    Abstract BACKGROUND Hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) are both the risk factors for cancer. This study aimed to explore the prognostic value of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and hypertension in type 2 DM (T2DM) patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had received chemotherapy treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were 181 advanced NSCLC patients with T2DM between 2010 and 2019 included in this study. Their laboratory and clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The predictive value of FBG and hypertension was evaluated. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS The median PFS was 168.0 days (95% CI: 137.9-198.7 days) in patients with FBG ≥7 mmol/L compared to 154.0 days (95% CI: 126.7-181.3 days) for patients with FBG <7 mmol/L (hazard ratio [HR]=1.054; 95% CI: 0.7669-1.452; P=0.7447). Median PFS was longer in non-hypertensive patients than in hypertensive patients [179.0 days (95% CI: 137.3-220.7 days) versus 128.0 days (95% CI: 96.3-159.7 days); P=0.0189]. The existence of hypertension (HR=1.478; 95% CI: 1.063-2.055; P=0.020) was an independent predictor for shorter PFS in the multivariate analysis. Decreased hemoglobin was the major adverse event (over 95% patients). The incidence of all grades of adverse reactions was similar between hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients (all P>0.05) except diarrhea (P=0.020). CONCLUSIONS Complication of hypertension might confer a poor survival for advanced NSCLC patients with T2DM. Further prospective research is needed to confirm these findings.

    Abstract High-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOCs) were among the tumours with an unsatisfactory outcome of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). It is imperative to develop feasible biomarker for identifying responsive candidates and guiding precise immunotherapy for HGSOC patients. Here, we analysed genomic data of patients with HGSOCs to depict their immunological phenotype of tumour microenvironment (TME) and figure out the major determinants of immunogenicity. In comparison with other solid tumours, we observed the lowest levels of PD-L1, total mutation burden (TMB) and cytolytic molecules in HGSOCs. Surprisingly, TMB is not certainly positively related to tumour immune response as it failed to predict the response to ICIs in a considerable portion of patients in previous clinical trials. By a machine learning approach in search of biomarkers for immunotherapy implications for HGSOCs, we identified the ten most dominant factors determining the immunogenicity of HGSOCs. Interestingly, we found that BRCA1 mutated tumours presented a potent immunogenic phenotype, independent of TMB, meeting the criteria of both our dominant factors and the determinants of immunogenicity established before. Our findings provide evidence that BRCA1-mutation may be served as a predictive biomarker in guiding ICI therapies for the patients with HGSOCs.

    Abstract Background: Previous studies indicated that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is related to an increased lung cancer risk, but its role in the prognosis of NSCLC remains conflicting. This study investigated the impact of blood glucose control on the outcomes in NSCLC patients with T2DM treated with platinum-based doublets.
    Methods: Clinicopathological and survival data from 191 T2DM patients with advanced NSCLC, who received platinum-based chemotherapy, were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the blood glucose conditions during chemotherapy, patients were classified into poor (n = 84) and good control (n = 107) groups. Progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method.
    Results: The median PFS among patients with good glycemic control [197.0 (95% CI: 136.3-257.7) days] was longer than that among those with poor control [132.0 (95% CI: 112.5-151.5) days] (P = .0003). Further subgroup analysis of lung squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma patients showed that the median PFS of the good control group was also significantly longer than that of the poor control group [179.0 (95% CI: 78.4-279.6) days vs 125.0 (95% CI: 110.9-139.1) days, P = .0014; 197.0 (95% CI: 124.3-269.7) days vs 154.0 (95% CI: 129.9-178.1) days, P = .0359; respectively]. The incidence rates of side effects were similar among patients with good glycemic control and those with poor glycemic control (all P > .05).
    Conclusions: Satisfactory glycemic control during platinum-based chemotherapy might provide a survival benefit to T2DM patients with NSCLC. Further studies are warranted to confirm our findings.

    Abstract To define differences in tumor microenvironment (TME) immune phenotypes between right and left colorectal cancers (CRCs) and explore their therapeutic implications. Gene expression profiling and clinical characteristics of patients with CRC were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas data portal. Immune cell infiltration was estimated based on single-sample gene set enrichment analysis. CRCs tissue microarrays (TMAs) containing 90 consecutive cases of surgical samples were used for validation. Expression of CD8A and VEGFA was confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis with TMAs, and overall survival (OS) was analyzed. Expression profiling data demonstrated that CRC immune microenvironment from right side tumor was characterized as increased infiltration of immune cells with enhanced cytotoxic function, based on higher cytotoxic activity scores (CYT) and interferon-γ signatures. Expression of VEGFA, which could be neutralized by bevacizumab, was associated with decreased levels of activated CD8

    Abstract Background: A suppressive immune microenvironment and pathological angiogenesis are hallmarks of gastric cancer. Theoretically, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) stimulate pre-primed neoantigen-specific T cells, and antiangiogenic agents then facilitate their infiltration into the tumor niche by promoting vascular normalization. Currently, the interconnections of these two phenotypes and their relevance to the tumor microenvironment (TME) have not been fully characterized in gastric cancer.
    Materials and methods: Transcriptome profiling data retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were used to deconvolute the feature of TME for gastric cancer (N = 375). Machine learning, correlation, and prognosis analysis were applied to elucidate the correlations between angiogenesis, cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration, and patient survival.
    Results: Substantial heterogeneous infiltration of immune cell populations among cases was observed. Furthermore, among targetable pathways, angiogenesis was identified as the dominant factor in discriminating different infiltration statuses. Most importantly, the angiogenesis pathway was negatively correlated with the amount of activated CD8
    Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated a negative correlation between angiogenesis signaling and cytotoxic function in gastric cancer patients with a highly infiltrated immune niche. These data provided a rationale for potential combination strategy and further clinical investigations of ICIs plus antiangiogenesis agents for patients with gastric cancer with an inflamed TME.

    Abstract Background: The benefits of immune checkpoint inhibitors for first-line treatment in patients with lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR mutations are unclear. The effects of ICIs depend on the tumor microenvironment (TME). Differences in TME properties between mutant and wild-type EGFR have not been fully characterized.
    Patients and methods: We collected 105 surgically resected (50 EGFR mutated and 55 EGFR wild-type), treatment-naïve lung adenocarcinoma tissues with clinical data to investigate the landscape and compartmentalization of tumor-infiltrating immune cells with respect to EGFR status by immunohistochemistry. The normalized FPKM values of data for 531 patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Data Portal (https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/).
    Results: CD68-positive cells within the tumor niche exhibited more intensive infiltration in wild-type EGFR than in mutations, and was related to lymph node invasion. In the RNA-Seq analysis, MMP9 and VEGFA showed higher levels in wild-type EGFR than in mutant cases. The EGFR mutation independently predicted a favorable disease-free survival.
    Conclusion: The CD68-positive cells play a crucial role in discriminating the TME between different EGFR statuses.

    Abstract Combining whole exome sequencing, transcriptome profiling, and T cell repertoire analysis, we investigate the spatial features of surgically-removed biopsies from multiple loci in tumor masses of 15 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This revealed that the immune microenvironment has high spatial heterogeneity such that intratumoral regional variation is as large as inter-personal variation. While the local total mutational burden (TMB) is associated with local T-cell clonal expansion, local anti-tumor cytotoxicity does not directly correlate with neoantigen abundance. Together, these findings caution against that immunological signatures can be predicted solely from TMB or microenvironmental analysis from a single locus biopsy.
