- Abstract
For a highly selected group of patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA), liver transplantation (LT) is a treatment option. The Dutch screening protocol comprises nonregional lymph node (LN) assessment by EUS, and whenever LN metastases are identified, further LT screening is precluded. The aim of this study is to investigate the yield of EUS in patients with pCCA who are potentially eligible for LT. In this retrospective, nationwide cohort study, all consecutive patients with suspected unresectable pCCA who underwent EUS in the screening protocol for LT were included from 2011 to 2021. During EUS, sampling of a "suspicious" nonregional LN was performed based on the endoscopist's discretion. The primary outcome was the added value of EUS, defined as the number of patients who were precluded from further screening because of malignant LNs. A total of 75 patients were included in whom 84 EUS procedures were performed, with EUS-guided tissue acquisition confirming malignancy in LNs in 3 of 75 (4%) patients. In the 43 who underwent surgical staging according to the protocol, nonregional LNs with malignancy were identified in 6 (14%) patients. Positive regional LNs were found in 7 patients in post-LT-resected specimens. Our current EUS screening for the detection of malignant LNs in patients with pCCA eligible for LT shows a limited but clinically important yield. EUS with systematic screening of all LN stations, both regional and nonregional, and the sampling of suspicious lymph nodes according to defined and set criteria could potentially increase this yield.

- Abstract
Evaluation of morbidity and mortality after hepatic resection often lacks stratification by extent of resection or diagnosis. Although a liver resection for different indications may have technical similarities, postoperative outcomes differ. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the risk of major complications and mortality after resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Meta-analysis was performed to assess postoperative mortality (in-hospital, 30-, and 90-day) and major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥III). A total of 32 studies that reported on 19,503 patients were included. Pooled in-hospital, 30-day, and 90-day mortality were 5.9% (95% confidence interval 4.1–8.4); 4.6% (95% confidence interval 4.0–5.2); and 6.1% (95% confidence interval 5.0–7.3), respectively. Pooled proportion of major complications was 22.2% (95% confidence interval 17.7–27.5) for all resections. The pooled 90-day mortality was 3.1% (95% confidence interval 1.8–5.2) for a minor resection, 7.4% (95% confidence interval 5.9–9.3) for all major resections, and 11.4% (95% confidence interval 6.9–18.7) for extended resections (P =.001). Major complications were 38.8% (95% confidence interval 29.5–49) after a major hepatectomy compared to 11.3% (95% confidence interval 5.0–24.0) after a minor hepatectomy (P =.001). Asian studies had a pooled 90-day mortality of 4.4% (95% confidence interval 3.3–5.9) compared to 6.8% (95% confidence interval 5.6–8.2) for Western studies (P =.02). Cohorts with patients included before 2000 had a pooled 90-day mortality of 5.9% (95% confidence interval 4.8–7.3) compared to 6.8% (95% confidence interval 5.1–9.1) after 2000 (P =.44). When informing patients or comparing outcomes across hospitals, postoperative mortality rates after liver resection should be reported for 90-days with consideration of the diagnosis and the extent of liver resection.

- Abstract
Objective: This study investigates whether liver grafts donated after circulatory death (DCD) that are declined by the entire Eurotransplant region can be salvaged with abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (aNRP). Background: aNRP is increasingly used for DCD liver grafts because it prevents typical complications. However, it is unclear whether aNRP is capable to rescue pretransplant declined liver grafts by providing the opportunity to test function during donation. Methods: Donor livers from DCD donors, declined by all centers in the Eurotransplant region, were included for this study. The comparator cohort included standard DCD livers and livers donated after brain death, transplanted in the same time period. Results: After the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment, 28 from the 43 donors had a circulatory death within 2 hours, in which case aNRP was initiated. Of these 28 cases, in 3 cases perfusion problems occurred, 5 grafts were declined based on liver assessment, and 20 liver grafts were transplanted. The main differences during aNRP between the transplanted grafts and the assessed nontransplanted grafts were alanine transaminase levels of 53 U/L (34–68 U/L) versus 367 U/L (318–488 U/L) (P =0.001) and bile production in 100% versus 50% of the grafts (P =0.024). The 12-month graft and patient survival were both 95%, similar to the comparator cohort. The incidence of ischemic cholangiopathy was 11%, which was lower than in the standard DCD cohort (18%). Conclusion: aNRP can safely select and thus is able to rescue DCD liver grafts that were deemed unsuitable for transplantation, while preventing primary nonfunction and minimizing ischemic cholangiopathy.

