Comprehensive Analysis of Fibroblast Activation Protein Expression Across 23 Tumor Indications: Insights for Biomarker Development in Cancer Immunotherapies
FRONTIERS IN IMMUNOLOGY(2024)
摘要
IntroductionFibroblast activation protein (FAP) is predominantly upregulated in various tumor microenvironments and scarcely expressed in normal tissues.MethodsWe analyzed FAP across 1216 tissue samples covering 23 tumor types and 70 subtypes.ResultsElevated FAP levels were notable in breast, pancreatic, esophageal, and lung cancers. Using immunohistochemistry and RNAseq, a correlation between FAP gene and protein expression was found. Evaluating FAP’s clinical significance, we assessed 29 cohorts from 12 clinical trials, including both mono and combination therapies with the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab and chemotherapy. A trend links higher FAP expression to poorer prognosis, particularly in RCC, across both treatment arms. However, four cohorts showed improved survival with high FAP, while in four others, FAP had no apparent survival impact.ConclusionsOur results emphasize FAP’s multifaceted role in therapy response, suggesting its potential as a cancer immunotherapy biomarker.
