简要总结
This study aims to investigate the impact of immunotherapy on the immune status of tumor microenvironment and peripheral blood of chest cancer patients. To do so, the investigators plan to collect tumor tissue and peripheral blood samples before and after immunotherapy, and use single-cell RNA sequencing, Multiplex immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. The investigators will analyze changes in the proportion of cancer cell-specific T-cell subpopulations related to treatment response before and after therapy, and seek biological markers that can predict the efficacy of immunotherapy.
详细描述
The potential biomarkers, that can be utilized to predict the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy, in tumor tissue and peripheral blood are planning to be verified in lung cancer patients and esophageal cancer patients. Tumor tissues, acquired from surgery to remove tumor, are investigated by single-cell RNA sequencing, Multiplex immunohistochemistry etc. to explore the biomarkers. In addition, immune microenvironment of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analyzed by flow cytometry and ELISPOT to quantify specific T cells groups that are correlated with efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. The changes in the proportion of specific T-cell subpopulations that can kill cancer cells will be analyzed before treatment and after treatment. The immunotherapy responses before and after therapy are planning to analyzed with the content of specific T cells. Thus the investigators will seek biological markers that can predict the efficacy of immunotherapy.

结局指标
主要结局
The changes of immune cell subsets in tumor microenvironment and peripheral blood in patients
时间窗: Within one month of completing immunotherapy
tumor antigen specific T cells measured by flow cytometry or single cell sequencing are increased after immunotherapy Single-cell sequencing and Flow cytometry are applied to detect immune cell subtypes and tumor-specific T cells in the tumor microenvironment and peripheral blood of patients with tumors who had received immunotherapy. Flow cytometric antibody used in the study to label activated T cells include CD19, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD25, CD39, CD137, CD69, Foxp3, IFN gamma et al.
次要结局
- Exploring the feasibility of tumor-specific T cells as a biomarker for predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy: the absolute amount and proportion of tumor antigen specific T cells are increased in patients that response to cancer immunotherapy(Within one month of completing immunotherapy)