- Abstract
There is much controversy regarding enhanced recovery for recipients of liver transplants from deceased and living donors. The objectives of this Review were to summarise current knowledge on individual enhanced recovery elements on short-term outcomes, identify key components for comprehensive pathways, and create internationally accepted guidelines on enhanced recovery for liver-transplant recipients. The ERAS4OLT.org collaborative partnered by the International Liver Transplantation Society performed systematic literature reviews on the effect of 32 relevant enhanced perioperative recovery elements on short-term outcomes, and global specialists prepared expert statements on deceased and living donor liver transplantation. The Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations approach was used for rating of quality of evidence and grading of recommendations. A virtual international consensus conference was held in January, 2022, in which results were presented, voted on by the audience, and discussed by an independent international jury of eight members, applying the Danish model of consensus. 273 liver transplantation specialists from 30 countries prepared expert statements on elements of enhanced recovery for liver transplantation based on the systematic literature reviews. The consensus conference yielded 80 final recommendations, covering aspects of enhanced recovery for preoperative assessment and optimisation, intraoperative surgical and anaesthetic conduct, and postoperative management for the recipients of liver transplants from both deceased and living donors, and for the living donor. The recommendations represent a comprehensive overview of the relevant elements and areas of enhanced recovery for liver transplantation. These internationally established guidelines could direct the development of enhanced recovery programmes worldwide, allowing adjustments according to local resources and practices.

- Abstract
The use of extended criteria donor grafts is a promising strategy to increase the number of organ transplantations and reduce waitlist mortality. However, these organs are often compromised and/or damaged, are more susceptible to preservation injury, and are at risk for developing post-transplant complications. Ex vivo organ perfusion is a novel technology to preserve donor organs while providing oxygen and nutrients at distinct perfusion temperatures. This preservation method allows to resuscitate grafts and optimize function with therapeutic interventions prior to solid organ transplantation. Stem cell-based therapies are increasingly explored for their ability to promote regeneration and reduce the inflammatory response associated with in vivo reperfusion. The aim of this review is to describe the current state of stem cell-based therapies during ex vivo organ perfusion for the kidney, liver, lung, and heart. We discuss different strategies, including type of cells, route of administration, mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety. The progress made within lung transplantation justifies the initiation of clinical trials, whereas more research is likely required for the kidney, liver, and heart to progress into clinical application. We emphasize the need for standardization of methodology to increase comparability between future (clinical) studies.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors of primary and secondary liver failure after major liver resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. All patients who underwent a major liver resection for presumed perihilar cholangiocarcinoma between 2000 and 2020 at 2 tertiary-referral hospitals were included. Liver failure was defined according to the International Study Group for Liver Surgery criteria, and only grade B/C was considered clinically relevant. Primary liver failure was defined as failure without any underlying postoperative cause, and secondary liver failure was defined as liver failure with an onset after an underlying postoperative complication as a cause. The incidence of liver failure and 90-day mortality were 20.9% and 17.0% in the 253 included patients, respectively. The incidences of primary liver failure was 9.1% and secondary liver failure was 11.9%. Abdominal sepsis, portal vein thrombosis, and arterial thrombosis were the most frequent causes. The absence of preoperative remnant liver assessment and blood loss were independent risk factors for primary liver failure. Independent risk factors for secondary liver failure were Eastern Cooperative Oncology group performance status, percutaneous biliary drainage, and preoperative cholangitis. Liver failure after major liver resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma occurred in 1 of every 5 patients. The proposed subdivision into primary and secondary liver failure could help to understand differences in outcomes between centers and help to reduce liver failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Introduction The initiation and conduct of randomised clinical trials are complicated by multiple barriers, including delays in obtaining regulatory approvals. Quantitative data on the extent of the delays due to national or local review in randomised clinical trials is scarce.Materials and methods We assessed the times needed to obtain regulatory approval and to initiate a trial site for an academic, EU-funded, phase III, randomised clinical trial of pharmacological prevention of complications in patients with acute stroke in over 80 sites in nine European countries. The primary outcome was the time from the first submission to a regulatory authority to initiation of a trial site. Secondary outcomes included time needed to complete each individual preparatory requirement and the number of patients recruited by each site in the first 6 and 12 months.Results The median time from the first submission to a regulatory authority to initiation of a trial site was 784 days (IQR: 586–1102). The single most time-consuming step was the conclusion of a clinical trial agreement between the national coordinator and the trial site, which took a median of 194 days (IQR: 93–293). A longer time to site initiation was associated with a lower patient recruitment rate in the first six months after initiation (B = –0.002; p= 0.02).Discussion Conclusion In this EU-funded clinical trial, approximately 26 months were needed to initiate a trial site for patient recruitment. The conclusion of a contract with a trial site was the most time-consuming activity. To simplify and speed up the process, we suggest that the level of detail of contracts for academic trials should be proportional to the risks and commercial interests of these trials.

