Prognostic value of programmed death-ligand 1 expression in patients with stage III colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: The programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway is a negative feedback pathway that suppresses the activity of T cells. Previous studies reported that high PD-L1 expression on tumor cells (TC) was associated with poor survival in patients with colorectal cancer; however, the prognostic evaluation of these studies was limited because they included patients at various disease stages. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between PD-L1 status in the immune microenvironment and the clinicopathological features of stage III colorectal cancer. Two hundred and thirty-five patients were included in the analysis. PD-L1 expression on TC and tumor-infiltrating mononuclear cells (TIMC) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The median follow-up of thisi study was 52.9 months. A total of 8.1% of stage III colorectal cancer showed high PD-L1 expression on TC and 15.3% showed high PD-L1 expression on TIMC. Patients with high PD-L1 expression on TC had significantly shorter disease-free survival (DFS) than patients with low expression (hazard ratio [HR] 2.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-4.62; P = 0.012). In addition, patients with high PD-L1 expression on TIMC were associated with longer DFS than patients with low expression (HR 0.40; 95% CI, 0.16-0.98; P = 0.046). These findings suggest that PD-L1 expression status may be a new predictor of recurrence for stage III colorectal cancer patients and highlight the necessity of evaluating PD-L1 expression on TC and TIMC separately in the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Background: The correlation between programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) which may affect T cell to form the immune tolerance and breast cancer (BC) still maintains to be uncovered. This meta-analysis was about to explore PD-L1 expression as well as its prognostic role in BC.Methods: First of all, we performed 3 databases: PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science to explore publications between January of 2015 and January of 2020. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria were conducted: immunohistochemistry shall be used to detect target molecule expression and at least 1 survival indicator and related data we need should be included. The hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval were pooled related with survival as well as clinicopathological parameters. The effects of PD-L1 in differed aspects like sample size and age of each cohort were demonstrated by subgroup analyses as well as sensitivity analyses which may complain the potential source of heterogeneity. P?<?.05 indicates factors were charge of the heterogeneity of prognosis. Begg and Egger tests were used to identify publication bias.Results: We identified 12 studies containing a blanket of 4336 patients with BC for whom PD-L1 positive tumor cells were related with higher tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, estrogen receptor negativity, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positivity, luminal B and triple negative BC molecular subtype and high nuclear-associated antigen Ki- 67 expression. Meanwhile, compared to patients with PD-L1 negative expression, PD-L1 positivity associated with worse overall survival (Hazard ratio [HR]:1.43; 95% CI:0.98-2.10; P?<?.001) and might have no obvious tight connection with disease free survival (HR:1.40; 95% CI:1.11-1.78; P = .101) and recurrence free survival (HR:2.36; 95% CI:1.04-5.34; P?=?.145). The outcome of the meta-analysis was confirmed to be credible by sensitivity analysis. Publication bias was not existed indicated (P?=?.640).Conclusion: Positive PD-L1 expression has a worse clinical outcome in patients with BC demonstrated by our meta-analysis. Being urgent to catch attention to the role of PD-L1 in BC, it may be considered as prognostic marker of immune microenvironment for improving therapy efficacy.
