Data sources Published articles （1978-2009） on IDO and tumor induced tolerance were selected from Medline. Study selection Articles selected were relevant to development of IDO in tumor induced tolerance. Of all originally identified articles, 50 specially addressed the stated purpose. Results Recent work has revealed IDO at high levels in tumors and in tumor-draining lymph nodes and a close relationship between IDO activity and the regulatory T cells. Conclusion Up-regulation of IDO is proven to be a mechanism of acquired tolerance in tumors, in which the closely coupled positive feedback system between IDO and reclulatorv T cells may be considered to play an important role.展开更多

All patients were randomly assigned to adjuvant treatment with or without celecoxib groups after surgery. We performed standard immunohistochemistry to assess the expression levels of IDO1/COX2 and evaluated the correlation of IDO1/COX2 with clinicopathological factors and overall survival(OS) outcomes.RESULTS The expression of nuclear IDO1 was significantly correlated with body mass index(P < 0.001), and IDO1 expression displayed no association with sex, age, tumor differentiation, T stage, N stage, carcinoembryonic antigen, cancer antigen 19-9, CD3+ and CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, and COX2. In univariate analysis, we found that nuclear IDO1(P = 0.039), nuclear/cytoplasmic IDO1 [hazard ratio(HR) = 2.044, 95% confidence interval(CI): 0.871-4.798, P = 0.039], nuclear IDO1/COX2(HR = 3.048, 95%CI: 0.868-10.7, P = 0.0049) and cytoplasmic IDO1/COX2(HR = 2.109, 95%CI: 0.976-4.558, P = 0.022) all yielded significantly poor OS outcomes. Nuclear IDO1(P = 0.041), nuclear/cytoplasmic IDO1(HR = 3.023, 95%CI: 0.585-15.61, P = 0.041) and cytoplasmic IDO1/COX2(HR = 2.740, 95%CI: 0.764-9.831, P = 0.038) have significantly poor OS outcomes for the CRC celecoxib subgroup. In our multivariate Cox model, high coexpression of cytoplasmic IDO1/COX2 was found to be an independent predictor of poor outcome in CRC(HR = 2.218, 95%CI: 1.011-4.48, P = 0.047) and celecoxib subgroup patients(HR = 3.210, 95%CI: 1.074-9.590, P = 0.037).CONCLUSION Our results showed that cytoplasmic IDO1/COX2 coexpression could be used as an independent poor predictor for OS in CRC.展开更多
