Abstract
Background Previous epidemiological studies have reported an association of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels with reduced glioma risk, but the association between IgE and glioma prognosis is not well characterized. This study aimed to examine how sex, tumor subtype, and IgE class modulate the association of serum IgE levels with glioma risk and survival. Methods We conducted a case-control study using participants from the University of California, San Francisco Adult Glioma Study (1997-2010). Serum IgE levels for total, respiratory and food allergy were measured in adults diagnosed with glioma (n=1,696) and cancer-free controls (n=1,135) matched based on age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Logistic regression was adjusted for patient demographics to assess the association between IgE levels and glioma risk. Multivariable Cox regression adjusted for patient-specific and tumor-specific factors compared survival between the elevated and normal IgE groups. Results Elevated total IgE was associated with reduced risk of IDH wildtype (OR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.54-0.78) and IDH mutant glioma (OR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.50-0.85). In multivariable Cox regression, elevated respiratory IgE was associated with improved survival for IDH wildtype glioma (HR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.67-0.91). The reduction in mortality risk was more pronounced in females (HR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.53-0.96) than in males (HR=0.80, 95% CI: 0.66-0.97), with improvements in median survival of 6.2 months (P<.001) and 1.6 months (P=0.003), respectively. Conclusion Elevated serum IgE was associated with improved prognosis for IDH wildtype glioma, with a more pronounced protective effect in females. These results suggest a possible sexual dimorphism and antitumor activity of IgE-mediated immune responses.

Abstract
Immunotherapy failures can result from the highly suppressive tumour microenvironment that characterizes aggressive forms of cancer such as recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM)1,2. Here we report the results of a first-in-human phase I trial in 41 patients with rGBM who were injected with CAN-3110-an oncolytic herpes virus (oHSV)3. In contrast to other clinical oHSVs, CAN-3110 retains the viral neurovirulence ICP34.5 gene transcribed by a nestin promoter; nestin is overexpressed in GBM and other invasive tumours, but not in the adult brain or healthy differentiated tissue4. These modifications confer CAN-3110 with preferential tumour replication. No dose-limiting toxicities were encountered. Positive HSV1 serology was significantly associated with both improved survival and clearance of CAN-3110 from injected tumours. Survival after treatment, particularly in individuals seropositive for HSV1, was significantly associated with (1) changes in tumour/PBMC T cell counts and clonal diversity, (2) peripheral expansion/contraction of specific T cell clonotypes; and (3) tumour transcriptomic signatures of immune activation. These results provide human validation that intralesional oHSV treatment enhances anticancer immune responses even in immunosuppressive tumour microenvironments, particularly in individuals with cognate serology to the injected virus. This provides a biological rationale for use of this oncolytic modality in cancers that are otherwise unresponsive to immunotherapy (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03152318 ).

Abstract
Glioma is a highly fatal brain tumor comprised of molecular subtypes with distinct clinical trajectories. Observational studies have suggested that variability in immune response may play a role in glioma etiology. However, their findings have been inconsistent and susceptible to reverse causation due to treatment effects and the immunosuppressive nature of glioma. We applied genetic variants associated (p<5×10-8) with blood cell traits to a meta-analysis of 3418 glioma cases and 8156 controls. Genetically predicted increase in the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) was associated with an increased risk of glioma (odds ratio (OR)=1.25, p=0.005), especially in IDH-mutant (IDHmut OR=1.38, p=0.007) and IDHmut 1p/19q non-codeleted (IDHmut-noncodel OR=1.53, p=0.004) tumors. However, reduced glioma risk was observed for higher counts of lymphocytes (IDHmut-noncodel OR=0.70, p=0.004) and neutrophils (IDHmut OR=0.69, p=0.019; IDHmut-noncodel OR=0.60, p=0.009), which may reflect genetic predisposition to enhanced immune-surveillance. In contrast to susceptibility, there was no association with survival in IDHmut-noncodel; however, in IDHmut 1p/19q co-deleted tumors, we observed higher mortality with increasing genetically predicted counts of lymphocytes (hazard ratio (HR)=1.65, 95% CI: 1.24-2.20), neutrophils (HR=1.49, 1.13-1.97), and eosinophils (HR=1.59, 1.18-2.14). Polygenic scores for blood cell traits were also associated with tumor immune microenvironment features, with heterogeneity by IDH status observed for 17 signatures related to interferon signaling, PD-1 expression, and T-cell/Cytotoxic responses. In summary, we identified novel, immune-mediated susceptibility mechanisms for glioma with potential disease management implications.
