Polymorphisms of co-inhibitory molecules (CTLA-4/PD-1/PD-L1) and the risk of non-small cell lung cancer in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death in China, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprises the most common form. Co-inhibitory molecules, such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), programmed death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1, play a key roles in the physiopathological process of tumorigenesis. To investigate whether genetic variations of co-inhibitory molecules are associated with the risk of NSCLC, we analyzed polymorphisms of CTLA-4 (-318, +49), PD-1 (PD-1.1, PD-1.3, PD-1.5, PD-1.9) and PD-L1 (+8293) in a cohort of 528 NSCLC subjects and 600 healthy controls. By restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method, we found that the distributions of the CTLA-4 and PD-1 gene polymorphisms were similar between NSCLC patients and healthy controls. However, for the PD-L1 8923 A/C polymorphism, frequencies of the AC genotype and C-allele were significantly higher in NSCLC patients than in healthy controls (odds ratio [OR] =1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13-2.13; P=0.006; OR=1.52; 95% CI 1.14-2.04; P=0.004, respectively). Stratification analysis revealed that prevalence of the 8923C allele was significantly increased in NSCLC patients who smoke compared to those non-smoking patients (OR=1.51; 95% CI 1.00-2.28; P<0.05). Moreover, NSCLC patients carrying the C-allele had higher risk of regional lymph node metastasis than those carrying the A-allele (OR=5.65; 95% CI 2.45~13.03; P<0.001). These data suggest that PD-L1+8293A>C polymorphism may play a role in the development and progression of NSCLC.

Project description:Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is highly invasive and carries high mortality due to limited therapeutic strategies. In other solid tumors, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) target cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death 1 (PD1), and the PD1 ligand PD-L1 has revolutionized treatment and improved outcomes. However, the relationship and clinical significance of CTLA-4 and PD-L1 expression in ICC remains to be addressed. Deciphering CTLA-4 and PD-L1 interactions in ICC enable targeted therapy for this disease. In this study, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect and quantify CTLA-4, forkhead box protein P3 (FOXP3), and PD-L1 in samples from 290 patients with ICC. The prognostic capabilities of CTLA-4, FOXP3, and PD-L1 expression in ICC were investigated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Independent risk factors related to ICC survival and recurrence were assessed by the Cox proportional hazards models. Here, we identified that CTLA-4+ lymphocyte density was elevated in ICC tumors compared with peritumoral hepatic tissues (P <.001), and patients with a high density of CTLA-4+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILsCTLA-4 High) showed a reduced overall survival (OS) rate and increased cumulative recurrence rate compared with patients with TILsCTLA-4 Low (P <.001 and P = .024, respectively). Similarly, patients with high FOXP3+ TILs (TILsFOXP3 High) had poorer prognoses than patients with low FOXP3+ TILs (P = .021, P = .034, respectively), and the density of CTLA-4+ TILs was positively correlated with FOXP3+ TILs (Pearson r = .31, P <.001). Furthermore, patients with high PD-L1 expression in tumors (TumorPD-L1 High) and/or TILsCTLA-4 High presented worse OS and a higher recurrence rate than patients with TILsCTLA-4 LowTumorPD-L1 Low. Moreover, multiple tumors, lymph node metastasis, and high TumorPD-L1/TILsCTLA-4 were independent risk factors of cumulative recurrence and OS for patients after ICC tumor resection. Furthermore, among ICC patients, those with hepatolithiasis had a higher expression of CTLA-4 and worse OS compared with patients with HBV infection or undefined risk factors (P = .018). In conclusion, CTLA-4 is increased in TILs in ICC and has an expression profile distinct from PD1/PD-L1. TumorPD-L1/TILsCTLA-4 is a predictive factor of OS and ICC recurrence, suggesting that combined therapy targeting PD1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 may be useful in treating patients with ICC.
