Tumoral immune-infiltrate (IF), PD-L1 expression and role of CD8/TIA-1 lymphocytes in localized osteosarcoma patients treated within protocol ISG-OS1.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We hypothesized that immune-infiltrates were associated with superior survival, and examined a primary osteosarcoma tissue microarrays (TMAs) to test this hypothesis.

Methods

129 patients (pts) with localized osteosarcoma treated within protocol ISG-OS1 were included in the study. Clinical characteristics, expression of CD8, CD3, FOXP3, CD20, CD68/CD163 (tumor associated macrophage, TAM), Tia-1 (cytotoxic T cell), CD303 (plasmacytoid dendritic cells: pDC), Arginase-1 (myeloid derived suppressor cells: MDSC), PD-1 on immune-cells (IC), and PD-L1 on tumoral cells (TC) and IC were analysed and correlated with outcome.

Results

Most of the cases presented tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) (CD3+ 90%; CD8+ 86%). Tia-1 was detected in 73% of the samples. PD-L1 expression was found in 14% patients in IC and 0% in TC; 22% showed PD-1 expression in IC.With a median follow-up of 8 years (range 1-13), the 5-year overall survival (5-year OS) was 74% (95% CI 64-85). Univariate analysis showed better 5-year OS for: a) pts with a good histologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.0001); b) pts with CD8/Tia1 tumoral infiltrates (p = 0.002); c) pts with normal alkaline phosphatas (sALP) (p = 0.04). After multivariate analysis, histologic response (p = 0.007) and CD8/Tia1 infiltration (p = 0.01) were independently correlated with survival. In the subset of pts with CD8+ infiltrate, worse (p 0.02) OS was observed for PD-L1(IC)+ cases.

Conclusions

Our findings support the hypothesis that CD8/Tia1 infiltrate in tumor microenvironment at diagnosis confers superior survival for pts with localized osteosarcoma, while PD-L1 expression is associated with worse survival.

Project description:BackgroundInterferon (IFN) consensus sequence binding protein (ICSBP) is a transcription factor induced by IFN-γ. We previously reported that ICSBP expression promotes osteosarcoma progression by enhancing transforming growth factor-β signaling. In cancer cells, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) contributes to immune escape and may also be involved in tumor progression. Because IFN-γ induces the expression of both ICSBP and PD-L1, we explored the association between ICSBP and PD-L1 expression in terms of osteosarcoma progression.MethodsThree osteosarcoma cell lines (Saos2, U2OS, and 143B) were employed. Gene expression was measured by qRT-PCR, and protein levels were assessed by immunoblotting. PD-L1 expression was evaluated in cells overexpressing ICSBP and in ICSBP knockdown cells. The effects of PD-L1 expression on cell growth were examined by MTS assays, Incucyte analysis, soft agar assays, and three-dimensional (3D) culture. Cell cycle and apoptosis were evaluated by FACS analysis of cells stained with propidium iodide (PI) and annexin V/PI, respectively. The antitumor effects of PD-L1 knockdown without or with doxorubicin treatment were evaluated in vivo in nude mice bearing ICSBP-overexpressing 143B cell xenograft. The clinical relevance of PD-L1 and ICSBP expression was evaluated immunohistochemically using a human osteosarcoma microarray and through analysis of publicly available data using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis2.ResultsICSBP overexpression upregulated PD-L1 expression in all three cell lines, whereas ICSBP knockdown decreased the PD-L1 expression. PD-L1 knockdown attenuated the cell growth and reduced colony-forming capacity in both soft agar assays and 3D culture. PD-L1 knockdown increased apoptosis and induced G2/M arrest, which was associated with decreased expression of survivin, cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), cyclin E, and cyclin D1 expression and increased the expression of p27, phosphorylated Cdc2, and phosphorylated Wee1. PD-L1 knockdown decreased the growth of tumor xenografts and increased the doxorubicin sensitivity of ICSBP-overexpressing 143B cells both in vitro and in vivo. PD-L1 was expressed in human osteosarcoma tissues, and its expression was moderately correlated with that of ICSBP in osteosarcoma patients.ConclusionICSBP regulates PD-L1 expression in osteosarcoma cells, and PD-L1 knockdown combined with doxorubicin treatment could represent a strategy for controlling osteosarcoma expressing ICSBP.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Brain metastases (Bmets) are frequent; however, limited data exist on the efficacy of immunotherapy in these lesions. The aims of the study were to analyze the immunohistochemical expressions of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and CD8 in Bmets and to compare them with their expressions in paired primary tumors, as well as correlate the results with clinicopathological features. METHODS:This is a retrospective study of 233 patients with Bmets and 111 paired primaries. Clinical, histological, and molecular data were recorded and compared with the immunohistochemical results of PD-L1 and CD8 expressions. The statistical analysis included ?2 test, Cramer's V test, factorial analyses of variance, simple regression analysis, and Kaplan-Meier analysis with log-rank product limit estimation. RESULTS:PD-L1 expression was found in 23.6% of Bmets and in 29.0% of primary tumors with concordant expression between them in 75.5% of cases. Bmets PD-L1 expression was associated with primary tumor PD-L1 expression and the primary tumor type. Significant CD8 peritumoral expression was found in 68.6% of Bmets and in 87.7% of primary tumors. CD8 expression was concordant between primary and metastatic tumors in 73.3% of cases. Bmets CD8 expression was associated with primary tumor CD8 expression and primary tumor type. PD-L1 expression was associated with CD8 expression in both primary and metastatic tumors. The concordance between primary and metastatic tumor PD-L1 expression was independent of all factors studied. The concordance between primary and metastatic CD8 expressions was marginally associated to the time of Bmets development. No prognostic role for PD-L1 and CD8 expression in Bmets was found. CONCLUSION:PD-L1 and CD8 Bmets expressions are associated with the primary tumor type and its PD-L1 and CD8 expressions. No factor predicts the discordance for PD-L1 expression, while time to Bmets development is associated with CD8 expression discordance.
