Immunohistochemical expression of programmed death-ligand 1 and CD8 in glioblastomas

Background Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary malignant brain tumor in adults and is characterized by poor prognosis. Immune evasion occurs via programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)/programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) interaction. Some malignant tumors have responded to PD-L1/PD-1 blockade treat...

This study discussed the expression of PD-L1 and CD8 in glioblastomas. Methods Thirty cases of glioblastoma were stained immunohistochemically for PD-L1 and CD8, where PD-L1 expression in glioblastoma tumor tissue above 1% is considered positive and CD-8 is expressed in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. The expression of each marker was correlated with clinicopathologic parameters. Survival analysis was conducted to correlate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with PD-L1 and CD8 expression. Results Diffuse/fibrillary PD-L1 was expressed in all cases (mean expression, 57.6%), whereas membranous PD-L1 was expressed in six of 30 cases. CD8-positive tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (CD8+ TILs) had a median expression of 10%. PD-L1 and CD8 were positively correlated (p = .001). High PD-L1 expression was associated with worse PFS and OS (p = .026 and p = .001, respectively). Correlation of CD8+ TILs percentage with age, sex, tumor site, laterality, and outcomes were statistically insignificant. Multivariate analysis revealed that PD-L1 was the only independent factor that affected prognosis. Conclusions PD-L1 expression in patients with glioblastoma is robust; higher PD-L1 expression is associated with lower CD8+ TIL expression and worse prognosis.Dina Mohamed El SammanManal Mohamed El MahdyHala Sobhy CoushaZeinab Abd El Rahman KamarKhaled Abdel Karim MohamedHoda Hassan Abou GabalKorean Society of Pathologists & the Korean Society for Cytopathologyarticleglioblastomaprogrammed death ligand 1tumor-infiltrating lymphocytescd8survival analysisPathologyRB1-214ENKOJournal of Pathology and Translational Medicine, Vol 55, Iss 6, Pp 388-397 (2021)
