MCT4 is an independent prognostic factor and affects immune cell infiltration in patients with colorectal liver oligometastases
Background
Monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) is a novel biomarker related to the level of immune cell infiltration, but its impact on tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of colorectal liver oligometastases (CLO) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess MCT4 expression in primary tumor and liver oligometastases, investigate its impact on immune cell infiltration and its prognostic value for CLO patients undergoing liver resection.
Methods
We retrospectively selected 135 CLO patients who underwent curative liver resection between June 1999 and December 2016, and samples included 74 primary tumor tissues and 122 liver metastases. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to detect MCT4 expression in paraffin-embedded specimens and tyramine signal amplification (TSA) was used to detect the density of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, including CD3 + , CD8 + and Foxp3 + . Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test, and independent prognostic factors were identified with Cox regression modeling.
Results
Survival analysis indicated that CLO patients with low MCT4 expression had better 3-year RFS and 3-year OS rates than those with high MCT4 expression. Multivariate analysis indicated that high MCT4 expression was independently associated with poor RFS and OS. High MCT4 expression was associated with a lower number of intratumoral CD3 + /CD8 + T cells and was associated with higher Foxp3 + T cells infiltration. Patients with low MCT4 expression and high levels of differential immune infiltration had longer survival.
Conclusions
MCT4 overexpression was associated with an unfavorable prognosis in patients with CLO and MCT4 expression level had an impact on intratumoral immune infiltration degree. A novel parameter that combined MCT4 expression level and differential immune infiltration level was constructed to stratify patients with CLO into different risk groups.
