PD-L1 Predicts Poor Prognosis in Surgically Resected Limited Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer

PURPOSE: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive high-grade neuroendocrine tumor with limited treatment strategies. Programmed death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), delta-like ligand-3 (DLL-3), and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have shed light on the treatment of extensive sta...

description PURPOSE: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive high-grade neuroendocrine tumor with limited treatment strategies. Programmed death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), delta-like ligand-3 (DLL-3), and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have shed light on the treatment of extensive stage-SCLC. However, the expression and prognostic role of PD-L1, DLL-3, and PARP are barely explored in surgically resected limited stage-SCLC (LS-SCLC). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 404 SCLC patients from 2011 to 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University and collected 43 surgically resected LS-SCLC samples with adequate materials and histological specimens containing abundant tumor cells. Immunohistochemistry staining of PD-L1, DLL-3, and PAPR1 was performed by anti-PD-L1 (22C3/Dako), anti-DLL-3, and anti-PAPR1 antibodies, respectively. Positive expression of PD-L1 was characterized as >5% tumor cells and/or tumor-infiltrating immune cells expressing PD-L1. The correlation between PD-L1, DLL-3, PARP1, and clinicopathological characteristics of surgically resected LS-SCLC patients was performed by χ(2) test. The survival curves were calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method and analyzed by the Log rank test and Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: 63.04% patients were positive for PD-L1, 65.12% were positive for DLL-3, and 20.93% were positive for PARP1. DLL-3 was significantly overexpressed in SCLC tissues, compared with matched para-noncancerous tissues. Male, elder than 60 years old, advanced TNM stage, smoking, and positive PD-L1 expression predicted shorter DFS, while patients received adjuvant therapy performed better DFS. Further multivariate analysis revealed that TNM stage (HR=2.51, 95% CI=1.31–4.78, P=0.005) was an individual prognostic factor for DFS in LS-SCLC. Moreover, advanced TNM stage and positive PD-L1 expression also indicated worse OS, but adjuvant therapy improved OS in LS-SCLC. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that PD-L1 and TNM stage were independent and significant negative predictive factors for OS (HR=2.89, 95% CI=1.21–6.93, P=0.017; HR=2.49, 95% CI=1.25–4.94, P=0.009 for PD-L1 and TNM stage, respectively), while adjuvant treatment was an independent positive prognostic factor for OS (HR=0.37, 95% CI=0.17–0.81, P=0.012).
