Abstract:
The clinical application of immunotherapy has significantly improved the survival rate of tumor patients,and its mechanism plays an important role in the change of gut microorganisms and their metabolites,in addition to its own anti-tumor response,which enhances immune cell mediation.Short-chain fatty acids are the main products of bacteria fermenting carbohydrates not absorbed by the small intestine in the colon,and studies have shown that short-chain fatty acids have immunomodulation function,which can affect the tumor's response to immuno-checkpoint inhibitors.This paper reviews the research progress of short-chain fatty acids in the immunotherapy process of tumors in recent years.
