Altogether, reduced CD8+ T-cell infiltration—caused by PCSK9-mediated deficiency of the tumor antigen peptide–MHC that could be targets for cytotoxic T-cell recognition—might be one of the reasons why patients with PCSK9lo tumor tissue were more likely to benefit from ICIs compared with those with PCSK9hi tumor under advanced NSCLC treatment. Here, CD8A is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
