Abstract 4925
Background
CD73 is an enzyme involved in the conversion of extracellular AMP into adenosine. Adenosine inhibits T lymphocytes, contributing to immune escape. CD73 promotes proliferation and migration and has been associated to a negative prognosis in various cancers. Data are limited on its role in metastatic NSCLC, particularly with genetic drivers.
Methods
We collected patients (pts) with EGFR Mutant (EM), ALK Rearranged (AR) and Wild Type (WT) metastatic NSCLC treated outside trials at our Institution between 2010 and 2018. Cases without tissue samples were excluded. CD73 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry (Ab133582 ABCAM). Semiquantitative H score (HS) was calculated multiplying the membrane intensity score (0-3) by the % of stained cells to yield a value of 0–300. Median value of HS was chosen as a cutoff. Overall Survival (OS) was estimated through Kaplan-Meier method. After a gene expression profiling on TCGA NSCLC datasets (n = 488), we divided EM, AR, WT cases according to CD73 median level. Cibersort analysis was performed in these series to profile the immune infiltrate.
Results
Fifty-four EM, 28 AR and 40 WT NSCLCs were identified. Median HS was 0 for EM and WT, 100 for AR cases. No imbalances in CD73 expression emerged according to main clinico-pathological variables. EM pts with a high HS showed a trend towards a worse OS (23.4 vs 39.5 months, p .2237); on the contrary, high HS had a non-significant positive prognostic role in AR (53.3 vs 25.1 months, p .1263) and WT pts (59.6 vs 18.7 months, p .5063). In accordance with our data, we observed some differences among the CD73 high subgroups profiling infiltrate of TCGA cases: WT were enriched in Treg and resting dendritic cells (DC), AR showed an increase in M1 macrophages, EM had a reduction in activated NK cells along with an increase in activated DC. Nanostring is ongoing on our series.
Conclusions
CD73 expression seems to have a different prognostic role for EM, AR and WT metastatic NSCLC. In particular, the trend towards a better outcome for AR cohort is a novel finding, potentially supported by a specific inflammatory infiltrate. Despite the small number of analyzed cases, CD73 role in NSCLC different subgroups warrants further investigation. Nanostring results will be presented.
