چکیده

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Colorectal cancer (CRC) harbours different types of DNA alterations, including microsatellite instability (MSI). Cancers with high levels of MSI (MSI-H) are considered to have a good prognosis, probably related to lymphocyte infiltration within tumours. The aim of the present study was to characterise the intratumoural expression of markers associated with the antitumour immune response in mismatch repair (MMR)-proficient (MSS) colon cancers. METHODS Ninety human colon cancers (T) and autologous normal colon mucosa (NT) were quantified for the expression of 15 markers of the immune response with quantitiative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR). mRNA expression levels were correlated with MMR status. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed using both interleukin 17 (IL17) and CD3 antibodies. RESULTS Expression of cytotoxic markers (FasL, granzyme B and perforin), inflammatory cytokines (IL1beta, IL6, IL8, IL17 and transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta)) and a marker of regulatory T cells (forkhead box P3 (Foxp3)) was significantly higher in tumours than in autologous normal tissues. Adjusting for MMR status, higher tumoural expression of both granzyme B and perforin was associated with the MSI-H phenotype, and the perforin T/NT ratio was higher in MSI-H tissues than in MSS tissues. Higher tumoural expression of Foxp3, IL17, IL1beta, IL6 and TGFbeta was associated with the MSS phenotype, and the IL17 T/NT ratio was higher in MSS tissues than in MSI-H tissues as assessed by both qRT-PCR and IHC. CONCLUSIONS Immune gene expression profiling in CRC displayed different patterns according to MMR status. Higher Foxp3, IL6, TGFbeta and IL17 expression is a particular determinant in MMR-proficient CRC. These may be potential biomarkers for a new prognostic "test set" in sporadic CRCs.

TIA-1 Cytotoxic Granule-Associated RNA Binding Protein Improves the Prognostic Performance of CD8 in Mismatch Repair-Proficient Colorectal Cancer

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests a confounding effect of mismatch repair (MMR) status on immune response in colorectal cancer. The identification of innate and adaptive immune cells, that can complement the established prognostic effect of CD8 in MMR-proficient colorectal cancers patients, representing 85% of all cases, has not been performed. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Colorectal cancers fro...

Prognostic Impact of FoxP3+ Regulatory T Cells in Relation to CD8+ T Lymphocyte Density in Human Colon Carcinomas

BACKGROUND T-lymphocyte infiltration into colon carcinomas can influence clinical outcome, and interactions among T cell subsets may be more informative than either subset alone. Our objective was to examine the prognostic impact of tumor-infiltrating FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) in relation to cytotoxic CD8(+) T lymphocytes in patients with colon carcinomas characterized by DNA mismatch...

The Place of Blood Immune Markers in Colon Cancer

(primary vs metastatic tumour). We have shown that the expression of leptin (also considered as a cytokine-like) receptor in colon tumour cells influences chemokine expression depending on the colon location and MMR status. 11 Simultaneous increases in FoxP3, IL17, IL6 and TGFb expression in the majority of sporadic CRC (microsatellite stable (MSS) and leftsided), argue for a disturbed immune r...

Microsatellite instability and DNA mismatch repair protein deficiency in Lynch syndrome colorectal polyps.

Colorectal cancers associated with Lynch syndrome are characterized by deficient DNA mismatch repair (MMR) function. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of microsatellite instability (MSI) and loss of MMR protein expression in Lynch syndrome-associated polyps. Sixty-two colorectal polyps--37 adenomatous polyps, 23 hyperplastic polyps, and 2 sessile serrated polyps (SSP)--from 34 subjects wit...
