Abstract Background The balance between immune-stimulatory and immune-suppressive mechanisms in the tumour microenvironment is associated with tumour rejection and can predict the efficacy of immune checkpoint-inhibition therapies. Methods We consider the observed differences between the transcriptional programmes associated with cancer types where the levels of immune infiltration predict a favourable prognosis versus those in which the immune infiltration predicts an unfavourable prognosis and defined a score named Mediators of Immune Response Against Cancer in soLid microEnvironments (MIRACLE). MIRACLE deconvolves T cell infiltration, from inhibitory mechanisms, such as TGFβ, EMT and PI3Kγ signatures. Results Our score outperforms current state-of-the-art immune signatures as a predictive marker of survival in TCGA (n = 9305, HR: 0.043, p value: 6.7 × 10−36). In a validation cohort (n = 7623), MIRACLE predicts better survival compared to other immune metrics (HR: 0.1985, p value: 2.73 × 10−38). MIRACLE also predicts response to checkpoint-inhibitor therapies (n = 333). The tumour-intrinsic factors inversely associated with the reported score such as EGFR, PRKAR1A and MAP3K1 are frequently associated with immune-suppressive phenotypes. Conclusions The association of cancer outcome with the level of infiltrating immune cells is mediated by the balance of activatory and suppressive factors. MIRACLE accounts for this balance and predicts favourable cancer outcomes.

AbstractThe overall survival of metastatic colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) remains poor, so it is important to explore the mechanisms of metastasis and invasion. This study aimed to identify invasion-related genetic markers for prognosis prediction in patients with COAD. Three molecular subtypes (C1, C2, and C3) were obtained based on 97 metastasis-related genes in 365 COAD samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). A total of 983 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified among the different subtypes by using the limma package. A 6-gene signature (ITLN1, HOXD9, TSPAN11, GPRC5B, TIMP1, and CXCL13) was constructed via Lasso-Cox analysis. The signature showed strong robustness and could be used in the training, testing, and external validation (GSE17537) cohorts with stable predictive efficiency. Compared with other published signatures, our model showed better performance in predicting outcomes. Pan-cancer expression analysis results showed that ITLN1, TSPAN11, CXCL13, and GPRC5B were downregulated and TIMP1 was upregulated in most tumor samples, including COAD, which was consistent with the results of the TCGA and GEO cohorts. Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry were performed to validate protein expression. Tumor immune infiltration analysis results showed that TSPAN11, GPRC5B, TIMP1, and CXCL13 protein levels were significantly positively correlated with CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. Further, the TIMP1 and CXCL13 proteins were significantly related to the tumor immune infiltration of CD8+ T cells. We recommend using our signature as a molecular prognostic classifier to assess the prognostic risk of patients with COAD.

Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is one of the most malignant diseases with poor survival rate over the world. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is highly related to the oncogenesis, development, and prognosis of KIRC. Thus, making the identification of KIRC biomarkers and immune infiltrates critically important. Microtubule Interacting and Trafficking Domain containing 1(MITD1) was reported to participate in cytokinesis of cell division. In the present study, multiple bioinformatics tools and databases were applied to investigate the expression level and clinical value of MITD1 in KIRC. We found that the expression of MITD1 was significantly increased in KIRC tissues. Further, the KIRC patients with high MITD1 levels showed a worse overall survival (OS) rate and disease free survival (DFS) rate. Otherwise, we found a significant correlation MITD1 expression and the abundance of CD8+ T cells. Functional enrichment analyses revealed that immune response and cytokine-cytokine receptor are very critical signaling pathways which associated with MITD1 in KIRC. In conclusion, our findings indicated that MITD1 may be a potential biomarker and associated with immune infiltration in KIRC.
