B7-H4和B7-H6在卵巢癌中的表达及意义

Expressiones of B7-H4 and B7-H6 in ovarian cancers and its clinical implication

  • 摘要: 目的:探讨B7-H4和B7-H6蛋白在卵巢良性和恶性肿瘤中的表达及其临床病理意义。方法:收集同济大学附属同济医院卵巢肿瘤标本101例,其中卵巢恶性肿瘤58例、同期卵巢良性肿瘤43例。采用免疫组织化学染色检测B7-H4和B7-H6蛋白在良性及恶性卵巢肿瘤中的表达及分布。采用χ2检验及非参数秩和检验分析卵巢恶性肿瘤中B7-H4和B7-H6蛋白表达与临床病理参数的相关性。结果:B7-H4和B7-H6蛋白在卵巢恶性肿瘤中表达率分别为82.76%(48/58)、79.31%(46/58),在卵巢良性肿瘤中的表达率分别为13.95%(6/43)、16.28%(7/43);B7-H4和B7-H6的表达在卵巢良恶性肿瘤间差异有统计学意义(P<0.000 1)。B7-H4和B7-H6蛋白在卵巢恶性肿瘤细胞浆和细胞膜上均有表达。B7-H4和B7-H6蛋白的表达与卵巢恶性肿瘤患者的年龄、组织分型及p53蛋白表达相关(P<0.05)。结论:B7-H4和B7-H6蛋白在卵巢恶性肿瘤中呈高表达,提示两者可能与卵巢恶性肿瘤的发生、发展有关。

     

    Abstract: Objective:To investigate the expressions of B7-H4 and B7-H6 in ovarian tumor tissues and related clinicopathological characteristics. Methods:A total of 101 ovarian tumor specimens from Tongji Hospital Affiated to Tongji University were collected, among which 43 cases were benign and 58 cases were malignant. The expressions and distributions of B7-H4 and B7-H6 in ovarian benign and malignant tumors were investigated by immunohistochemical staining. Chi-square test and nonparametric rank sum test were used to analyze the correlation between B7-H4 and B7-H6 protein expressions and clinicopathological parameters. Results:Immunohistochemical results showed that 82.76% (48/58) of malignant tumors expressed B7-H4 and 79.31% (46/58) of malignant tumors expressed B7-H6, respectively. While in benign ovarian tumors, there were 13.95% (6/43) and 16.28% (7/43) samples that expressed B7-H4 and B7-H6. The expressions of B7-H4 and B7-H6 proteins in ovarian malignant tumors is significantly higher than that in benign ovarian tumors (P<0.05). B7-H4 and B7-H6 proteins were mostly distributed in the cytoplasm and cell membrane. Moreover, the expression levels of B7-H4 and B7-H6 proteins in ovarian cancers were tightly correlated with the patients’ age, histological type of tumors, and p53 expression (P<0.05). Conclusions:The high expressions of B7-H4 and B7-H6 proteins in ovarian malignant tumors indicates their potential roles in the occurrence and progress of ovarian malignant tumors.
