摘要
目的:探讨程序性细胞死亡蛋白-1(PD-1)和T细胞免疫球蛋白黏蛋白-3(TIM-3)在食管鳞状细胞癌(ESCC)患者外周血和肿瘤组织来源的髓源抑制性细胞(MDSCs)上的表达情况。方法:将48例ESCC手术患者外周血单个核细胞和肿瘤组织单细胞进行CD11b、CD14、CD33、HLA-DR标记,并检测单核MDSCs和多形核MDSCs两个亚群上PD-1和TIM-3的表达,分析其表达水平与临床病理指标的关系。结果:肿瘤组织来源的MDSCs上PD-1和TIM-3的表达均高于外周血来源的MDSCs(P <0. 05)。肿瘤组织来源的多形核MDSCs上PD-1和TIM-3的表达水平高于单核MDSCs(P <0. 05),但是PD-1、TIM-3高表达和低表达患者生存曲线差异无统计学意义(P>0. 05)。PD-1、TIM-3在外周血和肿瘤组织来源的MDSCs上的表达均与ESCC患者临床病理指标无关(P> 0. 05)。结论:PD-1和TIM-3在ESCC患者肿瘤组织来源的MDSCs上的表达明显升高,二者可能成为与MDSCs功能相关的标志物。
Aim: To investigate the expressions of PD-1 and TIM-3 on myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs) derived from peripheral blood and tumor tissue in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC). Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells and tumor tissue derived single cells of 48 patients with ESCC were labelled with monoclonal antibodies,and the expressions of PD-1 and TIM-3 on the two subtypes of MDSCs were detected by flow cytometry.The association between the expression levels of PD-1 and TIM-3 and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed. Results:The expressions of PD-1 and TIM-3 on tumor tissue-derived MDSCs were significantly higher than those on peripheral bloodderived MDSCs(P < 0. 05). There were significant differences in the expressions of PD-1 and TIM-3 between tumor-derived PMN-MDSCs and M-MDSCs(P < 0. 05). However,there was no significant difference in survival between patients with high expressions of PD-1 and TIM-3 and those with low expressions(P > 0. 05). There was higher expression of PD-1 on peripheral blood-derived M-MDSCs of males than that of females(P < 0. 05). The expressions of PD-1 and TIM-3 on tumorand peripheral blood-derived MDSCs were not associated with clinicopathological parameters of ESCC patients(P > 0. 05).Conclusion: The expressions of PD-1 and TIM-3 significantly increase in tumor tissue-derived MDSCs from ESCC patients,and PD-1 and TIM-3 may become new markers to identify MDSCs.
