Role of evaluating tumor‑infiltrating lymphocytes, programmed death‑1 ligand 1 and mismatch repair proteins expression in malignant mesothelioma

Abstract: The tumor immune microenvironment (TME) and immune checkpoints have been reported to serve a role in the pathogenesis of malignant mesothelioma (MM) and treatment outcome. Additionally, mismatch Repair (MMR) deficiency appears to enhance the response to checkpoints blockade in several tumors. The aim of the present study was to analyze programmed death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in MM and to characterize the TME. This could help to understand the immune response, and evaluate its prognostic and predictive v… Show more

“…In the recently published PROMISE-MESO trial, 48.9% of the patient had less than 1% PD-L1 expression, 28.2% had 1-20% and 18.5% more than 20% PD-L1 expression ( 96 ). Another study described 73% to be positive (> 1%) and 27% negative (<1%) ( 97 ). Inaguma et al.…”

“…Across all histologic subtypes, however, an increasing balance of M2 macrophages relative to lymphocyte infiltration has been shown to be predictive of shorter survival (16,20). Among lymphocytes, an increased proportion of CD8 relative to CD4 T cells has been associated with shorter survival (16,24,25). However, this effect was found to be reversed following neoadjuvant chemotherapy in one early study (26).…”

“…In general, MPM displays an immunosuppressive microenvironment mediated by M2 macrophages and characterized by high lymphocyte infiltration (Table 1) (15,25). This immunosuppressive phenotype is more common in non-epithelioid MPM (20) and as a result the degree of overall macrophage infiltration has been associated with shorter survival in non-epithelioid MPM alone (14,15).…”
