The upregulation of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) may play a role in gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC).
To study PD-L1 and HER-2 expression and prognosis in GAC.
PD-L1 and HER2 expression was determined in tumor tissues of 75 patients with GAC. The correlations between PD-L1, HER2 expression, and clinicopathological factors were analyzed.
The positive expression rate for PD-L1 was 57.3% (43/75) and the HER2 over-expression rate was 17.3% (13/75). PD-L1 expression negatively correlated with the grade of GAC differentiation (r =-0.26, P<0.05). Approximately 85% of HER2-positive GACs were found to be PD-L1-positive and PD-L1 expression positively correlated with HER2 overexpression. The TNM stage and combined HER2 and PD-L1 expression were independent prognostic factors affecting the survival of patients with GAC. The median overall survival and recurrence-free survival of groups I (HER2 overexpression and PD-L1 positive), II (HER2 overexpression and PD-L1 negative), III (No HER2 overexpression and PD-L1 positive) and IV (No HER2 overexpression and PD-L1 negative) were (47 (17-77), 15 (0-44), 81 (62-101), and 78 (60-98) months, respectively.
PD-L1 expression is upregulated in more than half of patients with GAC. Anti-PD-L1 treatment combined with anti-HER2 therapy may benefit patients with locally advanced GAC with HER2 overexpression.
程序性死亡配体 1(PD-L1)和表皮生长因子受体 2(HER2)的上调可能在胃腺癌(GAC)中发挥作用。
研究 GAC 中 PD-L1 和 HER-2 的表达与预后。
检测 75 例 GAC 患者肿瘤组织中 PD-L1 和 HER2 的表达情况。分析 PD-L1、HER2 表达与临床病理因素的相关性。
PD-L1 阳性表达率为 57.3%(43/75),HER2 过表达率为 17.3%(13/75)。PD-L1 表达与 GAC 分化程度呈负相关(r=-0.26,P<0.05)。约 85%的 HER2 阳性 GAC 为 PD-L1 阳性,且 PD-L1 表达与 HER2 过表达呈正相关。TNM 分期和联合 HER2 和 PD-L1 表达是影响 GAC 患者生存的独立预后因素。组 I(HER2 过表达和 PD-L1 阳性)、II(HER2 过表达和 PD-L1 阴性)、III(无 HER2 过表达和 PD-L1 阳性)和 IV(无 HER2 过表达和 PD-L1 阴性)的中位总生存期和无复发生存期分别为(47(17-77)、15(0-44)、81(62-101)和 78(60-98)个月。
超过一半的 GAC 患者 PD-L1 表达上调。抗 PD-L1 治疗联合抗 HER2 治疗可能有益于 HER2 过表达的局部晚期 GAC 患者。
