Abstract

Abstract Background Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare but aggressive carcinoma characterized by severe erythema and edema of the breast, with many patients presenting in advanced metastatic disease. The “inflammatory” nature is not due to classic immune-mediated inflammation, but instead results from tumor-mediated blockage of dermal lymphatic ducts. Previous work has shown that expression of PD-L1 on tumor cells can suppress T cell activation in triple-negative (TN) non-IBC breast cancer. In the present work, we investigated immune parameters in peripheral blood of metastatic IBC patients to determine whether cellular components of the immune system are altered, thereby contributing to pathogenesis of the disease. These immune parameters were also compared to PD-1 and PD-L1 expression in IBC tumor biopsies. Methods Flow cytometry-based immune phenotyping was performed using fresh peripheral blood from 14 stage IV IBC patients and compared to 11 healthy age-similar control women. Immunohistochemistry for CD20, CD3, PD-1, and PD-L1 was performed on tumor biopsies of these metastatic IBC patients. Results IBC patients with Stage IV disease had lymphopenia with significant reductions in circulating T, B, and NK cells. Reductions were observed in all subsets of CD4+ T cells, whereas reductions in CD8+ T cells were more concentrated in memory subsets. Immature cytokine-producing CD56bright NK cells expressed higher levels of FcγRIIIa and cytolytic granule components, suggesting accelerated maturation to cytolytic CD56dim cells. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumor biopsies demonstrated moderate to high expression of PD-1 in 18.2% of patients and of PD-L1 in 36.4% of patients. Interestingly, a positive correlation was observed between co-expression levels of PD-L1 and PD-1 in tumor biopsies, and higher expression of PD-L1 in tumor biopsies correlated with higher expression of cytolytic granule components in blood CD4+ T cells and CD56dim NK cells, and higher numbers of CD8+ effector memory T cells in peripheral blood. PD-1 expression in tumor also correlated with increased infiltration of CD20+ B cells in the tumor. Conclusions Our results suggest that while lymphocyte populations are severely compromised in stage IV IBC patients, an immune response toward the tumor had occurred in some patients, providing biological rationale to evaluate PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapies for IBC.

Abstract

PURPOSE In the two-cohort phase II KEYNOTE-086 study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02447003 ), first-line and second-line or later pembrolizumab monotherapy demonstrated antitumor activity in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC; N = 254). This exploratory analysis evaluates the association between prespecified molecular biomarkers and clinical outcomes. METHODS Cohort A enrolled patients with disease progression after one or more systemic therapies for metastatic disease irrespective of PD-L1 status; Cohort B enrolled patients with previously untreated PD-L1–positive (combined positive score [CPS] ≥ 1) metastatic disease. The association between the following biomarkers as continuous variables and clinical outcomes (objective response rate [ORR], progression-free survival [PFS], and overall survival [OS]) was evaluated: PD-L1 CPS (immunohistochemistry), cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8; immunohistochemistry), stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (sTIL; hematoxylin and eosin staining), tumor mutational burden (TMB; whole-exome sequencing [WES]), homologous recombination deficiency-loss of heterozygosity, mutational signature 3 (WES), mutational signature 2 (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing catalytic polypeptide–like; WES), T-cell–inflamed gene expression profile (TcellinfGEP; RNA sequencing), and 10 non-TcellinfGEP signatures (RNA sequencing); Wald test P values were calculated, and significance was prespecified at α = 0.05. RESULTS In the combined cohorts (A and B), PD-L1 ( P = .040), CD8 ( P < .001), sTILs ( P = .012), TMB ( P = .007), and TcellinfGEP ( P = .011) were significantly associated with ORR; CD8 ( P < .001), TMB ( P = .034), Signature 3 ( P = .009), and TcellinfGEP ( P = .002) with PFS; and CD8 ( P < .001), sTILs ( P = .004), TMB ( P = .025), and TcellinfGEP ( P = .001) with OS. None of the non-TcellinfGEP signatures were associated with outcomes of pembrolizumab after adjusting for the TcellinfGEP. CONCLUSION In this exploratory biomarker analysis from KEYNOTE-086, baseline tumor PD-L1, CD8, sTILs, TMB, and TcellinfGEP were associated with improved clinical outcomes of pembrolizumab and may help identify patients with mTNBC who are most likely to respond to pembrolizumab monotherapy.

