Monitoring PD-1 Phosphorylation to Evaluate PD-1 Signaling during Antitumor Immune Responses
PD-1 expression marks activated T cells susceptible to PD-1–mediated inhibition but not whether a PD-1–mediated signal is being delivered. Molecular predictors of response to PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) are needed. We describe a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that detects PD-1 signaling through...

Sumario: | PD-1 expression marks activated T cells susceptible to PD-1–mediated inhibition but not whether a PD-1–mediated signal is being delivered. Molecular predictors of response to PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) are needed. We describe a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that detects PD-1 signaling through the detection of phosphorylation of the immunotyrosine switch motif (ITSM) in the intracellular tail of mouse and human PD-1 (phospho–PD-1). We showed PD-1(+) tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in MC38 murine tumors had high phosphorylated PD-1, particularly in PD-1(+)TIM-3(+) TILs. Upon PD-1 blockade, PD-1 phosphorylation was decreased in CD8(+) TILs. Phospho–PD-1 increased in T cells from healthy human donors after PD-1 engagement and decreased in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma following ICB. These data demonstrate that phosphorylation of the ITSM motif of PD-1 marks dysfunctional T cells that may be rescued with PD-1 blockade. Detection of phospho–PD-1 in TILs is a potential biomarker for PD-1 immunotherapy responses. |
