Purpose Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is associated with poor prognosis. Recently, signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRP alpha), which is the immune checkpoint of macrophages, and T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif domains (TIGIT), which is the immune checkpoint of T cells and natural killer cells, have been considered as potential targets for cancer immunotherapy. This study aimed to assess the value of SIRP alpha and TIGIT as prognostic factors of UPS.Materials and methods The cBio Cancer Genomics Portal was used to analyze mRNA expression data of 50 UPS cases in the Cancer Genome Atlas. We retrieved 49 UPS cases and performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), SIRP alpha, CD68, CD163, TIGIT, CD155, and CD8.Results SIRP alpha was positively associated with CD163 (Pearson's r = 0.51, p = 0 .0002) as per open access data and IHC of the cohort (p = 0.002), which revealed that SIRP alpha-positive macrophage infiltration was higher in UPS cells with >= 1% PD-L1 expression than that in UPS cells with
