IL10 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Transcriptomic analysis revealed the upregulation of inflammatory, cytotoxic, chemotactic, and immunoregulatory genes, with enrichment of the chemokine, IFN-gamma, and IL-10 signaling pathways.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Spatial proximity between PD-L1(+) TAMs and CD8(+) T cells defines an immune niche characterized by coexisting immune activation and regulatory programs and is strongly associated with Atezo+Bev responsiveness in HCC.
