- W4385835258 abstract "BACKGROUND: Cervical cancers (CaCx), like many other cancer types, portray high molecular heterogeneity that affects response to therapy, including immunotherapy. In India and other developing countries, CaCx mortality rates are very high because women report to the clinics with advanced cancers in absence of organized screening programs. This calls for implementation of newer therapeutic regimens for CaCx, like immunotherapy, which is again not used commonly in such countries. OBJECTIVE: Therefore, we focused on dissecting tumour immune heterogeneity, if any, identify immune gene-based biomarkers of heterogeneity and subsets of such cancers with the potential for immunotherapy. We also attempted to characterize the cancer-associated phenotypes of such subsets, including viral load, to decipher the relationship of tumour immunogenicity with oncogenicity. METHODS: Employing RNA-seq analysis of 44 HPV16 positive CaCx patients, immune subtypes were identified by unsupervised hierarchical clustering of global immune-gene expression profiles. Proportions of tumor infiltrating immune cells in the tumor milieu were estimated, employing Cell-type Identification by Estimating Relative Subsets of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT), using gene expression data from RNA-seq. The oncogenic phenotypes of the immune subtypes of CaCx were deciphered through differential gene expression (DEGs) and pathway enrichment analysis. Viral load was estimated through TaqMan-based qRT-PCR analysis. RESULTS: Analysis revealed the presence of two immune subtypes of CaCx, A (26/44; 59.09%) and B (18/44; 40.90%). Compared to Subtype-A, Subtype-B portrayed overexpression of immune genes and high infiltration of immune cells, specifically CD8+ T cells (p < 0.0001). Besides, a significant correlation between PD-1 and PD-L1 co-expression among Subtype-B, as opposed to Subtype-A, confirmed the interactive roles of these immune checkpoint molecules in Subtype B. Stepwise discriminant analysis pin-pointed ten immune-genes that could classify 100% of the patients significantly (p < 0.0001) into the two immune subtypes and serve as potential biomarkers of CaCx immunity. Differential gene expression analysis between the subtypes unveiled that Subtype-B was more biologically aggressive than Subtype-A, reflecting loss of structural integrity and promotion of cancer progression. The viral load was significantly lower in Subtype-B (average viral load = 10.74/100 ng of genomic DNA) compared to Subtype-A (average viral load = 14.29/100 ng of genomic DNA). Thus viral load and the ten-gene panel underscore their association with immunogenicity and oncogenicity. CONCLUSION: Our study provides strong evidence that only a subset, about 41% of HPV16 positive CaCx patients in India, portray immune enrichment of the tumor milieu coupled with aggressive phenotypes. Such subtypes are therefore likely to benefit through checkpoint molecule-based or tumor infiltrating lymphocyte-based immunotherapy, which could be a leap forward in tackling aggressive forms of such CaCx in India and other developing countries." @default.
