PD-L1 Glycosylation and Its Impact on Binding to Clinical Antibodies.


ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint inhibitors, including PD-L1/PD-1, are key regulators of the immune response and promising targets in cancer immunotherapy. N-glycosylation of PD-L1 affects its interaction with PD-1, but little is known about the distribution of glycoforms at its four NXS/T sequons. We optimized LC-MS/MS methods using collision energy modulation for the site-specific resolution of specific glycan motifs. We demonstrate that PD-L1 on the surface of breast cancer cell line carries mostly complex glycans with a high proportion of polyLacNAc structures at the N219 sequon. Contrary to the full-length protein, the secreted form of PD-L1 expressed in breast MDA-MB-231 or HEK293 cells demonstrated minimum N219 occupancy and low contribution of the polyLacNAc structures. Molecular modeling of PD-L1/PD-1 interaction with N-glycans suggests that glycans at the N219 site of PD-L1 and N74 and N116 of PD-1 may be involved in glycan-glycan interactions, but the impact of this potential interaction on the protein function remains at this point unknown. The interaction of PD-L1 with clinical antibodies is also affected by glycosylation. In conclusion, PD-L1 expressed in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line carries polyLacNAc glycans mostly at the N219 sequon, which displays the highest variability in occupancy and is most likely to influence the interaction with PD-1.
