OBJECTIVE: Investigating T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (TIM-3), Galectin 9 (Gal-9), CD160 expression and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and correlation with clinicopathological characteristics of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC).
METHODS: Sixty cases of SACC were detected by immunohistochemical staining to evaluate TIM-3, Gal-9, and CD160 expression and analyze the correlation between TIM-3, Gal-9, CD160 expression and clinicopathologic features by rank-sum test. The association of TILs with TIM-3, Gal-9, and CD160 expression in SACC stromal was done by Chi-square test.
RESULTS: TIM-3 and CD160 overexpression were correlated with recurrence of SACC (p = 0.029, p = 0.007, respectively). High Gal-9 expression was correlated with pathological classification (p = 0.018). The average percentage of TILs was 18.2% in SACC and most of TILs were more likely to occur in minor salivary glands (p = 0.038). Pairwise positive correlations were observed between the expression of TIM-3, Gal-9, and CD160 in tumor cells as well as in TILs, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Low density of TILs was characteristic of the SACC microenvironment, with upregulation of TIM-3, Gal-9, and CD160 all occurring. However, TIM-3, Gal-9, and CD160 expression in the stromal dependent on the number of TILs represent potential therapeutic targets in SACC.