- Abstract
Deceased donor kidneys are preserved in cold hypoxic conditions. Providing oxygen during preservation might improve post-transplant outcomes, particularly for kidneys subjected to greater degrees of preservation injury. This study aimed to investigate whether supplemental oxygen during hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) could improve the outcome of kidneys donated after circulatory death.

- Abstract
Objective: To test the total burden of complications in the early postoperative period after liver transplantation (LT) between donation after circulatory death (DCD) and donation after brain death (DBD) grafts with the novel Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI). Background: LTis complex surgery and the increasing use of high-risk grafts is pressuring current postoperative outcomes. DCD grafts in particular are associated with ischemic-type biliary lesions (ITBL) with subsequent impaired graft survival rates. Methods: Retrospective single-center study of all LT since the start of DCD program (2001-2015). CCI (at hospital discharge and after 6 months) was the result of all complications weighted by their Clavien-Dindo grade. A multiple logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with a complex postoperative course (CCI at 6 months >60). Results: In total, 441 cases were included: 115 DCD and 326 DBD grafts. Median in-hospital CCI was comparable for both groups (DCD 38.2; DBD 36.7; P = 0.429). Six-month postoperative median CCI was significantly higher for DCD grafts (53.4 vs 47.2; P = 0.041). Moreover, more DCD recipients underwent retransplantation for ITBL in this period (4% vs 1%; P= 0.031). Logistic regression identified recipient BMI (P = 0.046), recipient warm ischemia time (odds ratio, OR, 1.032; 95% CI, 1.008-1.056; P = 0.008), and DCD graft (OR 3.913; 95% CI 1.200-12.767; P = 0.024) as risk factors for a CCI >60. Conclusions: This analysis shows a comparable complication rate during the index hospital stay for DCD and DBD LT, but the CCI increases significantly for DCD recipients in 6 months after transplantation. Reduction of biliary complications, especially ITBL, is needed to improve the outcomes for DCD grafts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background Subfebrile temperatures and fever in the first days after stroke are associated with a greater risk of a poor outcome. If this relation is causal, prevention of hyperthermia may improve outcome. Causality can be tested in animal models. We therefore assessed the effects of hyperthermia on outcomes in animal models of ischaemic stroke and explored under which conditions prevention of hyperthermia could be most effective.Methods We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of data from animal experiments testing the effect of spontaneous or induced hyperthermia on outcome after focal cerebral ischaemia. Our primary outcome measure was infarct size. Normalised mean differences were combined using the random effects model and stratified meta-analysis was used to explore the impact of study characteristics.Results We included 19 publications, reporting on 49 comparisons involving 603 animals. Overall, hyperthermia increased infarct size by 43.4% (95% confidence interval, 29.8–56.9%) and worsened neurobehavioral outcomes by 48.5% (17.2–79.8%). The increase in infarct size was larger with higher temperatures. Hyperthermia was most harmful if present for more than 2 h and when started at the time of artery occlusion rather than later.Conclusion Hyperthermia substantially increased infarct size in animal models of ischaemic stroke, suggesting that the relation between fever and poor outcome observed in patients is at least in part causal. These data provide support to trials testing the effect of the prevention of fever with antipyretic drugs in patients with acute stroke.

