METHODS: Patients who underwent TURBT for NMIBC were assessed for study eligibility. Urine and blood samples were retrieved from study participants at baseline (immediately before 1st dose of induction) and after induction (4 hours after last 6th dose). Urine samples were evaluated for IL-2 and IL-10 by solid phase ELISA. Blood samples were evaluated for TNF-α, CTLA4 and transcription factors (TFs) (GATA3+, T-bet+ and FoxP3+) using quantitative RT-PCR analysis. Change pattern and fold change of each evaluable marker was assessed in relation to different oncological outcomes of BCG-response (Initial complete response -ICR-/Recurrence /Progression). RESULTS: Between July 2013 and May 2019, 204 patients were included. Among evaluable markers, IL-2 and TNF-α absolutely increased all patients, CTLA4 and FoxP3+ showed a predominant decrease pattern in 188 (92.2%) and 192 (94.1%) patients, respectively, while, IL-10, GATA3+ and T-bet+ did not show any predominant change pattern. ICR was achieved in 186 (91.2%) patients. TNF-α fold change, IL-10 change pattern were significantly associated with ICR (p= 0.001, 0.03, respectively). At a median (range) follow-up 37 (20-88) months, 104 (56%) patients developed recurrence. IL-10, CTLA4, T-bet+, FoxP3+ change patterns and GATA3+/ T-bet+ ratio were significantly associated with tumor recurrence (p=0.001, 0.001, 0.02, 0.009 and 0.001, respectively). Tumor progression was encountered in 34 (18.3%) patients. IL-10, CTLA4, T-bet+ change patterns and GATA3+/ T-bet+ ratio were independent predictors of tumor progression (p=0.001, 0.001, 0.02 and 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Urinary IL-10 and blood TNF-α can significantly predict ICR. Moreover, change pattern of IL-10, CTLA4, TFs (GATA3+, T-bet+ and FoxP3+) and GATA3+/T-bet+ ratio after BCG induction can independently predict further BCG-response. These markers might be implanted in clinical practice when management options are discussed or in systems with severe BCG shortage.
