  • Programmed Death–Ligand 1 and Vimentin: A Tandem Marker as Prognostic Factor in NSCLC
    Cancers, 2019
    Co-Authors: Julien Ancel, Philippe Birembaut, Maxime Dewolf, Anne Durlach, B Nawrocki-raby, Véronique Dalstein, Gonzague Delepine, Silvia Blacher, Gaetan Deslee, Christine Gilles
    Abstract:

    In non-metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), outcomes remain poor. Adjuvant chemotherapies provide a limited improvement in disease-free survival. Recent exploratory studies on early-stage NSCLC show that immunotherapy given according to Programmed Death-Ligand 1 expression generates variable results, emphasizing a need to improve tumor characterization. We aimed to conjointly assess NSCLC, the expression of PD-L1, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, frequently involved in tumor aggressiveness. 188 resected NSCLCs were analyzed. Among 188 patients with curatively resected NSCLC, 127 adenocarcinomas and 61 squamous cell carcinomas were stained for PD-L1 and vimentin expression. Overall survival has been compared regarding PD-L1 and vimentin statuses both separately and conjointly in Tumor Cancer Genome Atlas databases. PD-L1 and vimentin higher expressions were strongly associated (OR = 4.682, p < 0.0001). This co-expression occurred preferentially in tumors with lymph node invasion (p = 0.033). PD-L1 was significantly associated with high EMT features. NSCLC harboring both PD-L1 high /vimentin high expressions were significantly associated with poor overall survival (p = 0.019). A higher co-expression of vimentin and PD-L1 was able to identify patients with worse outcomes. Similar to an important prognostic marker in NSCLC, this tandem marker needs to be further presented to anti-PD-L1 immunotherapies to improve outcome.

  • Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Expression in Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma.
    European urology focus, 2016
    Co-Authors: Stephanie L Skala, Tzu-ying Liu, Aaron M Udager, Alon Z Weizer, Jeffrey S Montgomery, Ganesh S Palapattu, Javed Siddiqui, Xuhong Cao, Kristina Fields, Ahmed E Abugharib
    Abstract:

    Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the most common malignancy of the urinary tract. Upper tract (renal pelvis and ureter) urothelial carcinomas (UTUC) account for approximately 5% of UCs but a significant subset are invasive and associated with poor clinical outcomes. To evaluate Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in UTUC. UTUC cases from 1997-2016 were retrospectively identified from the surgical pathology database at a single large academic institution. The cohort included 149 cases: 27 low-grade and 24 high-grade pathologic T (pT)a, 29 pT1, 23 pT2, 38 pT3, and eight pT4. PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on representative whole tumor sections using anti-PD-L1 primary antibody clone 5H1. PD-L1 expression was evaluated using a previously established cut-off for positivity (≥ 5% membranous staining). Association between PD-L1 IHC expression and clinicopathologic parameters was examined with Fisher's exact test; the effect of PD-L1 expression on cancer-specific mortality was assessed using the Cox proportional hazard model. Approximately one-third (32.7%) of invasive primary UTUC and 23.5% of all primary UTUC (invasive and noninvasive tumors) demonstrated positive PD-L1 expression. Positive PD-L1 expression was associated with high histologic grade, high pathologic stage, and angiolymphatic invasion. Cancer-specific survival was not significantly associated with positive PD-L1 expression using a 5% cut-off. Study limitations include the retrospective nature and the fact that PD-L1 expression by IHC is an imperfect surrogate for response to therapy. Positive PD-L1 expression in approximately one-third of primary invasive UTUC and association with high-risk clinicopathologic features provide a rational basis for further investigation of PD-L1-based immunotherapeutics in these patients. Upper tract urothelial carcinoma is often associated with poor clinical outcome. While current treatment options for advanced upper tract urothelial carcinoma are limited, Programmed Death-Ligand 1 positivity in approximately one-third of invasive tumors provides a rational basis for further investigation of Programmed Death-Ligand 1-based immunotherapeutics in these patients.

Conclusions Positive PD-L1 expression in approximately one-third of primary invasive UTUC and association with high-risk clinicopathologic features provide a rational basis for further investigation of PD-L1-based immunotherapeutics in these patients. Patient summary Upper tract urothelial carcinoma is often associated with poor clinical outcome. While current treatment options for advanced upper tract urothelial carcinoma are limited, Programmed Death-Ligand 1 positivity in approximately one-third of invasive tumors provides a rational basis for further investigation of Programmed Death-Ligand 1-based immunotherapeutics in these patients.
