Abstract:
e16517 Background: LAG-3 (lymphocyte activation gene 3) is of interest as a target molecule for next-generation immune checkpoint inhibitors in several solid tumors, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The aim of this study is uncovering the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of the LAG-3-dominant RCC. Methods: Firstly, we performed an automated single-cell count for immunolabelled LAG-3, TIM-3 and TIGIT and TIME evaluation panel molecules (CD3, CD8, CD39, PD1, PDL1, Ctla4, CD68, CD163, CD47, Ki67, CD73, IDO1, GLUT1, CD34 and D2-40) to 105 primary ccRCC tumor samples and created the new classification model. The TIME and clinical value of LAG-3-dominant RCC were evaluated. Secondly, The TIME features of LAG-3 dominant RCC in metastatic sites was evaluated in 47 metastatic samples. Lastly, mRNA seq data from the public cohort and clinical trial data (RCC, n = 1144, other solid cancers, n = 3691) was analyzed with the digital cytometry and evaluated whether the TIME features of LAG-3 dominant RCC are RCC-specific or applicable to other solid tumors. Results: In our cohort and our validated cohort (n = 96), the LAG-3 group had significantly shorter OS (p = 0.037 and p = 0.003). The LAG-3 high expression RCC also showed shorter OS in the TCGA RCC cohort (p = 0.016). As the result of TIME evaluation, LAG-3 dominant RCCs had statistically high level of CD8, high CD39+CD8+, and high M2 macrophages. In metastasis samples, LAG-3 dominant RCCs preserved high level of CD8, high CD39+CD8+. In public mRNA seq analysis, LAG-3 dominant RCCs showed high level of CD8, high CD8+Tregs and high M2 macrophages. High Tregs in LAG-3 dominant tumor were seen in melanoma, HCC and prostate cancer. High M2 macrophage TIME in LAG-3 dominant tumor was unique to RCC, not seen in other solid cancer. Conclusions: LAG-3 dominant RCC had poor prognosis and could exhibit a unique, immunosuppressive TIME.
