Abstrakt: Background: Immune profiling has become an important tool for identifying predictive, prognostic and response biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitors from tumor microenvironment (TME). We aimed to build a multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) panel to apply to formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues in mice tumors and to explore the programmed cell death protein 1/ programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) axis. Results: An automated eight-color mIF panel was evaluated to study the TME using seven antibodies, including cytokeratin 19, CD3e, CD8a, CD4, PD-1, PD-L1, F4-80 and DAPI, then was applied in six mice lung adenocarcinoma samples. Cell phenotypes were quantified by software to explore the co-localization and spatial distribution between immune cells within the TME. This mice panel was successfully optimized and applied to a small cohort of mice lung adenocarcinoma cases. Image analysis showed a sparse degree of immune cell expression pattern in this cohort. From the spatial analysis we found that T cells and macrophages expressing PD-L1 were close to the malignant cells and other immune cells. Conclusions: Comprehensive immune profiling using mIF in translational studies improves our ability to correlate the PD-1/PD-L1 axis and spatial distribution of lymphocytes and macrophages in mouse lung cancer cells to provide new cues for immunotherapy, that can be translated to human tumors for cancer intervention.
