Abstract in Portuguese
Objetivos: o carcinoma de células escamosas cutâneo (CEC) é o segundo câncer de pele mais comum entre os indivíduos de pele clara e é causado pela radiação UV. Os immune checkpoints, como PD-1 (Programmed Death) e seus ligantes, PD-L1 e PD-L2, são uma maneira eficaz de reativar a resposta imune antitumoral do hospedeiro em muitos tipos de câncer. O objetivo foi avaliar a presença do eixo PD-1: PD-L1 / PD-L2 e o infiltrado CD8+ associado no CEC de pele de cabeça e pescoço. Métodos: foram identificados 46 pacientes com CEC de alto risco. A coloração multiplex para PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2 e CD8 foi realizada e as imagens foram capturadas por um microscópio de epifluorescência. As positividades PD-1, PD-L1 e PD-L2 foram pontuadas com base nos valores de corte determinados como > 1%, > 20% e > 50%. A curva ROC foi aplicada para definir o valor de corte estatisticamente mais significativo para recorrência e óbito. Resultados: todos os resultados abaixo se referem à expressão em > 1% das células. A expressão de PD-1, PD-L1 e PD-L2 foi encontrada em 80,4% (37 de 46), 84,8% (39 de 46), 47,8% (22 de 46) pacientes, respectivamente. PD-1 / PD-L1, PD-1 / PD-L2 e PD-L1 / PD-L2 colocalizados em 80,4% (37 de 46), 45,7% (21 de 46) e 47,8% (22 de 46) pacientes, respectivamente. Todos os pacientes apresentaram infiltração de CD8+ em algum grau. Nesse infiltrado, PD-1 / PD-L1, PD-1 / PD-L2 e PD-1 / PD-L1 / PD-L2 foram colocalizados em 97,8% (45 de 46), 82,6% (38 de 46) e 82,6% (38 de 46) pacientes, respectivamente. Conclusão: o eixo PD-1: PDL1 / PD-L2 é muito expresso no CEC de pele. Os presentes achados apoiam a investigação do bloqueio dessa via nesse tipo de tumor.

Abstract in English
Objectives: cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common skin cancer among caucasians and is caused by UV radiation. Blockade of immune checkpoint axes, such as programmed cell death 1 (PD1) and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, is an effective way to reactivate the host anti-tumor immune response across many cancer types. Our aim was to assess the presence of the PD-1: PD-L1/PD-L2 axis and associated CD8+ infiltrate in cSCC of the head and neck. Methods: 46 patients with high-risk cSCC were identified. Multiplex staining for PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, and CD8 was performed and images were captured by an epifluorescence microscope. PD1, PD-L1, and PD-L2 positivity were scored based on cutoff values of > 1%, > 20% and > 50%. ROC curve method was applied to define the most statistically significant cutoff value for recurrence and death. Results: all results below refer to the expression in > 1% of the cells. PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression was found in 80.4% (37 of 46), 84.8% (39 of 46), 47.8% (22 of 46) patients, respectively. PD-1/PD-L1, PD-1/PD-L2 and PD-L1/PD-L2 co-localized in 80.4% (37 of 46), 45.7% (21 of 46) and 47.8% (22 of 46) patients, respectively. All patients had CD8+ infiltration. In this infiltrated, PD-1/PD-L1, PD-1/PD-L2 and PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 co-localized in 97.8% (45 of 46), 82.6% (38 of 46) and 82.6% (38 of 46) patients, respectively. Conclusion: the PD-1:PD-L1/PD-L2 axis is highly activated in cSCC. Our findings support further studies on the use of pathway blockade in this tumor type.
