Growing evidence has suggested that CD155 participates in the regulation of many biological processes ranging cell growth, invasion, and migration from regulation of immune responses in most malignances. However, the impact of prognostic value and CD115-related immune response on the survival in multiple cancers remains incompletely clear. In our study, we assessed the prognostic significance and immune-associated mechanism of CD155 based on data from multiple databases and methods, including UCSC Xena, Oncomine, PrognoScan. We identified that CD155 was commonly upregulated in most human cancers, and High expression of CD155 was closely correlated with unfavorable clinical outcomes in 10/33 of human cancers, while CD155 at low level was responsible for better survival in KICH and PAAD. More intriguingly, CD155 expression had a significant interaction with immune function in several tumors by analyzing Tumor mutational burden and microsatellite in stability, immune score and stromal score. The correlation between immune infiltration and CD155 expression also indicated that CD155 expression positively correlated with CD4+ T cells in Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma, Lung adenocarcinoma and Colon adenocarcinoma, while had inversely interaction with CD8+ T in Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma and Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma as well as Tregs in Skin Cutaneous Melanoma, Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma and Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma. These findings indicate CD155 correlates with cancer immunotherapy function. In conclusions, our observations revealed CD155 might function as immune-associated system in the development of human cancers, and acted as a promising prognostic and therapeutic target against human cancers.
