Purpose: Cisplatin-containing combination chemotherapy has been the standard of care since the late 1980s, but the response rate is <50%. Studies have shown that the efficiency of chemotherapy differs among molecular subtypes of bladder cancer. In this study, we aimed to correlate FOXA1, a marker for differentiation of the basal and luminal subtypes, with tumor immune cell infiltration and the effect of chemotherapy in bladder cancer. Materials and Methods: Eighty-three patients with bladder cancer treated with chemotherapy were reviewed. Clinicopathological variables for each case were recorded. FOXA1, M2 tumor-associated macrophage (TAM), dendritic cell (DC), and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) were examined by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between FOXA1, immune cell infiltration, and clinical response to chemotherapy was assessed. Results: The overall objective response rate was 34%. The objective response rate for tumors with lower FOXA1 expression was 58% and for tumors with higher FOXA1 expression was 12%. Tumors with infiltrated M2 TAM proportion <3% had a higher objective response rate compared with infiltrated M2 TAM proportion >3% tumors (46% vs. 21%, p = 0.02). Tumors with infiltrated CTL proportion >5% had a higher objective response rate compared with infiltrated CTL proportion <5% tumors (50% vs. 17%, p = 0.002). DCs showed no significant differences. We found that the objective response rate for tumors with lower FOXA1 expression, proportion <3% M2 TAM infiltration, and proportion >5% CTL infiltration is 82%. Lower FOXA1 expression was associated with low M2 TAM infiltration and high CTL infiltration. Conclusions: Thus, we showed that in patients with bladder cancer who received chemotherapy, the higher clinical response rate is associated with low FOXA1 expression, low M2 TAM infiltration, and high CTL infiltration.

Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 (CTLA-4) was first discovered in 1987 and confirmed to be a protein that is mainly expressed on the surface of activated lymphocytes. CTLA-4 is expressed on the surface of T cells and binds to B7 expressed on antigen presenting cells(APCs) to potentially play a role in inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation. Inhibitors of CTLA-4 were developed to promote the anti-tumor effects of T cells and inhibit tumor growth. CTLA-4, as an immune checkpoint, has been realized as an important therapeutic target in bladder cancer. Two main CTLA-4 inhibitors are currently used: ipilimumab is a first-generation IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets CTLA-4, and it is completely synthetic; tremelimumab, representing another class of CTLA-4 inhibitors, is a monoclonal antibody against CTLA-4 that acts similarly to ipilimumab and binds specifically to CTLA-4. The two types of CTLA-4 inhibitors were found to improve the treatment effect in patients with bladder cancer in comparison to conventional agents. To review this topic, we searched recently published related articles.
