Randomized trial analyzes T-cell distribution in colorectal adenomas and sessile serrated lesions, suggesting implications for prevention.

Key Points

This research aims to characterize T-cell densities and spatial patterns in colorectal adenomas and sessile serrated lesions to understand their immune microenvironments.
Analyzed T-cell subsets in colorectal lesions from three studies (N=120) using whole-slide multiplex immunofluorescence.
Compared T-cell densities by histology with a generalized linear mixed model, adjusting for confounders.
Conducted nearest-neighbor analyses to assess spatial patterns of T-cell pairs in lesion types.
TAs and SSLs exhibited significantly higher CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T-cell densities compared to TVs (q<0.05).
TAs displayed higher Th17 densities than TVs, whereas SSLs had a trend toward lower Treg densities (q=0.06).
NN analysis revealed greater Treg clustering in TVs, contrasted by predominant CD4⁺ clustering in TAs.
