Tumor-infiltrating γδT cells predict prognosis and adjuvant chemotherapeutic benefit in patients with gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: Purpose : Tumor-infiltrating γδT cells (γδTILs) have different prognostic value and functions among various cancers. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of γδTILs in gastric cancer. Patients and methods : A discovery set (n = 190) and a validation set (n = 273) were involved in this study. Patients with TNM II and III disease were used to predict response to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) in both sets. γδTILs were defined as intense (γδT cells≥ 5/HPF) versus nonintense (γδT cells<5/HPF). Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted to analysis survival. Hazard ratio (HR) and 95%CI associated with γδTILs were evaluated by multivariable Cox models. Findings : The prognostic value of γδTILs in the discovery set (HR, 0.193; 95%CI, 0.097-0.383; P<0.001) was confirmed in the validation set (HR, 0.442; 95%CI, 0.251-0.779; P = 0.005) for overall survival (OS). Patients whose tumors with γδT cells≥ 5/HPF could benefit from ACT, with a reduced risk of compromised survival compared with those with γδT cells<5/HPF (HR, 0.086; 95%CI, 0.023-0.327; P<0.001 in discovery set; and HR, 0.077; 95%CI, 0.023-0.256; P<0.001 in validation set). Conclusion : The present study shows that intense γδT cells infiltration is an independent prognostic factor in patients with gastric cancer and is predictive of a survival benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with TNM II and III disease.

Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils predict prognosis and adjuvant chemotherapeutic benefit in patients with biliary cancer.

Project description:Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils (TIN) carry out quite significant but opposite functions in different cancers, and their function in biliary cancer has not been fully characterized. To investigate the prognostic significance of TIN in biliary cancer, a training set (n = 118) and a validation set (n = 127) were involved in this study. TIN were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining of CD66b, and then defined as low (neutrophils <18/high-power field [HPF]) vs high (neutrophils ?18/HPF). Kaplan-Meier curve, Cox proportional hazards models and receiver operating characteristic curve were used to assess the prognostic significance. TIN was identified as an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in the training set (HR: 4.720; 95% CI: 2.623-8.493; P < .001) which was confirmed in the validation set (HR: 4.993; 95% CI: 2.626-9.492; P < .001). Notably, among patients with stage III and IV disease, those with low TIN could benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, with a reduced risk of compromised survival compared with those with high TIN (HR: 0.294; 95% CI: 0.099-0.873; P = .047 in the training set; and HR: 0.100; 95% CI: 0.022-0.462; P = .006 in the validation set). In addition, TIN were negatively related to biological pathways as regulation of activated T-cell proliferation and lymphocyte-mediated immunity, and showed a negative correlation with CD8 + T cells (r = -.324, P < .001). Taken together, our results implicate TIN as an independent marker of prognosis and indicator of patients who would benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy in biliary cancer.

Tumor-infiltrating mast cells predict prognosis and gemcitabine-based adjuvant chemotherapeutic benefit in biliary tract cancer patients.

Project description:BackgroundRecent studies have reported TIMs play an important role in tumors progression or regression, but the effect of TIMs in biliary tract cancer remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic value of tumor infiltrating mast cells (TIMs) and its influence on gemcitabine-based adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) benefits in biliary tract cancer patients after surgery.MethodsTIMs were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining of tryptase in 250 patients with resected gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) or extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma (EBDC) from Zhongshan Hospital. The relationships between TIMs and clinicopathological factors and postoperative prognosis were analyzed respectively.ResultsHigh TIMs infiltration was significantly correlated with prolonged overall survival (OS). Furthermore, multivariate analysis indicated TNM stage and TIMs as independent prognostic factors for OS. Patients with high TIMs infiltration appeared to significantly benefit from Gemcitabine-based ACT in the discovery and validation cohorts. Spearman analysis identified that TIMs infiltration were positively correlated with anti-tumor CD8+ T cells.ConclusionTIMs infiltration is an independent favorable prognostic factor in GBC and EBDC patients, which could better stratify patients with different prognosis and predict benefit from gemcitabine-based ACT.

Tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells combined with tumor-associated CD68+ macrophages predict postoperative prognosis and adjuvant chemotherapy benefit in resected gastric cancer.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Tumor-infiltrating immune cells are present in various malignant tumors, but their clinical significance in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). METHODS:Using a prospective database containing 401 cases of GC, we evaluated TIL (cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) expression) and TAM (cluster of differentiation 68 (CD68) expression) statuses via immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS:Compared with CD8+ TIL-negative cases (n?=?196, 48.6%), CD8+ TIL-positive cases (n?=?205, 51.1%) showed significantly better recurrence-free survival (RFS) [log-rank p<0.001; multivariate HR: 0.372; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.239-0.579, p<0.001]. In contrast, compared with CD68+ TAM-negative cases (n?=?217, 54.1%), CD68+ TAM-positive cases (n?=?184, 45.9%) had significantly poor RFS [log-rank p<0.001; multivariate HR: 2.182; 95% CI: 1.435-3.318, p<0.001]. Thus, patients with a positive CD8+ TIL and negative CD68+ TAM status exhibited significantly increased RFS. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that CD8+ TILs and CD68+ TAMs may serve as independent prognostic markers for RFS. Incorporating CD8+ TIL and CD68+ TAM statuses into the AJCC TNM system generated a predictive model with better predictive accuracy for RFS. More importantly, patients with a positive TIL and negative TAM status showed a tendency of improved RFS after postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (PAC). Similar results were obtained by overall survival (OS) analysis. CONCLUSIONS:CD8+ TIL and CD68+ TAM statuses were identified as independent prognostic factors that may be integrated into the current TNM staging system to refine risk stratification and to better predict the survival benefit from PAC in patients with GC. TRIAL REGISTRATION:The current controlled trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT02327481 ) on December 30, 2014.

