Plasma soluble PD-L1 and STAT3 predict the prognosis in diffuse large B cell lymphoma patients.

Abstract:

:Purpose: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common B cell lymphomas, which displays heterogeneous pathologies. Programmed cell death 1/ programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) plays an essential role in immunosuppression in multiple malignancies. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-positive patients also have an independently inferior clinical outcome. However, there are no reports on the effect of plasma soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1) combined with plasma STAT3 on the prognosis of DLBCL. In this study, we investigate the relationships between plasma sPD-L1 combined with STAT3 and clinical prognosis of DLBCL. Methods: Levels of plasma sPD-L1 and STAT3 were quantified using ELISA in eighty-seven DLBCL patients. Multiplexed immunofluorescence staining was performed to visualize the expression of PD-L1 in twenty-nine matched FFPE specimens from all patients. Results: The survival analysis revealed that the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in high sPD-L1 level group were poorer than that in low sPD-L1 level group (PFS, P < 0.001; OS, P < 0.001). Similarly, the PFS and OS in high STAT3 level group were also poorer than that in low STAT3 level group. Multivariate cox regression analysis showed that both high sPD-L1 and high STAT3 levels were the independent prognostic factors negatively affecting survival. In addition, patients with DLBCL having high levels of both sPD-L1 and STAT3 had a worse outcome than those patients having any one high or low levels of both (P < 0.001). Conclusions: We therefore revealed that high levels of plasma sPD-L1 and STAT3 are associated with inferior outcome for DLBCL patients, suggesting that combined measurement of their levels in plasma may be a promising prognostic strategy for DLBCL patients.
