Spatial Proximity and Relative Distribution of Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes and Macrophages Predict Survival in Melanoma
Tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in primary cutaneous melanoma (CM) progression. Although the role of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) density has been known for a long time, its spatial distribution and impact with or without tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) remain controversial. Herein, we investigated spatial proximity between tumor cells and immune cells in 113 primary CM and its correlation with disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The study cohort included clinical stage II (n 1â4 79) and stage III (n 1â4 34) primary CM with a Breslow thickness of >2 mm (with a median age of 64 years, including 72 men and 41 women). In univariate models, patients with SOX10ĂŸ melanoma cells with high proximity to CD8ĂŸ TILs in a 20 mm radius showed longer DFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.58; 95% CI, 0.36e0.93; P 1â4 .025) and OS (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.32e0.92; P 1â4 .023). Furthermore, at multivariate combined analysis, patients with SOX10ĂŸ melanoma cells with high proximity to CD8ĂŸ TILs or low proximity to CD163ĂŸ TAMs in a 20 mm radius showed an increased OS (aHR, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.14e0.96; P 1â4 .04) compared with melanoma patients with low proximity to CD8ĂŸ TILs or high proximity to CD163ĂŸ TAMs. In a subgroup analysis including 92 patients, a significant negative impact on DFS (aHR, 4.49; 95% CI, 1.73e11.64; P 1â4 .002) and OS (aHR, 3.97; 95% CI, 1.37e11.49; P 1â4 .01) was observed in sentinel lymph node (SLN)-negative patients with a high proximity of CD163ĂŸ TAMs to CD8ĂŸ TILs. These findings could help identify high-risk patients in the context of thick melanoma and a negative SLN. Our study suggests the importance of quantifying not only the density of immune cells but also the individual and combined relative spatial distributions of tumor cells and immune cells for clinical outcomes in SLN-negative primary CM patients
Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) as a Therapeutic Target in BRAF-Mutated Metastatic Melanoma
Background: One of the effects of oncogenic signaling is metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells to support anabolic growth, opening the way to therapeutic targeting of metabolic pathways. Methods: We studied NAD biosynthesis in BRAF inhibitor (BRAFi)-resistant (BiR) melanoma cell lines. Data in cell lines were confirmed by immunohistochemistry in biopsies from 17 patients with metastatic melanoma (MM) before and after the acquisition of resistance to BRAFi. Therapeutic potential of NAD biosynthesis inhibitors was determined by in vitro monitoring cell growth and death and in mouse xenograft models. Mice (n=6-10 mice/group) were treated with nicotinamide phosphoribosyltranferase inhibitor (NAMPTi), BRAFi, or their combination, and tumor growth and survival were analyzed. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results: BiR cells had higher NAD levels compared with their BRAFi-sensitive counterparts (P < .001 and P = .001 for M14 and A375, respectively) and with normal melanocytes (P<.001), achieved through transcriptional upregulation of the enzyme NAMPT, which became the master regulator of NAD synthesis. Conversely, treatment with BRAFi or MEK inhibitors decreased NAMPT expression and cellular NAD levels. Robust NAMPT upregulation was documented in tissue biopsies from MM patients after development of resistance to BRAFi (P < .001). Treatment of melanoma cells with NAMPTi depleted NAD and ATP, depolarized mitochondrial membrane, and led to reactive oxygen species production, blocking cells in the G2/M phase and inducing apoptosis. Treatment of BiR xenografts with NAMPTi improved mouse survival (median survival of vehicletreated mice was 52 days vs 100 days for NAMPTi-treated ones in M14/BiR, while in A375/BiR median survival of vehicletreated mice was 23.5 days vs 43 days for NAMPTi-treated ones, P < .001). Conclusions: BiR melanoma cells overexpress NAMPT, which acts as a connecting element between BRAF oncogenic signaling and metabolism, becoming an actionable target for this subset of MM patients
Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte Recognition in Primary Melanoma by Deep Learning Convolutional Neural Network
The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is associated with a favorable prognosis of pri-mary melanoma (PM). Recently, artificial intelligence (AI)-based approach in digital pathology was proposed for the standardized assessment of TILs on hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole slide images (WSIs). Herein, the study applied a new convolution neural network (CNN) analysis of PM WSIs to automatically assess the infiltration of TILs and extract a TIL score. A CNN was trained and validated in a retrospective cohort of 307 PMs including a training set (237 WSIs, 57,758 patches) and an inde-pendent testing set (70 WSIs, 29,533 patches). An AI-based TIL density index (AI-TIL) was identified after the classification of tumor patches by the presence or absence of TILs. The proposed CNN showed high performance in recognizing TILs in PM WSIs, showing 100% specificity and sensitivity on the testing set. The AI-based TIL index correlated with conventional TIL evaluation and clinical outcome. The AI-TIL index was an independent prognostic marker associated directly with a favorable prognosis. A fully automated and standardized AI-TIL appeared to be superior to conventional methods at differentiating the PM clinical outcome. Further studies are required to develop an easy-to-use tool to assist pathologists to assess TILs in the clinical evaluation of solid tumors.