Abstract

Background: In the phase 2 KEYNOTE-086 study (NCT02447003), pembrolizumab monotherapy had durable antitumor activity in a subset of patients with previously treated mTNBC (cohort A; n = 170) and in patients with previously untreated PD-L1-positive mTNBC (cohort B; n = 84). In this exploratory analysis of KEYNOTE-086, we evaluated the association between several biomarkers and response to pembrolizumab. Methods: Cohort A enrolled patients regardless of PD-L1 expression who had documented disease progression following ≥1 systemic therapy for metastatic disease. Cohort B enrolled patients with PD-L1-positive (combined positive score [CPS] ≥1) tumors who had not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure PD-L1 CPS and CD8 density; H&E staining for percentage of stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs); RNA-sequencing for 18-gene T-cell-inflamed gene expression profile (GEP), angiogenesis, and glycolysis signatures; and whole exome sequencing (paired tumor and germline) for TMB (TMB-H defined as ≥175 mut/exome), HRD-LOH (DNA damage), Signature 3, and APOBEC. Biomarkers were analyzed as continuous variables in cohorts A and B combined and individually. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was estimated between each biomarker and overall response rate (ORR). Wald test P-values were calculated using logistic regression adjusted for cohort and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status. Germline and somatic BRCA1/2 mutations were pooled; one-sided P-value was calculated using Fisher’s exact test. Spearman’s correlation was used for correlations. Results: Biomarker data were available in the following number of patients: 253 (99.6%; PD-L1), 204 (80.3%; CD8), 187 (73.6%; GEP), 171 (67.3%; TMB/HRD), 228 (89.8%; sTILs), 163 (64.2%; Signature 3/APOBEC), and 132 (52.0%; angiogenesis/glycolysis). When data from cohorts A and B were combined, PD-L1 CPS (median 2; IQR 0-10), CD8 (median 159; IQR 62-319), GEP (median -0.34; IQR -0.57 to -0.11), TMB (median 82 mut/exome; IQR 50-139), and sTILs (median 5; IQR 2-20) were significantly associated with ORR (Table). There were moderate correlations between PD-L1 and GEP (r = 0.532), PD-L1 and sTILs (r = 0.451), and GEP and sTILs (r = 0.490). No correlation was observed between TMB and PD-L1 (r = 0.038), GEP (r = -0.035), and sTILs (r = -0.031). When cohorts were combined, TMB was significantly associated with ORR, PFS, and OS after adjustment for PD-L1, GEP, CD8, or sTILs. HRD-LOH score, Signature 3, and APOBEC were not significantly associated with ORR (Table); P for BRCA1/2 was 0.2385. The angiogenesis signature was associated with lack of response while the glycolysis signature was associated with response to pembrolizumab (Table). Conclusions: In this exploratory biomarker analysis from KEYNOTE-086, higher levels of PD-L1, GEP, TMB, CD8 IHC, sTILs, and the glycolysis signature were associated with increased response to pembrolizumab monotherapy. These findings may help identify patients with mTNBC who are most likely to respond to pembrolizumab. Table.

