Abstract Background In cancer cells, DNA methylation may be altered in two principle ways; global DNA hypomethylation and site-specific CpG island promoter hypermethylation. Since Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1 or L1; a repetitive DNA retrotransposon) constitutes a substantial portion (approximately 17%) of the human genome, the extent of LINE-1 methylation is regarded as a surrogate marker of global DNA methylation. In previous studies, we demonstrated that LINE-1 hypomethylation was strongly associated with a poor prognosis in esophageal cancer, supporting its potential role as a prognostic marker (Ann Surg 2012). We also found that LINE-1-hypomethylated tumors showed highly frequent genomic gains at various loci containing candidate oncogenes such as CDK6 (Clin Cancer Res 2014). Given that immunotherapy, as represented by PD-1/PD-L1-targeting antibodies, has increasingly gained attention as a novel treatment strategy for esophageal cancer, better understanding of local immune response status in esophageal cancer is important. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between LINE-1 methylation level and local immune response in esophageal cancer. Methods Using a non-biased database of 305 curatively resected esophageal cancers, we evaluated PD-L1 expression and TIL status (CD8 expression) by immunohistochemical analysis (Ann Surg 2017). Results TIL positivity was significantly correlated with longer overall survival (log-rank P < 0.0001). TIL-negative cases demonstrated significantly lower LINE-1 methylation level compared with TIL-positive cases (P = 0.012). This finding certainly supports that LINE-1 methylation level may influence the local immune response status. Conclusion PD-L1 expression was not related with LINE-1 methylation level. Further investigations in this field would provide deeper insights into esophageal tumor immunology and assist the development of new therapeutic strategies against esophageal cancer.
