Programmed death-ligand 1, commonly abbreviated PD-L1, is a protein with an important role in immune system regulation and cancer.
Normally, PD-L1 on cells binds with programmed cell death 1 on the T lymphocytes.[1]
PD-L1 is also known as CD274.[2]
General
- IHC testing using a PD-L1 antibody (demonstrating positive tumour cells) predicts response to anti-PD-L1 drugs.[3]
Background
Cytotoxic T cell function is regulated by receptor pairs found on the tumour and lymphocyte:[1]
| Function | Tumour cell | T cell |
|---|---|---|
| Antigen presentation | MHC | TCR |
| Signal inhibition | PD-1 | PD-L1 (CD274), PD-L2 (CD273) |
Prognosis
- Good prognosis - in high-grade ovarian serous carcinoma, associated with tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes.[4]
Drugs
- Atezolizumab.[3]
- Durvalumab.
Anti-PD-L1 drugs - use
PD-L1 antibodies are being used to treat:[5]
- Malignant melanoma.
- Non-small cell lung cancer.
- Associated with response predicted by tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes and PD-L1 IHC positivity of the tumour cells.[3]
- Renal cell carcinoma.
- Urothelial carcinoma.
