Role of LATS1/2 in Prognosis of Advanced Gastric Cancer and Its Relationship With the Tumor Immune Microenvironment.

ABSTRACT: Background: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a refractory cancer particularly in Eastern Asia. Large tumor suppressor kinases 1/2 (LATS1/2) are core members of the Hippo pathway. The role of LATS1/2 in the prognosis of different subtypes of advanced gastric cancer and its relationship with the tumor immune microenvironment in GC remain unknown. Exploring the role of LATS1/2 in GC might provide potential immunotherapeutic approaches for treating GC. Methods: Four hundred and ninety surgically resected primary GC samples were assessed for LATS1/2, CD8, FOXP3, and CD163. Correlations between LATS1/2 expression and immune-related markers were investigated and the prognoses of patients with different GC subtypes were analyzed. Results: CD8 and CD163 appeared to be favorable and