- Abstract
Background Elderly patients are at high risk of complications after stroke, such as infections and fever. The occurrence of these complications has been associated with an increased risk of death or dependency. Hypothesis: Prevention of aspiration, infections, or fever with metoclopramide, ceftriaxone, paracetamol, or any combination of these in the first four days after stroke onset will improve functional outcome at 90 days in elderly patients with acute stroke.Design International, 3 × 2-factorial, randomised-controlled, open-label clinical trial with blinded outcome assessment (PROBE) in 3800 patients aged 66 years or older with acute ischaemic stroke or intracerebral haemorrhage and an NIHSS score ≥ 6. Patients will be randomly allocated to any combination of oral, rectal, or intravenous metoclopramide (10 mg thrice daily); intravenous ceftriaxone (2000 mg once daily); oral, rectal, or intravenous paracetamol (1000 mg four times daily); or usual care, started within 24 h after symptom onset and continued for four days or until complete recovery or discharge from hospital, if earlier. Outcome:The primary outcome measure is the score on the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days (± 14 days), as analysed with multiple regression. Summary:This trial will provide evidence for a simple, safe and generally available treatment strategy that may reduce the burden of death or disability in patients with stroke at very low costs. Planning:First patient included in May 2016; final follow-up of the last patient by April 2020. Registration:ISRCTN, ISRCTN82217627, https://doi.org/10.1186/ISRCTN82217627

- Abstract
The demand of donor livers for transplantation exceeds the supply. In an attempt to maximize the number of potentially usable donor livers, several centers are exploring the role of machine perfusion. This review provides an update on machine perfusion strategies and basic concepts, based on current clinical issues, and discuss challenges, including currently used biomarkers for assessing the quality and viability of perfused organs. The potential benefits of machine perfusion on immunogenicity and the consequences on post-operative immunosuppression management are discussed.

- Abstract
miRNAs have emerged as promising biomarkers because of their association with cell stress and diseases and their easy detection and stability in many body fluids. Because of the sensitivity, the method of choice to detect miRNAs is quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR). Therapeutics, in particular circulating anticoagulants, are notorious for their inhibitory effect on RT-qPCR–based measurements. The effect of heparin contamination on inhibition of RT-qPCR from miRNAs isolated from urine has, however, never been investigated. We obtained urine samples from healthy controls and from heparinized patients undergoing major surgery (live kidney donation or liver transplantation) (n = 27). Samples were spiked with synthetic miRNAs to monitor RNA loss during workup, and levels of endogenous and spiked-in miRNAs were quantified by RT-qPCR. Endogenous miRNAs in urine were protected from degradation, but levels differed substantially within surgery groups. Variability in detection levels of spiked-in miRNAs was low in nonhospitalized controls, but was high in both surgery groups, and the difference in miRNA levels correlated well with the heparin concentration in urinary samples. Treatment of urinary RNA with heparinase I during RT-qPCR strongly reduced this variation in a dose-dependent manner. Heparinase I should therefore be considered as standard step for detection of miRNA in urine from hospitalized individuals.

