RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Follicular lymphoma (FL) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) are indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas (iNHL). Median survival for iNHL is approximately 20 years. Because standard treatments are not curative, patients often receive multiple lines of therapy with associated toxicity-rationally designed, combination therapies with curative potential are needed. The immunomodulatory drug lenalidomide was evaluated in combination with rituximab for the frontline treatment of FL in the phase 3 RELEVANCE study. Ibrutinib, an oral Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is active in NHL and was evaluated in combination with lenalidomide, rituximab, and ibrutinib (IRR) in a phase 1 study. METHODS: The authors conducted an open-label, phase 2 clinical trial of IRR for previously untreated FL and MZL. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) at 24 months. RESULTS: This study included 48 participants with previously untreated FL grade 1-3a (N = 38), or MZL (N = 10). Participants received 12, 28-day cycles of lenalidomide (15 mg, days 1-21 cycle 1; 20 mg, cycles 2-12), rituximab (375 mg/m2 weekly in cycle 1; day 1 cycles 2-12), and ibrutinib 560 mg daily. With a median follow-up of 65.3 months, the estimated PFS at 24 months was 78.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 68.0%-91.4%) and 60-month PFS was 59.7% (95% CI, 46.6%-76.4%). One death occurred unrelated to disease progression. Grade 3-4 adverse events were observed in 64.6%, including 50% with grade 3-4 rash. CONCLUSIONS: IRR is highly active as frontline therapy for FL and MZL. Compared to historical results with lenalidomide and rituximab, PFS is similar with higher grade 3-4 toxicity, particularly rash. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02532257).

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is treated to prevent subsequent ipsilateral invasive breast cancer (iIBC). However, many DCIS lesions will never become invasive. To prevent overtreatment, we need to distinguish harmless from potentially hazardous DCIS. We investigated whether the immune microenvironment (IME) in DCIS correlates with transition to iIBC. METHODS: Patients were derived from a Dutch population-based cohort of 10,090 women with pure DCIS with a median follow-up time of 12 years. Density, composition and proximity to the closest DCIS cell of CD20+ B-cells, CD3+CD8+ T-cells, CD3+CD8- T-cells, CD3+FOXP3+ regulatory T-cells, CD68+ cells, and CD8+Ki67+ T-cells was assessed with multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) with digital whole-slide analysis and compared between primary DCIS lesions of 77 women with subsequent iIBC (cases) and 64 without (controls). RESULTS: Higher stromal density of analysed immune cell subsets was significantly associated with higher grade, ER negativity, HER-2 positivity, Ki67 ≥ 14%, periductal fibrosis and comedonecrosis (P < 0.05). Density, composition and proximity to the closest DCIS cell of all analysed immune cell subsets did not differ between cases and controls. CONCLUSION: IME features analysed by mIF in 141 patients from a well-annotated cohort of pure DCIS with long-term follow-up are no predictors of subsequent iIBC, but do correlate with other factors (grade, ER, HER2 status, Ki-67) known to be associated with invasive recurrences.

RESUMEN

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM) is a rare but aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options. VEGF inhibition enhances efficacy of immune-checkpoint inhibitors by reworking the immunosuppressive tumor milieu. Efficacy and safety of combined PD-L1 (atezolizumab) and VEGF (bevacizumab) blockade (AtezoBev) was assessed in 20 patients with advanced and unresectable MPeM with progression or intolerance to prior platinum-pemetrexed chemotherapy. The primary endpoint of confirmed objective response rate per RECISTv1.1 by independent radiology review was 40% [8/20; 95% confidence interval (CI), 19.1-64.0] with median response duration of 12.8 months. Six (75%) responses lasted for >10 months. Progression-free and overall survival at one year were 61% (95% CI, 35-80) and 85% (95% CI, 60-95), respectively. Responses occurred notwithstanding low tumor mutation burden and PD-L1 expression status. Baseline epithelial-mesenchymal transition gene expression correlated with therapeutic resistance/response (r = 0.80; P = 0.0010). AtezoBev showed promising and durable efficacy in patients with advanced MPeM with an acceptable safety profile, and these results address a grave unmet need for this orphan disease. SIGNIFICANCE: Efficacy of atezolizumab and bevacizumab vis-à-vis response rates and survival in advanced peritoneal mesothelioma previously treated with chemotherapy surpassed outcomes expected with conventional therapies. Biomarker analyses uncovered epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype as an important resistance mechanism and showcase the value and feasibility of performing translationally driven clinical trials in rare tumors.See related commentary by Aldea et al., p. 2674.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 2659.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The combination of programmed cell death protein-1 or programmed death-ligand 1 immune checkpoint blockade and chemotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of advanced NSCLC, but the mechanisms underlying this synergy remain incompletely understood. In this study, we explored the relationships between neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the immune microenvironment (IME) of resectable NSCLC to identify novel mechanisms by which chemotherapy may enhance the effect of immune checkpoint blockade. METHODS: Genomic, transcriptomic, and immune profiling data of 511 patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery (NCT) versus upfront surgery (US) were compared with determined differential characteristics of the IMEs derived from whole-exome sequencing (NCT = 18; US = 73), RNA microarray (NCT = 45; US = 202), flow cytometry (NCT = 17; US = 39), multiplex immunofluorescence (NCT = 10; US = 72), T-cell receptor sequencing (NCT = 16 and US = 63), and circulating cytokines (NCT = 18; US = 73). RESULTS: NCT was associated with increased infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and CD20+ B cells. Moreover, NCT was associated with increases in CD8+CD103+ and CD4+CD103+PD-1+TIM3- tissue resident memory T cells. Gene expression profiling supported memory function of CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. However, NCT did not affect T-cell receptor clonality, richness, or tumor mutational burden. Finally, NCT was associated with decreased plasma BDNF (TrkB) at baseline and week 4 after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Our study supports that, in the context of resectable NSCLC, neoadjuvant chemotherapy promotes antitumor immunity through T and B cell recruitment in the IME and through a phenotypic change toward cytotoxic and memory CD8+ and CD4+ memory helper T cells.

