For evaluation of sequential CPI and cetuximab treatment effects, we selected RWD-cetuximab cohort with 173 patients and RWD-CPI cohort with 658 patients from 6862 R/M HNSCC. Our result suggested patients treated with RWD-cetuximab after RWD-CPI had worse OS compared to no prior RWD-CPI (HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.02-3.16). Our data suggest the combination of cetuximab and nivolumab is well tolerated. Optimal sequencing of cetuximab and CPI may have an impact in prognosis and requires further evaluation.Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease are attributed to intestinal barrier disruption. Imbalance of cytokines has been reported in the intestinal epithelium of patients with GI disorders. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), derived from the fermentation of dietary fiber in the intestine, have been reported to benefit the intestinal barrier. Accordingly, we evaluated the effect of specific SCFAs on intestinal barrier function under cytokine-stimulated conditions. Caco-2 cells were cultured on insert membranes to generate monolayers, which then were used to investigate the effects of SCFAs. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), or interleukin-13 (IL-13) was added to the basolateral side of the membrane while SCFAs were added to the apical side. After a 24 h stimulation, transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) was measured, and the protein levels of claudin-1, claudin-2, claudin-3, claudin-4, occludin, and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) were evaluated by Western blot. Butyrate, but not acetate, propionate, or succinate, ameliorated the TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced decrease in TEER. TNF-α/IFN-γ stimulation significantly increased the protein level of claudin-2 and
