The Expression Pattern and Clinical Significance of the Immune Checkpoint Regulator VISTA in Human Breast Cancer.

Abstract:

Background:Immunotherapies targeting CTLA-4 and PD-1 have elicited promising responses in a variety of cancers. However, the relatively low response rates warrant the identification of additional immunosuppressive pathways. V domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) plays a critical role in antitumor immunity and is a valuable target in cancer immunotherapy. Methods:Here, we used single-cell RNA-seq to analyze the gene expression levels of 14897 cells from a breast cancer sample and its paired 7,320 normal cells. Then, we validated the protein expression of immune checkpoint molecules (VISTA, PD-1, PD-L1, TIGIT, TIM3, and LAG3) in 324 human breast cancer samples by immunohistochemistry and quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF) approaches. Results:Single cell RNA-seq results show a higher level of immune checkpoint VISTA expression in breast cancer tissue compared to adjacent normal tissue. We also found that VISTA expressed highest in breast cancer tissue than other immune-checkpoints. Immunohistochemical results showed that VISTA was detected with a membranous/cytoplasmic staining pattern in intratumoral immune cells and breast cancer cells. Additionally, VISTA was positively correlated with pathological grade, lymph node status and the levels of PD-1 according to the chi-square test or Fisher's test. Furthermore, VISTA expression was higher in CD68+ tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) than in CD4+ T cells, CD8+ cytotoxic T cells or CD20+ B cells. Conclusions:These findings therefore support the immunoregulatory role of VISTA in breast cancer and indicate that targeting VISTA may benefit breast cancer immunotherapy.
