Prognostic impact of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in cancer cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in ovarian high grade serous carcinoma

Abstract: AimsAntibodies targeting the checkpoint molecules programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 are emerging cancer therapeutics. We systematically investigated PD-1 and PD-L1 expression patterns in the poor-prognosis tumor entity high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma.MethodsPD-1 and PD-L1 protein expression was determined by immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays from 215 primary cancers both in cancer cells and in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). mRNA expression was measured by quantitative rev… Show more

“…It is in line with a recent report, showing that PD-1 þ T infiltrating lymphocytes and PD-L1 þ tumor cells were both favorable prognostic factors in ovarian cancer (41). The inverse function of the immune checkpoint molecules in controlling the T-cell activation in other types of cancers was also suggested by several other independent studies (42)(43)(44).…”

“…demonstrated PD-1 to be an independent prognostic factor for both OS and disease-free survival in patients with MSS tumours. 17 Moreover, PD-1 expression has been demonstrated to carry an independent favourable impact in gastric, 47 ovarian, 48 and head and neck cancer, 49 among others. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the prognostic impact of PD-1 expression in CRC, particularly regarding PTL.…”

“…Challenges exist including appropriate trial design, patient selection, dose determination, and complex pharmacokinetics (11). Several potential biomarkers have emerged including programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) or PD-1 expression (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Although PD-L1 expression has been linked to poor prognoses and better therapeutic responses, its true predictive value is still unknown.…”
