Description

Method for predicting PD-L1 level in breast cancer tumor tissue by peripheral blood PD-1/PD-L1
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of tumor diagnosis and treatment, and particularly provides a method for predicting PD-L1 level in breast cancer tumor tissue by using peripheral blood PD-1/PD-L1, which is characterized by comprising the steps of detecting the expression level of PD-1 and/or PD-L1 in circulating T lymphocytes and predicting the PD-L1 level in the tumor tissue based on the expression level of PD-1 and/or PD-L1 in the circulating T lymphocytes.
Background
In recent years, the incidence of breast cancer has been on the rise worldwide, and new therapeutic means have been continuously sought. The PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors have taken a major breakthrough in immunotherapy, are primarily approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma and the like, can improve median progression-free survival and overall survival of patients, and gradually cover the application of other solid or hematological tumors. Because of the better responsiveness of triple negative breast cancer to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 drugs, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-related clinical trials have focused more on this molecularly typed tumor. The proportion of PD-L1 positive patients in the tumor of the subtype measured by a pathological immunohistochemical method is 38-78%, and the difference can be related to the race of a selected population, the previous treatment experience, the metastasis condition and the like. In addition, the research shows that the expression level of PD-1/PD-L1 is not only related to the clinical pathological characteristics such as tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis condition, prognosis and the like, but also can be used for predicting the response of a patient to a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor.
At present, clinicians usually evaluate whether PD-1 blocking drugs are applied or not through the expression of PD-1/PD-L1 in tumor specimens before treatment. In breast cancer, the number of PD-L1 positive cells in peritumoral infiltrating immune cells is more than or equal to 1 percent as an indication for using the att Zhu Shankang. Neglecting the fact that the level of PD-1/PD-L1 in tumor tissue changes during treatment, which changes the responsiveness of the tumor to the drug, repeated biopsies are often required to adjust the drug at any time. Repeated tissue biopsies are more traumatic, so researchers are constantly searching for new biomarkers with predictive effects. Peripheral blood is of great interest in its convenient means of acquisition and low cost. There are studies that indicate that the levels of PD-L1 positive circulating T lymphocytes in lung cancer correlate with prognosis. Similar studies have been performed by researchers in breast cancer, and the proportion of LAG3 and PD-1 double positive T lymphocytes in breast cancer TIL was found to correlate with molecular typing, whereas such T lymphocytes in PBL were not meaningful. In addition, no statistical difference in the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes, which express both PD-1 and CTLA-4, was found in normal breast versus primary invasive breast cancer Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC), but there was a difference between the two groups of people in TIL.

Example 2 results and analysis
Expression of PD-1/PD-L1 in blood and tissue samples:
among 83 cases meeting the inclusion condition, 77 cases were subjected to the measurement of the expression levels of PD-1 and PD-L1 on the surface of peripheral blood T lymphocytes, and 73 cases were subjected to immunohistochemical staining of tissues PD-1 and PD-L1. The total number of 68 cases has matched tissues and detection results of PD-1/PD-L1 levels of peripheral blood, wherein the 68 cases comprise 18 Luminal A cases (26.5%), 33 Luminal B cases (48.5%), 11 Sanyizi cases (16.2%) and 6 HER-2 overexpression cases (8.8%).
The median percentage of PD-1 positive T lymphocytes in blood was 15.2% (3.6% -41.2%); the median percentage of PD-L1 positive T lymphocytes was 0.7% (0.0% -6.5%) (fig. 1A, 1B).
PD-L1 expression in peritumoral TILs with some heterogeneity in pathological immunohistochemical results (fig. 2A, 2B) 24 of 73 (32.9%) demonstrated positive PD-L1 expression in immunohistochemistry of tissues.
Relation between expression level of T lymphocyte PD-1/PD-L1 in blood sample and expression of PD-L1 in tissue sample and clinical pathology parameters:
analysis of 77 blood samples revealed that PD-1/PD-L1 expression in peripheral blood was independent of clinical pathology such as age, tumor size, clinical stage, histological grade, estrogen-receptor status, ki-67 expression level and molecular typing (p > 0.05, table 1). Whereas the median positive rate for peripheral blood T lymphocytes PD-L1 was 1.4% significantly higher in cases with lymph node metastasis than in patients without lymph node metastasis (0.6%, p =0.005, table 1); the median proportion of PD-L1 positive cells in the blood of HER-2 positive cases was 0.5% significantly lower than that of HER-2 negative cases (0.9%, p =0.034, table 1), with statistically significant results. The level of PD-1 positive lymphocytes in the blood was shown to be independent of both (lymph node metastasis: p =0.816, nature of HER-2: p =0.432, table 1).
Age, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, clinical staging, histological grade, estrogen-progesterone receptor properties, HER-2 properties, ki-67 expression level and molecular typing were found in 73 tissue specimens to be independent of the PD-L1 expression status of the patients (p > 0.05, table 2).

