摘要:

目的 探讨人脑胶质瘤组织中胶质瘤干细胞(glioma stem cells,GSCs)标志物CD133、肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(tumor- associated macrophages,TAMs)标志物CD68和负性共刺激分子PD-L1在不同病理级别人脑胶质瘤组织中的表达及其相关性。方法 采用免疫荧光双染法检测不同病理级别脑胶质瘤组织中CD68和PD-L1蛋白的共表达情况;采用实时荧光定量PCR(quantitative real- time fluorescent PCR,qRT-PCR)技术检测30例低级别脑胶质瘤(Ⅰ级和Ⅱ级)组织和30例高级别脑胶质瘤(Ⅲ级和Ⅳ级)组织中CD133、CD68和PD-L1 mRNA的表达,并分析其与临床病理级别之间的相关性。结果 脑胶质瘤组织中PD-L1和CD68共表达在肿瘤相关巨噬细胞上,即大部分PD-L1阳性细胞为肿瘤相关巨噬细胞,高级别组CD68和PD-L1蛋白的共表达明显高于低级别组。在脑胶质瘤组织中,CD133、CD68和PD-L1 mRNA的表达水平均与病理分级呈正相关(r=0.647,P<0.001;r=0.499,P<0.001;r=0.445,P=0.001);三者在高级别脑胶质瘤组织中的表达均高于低级别脑胶质瘤组织(P<0.05); 脑胶质瘤组织中CD133与CD68 mRNA的表达呈正相关(r=0.525,P<0.001),低级别组和高级别组中两者表达亦呈正相关(r=0.518,P=0.005;r=0.500,P=0.007);脑胶质瘤组织中CD133与PD-L1 mRNA表达呈正相关(r=0.431,P<0.001),低级别组和高级别组两者表达亦呈正相关(r=0.398,P=0.036;r=0.417,P=0.027)。结论 脑胶质瘤组织中PD-L1主要由肿瘤微环境中的TAMs表达;CD133、CD68和PD-L1表达与脑胶质瘤的恶性程度密切相关。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the expression of glioma stem cell(GSC) marker CD133,the tumor- associated macrophage (TAM) marker CD68 and the negative co- stimulatory molecule PD-L1 in different pathological grades of glioma tissue and their possible correlation. Methods Double immunofluorescence staining was used to detect co- expression of CD68 and PD-L1 protein in glioma tissues of different pathological grades. The expression of CD133,CD68 and PD-L1 genes in 30 cases of low- grade glioma tissue (grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ) and 30 cases of high- grade glioma tissue (grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ) were detected by quantitative real- time fluorescent PCR (qRT-PCR),and correlation with clinical pathological grade was analyzed. Results The majority of PD-L1-positive cells were TAMs,and as the pathological grade of gliomas increased,the co-expression of CD68 and PD-L1 increased. In glioma tissues,pathological grade positively correlated with levels of CD133 (r=0.647,P<0.001),CD68 (r=0.499,P<0.001),and PD-L1(r=0.445,P=0.001). The expression levels of CD133,CD68 and PD-L1 were significantly higher in high-grade glioma tissue than in low-grade gliomas (P<0.05). Expression of the CD133 gene positively correlated with that of the CD68 gene across all samples (r=0.525,P<0.001),in low-grade samples (r=0.518,P=0.005),and in high-grade samples(r=0.500,P=0.007). Expression of the CD133 gene also positively correlated with that of the PD-L1 gene across all samples (r=0.431,P<0.001),in low- grade samples (r=0.398,P=0.036),and in high-grade samples (r=0.417,P=0.027). Conclusion PD-L1 in glioma tissue is expressed mainly by TAMs in the tumor microenvironment. Expression of CD133,CD68 and PD-L1 relates closely to the tumor degree of malignancy.
