B7 homolog 1 [B7-H1; aka programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1)] is a negative costimulatory molecule that is associated with poor prognosis in many tumor types. Given the poor prognosis and the limited treatments available for mesothelioma, we decided to examine B7-H1 expression and its association with survival in patients with mesothelioma. Expression of B7-H1 was determined in 106 patients using a mouse monoclonal anti-human B7-H1 (clone 5H1-A3) antibody with immunohistochemistry. Positive expression was defined as ≥5% positively-stained cells. Clinicopathologic features and survival were compared between B7-H1 positive and negative groups. Malignant mesotheliomas of 42 patients (40%) expressed B7-H1. Patients with B7-H1-postive tumors were less likely to be offered or undergo therapeutic surgery (p=0.03). All sarcomatoid mesotheliomas except one desmoplastic subtype expressed B7-H1. Survival was significantly decreased for patients whose tumors expressed B7-H1 (5 months median, 2-9.5 months interquartile range) compared to those whose tumors did not (14.5 months, 9.25-19 months; p<0.0001). In a multivariate model, B7-H1 expression and sarcomatoid mesothelioma remained significantly associated with worse survival [risk ratio 1.71, 95% CI 1.03-2.78 (p=0.04) and risk ratio 2.18, 1.08-4.23 (p=0.03) respectively]. B7-H1 is expressed in a substantial proportion of malignant pleural mesotheliomas and is associated with poor survival. Almost all malignant pleural mesotheliomas with sarcomatoid differentiation expressed B7-H1. The expression of B7-H1 may have important therapeutic implications for the management of malignant pleural mesothelioma.
