Pulmonary carcinoid (PC) tumors are rare tumors that account for approximately 1% of all lung cancers. The primary treatment option is surgery, while there is no standard treatment for metastatic disease. As the number of PCs diagnosed yearly is increasing, there is a need to establish novel therapeutic options. This study aimed to investigate programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in PC tumors since blocking of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is a promising therapeutic option in various other malignancies. A total of 168 PC patients treated between 1990 and 2013 were collected from the Finnish biobanks. After re-evaluation of the tumors, 131 (78%) were classified as typical carcinoid (TC) and 37 (22%) as atypical carcinoid (AC) tumors. Primary tumor samples were immunohistochemically labeled for PD-1, PD-L1 and CD8. High PD-1 expression was detected in 16% of the tumors. PD-L1 expression was detected in 7% of TC tumors; all AC tumors were PD-L1 negative. PD-L1 expression was associated with mediastinal lymph-node metastasis at the time of diagnosis (P = 0.021) as well as overall metastatic potential of the tumor (P = 0.010). Neither PD-1 expression, PD-L1 expression nor CD8+ T cell density was associated with survival. In conclusion, PD-1 and PD-L1 were expressed in a small proportion of PC tumors and PD-L1 expression was associated with metastatic disease. Targeting of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway with immune checkpoint inhibitors may thus offer a treatment option for a subset of PC patients.

Quantitative multiplexed analysis of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and arginase-1 (ARG1) expression and myeloid cell infiltration in colorectal cancer
Elomaa, Hanna; Härkönen, Jouni; Väyrynen, Sara A.; Ahtiainen, Maarit; Ogino, Shuji; Nowak, Jonathan A.; Lau, Mai Chan; Helminen, Olli; Wirta, Erkki-Ville; Seppälä, Toni T.; Böhm, Jan; Mecklin, Jukka-Pekka; Kuopio, Teijo; Väyrynen, Juha P. (Elsevier, 2024)Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and Arginase-1 (ARG1) are amino acid metabolizing enzymes frequently highly expressed in cancer. Their expression may deplete essential amino acids, lead to immunosuppression, and promote ... -
