dc.description.abstractProteolytic activity and inflammation in the tumour microenvironment affects cancer progression. In colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases it has been observed that three different immune profiles are present, as well as proteolytic activity, determined by the expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPAR).The main objectives of this study were to investigate uPAR expression and the density of macrophages (CD68) and T cells (CD3) as markers of inflammation in resected CRC liver metastases, where patients were neo-adjuvantly treated with chemotherapy with or without the angiogenesis inhibitor bevacizumab. Chemonaive patients served as a control group. The markers were correlated to growth patterns (GP) of liver metastases, i.e. desmoplastic, pushing and replacement GP. It was hypothesised that differences in proteolysis and inflammation could reflect tumour specific growth and therapy related changes in the tumour microenvironment. In chemonaive patients, a significantly higher level of uPAR was observed in desmoplastic liver metastases in comparison to pushing GP (p = 0.01) or replacement GP (p = 0.03). A significantly higher density of CD68 was observed in liver metastases with replacement GP in comparison to those with pushing GP (p = 0.01). In liver metastases from chemo treated patients, CD68 density was significantly higher in desmoplastic GP in comparison to pushing GP (p = 0.03). In chemo and bevacizumab treated patients only a significant lower CD3 expression was observed in liver metastases with a mixed GP than in those with desmoplastic (p = 0.01) or pushing GP (p = 0.05). Expression of uPAR and the density of macrophages at the tumour margin of liver metastasis differ between GP in the untreated patients. A higher density of T cells was observed in the bevacizumab treated patients, when desmoplastic and pushing metastases were compared to liver metastases with a mix of the GP respectively, however no specific correlations between the immune markers of macrophages and T cells or GP of liver metastases could be demonstrated.es_ES
