Tumor-Infiltrating CD8+ T Cells Driven by the Immune Checkpoint-Associated Gene IDO1 Are Associated With Cervical Cancer Prognosis.

ABSTRACT: Tumor-infiltrating immune cells, associated with tumor progression, are promising prognostic biomarkers. However, the relationship between levels of gene expression and that of immune cell infiltration in cervical cancer prognosis is unknown. In this study, three cervical cancer gene expression microarrays (GSE6791, GSE63678 and GSE55940) were obtained from the GEO database. The IDO1 gene was identified by differentially expressed gene screening. The gene expression profiles of TCGA and GTEx databases along with comprehensive bioinformatics analysis identified that the IDO1 gene was upregulated in cervical cancer with significant difference in expression at different N stages. In addition, it was also upregulated in HPV16 positive sample. The pan-cancer analysis identified that IDO1 was highly expressed in most cancers. TIMER analysis revealed that the expression of IDO1 in CESC shows positive correlation with CD8⁺ T cells, CD4⁺ T cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells. IDO1 expression showed remarkable positive correlation with all immune cell markers except M1 macrophages. CD8⁺ T cell infiltration GSEA results showed that IDO1 was mainly associated with tumor immune-related signaling pathways.

Project description:BackgroundsThe high morbidity and mortality of lung cancer are serious public health problems. The prognosis of lung cancer and whether to apply immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) are currently urgent problems to be solved.MethodsUsing R software, we performed Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis, Cox regression analysis, functional enrichment analysis, Spearman correlation analysis, and the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis.ResultsOn the Tumor IMmune Estimation Resource (TIMER2.0) website, we calculated the abundance of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) patients. B cell and myeloid dendritic cell (DC1) were independent prognostic factors for LUAD and LUSC patients, respectively. Enrichment analysis confirmed that genes highly related to B cell or DC1 were closely related to the immune activation of lung cancer patients. In terms of adaptive immune resistance markers, CD8A, CD8B, immunomodulators (immunostimulants, major histocompatibility complex, receptors, and chemokines), immune-related pathways, tumor microenvironment score, and TIICs, high B cell/DC1 infiltration tissue was inflamed and immune-activated and might benefit more from the ICB. Genes most related to B cell [CD19, toll-like receptor 10 (TLR10), and Fc receptor-like A (FCRLA)] and DC1 (ITGB2, LAPTM5, and SLC7A7) partially clarified the roles of B cell/DC1 in predicting ICB efficacy. Among the 186 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways, there were three and four KEGG pathways, which partially explained the molecular mechanisms by which B cell and DC1 simultaneously predicted the prognosis and efficacy of immunotherapy, respectively. Among five immune subtypes, the abundance of B cell/DC1 and expression of six hub genes were higher in immune C2, C3, and C6.ConclusionB cell and DC1 could predict the prognosis and ICB efficacy of LUAD and LUSC patients, respectively. The six hub genes and seven KEGG pathways might be novel immunotherapy targets. Immune C2, C3, and C6 subtypes of lung cancer patients might benefit more from ICB therapy.

Project description:The present study aimed to explore the mechanism by which the immune landscape of the tumor microenvironment influences bladder cancer. CIBERSORT and ssGSEA analyses revealed that M2 macrophages accounted for the highest proportion from 22 subsets of tumor‑infiltrating immune cells and were enriched in higher histologic grade and higher pathologic stage bladder cancer and 'basal' subtype of muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Kaplan‑Meier survival curve analysis indicated that patients with high numbers of infiltrating M2 macrophages had worse overall and disease‑specific survival rates. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry results indicated that M2 macrophages were enriched in MIBC and promoted angiogenesis. M2 macrophage infiltration was higher in bladder cancer tissues with mutant TP53, RB transcriptional corepressor 1, phosphatidylinositol‑4,5‑bisphosphate 3‑kinase catalytic subunit α, lysine methyltransferase 2A, lysine demethylase 6A and apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic‑polypeptide‑like, but lower in tissues with mutant fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3), E74‑like ETS transcription factor 3, PC4 and SFRS1 interacting protein 1 and transmembrane and coiled‑coil domains 4. In addition, M2 macrophage infiltration was lower in the tissues with amplified FGFR3, erb‑b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2, BCL2‑like 1, telomerase reverse transcriptase and tyrosine‑3‑monooxygenase/tryptophan‑5‑monooxygenase activation protein ζ, as well as in the tissues with deleted cyclin‑dependent kinase inhibitor 2A, CREB binding protein, AT‑rich interaction domain 1A, fragile histidine triad diadenosine triphosphatase, phosphodiesterase 4D, RAD51 paralog B, nuclear receptor corepressor 1 and protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type D. Finally, seven micro (mi) RNAs (miR‑214‑5p, miR‑223‑3p, miR‑155‑5p, miR‑199a‑3p, miR‑199b‑3P, miR‑146b‑5p, miR‑142‑5p) which were expressed differentially in at least three mutant genes and were positively correlated with M2 macrophage infiltration as well as expressed highly in high grade bladder cancer were identified. Overall, the present study concluded that M2 macrophages are the predominant tumor‑infiltrating immune cell in bladder cancer and differentially expressed miRNAs due to cancer‑specific genomic alterations may be important drivers of M2 macrophage infiltration. These findings suggested that M2 macrophage infiltration may serve as a potential immunotherapy target in bladder cancer.