- Abstract
The gradual accumulation of genetic mutations in human adult stem cells (ASCs) during life is associated with various age-related diseases, including cancer. Extreme variation in cancer risk across tissues was recently proposed to depend on the lifetime number of ASC divisions, owing to unavoidable random mutations that arise during DNA replication. However, the rates and patterns of mutations in normal ASCs remain unknown. Here we determine genome-wide mutation patterns in ASCs of the small intestine, colon and liver of human donors with ages ranging from 3 to 87 years by sequencing clonal organoid cultures derived from primary multipotent cells. Our results show that mutations accumulate steadily over time in all of the assessed tissue types, at a rate of approximately 40 novel mutations per year, despite the large variation in cancer incidence among these tissues. Liver ASCs, however, have different mutation spectra compared to those of the colon and small intestine. Mutational signature analysis reveals that this difference can be attributed to spontaneous deamination of methylated cytosine residues in the colon and small intestine, probably reflecting their high ASC division rate. In liver, a signature with an as-yet-unknown underlying mechanism is predominant. Mutation spectra of driver genes in cancer show high similarity to the tissue-specific ASC mutation spectra, suggesting that intrinsic mutational processes in ASCs can initiate tumorigenesis. Notably, the inter-individual variation in mutation rate and spectra are low, suggesting tissue-specific activity of common mutational processes throughout life.

- Abstract
Purpose:To analyze the movement of the aorta in the craniocaudal direction (through-plane movement) during the cardiac cycle at several levels to determine any potential impact on endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Methods:For this study, 30 patients (median age 73.0 years; 27 men) with an infrarenal AAA were randomly selected from a prospectively maintained EVAR database. All patients had undergone preoperative electrocardiogram-gated computed tomography angiography consisting of 8 phases. After semiautomatic segmentation, a 3-dimensional location probe was placed in the center of the aorta (center point) on the orthogonal slices at 12 different levels along the aorta and iliac arteries for all 8 phases. Movement of the center point during the cardiac cycle was analyzed for each level. Values are given as the median and interquartile range (IQR). Results:The median through-plane movement of all levels was 3.0 mm (IQR 2.8–3.2) and appeared to be lower in the region of the celiac and renal arteries: 2.6 mm (IQR 1.7–3.1) at 3 cm proximal to the most distal renal artery and 2.4 mm (IQR 1.9–2.9) at 1 cm distal to the most distal renal artery, respectively. The thoracic part of the aorta showed the largest through-plane motion: 4.1 mm (IQR 2.7–4.6). Conclusion:This study quantifies aortic through-plane motion in the craniocaudal direction. Since through-plane movement appears to be limited, findings of previous studies investigating pulsatile in-plane distension seem to be representative for aortic distension.

Background: This study analyzes the outcome of esophageal resection in patients 70 or more years of age, compared with patients aged less than 70 years and identifies risk factors for worse outcome in the elderly. Methods: Comorbidity, postoperative morbidity, in-hospital mortality and survival rates were compared between 811 patients aged less than 70 years and 250 patients aged 70 years or more who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer in a single high-volume center from 1985 to 2005. Results: Groups were similar regarding surgical approach, resectability, and tumor stage. More patients aged 70 years or more had cardiovascular and respiratory concomitant disease. Among patients aged 70 years or more, the prevalence of adenocarcinoma and Barrett''s transformation was higher (67% versus 53% for patients aged less than 70 years, and 22% versus 15%, respectively). There were no differences in surgical complications (20% versus 17%). Nonsurgical complications occurred more in patients aged 70 years or more (35% versus 27%) and operative mortality was higher among elderly patients (8.4 versus 3.8%), as was in-hospital mortality (11.6% versus 5.4%). The disease-specific 5-year survival was lower for patients aged 70 years or more (27% versus 34%). The 1-year survival, reflecting the impact of operative morbidity and mortality, was 58% for patients aged 70 years or more and 68% for the patients aged less than 70 years (p = 0.002). Among patients aged 70 years or more, respiratory comorbidity and thoracoabdominal resection were risk factors for the occurrence of nonsurgical complications and respiratory comorbidity for in-hospital mortality. Conclusions: Older patients have increased operative and in-hospital mortality and decreased 5-year survival after esophageal resection for cancer. Our results indicate that especially thoracoabdominal resection for esophageal carcinoma should be carefully considered for patients older than 70 years who suffer from respiratory disease.

