Chemokine CCL17 Affects Local Immune Infiltration Characteristics and Early Prognosis Value of Lung Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: CCL17 is an important chemokine that plays a vital immunomodulatory role in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Analysis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) data in Kaplan-Meier plotter databases found that the overall survival of patients in the CCL17 high-expression group was higher than that of the low-expression group, especially for patients with early (stages I and II) LUAD, which has a more positive prognostic value. Expression of CCL17 in LUAD was positively correlated with the proportion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, immunostimulators, and major histocompatibility complexes using the TISIDB databases. Based on the RNA-seq and clinical data of 491 LUAD patients obtained from the TCGA database, 1,455 differential genes were found between the CCL17 high- and low-expression groups. Using
