Factors associated with TIL density in ovarian cancer.

T-cell inflamed Intermediate T-cell inflamed Non–T-cell inflamed
  • IFN response (IRF-1, CXCL-9, -10, −11)

  • Chemokine receptors (CXCR3)

  • Ag processing/presentation (β2 microglobulin, TAP transporters, MHC-I and II, CD74)

  • TCR signalling (CD3D)

  • Inflammation (IL-15, IL-32, IL-6R, VAV1, complement)

  • Cytotoxicity (Granzyme B and TNFSF10)

  • CT Ags (ZNF165, CEP55, ATAD2, MAGEA3, CTAGE5, TTK, PBK, PRAME, CXorf48)

  • BRCA1-disruption

  • High hypoxia

  • Myofibroblasts

  • Vascular endothelial cells

  • Pericytes

  • Extracellular matrix genes

  • •Angiogenesis genes (VEGF)

  • WNT/β-catenin signalling

  • Cell cycle genes,

  • Extracellular matrix genes

  • Low expression of immune cell genes (MHC-I and II), mucins (MUC-1, -16), kallikreins

  • Low E-cadherin

  • CXCR6

  • •Angiogenesis genes (VEGF, ETBR, ET-1)

IRF-1, IFN regulatory factor 1; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; BRCA, breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility protein; MAGE-A3, melanoma-associated antigen 3; IFN, interferon; MHC, major histocompatibility complex; ETBR, endothelin-B receptor.
