ジャーナル Br J Cancer
Abstract BACKGROUND:The predictive significance of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) for programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors remains unclear in gastric cancer (GC) due to the dynamic alteration by treatments. We aimed to elucidate the effects of trastuzumab (Tmab) on PD-L1 expression in GC.
METHODS:PD-L1 expression was evaluated by multicolour flow cytometry analysis after co-culturing GG cell lines and immune cells with Tmab. IFN-γ in the co-culture experiments was quantified. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for PD-L1 expression using clinical samples was also performed to confirm PD-L1 alteration by Tmab.
RESULTS:PD-L1 expression was significantly upregulated by Tmab in HER2-amplified GC cell lines co-cultured with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). PD-L1 upregulation by Tmab was also observed in the GC cells co-cultured with NK cells in time-dependent manner, but not with monocytes. IFN-γ concentration in conditioned media from co-cultured PBMCs and NK cells with Tmab was significantly higher and anti-IFN-γ significantly suppress the Tmab-induced PD-L1 upregulation. IHC also suggested PD-L1 upregulation after Tmab treatment.
CONCLUSIONS:Tmab can upregulate PD-L1 expression on GC cells through interaction with NK cells. These results suggest clinical implications in the assessment of the predictive significance of PD-L1 expression for PD-1 inhibitors.
