Introduction: Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of oncology, offering new hope to patients with advanced malignancies. Tumor-induced immunosuppression limits the effectiveness of current immunotherapeutic strategies, such as PD-1/PDL-1 checkpoint inhibitors. Adenosine, a purine nucleoside molecule, is crucial to this immunosuppression because it stops T cells from activating and helps regulatory T cells grow.

This study uses advanced bioinformatics techniques to discern differentially expressed genes (DEGs) implicated in the pathogenesis of HCC. The primary objective is to discover novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets that can contribute to the advancement of HCC research.

Previous evidence indicates that the host's innate immune responses against CE can combat and regulate the growth rate and mortality of hydatid cyst in the host's internal organs. However, the survival mechanisms of CE are not yet fully elucidated in the human body.

During the parasitic invasion, creates a parasitophorous vacuole, which enables the modulation of cell functions, allowing its replication and host infection. It has effective strategies to escape the immune response and reach privileged immune sites and remain inactive in a controlled environment in tissue cysts.