RESUMEN

STK11/LKB1 is among the most commonly inactivated tumor suppressors in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially in tumors harboring KRAS mutations. Many oncogenes promote immune escape, undermining the effectiveness of immunotherapies, but it is unclear whether the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, such as STK11/LKB1, exerts similar effects. In this study, we investigated the consequences of STK11/LKB1 loss on the immune microenvironment in a mouse model of KRAS-driven NSCLC. Genetic ablation of STK11/LKB1 resulted in accumulation of neutrophils with T-cell-suppressive effects, along with a corresponding increase in the expression of T-cell exhaustion markers and tumor-promoting cytokines. The number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was also reduced in LKB1-deficient mouse and human tumors. Furthermore, STK11/LKB1-inactivating mutations were associated with reduced expression of PD-1 ligand PD-L1 in mouse and patient tumors as well as in tumor-derived cell lines. Consistent with these results, PD-1-targeting antibodies were ineffective against Lkb1-deficient tumors. In contrast, treating Lkb1-deficient mice with an IL6-neutralizing antibody or a neutrophil-depleting antibody yielded therapeutic benefits associated with reduced neutrophil accumulation and proinflammatory cytokine expression. Our findings illustrate how tumor suppressor mutations can modulate the immune milieu of the tumor microenvironment, and they offer specific implications for addressing STK11/LKB1-mutated tumors with PD-1-targeting antibody therapies.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Myofibroblasts derived from fibroblasts in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis causes excessive and disordered deposition of matrix proteins, including collagen V, which can cause a Th17-mediated immune response and lead to apoptosis. However, whether the intrinsic ability of lung FBs to produce the matrix depends on their site-specific variations is not known. AIM: To investigate the link between Th17 and collagen V that maintains pulmonary remodeling in the peripheral lung microenvironment during the late stage of experimental pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS: Young male mice including wild Balb/c mice (BALB, n=10), wild C57 Black/6J mice (C57, n=10) and IL-17 receptor A knockout mice (KO, n=8), were sacrificed 21 days after treatment with bleomycin. Picrosirius red staining, immunohistochemistry for IL-17-related markers and "in situ" detection of apoptosis, immunofluorescence for collagen types I and V, primary cell cultures from tissue lung explants for RT-PCR and electron microscopy were used. RESULTS: The peripheral deposition of extracellular matrix components by myofibroblasts during the late stage is maintained in C57 mice compared with that in Balb mice and is not changed in the absence of IL-17 receptor A; however, the absence of IL-17 receptor A induces overexpression of type V collagen, amplifies the peripheral expression of IL-17 and IL-17-related cytokines and reduces peripheral lung fibroblast apoptosis. CONCLUSION: A positive feedback loop between the expression patterns of collagen V and IL-17 may coordinate the maintenance of peripheral collagen I in the absence of IL-17 receptor A in fibrosis-susceptible strains in a site-specific manner.

RESUMEN

There is evidence that sex and sex hormones influence the severity of asthma. Airway and lung parenchyma remodeling and the relationship of ultrastructural changes to airway responsiveness and inflammation in male, female, and oophorectomized mice (OVX) were analyzed in experimental chronic allergic asthma. Seventy-two BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups (n=24/each): male, female, and OVX mice, whose ovaries were removed 7 days before the start of sensitization. Each group was further randomized to be sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) or saline. Twenty-four hours after the last challenge, collagen fiber content in airways and lung parenchyma, the volume proportion of smooth muscle-specific actin in alveolar ducts and terminal bronchiole, the amount of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9, and the number of eosinophils and interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-ß levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were higher in female than male OVA mice. The response of OVX mice was similar to that of males, except that IL-5 remained higher. Nevertheless, after OVA provocation, airway responsiveness to methacholine was higher in males compared with females and OVX mice. In conclusion, sex influenced the remodeling process, but the mechanisms responsible for airway hyperresponsiveness seemed to differ from those related to remodeling.

RESUMEN

We tested the hypothesis that at the early phase of acute lung injury (ALI) the degree of endothelium injury may predict lung parenchyma remodelling. For this purpose, two models of extrapulmonary ALI induced by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (ALI-LPS) or cecal ligation and puncture (ALI-CLP) were developed in mice. At day 1, these models had similar degrees of lung mechanical compromise, epithelial damage, and intraperitoneal inflammation, but endothelial lesion was greater in ALI-CLP. A time course analysis revealed, at day 7: ALI-CLP had higher degrees of epithelial lesion, denudation of basement membrane, endothelial damage, elastic and collagen fibre content, neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), peritoneal fluid and blood, levels of interleukin-6, KC (murine analogue of IL-8), and transforming growth factor-ß in BALF. Conversely, the number of lung apoptotic cells was similar in both groups. In conclusion, the intensity of fibroelastogenesis was affected by endothelium injury in addition to the maintenance of epithelial damage and intraperitoneal inflammation.
