Project description:The two most common antibody targeting principles in oncology are the induction of direct antitumor effects and the release of antitumor T cell immunity by immune checkpoint blockade. These two principles, however, may be overlapping if the targeted checkpoint molecule is not located on the immune cell but on the tumor cell itself. Secondary resistance by epitope escape may therefore remain a challenge in both settings. We previously reported epitope escape through L88S and truncating programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) gene mutations in colorectal cancer patients on selective pressure with avelumab, a PD-L1-directed checkpoint blocker that-in addition to T cell disinhibition-allows direct tumor cell killing via its unmodified Fc portion. Here, we confirmed this principle by liquid biopsy monitoring in a colorectal cancer patient from an independent clinical trial. In this patient, both PD-L1 L88E and L88fs mutations emerged under selective pressure with avelumab. By ectopically expressing PD-L1 L88E, we show that this mutation leads to a reduction of full-length glycosylated PD-L1 and greatly reduced avelumab surface binding. Further experiments indicated that PD-L1 L88E represents a phosphomimetic variant of PD-L1 L88S leading to loss of protein stability and increased proteasomal degradation. The association of this PD-L1 mutation with the high-affinity FCGR3A single nucleotide polymorphism rs396991 confirms prior evidence that patients harboring this polymorphism experience the strongest selective pressure by avelumab. Together, position 88 of PD-L1 is a hotspot residue critically regulating PD-L1 cell surface expression with clinical significance in the context of immune checkpoint blockade.

Project description:Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors worldwide. Immunological checkpoint inhibitors of the programmed death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) signaling pathway are effective in the treatment of various malignant tumor types, but the potential of such immunotherapeutic techniques for the treatment of gastric cancer is yet to be elucidated. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the methylation of the PD-L1 gene promoter and its clinical significance in advanced gastric cancer, as this may suggest the use of PD-L1 promoter methylation as a novel biomarker for gastric cancer progression. In a total of 70 samples, the methylation rate of the PD-L1 gene promoter region was significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues compared with adjacent tissues. A high level of PD-L1 promoter methylation was associated with lymph node staging, and resulted in poorer prognoses in patients with advanced gastric cancer. A total of 26 patients exhibited highly methylated PD-L1; in this group, the median progression-free survival time of patients receiving platinum/fluorouracil chemotherapy was 4.2 months longer than those receiving paclitaxel/fluorouracil chemotherapy, and the risk of disease progression in patients receiving paclitaxel/fluorouracil chemotherapy was 5.009 times higher compared with patients who received platinum/fluorouracil chemotherapy. Additionally, PD-L1 promoter methylation was significantly correlated with PD-L1 expression, and the progression of advanced gastric cancer. In conclusion, high methylation levels of the PD-L1 promoter region may be a faciliatory mechanism enabling gastric cancer tumorigenesis, and may also represent an independent prognostic factor for chemotherapeutic efficacy in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade therapeutics, notably antibodies targeting the programmed death 1 (PD-1) receptor and its PD-L1 and PD-L2 ligands, are currently revolutionizing the treatment of cancer. For a sizeable fraction of patients with melanoma, lung, kidney and several other solid cancers, monoclonal antibodies that neutralize the interactions of the PD-1/PD-L1 complex allow the reconstitution of long-lasting antitumor immunity. In hematological malignancies this novel therapeutic strategy is far less documented, although promising clinical responses have been seen in refractory and relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma patients. This review describes our current knowledge of PD-1 and PD-L1 expression, as reported by immunohistochemical staining in both non-Hodgkin lymphoma cells and their surrounding immune cells. Here, we discuss the multiple intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms by which both T and B cell lymphomas up-regulate the PD-1/PD-L1 axis, and review current knowledge about the prognostic significance of its immunohistochemical detection. This body of literature establishes the cell surface expression of PD-1/PD-L1 as a critical determinant for the identification of non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients eligible for immune checkpoint blockade therapies.

Project description:Even with the advance of diagnosis and the treatment, the 5-year survival rate for esophageal cancer patients is still poor. The checkpoint protein inhibition provides another choice to improve the survival. The expression of the programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) was reported but the clinical relevance remained inconsistent in esophageal cancer. Besides, there were few references about the other ligand, programed death ligand-2 (PD-L2). In this study, we evaluated the expressions of PD-L1 and PD-L2 in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and assessed their clinical relevance.From 1996 to 2011, 150 patients undergone complete surgical resection for ESCC were enrolled. Clinical data were recorded. Expression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 on cytoplasm in paraffin embedded tumor samples were analyzed by immunohistochemistry staining and scored with a semi-quantitative method.Of the patients, 96 (64.0%) patients had PD-L1 overexpression and 63 (42.0%) had PD-L2 overexpression. There was a correlation between the expression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 (P<0.001). Patients without overexpression of PD-L1, pathological T1-2 and N0 status, pathological stage I-II and no post-operative adjuvant treatment had a better disease free survival (DFS). In multivariate analysis, PD-L1 expression and pathological stage were the independent prognostic factors for DFS. The expression of PD-L2 did not influence the DFS. Although not statistically significant, patients without overexpression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 seem to have a better overall survival (OS).The overexpression of PD-L1 on cytoplasm, not PD-L2, is an independent prognostic factor for DFS in patients with ESCC undergone esophagectomy. However, there is a trend which suggested that patients without overexpression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 had a better OS.

