PD-L1 expression and the prognostic significance in gastric cancer: a retrospective comparison of three PD-L1 antibody clones (SP142, 28-8 and E1L3N).

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) displays staining diversity. We compared IHC staining of PD-L1 in gastric cancer (GC) by using three commercially available antibody clones, and analyzed the correlation with the prognosis. METHODS:IHC using PD-L1 antibodies (clones SP142, 28-8 and E1L3N) in 315 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples was qualitatively compared at the 1, 5 and 10% cut-off by two pathologists on total, tumor and immune/stromal cells. We used computer - assisted scoring to quantitatively analyze and compare the "H-score" of PD-L1 expression in 66 samples on total cells. The antibody clone SP142 was selected to investigate the infiltration of PD-L1+CD8+ T cells using automated quantitative immunofluorescence analyses (n?=?50) and the prognostic significance. The prognoses were assessed by log-rank test. RESULTS:PD-L1 clones SP142 and 28-8 displayed great concordance by qualitative (??=?0.816, 0.810 for total cells and tumor cells at the 5% cut-off) and quantitative analyses (R2?=?0.7991, 0.8187 for positive percentage and "H-score"). PD-L1 clone SP142 showed the highest positivity in immune/stromal cells staining (18.41%) compared to 28-8 (7.62%), while clone E1L3N showed poor staining in both tumor and immune/stromal cells. Clone SP142, but not 28-8 and E1L3N, predicted a worse prognosis at the 5% cut-off (p?=?0.0243). Both the clone SP142 and 28-8 had high inter-pathologist correlation for tumor staining (R2?=?0.9805 and R2?=?0.9853), but a moderate correlation for stromal/immune cell staining (R2?=?0.5653 and R2?=?0.5745). Furthermore, a higher density of PD-L1+CD8+ T cells was correlated with a shorter survival time (R2?=?0.0909, p?=?0.0352). CONCLUSIONS:PD-L1 antibody clone SP142 was superior in cell staining, particularly in immune/stromal cell and prognosis. These findings are important for selection of PD-L1 antibody clones in the future diagnostic test.

Project description:BackgroundAn increasing number of studies have examined the ability of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) to function as a marker for tumor prognosis. However, whether PD-L1 expression is a prognostic factor for the poor outcomes in many human cancers remains controversial. This study aims to investigate the prognostic role of PD-L1 expression through a meta-analysis update of 60 studies.MethodsThe studies were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library, and were assessed by further quality evaluation. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for total and stratified analyses were calculated to investigate the association between the PD-L1 expression and the overall (OS) and disease-free (DFS) or progression-free survivals (PFS) of cancer patients. Heterogeneity and publication bias were also investigated.ResultsThe results indicated that PD-L1 overexpression can predict a poor OS (HR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.38-1.81, P <.000) and DFS/PFS (HR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.26-2.33, P = .001). Subgroup analyses showed that PD-L1 overexpression was significantly related to the poor OS in patients with breast (HR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.15-3.41, P = .014), urothelial (HR = 2.24, 95% CI = 1.61-3.12, P <.000), renal (HR = 3.30, 95% CI = 2.23-4.86, P <.000), and gastric cancers (HR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.02-2.37, P = .040). Furthermore, PD-L1 overexpresion was significantly associated with poor DFS/PFS in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (HR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.21-2.46, P = .003), melanoma (HR = 3.39, 95% CI = 2.02-5.69, P <.000), and renal carcinoma, (HR = 5.04, 95% CI = 2.87-8.86, P <.000). The adverse prognostic impact of PD-L1 was observed in patients of different ethnicities.ConclusionsThe findings of this meta-analysis suggest the correlation of PD-L1 overexpression with worse OS in patients with solid tumors. However, the correlations differed according to tumor types.