Tumor stroma-infiltrating mast cells predict prognosis and adjuvant chemotherapeutic benefits in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Project description:Which subgroups patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) could benefit most from adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) is blurred. Here we tried to stratify MIBC patients with tumor infiltrating mast cells (TIMs), explore the prognostic and predictive value of TIMs, and provide possible cellular explanations. We selected 259 MIBC patients who underwent radical cystectomy from two independent clinical centers between 2002 and 2014. TIMs were evaluated and prognostic and predictive value was assessed. The CIBERSORT method, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and differential gene expression analyses were performed to explore the possible cellular mechanisms. TIMs infiltration was distinct between stromal and epithelial area of MIBC specimens. Patients with higher stromal TIMs had a significant worse overall survival and recurrence free survival (HR = 2.228, 95%CI: 1.467-3.550; P = 0.001 and HR = 1.984, 95%CI: 1.105-3.374; P = 0.016). More importantly, pT2 patients with low stromal TIMs tended to have a lower risk of death and recurrence after ACT (HR = 0.233, 95%CI: 0.020-0.814; P = 0.033 and HR = 0.180, 95%CI: 0.022-0.722; P = 0.031). A negative correlativity between TIMs and CD8 + T cells was identified on TCGA-BLCA cohort. Immunohistochemistry results validated that high stromal TIMs were negatively correlated with CD8 + T cells (Spearman's rho = -0.215, P < 0.001). Differential gene expression suggested that low TIMs might represent a state of immune activation in MIBC. To conclude, high stromal TIMs infiltration was an independent unfavorable prognosticator for MIBC patients. Patients with low stromal TIMs might benefit the most from ACT, especially in pT2 stage.

Tumor-infiltrating IL-17A<sup>+</sup> cells determine favorable prognosis and adjuvant chemotherapeutic response in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Project description:The role of IL-17A+ cells remains controversial among various cancer types. This study aimed to investigate the effects of IL-17A+ cells on tumor immune contexture and clinical outcome in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). In this study, we enrolled 141 patients from Zhongshan Hospital, 118 patients from Shanghai Cancer Center and 403 patients from TCGA cohort. In vitro studies were conducted in 32 freshly resected tumors. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis. The results suggested that patients with high levels of IL-17A+ cells had prolonged overall survival and recurrence-free survival (HR = 0.268, P < .001; and HR = 0.433, P < .001). Moreover, these patients tended to be at lower risk of death and recurrence after adjuvant chemotherapy (P = .012 and P = .004). An increased number of IL-17A+ cells correlated with the infiltration of several anti-tumor immune cells into tumors. In addition, IL-17A+ cells had an influence on the recruitment, proliferation, and activation of CD8+ cells, and were positively associated with the expression of several anti-tumor effector cytokines. In conclusion, tumor-infiltrating IL17A+ cells were correlated with an elevated anti-tumor immunity in MIBC. Besides, high infiltration of IL17A+ cells can predict benefit from ACT for MIBC patients.

Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils predict benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Project description:Growing evidence shows tumor-infiltrating neutrophils (TINs) involvement in tumorigenesis. The objective of this study is to assess the prognostic effect of TINs and its impact on adjuvant chemotherapy benefits in muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). A total of 142 MIBC patients from Zhongshan Hospital, 119 MIBC patients from FUSCC, and 405 MIBC patients from TCGA cohort were enrolled in the study. TINs were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining of CD66b or the CIBERSORT method. Patients with high TINs had a significantly poorer overall survival (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.002, respectively) in the three sets. In the multivariate analysis, the presence of high TINs (HR = 2.122, p = 0.007; HR = 3.807, p < 0.001; HR = 2.104, p = 0.001; respectively) was identified as an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in the three sets. More importantly, Low TINs patients had significantly longer overall survival in patients without ACT in the three sets. Gene set enrichment analysis showed that lymphocyte activation (p < 0.001) and T cell activation (p = 0.008) were significantly enriched in the low TINs group. In addition, TINs were negatively correlated with CD8+ T cells, suggesting that the status of high-TINs was linked to the status of immunosuppression in MIBC. TINs could be used as independent prognostic factor. Low TINs identified a subgroup of MIBC patients who appeared to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Incorporation of TINs into TNM system could further stratify patients with different prognosis.

