Abstract

Purpose: Ovarian cancer often progresses by disseminating to the peritoneal cavity, but how the tumor cells evade host immunity during this process is poorly understood. Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) is known to suppress immune system and to be expressed in cancer cells. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the function of PD-L1 in peritoneal dissemination. Experimental Design: Ovarian cancer cases were studied by microarray and immunohistochemistry. PD-L1 expression in mouse ovarian cancer cell line in various conditions was assessed by flow cytometry. PD-L1–overexpression cell line and PD-L1–depleted cell line were generated, and cytolysis by CTLs was analyzed, and alterations in CTLs were studied by means of timelapse and microarray. These cell lines were injected intraperitoneally to syngeneic immunocompetent mice. Results: Microarray and immunohistochemistry in human ovarian cancer revealed significant correlation between PD-L1 expression and peritoneal positive cytology. PD-L1 expression in mouse ovarian cancer cells was induced upon encountering lymphocytes in the course of peritoneal spread in vivo and coculture with lymphocytes in vitro. Tumor cell lysis by CTLs was attenuated when PD-L1 was overexpressed and promoted when it was silenced. PD-L1 overexpression inhibited gathering and degranulation of CTLs. Gene expression profile of CTLs caused by PD-L1–overexpressing ovarian cancer was associated with CTLs exhaustion. In mouse models, PD-L1 depletion resulted in inhibited tumor growth in the peritoneal cavity and prolonged survival. Conclusion: PD-L1 expression in tumor cell promotes peritoneal dissemination by repressing CTL function. PD-L1–targeted therapy is a promising strategy for preventing and treating peritoneal dissemination. Clin Cancer Res; 19(6); 1363–74. ©2012 AACR.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
