The influence of () infection and the characteristics of gastric cancer (GC) on tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) levels has not been extensively studied. Analysis of infiltrating-immune-cell subtypes as well as survival is necessary to obtain comprehensive information.
To determine the rates of deficient mismatch-repair (dMMR), HER2-status and infection and their association with TIL levels in GC.
Samples from 503 resected GC tumors were included and TIL levels were evaluated following the international-TILs-working-group recommendations with assessment of the intratumoral (IT), stromal (ST) and invasive-border (IB) compartments. The density of CD3, CD8 and CD163 immune cells, and dMMR and HER2-status were determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). infection was evaluated by routine histology and quantitative PCR (qPCR) in a subset of samples.
dMMR was found in 34.4%, HER2+ in 5% and -positive in 55.7% of samples. High IT-TIL was associated with grade-3 ( = 0.038), while ST-TIL with grade-1 ( < 0.001), intestinal-histology ( < 0.001) and no-recurrence ( = 0.003). dMMR was associated with high TIL levels in the ST ( = 0.019) and IB ( = 0.01) compartments, and ST-CD3 ( = 0.049) and ST-CD8 ( = 0.05) densities. HER2- was associated with high IT-CD8 ( = 0.009). -negative was associated with high IT-TIL levels ( = 0.009) when assessed by routine-histology, and with high TIL levels in the 3 compartments ( = 0.002-0.047) and CD8 density in the IT and ST compartments ( = 0.001) when assessed by qPCR. A longer overall survival was associated with low IT-CD163 ( = 0.003) and CD8/CD3 ( = 0.001 in IT and = 0.002 in ST) and high IT-CD3 ( = 0.021), ST-CD3 ( = 0.003) and CD3/CD163 ( = 0.002).
TIL levels were related to dMMR and -negativity. Low CD8/CD3 and high CD163/CD3 were associated with lower recurrence and longer survival.
()感染及胃癌(GC)特征对肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞(TIL)水平的影响尚未得到广泛研究。分析浸润免疫细胞亚型及生存率对于获取全面信息很有必要。
确定错配修复缺陷(dMMR)、人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)状态及()感染的发生率及其与GC中TIL水平的关联。
纳入503例切除的GC肿瘤样本,按照国际TIL工作组的建议评估TIL水平,并对瘤内(IT)、基质(ST)和浸润边缘(IB)区域进行评估。通过免疫组织化学(IHC)测定CD3、CD8和CD163免疫细胞密度以及dMMR和HER2状态。在一部分样本中通过常规组织学和定量聚合酶链反应(qPCR)评估()感染情况。
34.4%的样本存在dMMR,5%为HER2阳性,55.7%为()阳性。高IT-TIL与3级相关(P = 0.038),而ST-TIL与1级相关(P < 0.001)、肠型组织学相关(P < 0.001)且无复发相关(P = 0.003)。dMMR与ST(P = 0.019)和IB(P = 0.01)区域的高TIL水平以及ST-CD3(P = 0.049)和ST-CD8(P = 0.05)密度相关。HER2阴性与高IT-CD8相关(P = 0.009)。通过常规组织学评估时,()阴性与高IT-TIL水平相关(P = 0.009),通过qPCR评估时,与3个区域的高TIL水平相关(P = 0.002 - 0.047)以及IT和ST区域的CD8密度相关(P = 0.001)。总生存期较长与低IT-CD163(P = 0.003)、CD8/CD3(IT中P = 0.001,ST中P = 0.002)以及高IT-CD3(P = 0.021)、ST-CD3(P = 0.003)和CD3/CD163(P = 0.002)相关。
TIL水平与dMMR和()阴性相关。低CD8/CD3和高CD163/CD3与较低的复发率和较长的生存期相关。