Background: Esophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction is the surgical treatment for cancer of the esophagus. Perfusion of the anastomotic site of the tube depends exclusively on microcirculation, making it susceptible to hypoperfusion. It is unknown whether vasodilatation is superior to increased perfusion pressure to improve gastric tissue perfusion of the anastomosis. Methods: We performed a gastric tube reconstruction in 12 pigs, mean body weight 32 ± 2 kg. Besides systemic hemodynamic parameters, gastric microvascular blood flow (MBF) was assessed with laser Doppler flowmetry and gastric microvascular HbO
2 saturation (μHbSO2 ) and Hb concentration (μHbcon) with spectrophotometry. Animals were randomized over 2 groups: with and without intravenous nitroglycerin (NTG). In both groups, mean arterial pressure (MAP) was increased from 50 to 110 mmHg with infusion of norepinephrine; in the NTG group, central venous pressure was maintained below 10 mmHg throughout the experiment with NTG. Results: Except for central venous and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures, all hemodynamic parameters were similar in both groups. Especially in corpus and fundus, MBF decreased following surgery. However, overall MBF was significantly higher in the NTG group. Increasing MAP had no effect on fundus MBF. Gastric μHbSO2 and μHbcon were not different between groups and did not change at higher MAP levels. Conclusion: In our experimental model of gastric tube reconstruction, tissue perfusion is severely compromised; this effect is aggravated by systemic hypotension independent from cardiac output. Impaired venous outflow might contribute to this effect and can be counteracted with infusion of nitroglycerine. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]- Published

- Abstract
Since the introduction of the Model for End-stage Liver disease criteria in 2002, more combined liver kidney transplants are performed. Until 2017, no standard allocation policy for combined liver kidney transplant (CLKT) was available and each transplant center decided eligibility for CLKT or liver transplant alone (LTA) on a case-by-case basis. The aim of this systematic review was to compare the clinical outcomes of CLKT compared to LTA in patients with renal dysfunction. Databases were systematically searched for studies published between January 2010 and March 2021. Outcomes were expressed as risk ratios and pooled with a random-effects model. The primary outcome was patient survival. Four studies were included. No differences were observed for mortality risk at 1 year (risk ratio (RR) 1.03 [confidence interval (CI) 0.97–1.09], 3 years (RR 1.06 [CI 0.99–1.13]) and 5 years (RR 1.08 [CI 0.98–1.19]). The risk of graft loss was similar in the first year (RR 1.10 [CI 0.93–1.30], while 3-year risk of graft loss was significantly lower in CLKT patients (RR 1.15 [CI 1.08–1.24]). CLKT has similar short-term graft and patient survival as LTA in patients with renal dysfunction. More data is needed to decide from which KDIGO stage patients benefit the most from CLKT. • This is the first systematic review to compare combined liver-kidney transplants (CLKT) to liver transplant alone (LTA). • Until 2017 no allocation policy existed to determine who was eligible for CLKT or LTA. • CLKT has similar short-term graft and patient survival as LTA in patients with renal dysfunction. • Risk of graft loss was significantly higher at 3 years for LTA compared to CLKT with renal dysfunction. • CLKT seems to be an appropriate therapeutic option for patients with both end stage liver and renal dysfunction.

- Abstract
We use computational Langevin dynamics simulations to show that the orientation of the dipolar rotors in a one-dimensional chain can be controlled using a local field. Flipping the direction of the field initiates a process in which each of the chain dipoles may switch its orientation. We define the conditions for which the dipole chain remains in one of its two stable orientations. We observe the switching mechanism between these two stable orientations using a local electric field generated by a fixed control dipole, and the effectiveness of the switching process as a function of temperature, rotational friction coefficient, length of the array, and magnitude of the control dipole. We show two examples of curved chains where this process is possible as well. We model molecular dipolar rotors as point dipoles and show that we can transfer a signal along a one-dimensional chain. The propagated signal is not a photon, phonon, or charge, but is rather mechanical. One could argue that this is the smallest array of mechanical gears.

