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
- In theory, positive PD-L1 immunostaining predicts response to anti-PD-L1 drugs.[3]
- Carcinoma cell is considered "PD-L1 positive" if the cell membrane is partially or completely stained. [4]
- It is, however, more complex than that. Some tumour types are invariably positive, e.g. classical Hodgkin lymphoma, so testing is unhelpful. In contrast, tumors such as malignant melanoma respond regardless of PD-L1 immunoexpression.
- The plethora of companion diagnostics developed for each PD-1/ PD-L1 inhibitor has created challenges, as these assays include different IHC antibody clones, staining protocols and platforms, scoring systems, and cutoffs for defining positivity.
- Nivolumab - 28-8 (Dako)
- Pembrolizumab - 22C3 (Dako)
- Aterolizumab - SP142 (Ventana)
- Durvalumab - SP263 (Ventana)
- Avelumab - 73-10 (Dako)
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.[5]
Drugs - Immune checkpoint inhibitors
- PD-1 inhibitors:
- Nivolumab (Opdivo, Bristol-Myers Squibb).
- Pembrolizumab (Keytruda, Merck).
- PD-L1 inhibitors:
- Atezolizumab (Tecentriq, Roche).[3]
- Durvalumab (Imfinzi, AstraZeneca).
- Avelumab (Bavencio, Merck/Pfizer).
Anti-PD-L1 drugs - use
PD-L1 antibodies are being used to treat:[6]
- 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.
- Merkel cell carcinoma
- Acute myeloid leukemia