Abstract

Despite the current success of immunotherapies, only microsatellite instable (MSI) Colorectal Cancer (CRC) typically respond to T cell-driven immunotherapies while microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC displays poor response. Our goal is to identify resistance mechanisms in MSS-CRC to uncover novel therapeutic targets. Current syngeneic CRC models are largely immunogenic and lack complex structure. Therefore, we developed novel 3D humanized CRC mouse models which form complex human-like tumors which are typically absent in syngeneic systems. We investigated molecular profiles of human MSI-versus MSS-CRC tumor xenografts following Keytruda immunotherapy and identified an immunosuppressive profile in MSS models that was not observed in MSI-CRC. We evaluated the therapeutic potential of blocking inflammation in combination with other immuno-modulatory therapies in both cold and hot CRC models and identified a significant regression of tumor burden in MSS-CRC mice. Our studies provide a novel CRC in vivo model and a unique opportunity to better define how immune cells interact in human MSS- and MSI-CRC microenvironments, to enable clinical therapeutic implementation.

Abstract

40 Background: Programmed Death 1 (PD-1) is a T cell inhibitory receptor critical to a major immunomodulation pathway which has been implicated in tumor evasion of immune response. PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1 have been found to be expressed in many tumor types, and this expression has led to the development of drugs targeting the PD-1 pathway. The goal of this study was to understand the expression of PD-1, and PD-L1 in high grade prostate cancer tissue, and correlate the expression with disease and patients characteristics. Methods: Immunohistochemistry for PD-1 (CD279), PD-L1 (B7-H1), and CD3 was performed on prostatectomy/biopsy tissue samples taken from 25 men with high grade (Gleason 8-10) prostate cancer using anti-PD-L1 clone 22C3 (Merck) and anti-PD-1 clone NAT105 (Cell Marque) . CD3 was used as a specific marker for T cell infiltration. Charts were then retrospectively reviewed for patient and disease characteristics including age at diagnosis, race, Gleason score, prostatic specific antigen (PSA) level at diagnosis, number of positive cores at biopsy, volume of tissue on biopsy and/or prostatectomy involved by cancer, clinical TNM stage, pathologic TNM stage, biochemical recurrence, or metastasis. Statistical analyses were done to correlate these patient and disease characteristics with PD-1, PD-L1, and CD3 expression. Results: A score of 3-5 on the semi-quantitative 0-5 score was deemed “high” expression whereas a score of 0-2 was deemed “low” expression. Of the 25 samples, 2 (8%) scored high for PD-1 expression, 2 (8%) scored high for PD-L1 expression, and 18 (72%) scored high for CD3 expression. With independent t-tests there was found to be no statistically significant correlation between any of the variables we collected and expression of PD-1, PD-L1, or CD3. Conclusions: We found an overall low expression of PD-1 and PD-L1, and a concurrent high expression of CD3+ T cells in high risk prostate cancer tissue. No significant correlations were made between expression of PD-1, PD-L1, or CD3 and patient and disease characteristics. The elevated T cell content in high risk prostate cancer is particularly interesting with the continued emergence of new drugs focused on enhancing efficacy of the immune response in cancer.

Abstract

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic disease characterized by esophageal eosinophilia, inflammation, and dysfunction. EoE has become increasingly common, but current management strategies are nonspecific. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify new pathways that could be targeted to treat EoE. Recently, EoE was associated with a gain-of-function polymorphism in the gene that encodes thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), a cytokine that promotes allergic inflammation and peripheral basophilia. However, how TSLP and basophils might contribute to the development of eosinophil responses during EoE remains unknown. Here, we employed a new murine model of EoE-like disease to investigate the role of TSLP and basophils in promoting esophageal eosinophil responses. Development of esophageal eosinophil responses was dependent on TSLP-elicited basophils, and antibody-mediated neutralization of TSLP or depletion of basophils ameliorated established esophageal eosinophilia. In addition, we examined how sort-purified human basophils influence eosinophil responses in vitro. Finally, elevated TSLP levels and exaggerated basophil responses observed in esophageal biopsies from EoE patients correlated with eosinophil responses. Together, these data indicate that TSLP-elicited basophil responses may play a key role in mediating eosinophil responses in EoE, suggesting that the TSLP-basophil axis could represent a new and promising therapeutic target to treat this disease.
