Somatic activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are one of the most common oncogenic drivers in cancers such as non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), metastatic colorectal cancer, glioblastoma, head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer. Molecular-targeted agents against EGFR signaling pathways have shown robust clinical efficacy, but patients inevitably experience acquired resistance. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have exhibited durable anti-tumor responses in a subset of patients across multiple cancer types, their efficacy is limited in cancers harboring activating gene alterations of EGFR. Increasing studies have demonstrated that upregulation of new B7/CD28 family members such as B7-H3, B7x and HHLA2, is associated with EGFR signaling and may contribute to resistance to EGFR-targeted therapies by creating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). In this review, we discuss the regulatory effect of EGFR signaling on the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and new B7/CD28 family member pathways. Understanding these interactions may inform combination therapeutic strategies and potentially overcome the current challenge of resistance to EGFR-targeted therapies. We also summarize clinical data of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies in EGFR-mutated cancers, as well as ongoing clinical trials of combination of EGFR-targeted therapies and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapies.
表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)的体细胞激活突变是诸如非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)、转移性结直肠癌、胶质母细胞瘤、头颈癌、胰腺癌和乳腺癌等癌症中最常见的致癌驱动因素之一。针对EGFR信号通路的分子靶向药物已显示出强大的临床疗效,但患者不可避免地会出现获得性耐药。尽管靶向PD-1/PD-L1的免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)在多种癌症类型的一部分患者中表现出持久的抗肿瘤反应,但其在具有EGFR激活基因改变的癌症中的疗效有限。越来越多的研究表明,新的B7/CD28家族成员如B7-H3、B7x和HHLA2的上调与EGFR信号传导相关,并可能通过创建免疫抑制性肿瘤微环境(TME)导致对EGFR靶向治疗的耐药。在本综述中,我们讨论了EGFR信号传导对PD-1/PD-L1通路和新的B7/CD28家族成员通路的调节作用。了解这些相互作用可能为联合治疗策略提供依据,并有可能克服当前对EGFR靶向治疗耐药的挑战。我们还总结了EGFR突变癌症中抗PD-1/PD-L1治疗以及EGFR靶向治疗与抗PD-1/PD-L1免疫治疗联合的正在进行的临床试验的临床数据。
