Abstract Objective: To investigate the association between ILDR1 and prognosis and immune infiltration in gastric cancer. Methods: We analyzed the RNA sequencing data of 9736 tumor tissues and 8587 normal tissues in the TCGA and GTEx databases through the GEPIA2 platform. The expression of ILDR1 in gastric cancer and normal gastric mucosa tissues with GEPIA and TIMER. Clinical subgroup analysis was made through Kaplan-Meier analysis. Analyzed the correlation between ILDR1 and VEGFA expression in gastric cancer, through the gene sequencing data of gastric cancer in TCGA. Explored the relationship between ILDR1 methylation and the prognosis of gastric cancer patients through the MethSurv database. The correlation between ILDR1 and immune cells and the correlation of copy number variation were explored through the TIMER database. Results: ILDR1-high GC patients had a lower PFS and OS. High ILDR1 expression was significantly correlated with tumor grade. There was a negative correlation between the ILDR1 expression and the abundances of CD8+ T, Macrophages and DC and etc. The methylation level of ILDR1 is associated with a good prognosis of gastric cancer. ILDR1 copy number variation was correlated with immune cells, IDLR1 arm-loss was associated with the infiltration of B cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells, and arm-duplication was associated with the infiltration of B cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells. Conclusion: The increased expression of ILDR1 is associated with poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer. ILDR1 can be used as a novel predictive biomarker to provide a new therapeutic target for gastric cancer patients.

Abstract Abstract: Objective Gastric cancer is a malignant tumour that severely affects the health of patients. This study analyses the correlation between gastric cancer-infiltrating immune cell patterns and clinical prognosis and provides a scientific basis for the development of comprehensive tumour prevention and treatment strategies. Method Transcripts and related clinical data from 9-2019 for gastric cancer were downloaded from the TCGA database. The proportions of 22 kinds of immune cells were calculated by CIBERSORT software, and the correlation of each immune cell component ratio with tumour grade, clinical stage and overall survival (OS) was evaluated. Results A total of 413 gene transcript data sets were obtained from the TCGA database, including 381 for gastric cancer and 32 for normal tissues. The expression of various macrophages in tumour tissues was abundant. The immune cell composition, which included resting dendritic cells (p=0.02), M1 macrophages (p=0.031), resting mast cells (p=0.02), CD8 T cells (p=2.445e-04), M0 macrophages (p=6.353e-04), activated mast cells (p=0.006), neutrophils (p=0.003), resting NK cells (p=0.014), and gamma delta T cells (p=0.033), is related to the pathological grade. As the tumour stage of gastric cancer patients progresses, the proportion of some immune cells, including eosinophils (p=0.013), activated mast cells (p=0.042), neutrophils (p=0.007), and resting NK cells (p=0.036) gradually increases, while the proportion of other immune cells, for example, CD8 T cells (p=0.018), Tregs (p=0.039), M1 macrophages (p=0.018), and activated NK cells (p=0.042) gradually decreases. Higher expression of CD8 T cells suggests a better prognosis. Conclusion The composition of tumour-infiltrating immune cells differed greatly in different pathological grades and stages of gastric cancer. CD8 T cells can be used as a prognostic factor for gastric cancer patients.

4535 Background: 35% of stage IIIB/C Gastric cancer patients will recurrent after D2 gastrectomy within one year. Mutation-derived epitopes (neoantigens) has been demonstrated to induce tumor cell specific immune responses controlling the tumor growth. Nanovaccine can increase antigen presentation efficiency and elicit potent antitumor T cell responses with robust therapeutic efficacy. We hypothesized that vaccination with neoantigens/cancer testis (CT) antigens could expand pre-existing and induce antigen-specific T-cells populations, favouring of tumor control enhancement. Here, we report the first-in-human application of this concept in gastric cancer. Methods: Patient-specific mutation-containing neoantigens were selected on the basis of tumour-specific mutations whole-exome sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing. Cancer testis antigens were obtained according to immunohistochemical staining and HLA-binding affinity prediction. PVAC is an amphiphiles nanovaccine loaded with multiple personalized neoantigens/cancer testis antigens designed to induce antigen specific T cells and associated antitumor responses. PVAC will be administrated to stage IIIB/IIIC gastric carcinoma after six cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (S-1/Oxaliplatin or S-1/docetaxel). Each patient received PVAC by subcutaneous injection on Days 1, 4, 8, 15, 22, 43, 64, 85, 169, administrated with the adjuvant montanide ISA 51 VG. Safety, immunogenicity and clinical efficacy will be evaluated. Results: 25 stage IIIB or IIIC gastric cancer patients were enrolled in this study. Mean age was 54.3 years old (range: 34-70), and ECOG performance scores were 0 or 1. Repeated dosing has been well tolerated with mild local discomfort and no DLTs. Three patients were observed grade 2 local skin reactions in the injection sites. No SAEs related to PVAC have been observed. Among median follow up time of 12.6 months (range: 8.5-25.0 months), only two patients had local recurrence at 24.0 months and 10.5 months after surgery, respectivelt. The rest 23 patients remain disease free on study. Neoantigen specific T cell responses have been detected by IFN-γ Elispot from PBMCs. Conclusions: PVAC is a multiple neoantigen/CT antigens nanovaccine that personalizes tumor specific antigens and the individual patient’s capacity to respond. Addition of PVAC may prolong progression-free survival (PFS) after the standard of care chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR1800017319 .

Abstract Background Studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs and N6-methyladenosine play an important role in gastric cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation and prognostic value of m6A-related lncRNAs and immune infiltration in gastric cancer. Methods We downloaded the clinically related information and RNA-Seq transcriptome data of gastric cancer patients from the TCGA database. Univariate Cox regression analysis and Pearson analysis were used to screen out m6A-related lncRNAs. Consensus cluster analysis was used to divide the sample into two clusters, and LASSO analysis and minimum absolute shrinkage were used to construct a risk scoring model. Results A total of 25 lncRNA expression profiles were screened, and gastric cancer patients were divided into different subtypes. Cluster 2 had a better prognosis, but its matrix score, estimate score and immune score were low. Cluster 1 was rich in resting memory CD4 T cells, regulatory T cells, monocytes, and resting mast cells, and Cluster 2 was rich in activated memory CD4 T cells and follicular helper T cells. Thirteen lncRNAs were selected to construct a risk model, and the prognosis of gastric cancer patients in the high-risk group was poor. The expression of PD-L1 in tumors is significantly higher than that in normal tissues. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that the overall survival rate was significantly related to stage and risk score, which can be used as an independent prognostic factor. The results of the heat map and scatter plot showed that clusters (P=0.0045) and grade (G1-2, G3, P=0.0037) were significantly related to prognosis. The results of the relationship between the risk score and immune cell infiltration showed that memory B cells, resting dendritic cells, M0 macrophages, and M2 macrophages were positively correlated with risk scores, while resting mast cells, monocytes, activated NK cells, and follicular helper T cells were negatively correlated with risk scores. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that m6A-related lncRNAs may play an important role in the prognosis of gastric cancer patients and the tumor immune microenvironment and provide help for the treatment of gastric cancer patients.
