CMTM6: A Critical Prognostic Indicator in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
Journal of Cancer 2024
While CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 6 (CMTM6)'s role in stabilizing PD-L1 and immune evasion within tumors is established, its expression in lung cancer tissue and adjacent macrophages remains uncertain. The study aimed to elucidate this ambiguity by investigating CMTM6's role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) prognosis. Employing immunohistochemical staining on 141 NSCLC and 110 adjacent normal lung tissue samples, CMTM6 expression was evaluated using the HSCORE system. Interestingly, NSCLC exhibited significantly higher CMTM6 levels (161.04±86.60) compared to normal tissues (71.20±45.10) ( p < 0.001), detected not only in cancer cells but also in macrophages, lymphocytes, and nearby bronchial epithelial cells. Stratifying patients by CMTM6 levels unveiled a correlation between heightened expression and poorer overall survival ( p = 0.003), alongside a link to tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) ( p = 0.037), especially in cases with increased TIL. Multivariate analysis identified CMTM6 as an independent predictor of overall survival ( p = 0.009), implying that elevated CMTM6 expression in NSCLC might signify an adverse prognostic marker for patient outcomes.
