Abstract

A role for the immune system in controlling the progression of solid tumors has been established in several mouse models. However, the effect of immune responses and tumor escape on patient prognosis in the context of human cancer is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the cellular and molecular parameters that could describe in situ immune responses in human colorectal cancer according to clinical parameters of metastatic lymph node or distant organ invasion (META− or META+ patients). Primary tumor samples of colorectal carcinoma were analyzed by integrating large-scale phenotypic (flow cytometry, 39 patients) and gene expression (real time reverse transcription-PCR, 103 patients) data sets related to immune and protumoral processes. In META− colorectal cancer primary tumors with high densities of T cells, we observed significant positive correlations between markers of innate immune cells [tumor-associated macrophages, dendritic cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and NKT cells] and markers of early-activated T cells. Significant correlations were also observed between markers of cytotoxic and effector memory T-cell subpopulations. These correlation profiles were absent in tumors with low T-cell infiltrates and were altered in META+ tumors with high T-cell infiltrates. We show that the coexpression of genes mediating cytotoxicity (GNLY) and Th1 adaptive immune responses (IRF1) accurately predicted patient survival independently of the metastatic status. High intratumoral mRNA expression of the proangiogenic mediator vascular endothelial growth factor was associated with significantly reduced survival rates in patients expressing high mRNA levels of GNLY. Investigation of the colorectal cancer primary tumor microenvironment allowed us to uncover the association of favorable outcomes with efficient coordination of the intratumoral immune response.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