Tumor-infiltrating immune cells and prognosis in gastric cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:Tumor-infiltrating immune cells are a pivotal component of the tumor microenvironment (TME), but their indicative role remains poorly defined. A meta-analysis was performed to reveal the prognostic efficiency of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in gastric cancer (GC). By searching PubMed and Embase, we identified a total of 35 eligible articles that involved 4888 patients. Random or fixed effect models were employed to extract pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Our results indicated that high CD3+ lymphocyte infiltration in all the locations (AG), the tumor nest (TN), and the tumor stroma (TS) predicted better overall survival (OS) (HR=0.71, 95% CI=0.57-0.90; HR=0.58, 95% CI=0.42-0.80; and HR=0.50, 95% CI=0.37-0.68, respectively). CD8+ T cell infiltration in AG and FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor invasive margin (TM) were also associated with improved OS (HR=0.90, 95% CI=0.83-0.97; HR=0.65, 95% CI=0.48-0.87, respectively). However, contrasting results were found in the macrophage subset, with M2 in AG (HR=1.45, 95% CI=1.13-1.86) and the TN (HR=1.67, 95% CI=1.12-2.48) associated with worse OS. In summary, the combination of the densities and locations of tumor-infiltrating immune cells can be useful for predicting survival for GC patients, but additional research is needed to reinforce the reliability of this study's conclusions.

Cellular and gene signatures of tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells and natural-killer cells predict prognosis of neuroblastoma.

Project description:Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes play an essential role in improving clinical outcome of neuroblastoma (NB) patients, but their relationship with other tumor-infiltrating immune cells in the T cell-inflamed tumors remains poorly investigated. Here we show that dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer (NK) cells are positively correlated with T-cell infiltration in human NB, both at transcriptional and protein levels, and associate with a favorable prognosis. Multiplex imaging displays DC/NK/T cell conjugates in the tumor microenvironment of low-risk NB. Remarkably, this connection is further strengthened by the identification of gene signatures related to DCs and NK cells able to predict survival of NB patients and strongly correlate with the expression of PD-1 and PD-L1. In summary, our findings unveil a key prognostic role of DCs and NK cells and indicate their related gene signatures as promising tools for the identification of clinical biomarkers to better define risk stratification and survival of NB patients.

Tumor-infiltrating macrophages express interleukin-25 and predict a favorable prognosis in patients with gastric cancer after radical resection.

Project description:Interleukin-25 (IL-25) is a recently identified member of the proinflammatory IL-17 cytokine family; however, its role in human tumors remains largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the cellular source and clinical significance of IL-25 in gastric cancer (GC) in situ. The results demonstrated that macrophages (M?s) were the primary IL-25-expressing cells (IL-25+) in GC in situ. Moreover, IL-25+ cells were highly enriched in the intra-tumoral (IT) region of GC tissues (p < 0.001). The production of IL-25 in M?s exposed to culture supernatant from gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 in vitro was induced by transforming growth factor-?1, and their density in the IT region was positively associated with those of other effector immune cells, namely, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and CD103+T cells (p < 0.01). This suggested that macrophages might produce IL-25 to create an antitumor micromilieu in GC tissues. The level of IL-25+IT cells was positively associated with histological grade (p < 0.001) and found to be an independent predictor of favorable survival (p = 0.024) in patients with GC after radical resection. These findings suggest that IL-25+IT cells may be a novel therapeutic target in those patients.

Activated Tumor-infiltrating Fibroblasts Predict Worse Prognosis in Breast Cancer Patients.

Project description:Purpose: Activated tumor-infiltrating fibroblasts were significantly associated with survival of cancer patients. However, they are heterogeneous population, and the prognostic role of these cells in human breast cancer still remains controversial. Herein, we performed the meta-analysis to better understand the role of these cells in prognosis prediction for breast cancer patients. Methods: We searched PubMed and EBSCO to identify the studies evaluating the association of intratumoral activated fibroblast density detected by immunohistochemical (IHC) method and overall survival (OS) and/or disease-free survival (DFS) in breast cancer patients, then computed extracted data into hazard ratios (HRs) for OS, DFS and clinicopathological features such as lymph node metastasis, TNM stage with STATA 12.0. Results: A total of 3680 patients with breast cancer from 15 published studies were incorporated into this meta-analysis. We found that the infiltration of activated fibroblasts significantly decreased overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients. In stratified analyses, high density of FSP-1+ or podoplanin+ fibroblasts was significantly associated with worse OS; while α-SMA+ or podoplanin+ fibroblast infiltration was associated with worse DFS in breast cancer. In addition, elevated number of activated tumor-infiltrating fibroblasts significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and poor tumor differentiation of patients. Conclusion: The infiltration of activated fibroblasts, especially the FSP-1+ or podoplanin+ fibroblasts leads to worse clinical outcome in breast cancer patients, implicating that it is a valuable prognostic biomarker and targeting it may have a potential for effective treatment.
