| Popis: | Background: Tumor surface PD-L1 (B7-H1) signals through T-cell surface receptor PD-1 to suppress antitumor immunity. PD-1 inhibitors like pembrolizumab block this pathway to prevent tumor escape from immunosurveillance. These PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors achieve objective response in 20-30% of patients with melanoma (1-3). As the majority of these patients are resistant to this treatment, there is a critical need to combat PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor resistance in melanoma. What is the mechanism of PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor resistance in melanoma? Our group has reported that soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1, sB7-H1) is elevated in the serum of patients with PD-1 inhibitor-resistant melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (4). We have also shown that soluble PD-L1 is produced by cleavage from other tumor types and leads to apoptosis in CD8+ T-cells (5). The aim of this study is to confirm the source of sPD-L1 in human melanoma and its relation to outcomes. Methods: B7H1-expressing transgenic melanoma cells (Mel-B7H1) were treated with an array of protease inhibitors over 24 hours. Cells were then pelleted and supernatants were analyzed by ELISA for sPD-L1 (sB7-H1) production. Tumor serum samples were also analyzed by ELISA for sPD-L1 production.Tumor pathology slides from patients with melanoma (serum donors from the above study) were stained by immunohistochemistry with antibodies against proteases ADAM10 or ADAM17. Slides were visualized by microscopy for the presence of these antigens. Activated human CD8+ T-cells were cultured with recombinant human B7-H1 (PD-L1) protein, sPD-L1-rich, or sPD-L1-depleted supernatants from a tumor cell line in the presence of placebo or PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor antibodies. Cell survival was measured at 48 hours by flow cytometry.Results: ADAM10 inhibitor GI254023X, ADAM17 inhibitor TAPI-0, and broad metalloprotease inhibitor TAPI-2 inhibited Mel-B7H1 production of sB7H1 (p Citation Format: Jacob J.
