Abstract

AbstractEfficient predictive biomarkers are needed for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Testing the predictive value of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or its ligand 1 (PD-L1) has shown contrasting results. Here, we aim to validate the predictive value of PD-L1 SNPs in advanced NSCLC patients treated with ICIs as well as to define the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of the identified SNP candidate. rs822336 efficiently predicted response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy in advanced non-oncogene addicted NSCLC patients as compared to rs2282055 and rs4143815. rs822336 mapped to the promoter/enhancer region of PD-L1, differentially affecting the induction of PD-L1 expression in human NSCLC cell lines as well as their susceptibility to HLA class I antigen matched PBMCs incubated with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab. The induction of PD-L1 expression by rs822336 was mediated by a competitive allele-specificity binding of two identified transcription factors: C/EBPβ and NFIC. As a result, silencing of C/EBPβ and NFIC differentially regulated the induction of PD-L1 expression in human NSCLC cell lines carrying different rs822336 genotypes. Analysis by binding microarray further validated the competitive allele-specificity binding of C/EBPβ and NFIC to PD-L1 promoter/enhancer region based on rs822336 genotype in human NSCLC cell lines. These findings have high clinical relevance since identify rs822336 and induction of PD-L1 expression as novel biomarkers for predicting anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based immunotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients.
