Accumulation of MDSC and Th17 Cells in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Predicts the Efficacy of a FOLFOX–Bevacizumab Drug Treatment Regimen
Abstract
Host immunity controls the development of colorectal cancer, and chemotherapy used to treat colorectal cancer is likely to recruit the host immune system at some level. Athough preclinical studies have argued that colorectal cancer drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and oxaliplatin, exert such effects, their combination as employed in the oncology clinic has not been evaluated. Here, we report the results of prospective immunomonitoring of 25 metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients treated with a first-line combination regimen of 5-FU, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab (FOLFOX–bevacizumab), as compared with 20 healthy volunteers. Before this therapy was initiated, T regulatory cells (Treg), Th17, and granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (gMDSC) were increased significantly in mCRC, but only a high level of gMDSC was associated with a poor prognosis. Chemotherapy modulated the Treg/Th17 balance by decreasing Treg and increasing Th17 cell frequency by 15 days after the start of treatment. Increased Th17 frequency was associated with a poor prognosis. FOLFOX–bevacizumab treatment elicited a decrease in gMDSC in 15 of 25 patients and was associated with a better survival outcome. Notably, the gMDSCs that expressed high levels of PD-L1, CD39, and CD73 exerted a robust immunosuppressive activity, relative to other myeloid cells present in blood, which could be reversed by blocking the CD39/CD73 and PD-1/PD-L1 axes. Our work underscores the critical prognostic impact of early modifications in Th17 and gMDSC frequency in mCRC. Furthermore, it provides a clinical rationale to combine FOLFOX–bevacizumab chemotherapy with inhibitors of ATP ectonucleotidases and/or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies to more effectively treat this disease.

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.
