BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
CD38 belongs to the ribosyl cyclase family and is expressed on various hematological cells and involved in immunosuppression and tumor promotion. Although targeting CD38 antibodies has been approved for treatment of multiple myeloma, the function of CD38 in solid tumor, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)
METHODS METHODS
This retrospective study included 92 OSCC samples and analyzed the spatial distribution of CD38 by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The values of diagnosis and prognosis of CD38 were evaluated. Additionally, 53 OSCC preoperative peripheral blood samples were used to be analyzed by flow cytometry. Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) and cBioPortal databases were used to study CD38 level in various tumors and its correlation with tumor immune microenvironment in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
RESULTS RESULTS
CD38 ubiquitously presented in tumor cells (TCs), fibroblast-like cells (FLCs), and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Patients with highly expressed CD38 in TCs (CD38
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
CD38 is a poor prognostic biomarker for OSCC patients and plays a vital role in governing immune microenvironment and circulating lymphocyte homeostasis. Co-expression between CD38 and immune checkpoint molecules provides new insight into immune checkpoint therapy.
