This invention provides the application of the LHPP
gene in
liver cancer immunotherapy and
liver cancer immunotherapy drugs. Reagents that promote LHPP
gene expression can be used to prepare
liver cancer immunotherapy drugs. This invention also provides an mRNA
nanomedicine, which is prepared by the following method: [The invention then describes a process involving Meo-PEG-Dlink]. m A
PLGA solution, an
aqueous solution of LHPP
gene mRNA, and a
cationic liposome solution were mixed and added dropwise to water under stirring to obtain a nanosolution. The nanosolution was then transferred to an
ultrafiltration membrane and centrifuged. This invention is the first to discover that LHPP can participate in the immunotherapy of liver
cancer and is associated with the
survival prognosis of liver
cancer. LHPP enhances STAT1
nuclear translocation by affecting the expression of
autophagy-regulated IFNβ, thereby promoting the expression of
T cell-related chemokines secreted by liver
cancer cells, and ultimately promoting CD8+ expression. +
T cell infiltration. Therefore, the LHPP gene can serve as a novel target for immunotherapy of liver cancer. The mRNA
nanomedicine described has advantages such as long
circulation time in the blood, high accumulation in tumors, rapid mRNA release, and low cost.
