- Simple Summary Immunotherapy blocking programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligands (PD-L1, PD-L2) is less effective in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) than classical Hodgkin lymphoma. However, NHL is a heterogeneous group and current research seeks to identify subgroups of NHL patients responsive to PD-1 blocking agents. Whether patients with pre-existing rheumatic diseases might constitute such a subgroup is unknown. We investigated the expression of PD-1 and its ligands in lymphoma patients with pre-existing rheumatic diseases. Our key findings include that in patients with pre-existing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and subsequent diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, an association between RA disease severity and increased expression of PD-L1 in tumor cells was seen. This warrants further studies of the PD-1 pathway in lymphoma in other chronic inflammatory conditions. Current research seeks to identify subgroups of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients responsive to PD-1 blocking agents. Whether patients with pre-existing rheumatic diseases might constitute such a subgroup is unknown. We determined intratumoral expression of PD-1 and its ligands in lymphoma patients with pre-existing rheumatic diseases. We included 215 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or Sjogren's syndrome with subsequent lymphoma and 74 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) controls without rheumatic disease. PD-1 and PD-ligand immunohistochemical markers were applied on tumor tissue microarrays. The number of PD-1+ tumor infiltrating leukocytes (TILs) and proportions of PD-L1+ and PD-L2+ tumor cells and TILs were calculated and correlated with clinical data. Expression of PD-L1 in tumor cells and TILs was highest in classical Hodgkin lymphoma and DLBCL. In DLBCLs, expression of PD-1 in TILs and PD-L1 in tumor cells was similar in RA, SLE and controls. In RA-DLBCL, high expression of PD-L1 in tumor cells was significantly more common in patients with the most severe RA disease and was associated with inferior overall survival in multivariable analysis.
