摘要

The study investigates the correlation between CD3 T-cell expression levels and cervical cancer (CC) while developing a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-based radiomics model for preoperative prediction of CD3 T-cell expression levels. Prognostic correlations between CD3D, CD3E, and CD3G gene expressions and various cancers were analyzed using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis via the STRING database identified associations between these genes and T lymphocyte activity. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed immune pathway enrichment by categorizing genes based on CD3D expression levels. Correlations between immune checkpoint molecules and CD3 complex genes were also assessed. The study retrospectively included 202 patients with pathologically confirmed early-stage CC who underwent preoperative MRI, divided into training and test groups. Radiomic features were extracted from the whole-lesion tumor region of interest (ROItumor) and from peritumoral regions with 3 mm and 5 mm margins (ROI3mm and ROI5mm, respectively). Various machine learning algorithms, including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, Random Forest, AdaBoost, and Decision Tree, were used to construct radiomics models based on different ROIs, and diagnostic performances were compared to identify the optimal approach. The best-performing algorithm was combined with intra- and peritumoral features and clinically relevant independent risk factors to develop a comprehensive predictive model. Analysis of the TCGA database demonstrated significant associations between CD3D, CD3E, and CD3G expressions and several cancers, including CC (p < 0.05). PPI analysis highlighted connections between these genes and T lymphocyte function, while GSEA indicated enrichment of immune-related pathways linked to CD3D. Immune checkpoint correlations showed positive associations with CD3 complex genes. Radiomics analysis selected 18 features from ROItumor and ROI3mm across MRI sequences. The SVM algorithm achieved the highest predictive performance for CD3 T-cell expression status, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.93 in the training group and 0.92 in the test group. This MR-based radiomics model effectively predicts CD3 expression status in patients with early-stage CC, offering a non-invasive tool for preoperative assessment of CD3 expression, but its clinical utility needs further prospective validation.