Project description:Anti-PD-1 therapy yields objective clinical responses in 30-40% of advanced melanoma patients. Since most patients do not respond, predictive biomarkers to guide treatment selection are needed. We hypothesize that MHC-I/II expression is required for tumour antigen presentation and may predict anti-PD-1 therapy response. In this study, across 60 melanoma cell lines, we find bimodal expression patterns of MHC-II, while MHC-I expression was ubiquitous. A unique subset of melanomas are capable of expressing MHC-II under basal or IFNγ-stimulated conditions. Using pathway analysis, we show that MHC-II(+) cell lines demonstrate signatures of 'PD-1 signalling', 'allograft rejection' and 'T-cell receptor signalling', among others. In two independent cohorts of anti-PD-1-treated melanoma patients, MHC-II positivity on tumour cells is associated with therapeutic response, progression-free and overall survival, as well as CD4(+) and CD8(+) tumour infiltrate. MHC-II(+) tumours can be identified by melanoma-specific immunohistochemistry using commercially available antibodies for HLA-DR to improve anti-PD-1 patient selection.

Project description:We have seen a notable increase in the application of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors for the treatment of several solid and hematogenous malignancies including metastatic melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer and lymphoma to name a few. The need for biomarkers for identification of a suitable patient population for this type of therapy is now pressing. While specific biomarker assays have been developed for these checkpoint inhibitors based on their respective epitopes, the available studies suggested the clinical utility of these biomarker assays is for response stratification and not patient selection. Further improvement in assay development is needed to utilize this type of assay in identification of ideal patient population for this therapy.

Project description:IntroductionThere are currently three first-line immunotherapy options used as monotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with high programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression (≥50%). This manuscript aims to evaluate the available data on atezolizumab (AT), cemiplimab (CEMI), and pembrolizumab (PEMBRO) and to study the results obtained during pivotal trials, especially regarding patient subgroups.MethodsNominal group and Delphi techniques were used. Eight Spanish experts in lung cancer (the scientific committee of the project) analyzed the use of immunotherapy monotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with NSCLC and high PD-L1 expression. The expert scientific committee formulated several statements based on a scientific review and their own clinical experience. Subsequently, 17 additional Spanish lung cancer experts were selected to appraise the committee's statements through two Delphi rounds. They completed a Delphi round via an online platform and voted according to a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 10 (strongly agree). The statements were approved if ≥70% of experts voted 7 or more.ResultsA total of 20 statements were proposed covering the following areas: (1) general characteristics of pivotal clinical trials; (2) overall main outcomes of pivotal clinical trials; and (3) subgroup analysis. All statements reached consensus in the first round.ConclusionsAT, CEMI, and PEMBRO as monotherapy can be considered the standard of care in patients with advanced NSCLC and high PD-L1 expression (≥50%). Moreover, some differences noted among the drugs analyzed in this document might facilitate treatment decision-making, especially in clinically relevant patient subgroups, when using PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. The high level of agreement reached among experts supports the proposed statements.

Project description:The accumulation of senescent cells promotes ageing and age-related diseases, but molecular mechanisms that senescent cells use to evade immune clearance and accumulate in tissues remain to be elucidated. Here we report that p16-positive senescent cells upregulate the immune checkpoint protein programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) to accumulate in ageing and chronic inflammation. We show that p16-mediated inhibition of cell cycle kinases CDK4/6 induces PD-L1 stability in senescent cells via downregulation of its ubiquitin-dependent degradation. p16-expressing senescent alveolar macrophages elevate PD-L1 to promote an immunosuppressive environment that can contribute to an increased burden of senescent cells. Treatment with activating anti-PD-L1 antibodies engaging Fcγ receptors on effector cells leads to the elimination of PD-L1 and p16-positive cells. Our study uncovers a molecular mechanism of p16-dependent regulation of PD-L1 protein stability in senescent cells and reveals the potential of targeting PD-L1 to improve immunosurveillance of senescent cells and ameliorate senescence-associated inflammation.

Project description:Cancer immunotherapies have revolutionized the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Yet, only a small subset of patients will benefit from PD-1 or PD-L1 blockade. PD-L1 tumor cell expression is the only approved biomarker at present. Tumor mutational burden and other emerging biomarkers should improve patient selection. Combination therapy approaches with chemotherapy or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 blockade may increase the proportion of patients who benefit from immunotherapy. Although use of immunotherapy in lung cancers with targetable oncogenes has not been particularly successful, the benefit of PD-(L)1 inhibitors in early-stage disease is emerging. This review briefly describes the evolution of the clinical development and future directions of PD-(L)1 blockade in patients with lung cancers.