Analysis of the consistency of PD-1/PD-L1 expression levels on the surface of peripheral blood lymphocytes and in peritumoral tissues:
the correlation coefficient of the peripheral blood lymphocyte surface PD-1 expression rate and the PD-L1 expression condition in the tumor tissue microenvironment is 0.24 (p = 0.046), and the correlation coefficient of the peripheral blood lymphocyte surface PD-L1 expression rate and the PD-L1 expression condition in the tumor tissue microenvironment is 0.258 (p = 0.034).
ROC plots were plotted for PD-1/PD-L1 positive T lymphocyte expression levels in blood and PD-L1 expression status in mammary gland tissue, respectively (fig. 3), with peripheral blood PD-1AUC values of 0.650 (95% ci =0.525-0.762 p =0.037; sensitivity 76.19%; specificity 61.70%), and peripheral blood PD-L1 AUC values of 0.661 (95% ci =0.536-0.771p =0.033; sensitivity 57.14%; specificity 78.72%).
The optimal critical value for the proportion of PD-1 positive T lymphocytes in blood was 14.6%, and the optimal critical value for the proportion of PD-L1 positive T lymphocytes was 1.1%. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after age factor correction, the PD-L1 positive rate in blood was 4.420 times higher for people with a PD-1 positive T lymphocyte ratio greater than 14.6% than in the tumor tissue microenvironment of people below this value (p =0.005, table 3), and the PD-L1 positive rate in blood was 4.755 times higher for people with a PD-L1 positive T lymphocyte ratio greater than 1.1% than in the tumor tissue microenvironment of people below 1.1% (p =0.007, table 3).

Analysis of the concordance of the peripheral blood lymphocyte surface PD-1/PD-L1 expression levels in the molecular typing subgroup with the PD-L1 expression in the peritumoral tissues
Molecular typing subgroup analysis found a PD-1AUC value of 0.862 (95% CI =0.619-0.976 p < 0.001 cut-off value: 3.917; sensitivity 100.00%; specificity 76.92%) in Luminal type A blood, a PD-L1 AUC value of 0.731 (95% CI =0.474-0.908 p =0.128; sensitivity 60.00%; specificity 84.62%, FIG. 4A); the PD-1AUC value in Luminal type B blood was 0.600 (95% CI =0.415-0.766 p =0.317; sensitivity 80.00%; specificity 52.17%), the PD-L1 AUC value was 0.652 (95% CI =0.467-0.809; sensitivity 70.00%; specificity 73.91%, FIG. 4B); triple negative blood PD-1AUC values of 0.714 (95% ci =0.378-0.933 p =0.313; sensitivity 50.00%; specificity 100.00%), PD-L1 AUC values of 0.750 (95% ci =0.412-0.950; sensitivity 75.00%; specificity 85.71%, fig. 4C); PD-1AUC values in HER-2 overexpressing blood were 1.000 (95% CI =0.541-1.000, p < 0.001; sensitivity 100.00%; specificity 100.00%), PD-L1 AUC values were 0.500 (95% CI =0.118-0.882; p =1.000; sensitivity 100.00%; specificity 25.00%, FIG. 4D).
From the results of the study, the expression of PD-L1 in tumor tissues and the proportion of PD-1 positive T lymphocytes in peripheral blood are irrelevant to clinical pathological variables of patients, and the expression of PD-L1 on the surface of circulating T lymphocytes is relevant to the lymph node metastasis condition and the property of HER-2. This is not exactly the same conclusion as drawn by other studies. Since Att Zhu Shankang is now the only PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor approved for breast cancer, SP142 corresponding thereto was selected for interpretation of PD-L1 expression in tissues, and the results were more referential. The different groups of people may also produce some differences in the results. Previous studies have shown that metastasis and treatment will result in changes in PD-1/PD-L1 expression levels and sensitivity to immunotherapy. To exclude this interference, all patients in our cohort were early-to-mid untreated patients without distant metastasis. In addition, the positive expression rate of PD-L1 is different among different human species. Subgroup analysis of Japanese patients in the Impassion130 experiment showed that PD-L1 positive cases in triple negative breast cancer in Asian population accounted for 38%, and the results of this experiment were 36% and essentially consistent therewith.
In the correlation and consistency assessment analysis, the percentage of PD-1/PD-L1 positive T lymphocytes in peripheral circulation is related to the expression level of PD-L1 of tumor-surrounding immune cells, and the immunohistochemical result can be predicted to a certain extent. The analysis of different molecular typing cases shows that the level of PD-1 on the surfaces of Luminal A-type and HER-2 overexpression circulating T lymphocytes has the best prediction effect on tissue PD-L1 expression.
