中文摘要

近年来抗癌治疗的进展表明,肿瘤免疫微环境在肿瘤进展和抗癌治疗耐药中具有重要意义。本研究调查了在人类T细胞白血病病毒1型(HTLV-1)携带者高度流行地区单一机构切除的180例原发性结直肠癌(CRC)组织。在这180例中,鉴定出35例HTLV-1携带者。与非携带者相比,HTLV-1携带者的CRC患者年龄显著更大(平均年龄:76.9 vs. 72.7岁,P = 0.0341),淋巴结转移发生率更低(pN0:91% vs. 65%,P = 0.0085),肿瘤分期更低(III期或IV期:11% vs. 36%,P = 0.0117)。HTLV-1携带者倾向于显示较低的复发发生率,尽管差异不显著(P = 0.2272)。叉头框P3阳性调节性T细胞(Tregs)的密度在HTLV-1携带者中显著更高(中位密度:132 vs. 89 cells/mm 2,P = 0.0051)。原位杂交显示HTLV-1碱性亮氨酸拉链因子阳性细胞,可能代表位于癌巢周围间质中的淋巴细胞。

我们的发现表明,在感染HTLV-1的CRC患者中,淋巴结转移受到显著抑制。由于据报道HTLV-1感染会损害Tregs的免疫抑制功能,因此在HTLV-1携带者的CRC患者中,抗癌免疫反应可能增强。

Recent advances in anti-cancer therapy have indicated the significance of the tumour immune microenvironment in tumour progression and resistance to anti-cancer therapy.

This study investigated primary colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues resected from 180 cases in a single institute in a region highly endemic for human T-cell leukaemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carriers. Among those 180 cases, 35 HTLV-1 carriers were identified. CRC patients who were HTLV-1 carriers were significantly older (mean age: 76. 9 vs. 72. 7 years, P = 0. 0341), with a lower incidence of lymph node metastases (pN0: 91% vs. 65%, P = 0. 0085), and lower tumour stages (stage III or IV: 11% vs.

36%, P = 0. 0117) compared to non-carriers. HTLV-1 carriers tended to show a lower incidence of relapse, although the difference was not significant (P = 0. 2272). The density of forkhead box P3-positive regulatory T cells (Tregs) was significantly higher in HTLV-1 carriers (median density: 132 vs. 89 cells/mm 2 , P = 0. 0051). In situ hybridisation showed cells positive for HTLV-1 basic leucine zipper factor, likely representing lymphocytes located in stroma around the cancer nest.

Our findings indicate that lymph node metastasis was significantly suppressed in CRC patients infected with HTLV-1. Since HTLV-1 infection reportedly impairs the immunosuppressive functions of Tregs, anti-cancer immune responses are potentially enhanced in CRC patients who are HTLV-1 carriers.
