Abstract

Abstract:

Background

At present, whether the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and the density of CD₈⁺ tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) in gastric cancer tissue can be used as prognostic indicators for gastric cancer patients has been still unclear.

Objective

To analyze the expression of PD-L1 and density of CD8+ TILs in gastric cancer tissues and their relations with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.

Methods

A total of 125 gastric cancer patients underwent surgical treatment in Nanyang First People's Hospital from January 2016 to March 2018 were selected, and the expression level of PD-L1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissue was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, the density of CD₈⁺ TILs in gastric cancer tissue was detected by immunohistochemical methods. The relations of the relative expression quantity of PD-L1 mRNA and the density of CD₈⁺ TILs in gastric cancer tissue with the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with gastric cancer was analyzed; the correlation between the relative expression quantity of PD-L1 mRNA and the density of CD₈⁺ TILs in gastric cancer tissue was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis; telephone follow-up was conduct till to 36 months after operation, taking death or loss to follow-up as outcome event, Kaplan-Meier survivorship curve was drawn to conduct survival analysis; univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of prognosis of gastric cancer patients.

Results

The average relative expression quantity of PD-L1 mRNA was 3.1 in gastric cancer tissue, the average number of CD₈⁺ TILs was 36 in cancer nests, thus the 125 patients were divided into low-level group (with relative expression quantity of PD-L1 mRNA less than 3.1, n=73) , high-level group (with relative expression quantity of PD-L1 mRNA equal or over 3.1, n=52) , low-density group (with number of CD₈⁺ TILs less than 31, n=55) and high-density group (with number of CD₈⁺ TILs equal or over 31, n=70) . There were significant differences in lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion and peritoneal metastasis between the the low-level group and high-level group (P<0.05) , so as in depth of infiltration, incidence of lymphatic metastasis, vascular invasion and peritoneal metastasis between the the low-density group and high-density group (P<0.05) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that the relative expression quantity of PD-L1 mRNA was negatively correlated with density of CD₈⁺ TILs in gastric cancer tissue (r=-0.412, P<0.001) . We found 88 cases with good prognosis and 37 cases with poor prognosis, with the medium time of follow-up of 36 months; there was significant difference in Kaplan-Meier curve between low-level and high-level groups, low-density and high-density groups, respectively (P<0.05) . Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high-level PD-L1 mRNA〔HR=3.021, 95%CI (1.632, 5.045) 〕and low-density CD₈⁺ TILs〔HR=2.158, 95%CI (1.854, 4.632) 〕were independent risk factors of poor prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (P<0.05) .

Conclusion

High level of PD-L1 mRNA and low density of CD₈⁺ TILs are independent risk factors of poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients, which are expected to be biomarkers for poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients.

摘要：

背景

目前，胃癌组织细胞程序性死亡配体1（PD-L1）表达情况和CD₈⁺肿瘤浸润T淋巴细胞（TILs）密度是否可作为胃癌患者预后的评估指标尚不明确。

目的

分析胃癌组织PD-L1表达情况、CD₈⁺ TILs密度及其与患者临床病理特征和预后的关系。

方法

选择2016年1月至2018年3月在南阳市第一人民医院行手术治疗的胃癌患者125例，采用实时荧光定量反转录聚合酶链反应检测其胃癌组织PD-L1 mRNA相对表达量，采用免疫组化方法检测其胃癌组织CD₈⁺ TILs密度。分析胃癌组织PD-L1 mRNA相对表达量、CD₈⁺ TILs密度与患者临床病理特征的关系；胃癌组织PD-L1 mRNA相对表达量与CD₈⁺ TILs密度的相关性分析采用Pearson相关分析；通过电话随访至术后36个月，以患者死亡或失访为终点事件，绘制Kaplan-Meier曲线以进行生存分析；胃癌患者预后的影响因素分析采用单因素和多因素Cox回归分析。

结果

所有患者胃癌组织平均PD-L1 mRNA相对表达量为3.1，癌巢内平均CD₈⁺ TILs数量为36个，最终归为低水平组73例（PD-L1 mRNA相对表达量<3.1）和高水平组52例（PD-L1 mRNA相对表达量≥3.1），低密度组55例（CD₈⁺ TILs数量<36个）和高密度组70例（CD₈⁺ TILs≥36个）。低水平组与高水平组患者淋巴结转移、脉管侵犯、腹膜转移情况比较，差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）；低密度组与高密度组患者浸润深度、淋巴结转移、脉管侵犯、腹膜转移情况比较，差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。Pearson相关分析结果显示，胃癌组织PD-L1 mRNA相对表达量与CD₈⁺ TILs密度呈负相关（r=-0.412，P<0.001）。中位随访时间为36.0个月，125例患者中预后不良37例，预后良好88例；低水平组与高水平组、低密度组与高密度组患者Kaplan-Meier曲线比较，差异均有统计学意义（P<0.05）。多因素Cox回归分析结果显示，高水平PD-L1 mRNA〔HR=3.021，95%CI（1.632，5.045）〕、低密度CD₈⁺ TILs〔HR=2.158，95%CI（1.854，4.632）〕为胃癌患者预后不良的独立危险因素（P<0.05）。

结论

高水平PD-L1 mRNA、低密度CD₈⁺ TILs均是胃癌患者预后不良的独立危险因素，有望成为胃癌患者预后不良的生物标志物。
