[摘要] 目的 探討结直肠癌中CD4+T、CD8+T细胞和PD-L1的表达情况,并分析其相关性及临床病理学意义。 方法 收集2019年1—12月包头市肿瘤医院手术切除的结直肠癌肿物及癌旁5 cm、10 cm石蜡组织标本各41例,免疫组化法检测CD4+T、CD8+T细胞和PD-L1的表达水平,Sanger测序法检测微卫星不稳定性。 结果 结直肠癌癌组织CD4+T细胞表达阳性的细胞数为108.8个,高于癌旁5 cm的73.8个及癌旁10 cm的38.0个,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);癌组织CD8+T细胞表达阳性的细胞数为63.8个,高于癌旁5 cm的33.8个及癌旁10 cm的22.4个,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);癌组织PD-L1表达阳性的细胞数为18.0个,高于癌旁5 cm的3.2个及癌旁10 cm的1.2个,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。神经侵犯、脉管癌栓与结直肠癌癌组织CD4+T细胞表达相关,MSI、淋巴结转移、脉管癌栓与CD8+T细胞表达有关,MSI、淋巴结转移、神经侵犯、脉管癌栓与PD-L1的表达均无关。PD-L1和CD8+T细胞的表达呈低度正相关(r=0.350,P<0.05),PD-L1与CD4+T细胞表达无相关性(r=0.138,P>0.05)。 结论 CD4+T、CD8+T细胞和PD-L1在癌组织高表达,CD8+T与CD4+T细胞两者的高表达可作为预后良好的辅助判断指标,PD-L1与CD8+T细胞表达呈正相关。

[Abstract] Objective To investigate the expression of CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells and PD-L1 in colorectal cancer, and to analyze their correlation and clinicopathological significance. Methods 41 cases of colorectal cancer tumors and paraffin tissue specimens 5 cm and 10 cm adjacent to the cancer were collected from Baotou Cancer Hospital from January to December 2019. The expression levels of CD4+T, CD8+T cells and PD-L1 were detected by immunohistochemistry, and the microsatellite instability was detected by sanger sequencing method. Results The number of CD4+T cells in colorectal cancer tissues was 108.8, which was higher than 73.8 cells in 5 cm adjacent to cancer and 38.0 cells in 10 cm adjacent to cancer, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The number of CD8+ T cells in cancer tissue was 63.8, which was higher than 33.8 in 5 cm and 22.4 in 10 cm adjacent to cancer(P<0.05); The number of PD-L1 positive cells in cancer tissue was 18.0, which was higher than 3.2 in 5 cm and 1.2 in 10 cm adjacent to cancer(P<0.05). MSI, lymph node metastasis and vascular tumor thrombus were related to the expression of CD8+T cells. MSI, lymph node metastasis, nerve invasion and vascular tumor thrombus were not related to the expression of PD-L1. There was a low positive correlation between the expression of PD-L1 and CD8+T cells(r=0.350, P<0.05), but no correlation between the expression of PD-L1 and CD4+T cells(r=0.138, P>0.05). Conclusion CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, and PD-L1 are highly expressed in cancer tissues. The high expression of CD8+T cells and CD4+T cells can be used as auxiliary indicators for a good prognosis. The expression of PD-L1 is positively related to CD8+T cells.

结直肠癌(Colorectal cancer,CRC)是一种常见的胃肠道恶性肿瘤,其发病率在所有恶性肿瘤中位居第三位[1]。近年来CRC的死亡率明显上升,因此深入研究并寻找新的治疗策略意义重大。肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞(Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes,TIL)是肿瘤细胞免疫的重要组分,CD8+T细胞是主要的抗肿瘤效应细胞,CD4+T细胞则促进其活化增殖,二者协同可对抗肿瘤。程序性死亡因子-1(Programmmed death-1,PD-1)/程序性死亡因子配体-1(Programmmed death ligand-1,PD-L1)属负性刺激分子,可诱导T细胞衰竭,促进肿瘤进展[2]。目前PD-L1的抗体阻断治疗已在微卫星不稳定(Microsatellite instability,MSI)型CRC中取得较为可观的疗效。但前期研究中PD-L1与CD4+T细胞、CD8+T细胞的关系分析却少有报道。本研究旨在检测CRC癌组织和癌旁组织中CD4+T、CD8+T细胞和PD-L1的表达水平,并分析其相关性及意义,为CRC的预后判断及免疫治疗提供理论依据,现报道如下。
