Abstract: (268 Views)
Background: Stem-like CD8+ T cells, marked by TCF1 and PD-1, possess self-renewal and effector differentiation abilities, crucial for cancer immunotherapy. Despite tumor microenvironment constraints, their abundance often correlates with favourable outcomes.
Aim: To assess the prognostic and predictive relevance of stem-like CD8+ T cells in patients receiving immunotherapy for cancer.
Methodology: 721 publications from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science (2015–2025) were evaluated in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. 8 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Two independent reviewers conducted data extraction. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using RevMan software, and the I2 statistic was employed to measure heterogeneity. The ROBINS-I instruments and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale were used to assess the quality of the study.
Results: 8 of the 13 included papers qualified for meta-analysis. Follow-up periods varied from six months to five years, and sample sizes ranged from 12 to 94 patients. Multiplex immunofluorescence, scRNA-seq, or flow cytometry were used to quantify stem-like CD8+ T cells. Hazard ratios (HRs) in the woodland plot ranged from 1.18 to 28.50. High HRs of 4.31 (95% CI: 2.68–6.92) and 28.50 (95% CI: 3.30–246.15) were observed in two investigations, suggesting a significant adverse prognostic effect. With considerable heterogeneity (I2 = 89%, Chi2 = 61.38, P < 0.00001), the pooled HR was 1.34 (95% CI: 1.22–1.47).
Conclusion: In cancer immunotherapy, stem-like CD8+ T cells serve as both therapeutic targets and significant prognostic indicators. Standardized methods for evaluation and strategies to lessen immunosuppressive effects in the tumor microenvironment are necessary for clinical use.
