EXPRESSION AND CLINICAL CORRELATION OF PD-1/PD-L1 AND VE1(BRAFP.V600E) IN PEDIATRIC LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS

Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasm with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1) receptor and its ligand (PD-L1)   are overexpressed in LCH, but their clinical significance is unknown. We performed a clinical correlat...

description Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasm with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1) receptor and its ligand (PD-L1)   are overexpressed in LCH, but their clinical significance is unknown. We performed a clinical correlation study of PD-1/PD-L1 and VE1(BRAFp.V600E) expression in 131 children with LCH. Methods: A total of 111 samples were tested for PD-1/PD-L1 and 109 for VE1(BRAFp.V600E) mutant protein by immunohistochemistry. Results: PD-1, PD-L1 and VE1(BRAFp.V600E) positivity was observed in 40.5%, 31.53% and 55%, respectively.  PD-1/ PD-L1 expression showed no significant effect on the rate of disease reactivations, early response to therapy or late sequelae. The 5-year EFS was not statistically different between patients with PD-1 positive compared to those with PD-1 negative tumours (47.7% vs.58.8%, p=0.17). Similar 5-year EFS rates were also seen in those who were PD-L1 positive compared to PD-L1 negative cases (50.5% vs.55.5%, p=0.61). VE1(BRAFp.V600E) positivity was associated with a significantly higher frequency of risk-organ involvement (p=0.0053), but no significant effect on early response to therapy or rates of reactivations or late sequelae. Conclusions: Our study showed no significant correlation between VE1(BRAFp.V600E) expression, PD-1 and PD-L1 a clinical outcome in pediatric LCH.