- Abstract
Auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (APOLT) has successfully been performed in patients with noncirrhotic metabolic diseases.It remains, however, unclear if intervention in the portal venous inflow is necessary to ensure adequate portal blood flow to graft and host liver. In this experimental study we evaluate the hepatic flow during APOLT.

- Abstract
Background & Aims Ligand binding to inhibitory receptors on immune cells, such as programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA4), down-regulates the T-cell–mediated immune response (called immune checkpoints). Antibodies that block these receptors increase antitumor immunity in patients with melanoma, non–small-cell lung cancer, and renal cell cancer. Tumor-infiltrating CD4 + and CD8 + T cells in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been found to be functionally compromised. We analyzed HCC samples from patients to determine if these inhibitory pathways prevent T-cell responses in HCCs and to find ways to restore their antitumor functions. Methods We collected HCC samples from 59 patients who underwent surgical resection from November 2013 through May 2017, along with tumor-free liver tissues (control tissues) and peripheral blood samples. We isolated tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and intra-hepatic lymphocytes. We used flow cytometry to quantify expression of the inhibitory receptors PD-1, hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (TIM3), lymphocyte activating 3 (LAG3), and CTLA4 on CD8 + and CD4 + T cells from tumor, control tissue, and blood; we studied the effects of antibodies that block these pathways in T-cell activation assays. Results Expression of PD-1, TIM3, LAG3, and CTLA4 was significantly higher on CD8 + and CD4 + T cells isolated from HCC tissue than control tissue or blood. Dendritic cells, monocytes, and B cells in HCC tumors expressed ligands for these receptors. Expression of PD-1, TIM3, and LAG3 was higher on tumor-associated antigen (TAA)-specific CD8 + TIL, compared with other CD8 + TIL. Compared with TIL that did not express these inhibitory receptors, CD8 + and CD4 + TIL that did express these receptors had higher levels of markers of activation, but similar or decreased levels of granzyme B and effector cytokines. Antibodies against CD274 (PD-ligand1 [PD-L1]), TIM3, or LAG3 increased proliferation of CD8 + and CD4 + TIL and cytokine production in response to stimulation with polyclonal antigens or TAA. Importantly, combining antibody against PD-L1 with antibodies against TIM3, LAG3, or CTLA4 further increased TIL functions. Conclusions The immune checkpoint inhibitory molecules PD-1, TIM3, and LAG3 are up-regulated on TAA-specific T cells isolated from human HCC tissues, compared with T cells from tumor-free liver tissues or blood. Antibodies against PD-L1, TIM3, or LAG3 restore responses of HCC-derived T cells to tumor antigens, and combinations of the antibodies have additive effects. Strategies to block PD-L1, TIM3, and LAG3 might be developed for treatment of primary liver cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In liver cancer tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (Ti-Treg) are potent suppressors of tumor-specific T-cell responses and express high levels of the Treg-associated molecules cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR). In this study, we have evaluated the capacity of GITR-ligation, CTLA-4-blockade and a combination of both treatments to alleviate immunosuppression mediated by Ti-Treg. Using ex vivoisolated cells from individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver metastases from colorectal cancer (LM-CRC) we show that treatment with a soluble form of the natural ligand of GITR (GITRL), or with blocking antibodies to CTLA-4, reduces the suppression mediated by human liver tumor-infiltrating CD4+Foxp3+ Treg, thereby restoring proliferation and cytokine production by effector T cells. Importantly, combined treatment with low doses of both molecules exhibited stronger recovery of T cell function compared with either treatment alone. Our data suggest that in patients with primary and secondary liver cancer both GITR-ligation and anti-CTLA-4 mAb can improve the antitumor immunity by abrogating Ti-Treg mediated suppression.
