      JCSE01.14 - Effects of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy on the Expression of Programmed Death Ligand-1 and Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Lung Cancer Tissues (ID 14703)

      11:15 - 11:15  |  Author(s): Wenyu Sun

      • Abstract

      Background
      Immune checkpoints programmed death 1(PD1)and its ligand PD-L1,PD-L2 pathways can mediate negative synergistic stimulation signals.Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy can increase the objective response rate of cancer patients,but the mechanism of combination therapy is not clear.This study aims to analyze the changes of PD-L1,PD-L2 in lung cancer tissues and the changes of TILs ( CD4+,CD8+,CD28+,and CD56+ lymphocytes ) surrounding the tumor before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(platinum-based),in order to provide a theoretical basis for relevant clinical studies.Tumor samples were obtained from 26 patients who confirmed primary lung cancer before and after NAC from 2009 to 2016 in the First Hospital of Jilin University. The expression of PD-L1, PD-L2 in lung cancer specimens were assessed by IHC. 5%,10%,20%,30%,50% expression thresholds were used to define PD-L1, PD-L2 positive status, respectively. Of 16 patients ( since the biopsy tissue specimens were limited, only 16 cases of biopsy and postoperative tissue specimens were collected), the expression of TILs around the tumor before and after NAC were assessed by IHC. We analyze the changes of PD-L1 and PD-L2 in lung cancer tissues before and after NAC, the correlation between the changes of PD-L1 in lung cancer tissues and tumor shrink rate, the interval from the end of NAC to operation, pathological type, gender and smoking status. Of 16 patients, the changes of TILs around the tumor before and after NAC were also evaluated. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

      1. When using 5%, 10%, and 20% as expression threshold to define PD-L1 positive status, PD-L1 was up-regulated after NAC (P=0.008,P=0.016,P=0.016). However, there were no obviously statistical significance about the expression of PD-L1 when using 30%, 50% expression threshold. The expression of PD-L2 were not show any statistical significance before and after NAC.

      2. Of 16 patients, the expression of CD4+, CD8+ and CD28+ lymphocytes increased after NAC (P=0.014,P=0.038,P=0.021), whereas the change of CD56+ lymphocytes was not statistical significant.

      3. There were no significant difference between the changes of PD-L1 and tumor shrink rate, interval from the end of NAC to operation, pathological type, gender and smoking status .

      1. NAC up-regulates the expression of PD-L1 in lung cancer tissues when the expression thresholds are 5%, 10%, and 20%.

      2. NAC up-regulates the expression of CD4+, CD8+, and CD28+ lymphocytes.

      3. No correlation exists between the variation of PD-L1 and tumor shrink rate, interval from the end of NAC to operation, pathological type, gender and smoking status.

      1. When using 5%, 10%, and 20% as expression threshold to define PD-L1 positive status, PD-L1 was up-regulated after NAC (P=0.008,P=0.016,P=0.016). However, there were no obviously statistical significance about the expression of PD-L1 when using 30%, 50% expression threshold. The expression of PD-L2 were not show any statistical significance before and after NAC.

      2. Of 16 patients, the expression of CD4+, CD8+ and CD28+ lymphocytes increased after NAC (P=0.014,P=0.038,P=0.021), whereas the change of CD56+ lymphocytes was not statistical significant.

      3. There were no significant difference between the changes of PD-L1 and tumor shrink rate, interval from the end of NAC to operation, pathological type, gender and smoking status .

      1. NAC up-regulates the expression of PD-L1 in lung cancer tissues when the expression thresholds are 5%, 10%, and 20%.

      2. NAC up-regulates the expression of CD4+, CD8+, and CD28+ lymphocytes.

      3. No correlation exists between the variation of PD-L1 and tumor shrink rate, interval from the end of NAC to operation, pathological type, gender and smoking status.
