摘要

Background: Turning the “cold” tumor immune microenvironment into “hot” is a critical issue in cancer treatment today. Hormone receptor-rich breast cancer (HR+ BC) was previously considered immunologically quiescent. Objective: This study aims to explore the immunomodulatory effects of endocrine therapy on HR+ BCs. Methods: The infiltrations and alterations of the tumor immune microenvironment in HR+ BCs before, after 10-14 days, and after three months of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy were computationally analyzed according to MCP-counter, CIBERSORT, xCell algorithms, and gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA). The primary microarray data were obtained from three HR+ BC gene expression datasets (GSE20181, GSE55374, and GSE59515). Single-sample GSEA of hallmark and immune response gene sets was performed to evaluate the correlation between suspected treatment response and activated immune pathways in tumors. Results: Both immune and stromal cells were specifically recruited into the HR+ BCs who responded to the neoadjuvant endocrine therapy by letrozole. Besides the enhanced infiltrations of immunosurveillance-related cells such as CD8+ T cells, dendritic cells, and the activation of immune response-related signals, the immunosuppressive M2-like macrophages, as well as the expression of immune checkpoint genes like PDCD1, SIRPA, and some HLA genes, were also stimulated in responders. We identified four pretreatment indicators (the intrinsic luminal subtype, the estrogen response early/late pathway, and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition pathway) as potential predictors of both clinical response and the activation of the tumor immune microenvironment post letrozole. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy showed a promising way to convert the immunologically “cold” HR+ BCs into “hot” tumors. This study provides new insights into the application of immunotherapy for HR+ BCs, especially those who respond to endocrine therapy.
