Clinical and Prognostic Value of Antigen-Presenting Cells with PD-L1/PD-L2 Expression in Ovarian Cancer Patients

The latest literature demonstrates the predominant role of the programmed cell death axis (PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2) in ovarian cancer (OC) pathogenesis. However, data concerning this issue is ambiguous. Our research aimed to evaluate the clinical importance of PD-L1/PD-L2 expression in OC environments. We...

We evaluated the role of PD-L1/PD-L2 in OC patients (<i>n</i> = 53).

The data were correlated with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of OC patients. The concentration of soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1) and PD-1 in the plasma and PF were determined by ELISA. We established an accumulation of PD-L1<sup>+</sup>/PD-L2<sup>+</sup> mDCs, pDCs, and MA in the tumor microenvironment. We showed an elevated level of sPD-L1 in the PF of OC patients in comparison to plasma and healthy subjects. sPD-L1 levels in PF showed a positive relationship with Ca125 concentration. Moreover, we established an association between higher sPD-L1 levels in PF and shorter survival of OC patients. An accumulation of PD-L1<sup>+</sup>/PD-L2<sup>+</sup> mDCs, pDCs, and MA in the TT and high sPD-L1 levels in PF could represent the hallmark of immune regulation in OC patients.Anna PawłowskaAgnieszka KwiatkowskaDorota SuszczykAgata ChudzikRafał TarkowskiBartłomiej BarczyńskiJan KotarskiIwona WertelMDPI AGarticleovarian cancertumor microenvironmentimmune suppressionprogrammed cell death pathwayimmunotherapyBiology (General)QH301-705.5ChemistryQD1-999ENInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, Vol 22, Iss 11563, p 11563 (2021)
