Multiplatform computational analysis of mast cells in adrenocortical carcinoma tumor microenvironment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Immunotherapeutic response failure of adrenocortical carcinomas highlights a need for novel strategies targeting immune cell populations in the tumor microenvironment to overcome tumor resistance and enhance therapeutic response. A recent study explored a new link between tumor mast cell infiltration and improved outcomes in patients with adrenocortical carcinomas. We further dissect the role of mast cells in the tumor microenvironment of adrenocortical carcinomas by examining the tumor mast cell expression signatures and mast cell activity within the tumor microenvironment to provide additional insight into potential novel immunotherapeutic targets.

Methods

Using the CIBERSORTx computational immunogenomic deconvolution algorithm to analyze adrenocortical carcinom
