Abstract

Background

High interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels have been linked to poor prognosis in lung cancer, but conclusive data are lacking.

Materials and methods

A comprehensive search was conducted on April 1st, 2023, from electronic databases, focusing on studies with IL-8 expression evaluations and the availability of hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-free survival (DFS) or adequate data for their estimation. Then, we examined IL-8 and CXCR1 RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, and we correlated these data with OS.

Results

Among 2655 produced records, 10 manuscripts involving both non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer, were included in the analysis. Two manuscripts and one study included two and three different cohorts, respectively, for a total of 14 cohorts of patients. Overall, 4 cohorts evaluated IL-8 levels in patients treated with chemotherapy, 3 cohorts immunotherapy, 2 cohorts surgical patients and 4 cohorts other treatments; 1 cohort was removed, as the type of treatments was lacking. The 12 cohorts included in the OS analysis revealed that patients with high IL-8 levels have a lower OS probability, as compared to patients with low IL-8 levels (HR=1.75, 95 % CI 1.36–2.26). No significant difference between patients with high and low IL-8 levels was observed in the 8 cohorts available for PFS analysis. Sensitivity analysis according to treatment revealed significant PFS and OS differences for patients treated with chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Analysis of RNA-seq data from TCGA, confirmed the correlation between high IL-8 and CXCR1 expression and worse OS in patients with resected lung cancer.

Conclusion

To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first meta-analysis demonstrating a negative prognostic impact of high IL-8 level in lung cancer, particularly in patients treated with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy.

白细胞介素-8水平对肺癌预后的影响：荟萃分析和生物信息学验证

背景：高白细胞介素-8（IL-8）水平与肺癌的不良预后有关，但目前尚缺乏确凿的数据：2023年4月1日，我们在电子数据库中进行了一次全面检索，重点是对IL-8表达进行评估，并提供总生存期（OS）、无进展生存期（PFS）和无病生存期（DFS）的危险比（HR）和95%置信区间（CI）或足够的数据用于估算的研究。然后，我们研究了癌症基因组图谱（TCGA）数据集中的IL-8和CXCR1 RNA-seq数据，并将这些数据与OS相关联：在2655条记录中，有10篇同时涉及非小细胞肺癌和小细胞肺癌的稿件被纳入分析。两篇稿件和一项研究分别包含了两个和三个不同的队列，共计 14 个队列的患者。总体而言，4个队列评估了化疗患者的IL-8水平，3个队列评估了免疫疗法患者的IL-8水平，2个队列评估了外科手术患者的IL-8水平，4个队列评估了其他疗法患者的IL-8水平。纳入 OS 分析的 12 个队列显示，与 IL-8 水平低的患者相比，IL-8 水平高的患者 OS 概率较低（HR=1.75，95 % CI 1.36-2.26）。在可进行PFS分析的8个队列中，未观察到IL-8水平高和低的患者之间存在明显差异。根据治疗方法进行的敏感性分析显示，接受化疗或免疫治疗的患者的 PFS 和 OS 有明显差异。来自TCGA的RNA-seq数据分析证实了IL-8和CXCR1高表达与切除肺癌患者较差的OS之间的相关性：据我们所知，该研究是首个证明高IL-8水平对肺癌预后有负面影响的荟萃分析，尤其是在接受化疗和/或免疫治疗的患者中。
