Expressions of CXCR3 and PD-1 on T cells and their clinical relevance in colorectal cancer

Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier B.V..

PURPOSE: Clinical application of immunotherapy represented by Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody has changed the treatment paradigm for colorectal cancer (CRC), and tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes are critical for anti-PD-1 therapy in CRC. However, there are few studies on the relationship between the expression CXCR3 on T lymphocytes and the clinical aspects of CRC. In this study, we analyzed the expression levels of CXCR3 and PD-1 in CD8+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes in healthy donors (HDs) and patients with CRC.

METHODS: We detected the expressions of CXCR3 and PD-1 on T lymphocytes in peripheral blood of healthy donors as well as peripheral blood, tumor tissue and para-cancerous tissues of patients with CRC using flow cytometry. We also analyzed the relationship between the expressions of CXCR3 and PD-1 on T lymphocytes and the pathological characteristics of CRC using t test.

RESULTS: Expression of CXCR3 on tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes was lower, whereas the expression of PD-1 was higher than that on para-cancerous tissues and PB in patients with CRC. In patients with lymph node metastasis of CRC, the expressions levels of CXCR3+ PD-1+ on tumor-infiltrating CD8+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes were higher than those in patients without lymph node metastasis. The levels of CXCR3+ PD-1+ expressions differed depending on the primary tumor site.

CONCLUSION: Expressions of CXCR3 and PD-1 on tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes are related to the development of CRC and metastasis, providing clues for exploring the pathogenesis of CRC and developing new strategies for tumor immunotherapy.
