Gene Expression Profiling of human T cells: Combination Therapy with Antiâ??CTLA-4 and Antiâ??PD-1 Leads to Distinct Immunologic Changes In Vivo

ABSTRACT: Transcriptome analysis of human peripheral blood T cells Combination therapy concurrently targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4 immune checkpoints leads to remarkable antitumor effects. Although both PD-1 and CTLA-4 dampen the T cell activation, the in vivo effects of these drugs in humans remain to be clearly defined. To better understand biologic effects of therapy, we analyzed blood/tumor tissue from patients undergoing single or combination immune checkpoint blockade. We show that blockade of CTLA-4, PD-1, or combination of the two leads to distinct genomic (changes in gene-expression profile) andfunctional signatures in vivo in purified human T cells. RNA extracted from freshly isolated T cells from peripheral blood of patients treated with either antiâ??PD-1 (n = 6), antiâ??CTLA-4 (n = 5), Comb
