Meanwhile, we also confirmed the down-regulation of PD-L1 in osteosarcoma in response to PDT and 3-MA treatment, which significantly inhibited tumor growth in a model of tumor metastasis.
This data brings new light to future treatment using targeted therapy to EGFR or CD274 to include retesting such biomarkers in recurrence and lymph nodes metastases.
In survival analyses, a significantly better overall survival was observed for patients with PD-L1 negative primary breast tumors that developed PD-L1 positive distant metastases (HR 3.013, CI 1.201-7.561, p = 0.019).
PD-1/PD-L1 pathway was expressed in MTC patients and was significantly correlated with the distant metastases at surgery, which may shed light on PD-1/PD-L1 as a promising therapeutic target in MTC.
A positive correlation between PD-L1 negativity and mucinous and poorly cohesive carcinoma could be shown (p = 0.043), while no association existed for either gender, T-stage, N-stage, grading, surgical resection status, neoadjuvant therapy, distant metastases, lymphovascular or perineural invasion.
PD-L1 positivity was observed in 33% and 39% of primary melanomas and matched metastases, respectively, with, however, poor concordance between the primary and the matched metastatic site (κ = 0.283).
All patients receiving a single-agent ICI (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 [CTLA-4] or programmed death(ligand)1 [PD(L)-1] inhibitors) for the standard treatment of a locally advanced or metastatic cancer were included in this retrospective multicentric series.
Until now, anti-PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tissue sections has been the only validated companion diagnostic test for first-line immunotherapy for advanced and metastatic cancer, notably non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The concordance of PD-L1 positivity between EBUS-TBNA and other specimens was moderate; κ = 0.63 for EBUS-TBNA vs. TBB, κ = 0.68 for EBUS-TBNA vs. resected primary tumors, and κ = 1.0 for EBUS-TBNA vs. resected metastases.
Patients with metastatic cancer (<i>n</i> = 198) were analyzed by flow cytometry for DC-HIL or PDL1 expression on blood CD14<sup>+</sup>HLA-DR<sup>no/lo</sup> MDSCs.
Moreover, in vivo anti-tumor studies reveal that Au@Pt-LM<sup>D</sup>P nanosystem can effectively eliminate primary tumors via PTT, and further stimulate the activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes by PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockage, result in inhibiting the growth of distal tumors and alleviating tumor metastasis.
We investigated the immunohistochemical profile of CLDN18, p53, p16, E-cadherin, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, PSM2, HER2, and PDL-1 in a large series of 523 primary gastric carcinomas (GCs; n = 408) and gastro-oesophageal carcinomas (GECs; n = 115) and 135 matched and synchronous nodal metastases.
Four parathyroid carcinoma cases had programmed death-ligand 1 H scores ≥1 associated with CD3+ and CD8+ tumor cell density; 2 of them had distant metastases.
By further combining with the checkpoint blockade adjusted by programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody, the Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>-R837 SP-involved PTT cannot only eliminate the primary tumors but also prevent tumor metastasis to lungs/liver.
Here, we determined PD-L1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry using a validated PD-L1-specific antibody (SP263) in a large and representative cohort of primary prostate cancers and prostate cancer metastases.
Combined with immune checkpoints blockade therapy by programmed death 1 (PD-1) antibody, the dual inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 axis elicits significant immune response and presents a robust effect in lengthening tumor recurrent time and inhibiting tumor metastasis.
