Abstract
Recent studies have highlighted that the microbiome is the essential factor that can modulate the clinical activity of immunotherapy. However, the role of the microbiome varies significantly across different immunotherapies, suggesting that it is critical to understand the precise function of the microbiome in each type of immunotherapy. While many previous studies primarily focus on summarizing the role of the microbiome in immune checkpoint inhibitors, we seek to explore a novel aspect of the microbiome in other immunotherapies such as mesenchymal stem cell therapy, chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy, and antibodies-based therapy (e.g., adalimumab, infliximab, bevacizumab, denosumab, etc.) which are rarely summarized in previous reviews. Moreover, we highlight innovative strategies for utilizing microbiome and microbial metabolites to enhance the clinical response of immunotherapy. Collectively, we believe that our manuscript will provide novel insights and innovative approaches to the researchers, which could drive the development of the next generation of personalized therapeutic interventions using microbiomes.
