الوصف: Immune checkpoint blockade therapy is a treatment option of various metastatic cancer diseases including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Approved antibody drugs target the co-inhibitory signaling of Programmed Cell Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) and its receptor Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1). The combined evaluation of PD-L1 and PD-1 at the mRNA and protein levels in tumor tissue with differentiation of tumor and immune cells as well as of soluble forms (sPD-L1) and (sPD-1) in blood is of basic interest in assessing biomarker surrogates. Here, we demonstrate that PD-L1 determined as fraction of stained tumor cells (TPS-score) correlates with PD-L1-mRNA in tumor tissue, reflecting the predominant expression of PD-L1 in tumor cells. Conversely, PD-1 in immune cells of tumor tissue (IC-score) correlated with PD-1-mRNA tissue levels reflecting the typical PD-1 expression in immune cells. Of note, sPD-L1 in blood did not correlate with either the TPS-score of PD-L1 or with PD-L1-mRNA in tumor tissue. sPD-L1 released into the supernatant of cultured RCC cells closely followed the cellular PD-L1 expression as tested by interferon γ (IFNG) induction and siRNA knockdown of PD-L1. Further analysis in patients revealed that sPD-L1 significantly increased in blood following renal tumor resection. In addition, sPD-L1 correlated significantly with inflammation marker C-reactive protein (CRP) and with PD-L1 mRNA level in whole blood. These results indicate that the major source of sPD-L1 in blood may be peripheral blood cells and not primarily tumor tissue PD-L1.
