PURPOSE: Transcriptomic profiling was performed for microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) gastrointestinal tumors to determine the predictors of response to PD-1 blockade.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Thirty-six patients with MSI-H/dMMR gastrointestinal tumors, including gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, small intestine cancer, and pancreatic cancer, being treated with PD-1 blockade were analyzed. We conducted the transcriptomic analysis of gastrointestinal tumors using RNA sequencing data, including the consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) of colorectal cancer.
RESULTS: Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) demonstrated that non-responders had upregulations of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, hypoxia, mTORC1, TNF-α, KRAS, Wnt/β-catenin, TGF-β, and various metabolism-related signaling pathways. Meanwhile, the IFNγ pathway was enriched in responders. On the basis of the leading-edge analysis of GSEA, VEGF-A was significantly correlated with enriched pathways in non-responders. Patients with high VEGF-A expression, compared with those with low expression, had significantly shorter progression-free survival [PFS; median 4.8 months vs. not reached (NR), P = 0.032] and overall survival (median 11.1 months vs. NR, P = 0.045). Among 13 patients with colorectal cancer evaluable for CMS classification, the objective response rate was 100%, 0%, 0%, and 16.7% in CMS1, CMS2, CMS3, and CMS4, respectively. Patients with CMS1 had significantly longer PFS (NR vs. 4.8 months, P = 0.017) than those with CMS2, CMS3, or CMS4.
CONCLUSIONS: Several transcriptomic features, including CMS classification and related genes, were associated with response to PD-1 blockade in MSI-H/dMMR gastrointestinal tumors. These findings can help develop predictive biomarkers or combination immunotherapies.
