    BACKGROUND/AIM: This study evaluated the association between programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and prognosis in patients with cervical cancer treated with postoperative radiation and the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) on this association. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on biopsy specimens from 42 patients who did not receive NAC and from paired samples before (biopsies) and after (resected tissues) chemotherapy from 46 patients who received NAC to determine the association of PD-L1 with radiotherapy outcomes. RESULTS: In the non-NAC group, patients with ≥10% PD-L1-expressing tumor cells prior to treatment had better recurrence-free survival (RFS) than those with <10% PD-L1-expressing tumor cells (p=0.001). In the NAC group, RFS was significantly lower (p=0.005) in the group with a ≥5% reduction of PD-L1 expression in tumor cells after chemotherapy than in those with <5% reduction. In multivariate analysis, only PD-L1 expression (non-NAC group) and the change in PD-L1 expression (NAC group) were associated with RFS. CONCLUSION: Low PD-L1 expression in a cervical tumor prior to treatment was identified as a risk factor for a poor outcome after postoperative radiotherapy. Furthermore, NAC induces an immunological shift that reduces PD-L1 levels in tumor cells, thereby negatively impacting treatment outcomes.

     View Summary

    The application of deep learning algorithms to predict the molecular profiles of various cancers from digital images of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained slides has been reported in recent years, mainly for gastric and colon cancers. In this study, we investigated the potential use of H&E-stained endometrial cancer slide images to predict the associated mismatch repair (MMR) status. H&E-stained slide images were collected from 127 cases of the primary lesion of endometrial cancer. After digitization using a Nanozoomer virtual slide scanner (Hamamatsu Photonics), we segmented the scanned images into 5397 tiles of 512 × 512 pixels. The MMR proteins (PMS2, MSH6) were immunohistochemically stained, classified into MMR proficient/deficient, and annotated for each case and tile. We trained several neural networks, including convolutional and attention-based networks, using tiles annotated with the MMR status. Among the tested networks, ResNet50 exhibited the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.91 for predicting the MMR status. The constructed prediction algorithm may be applicable to other molecular profiles and useful for pre-screening before implementing other, more costly genetic profiling tests.

    Abstract Background Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women and early detection is crucial for its successful treatment. We previously showed that cytological examination combined with genetic analysis using liquid-based cytology (LBC) samples improved the diagnostic sensitivity of EC. Methods Among 218 individuals who underwent endometrial screening by LBC, 208 samples were analysed by cancer-panel sequencing. Excluding 13 samples with low sequence coverage, we further analysed 195 samples. Results Among the 195 women analysed, 39 and 15 were eventually shown to suffer from malignant endometrial and non-endometrial neoplasms, respectively. Driver mutation(s) were found in nine of the 15 cytology-negative patients with endometrial malignancy, corroborating that combination of cytological and genetic analyses should increase the sensitivity of the diagnosis of malignant endometrial neoplasms. Importantly, driver alterations were found in 32 of 125 women without malignant or premalignant diseases, which raises caution for the interpretation of genetic alterations detected in the endometrial samples. Comparison between the driver mutations in the 32 subjects and those in the 29 endometrial malignancies unveiled that the number of mutations and mutations in PTEN, CTNNB1, and TP53 may be applied for the assessment and prediction of development of EC. Conclusions The genetic analysis combined with liquid-based cytology is useful to improve the diagnostic sensitivity of endometrial neoplasms. However, caution must be taken when cancer-associated mutation(s) are detected in the genetic analysis. Further investigation may clarify the risk of malignant endometrial neoplasms in women with driver mutation(s).

     View Summary

    The aim of this study was to establish an efficient HPV type 16-targeting cancer immunotherapy. HPV16-derived viral proteins E6 and E7 are expressed in cancerous cells through the progression of the disease and have a role in carcinogenesis but are not expressed in normal cells. In this study, we generated a novel HPV 16 E6 and E7 gene plasmid containing oligomannose liposomes (OML-HPV). We compared the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) induction efficiency of OML-HPV and that of standard liposome-HPV16 E6 and E7 DNA complex. HPV16 E6-specific CTLs could be generated from HPV 16-positive cervical carcinoma patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells by stimulating OML-HPV, but could not by stimulating standard liposome-HPV 16 E6, E7 DNA complex. These results indicate that OML-HPV is a more effective approach than DNA vaccination using standard liposomes, and that a novel HLA-A24-restricted peptide, E6 66-74, might be a suitable target of cervical cancer immunotherapy.
