摘要
目的:探讨血清可溶性程序性死亡配体1(sPD-L1)水平、组织PD-L1的表达对晚期食管鳞癌的预后判断价值。方法:收集晚期食管鳞癌患者127例,健康对照71名,ELISA法测定健康对照组及食管鳞癌组化疗前血清sPD-L1水平,同时检测炎性指标NLR、SII水平;免疫组化法测定食管鳞癌组织中PD-L1的表达,分析血清sPD-L1与组织PD-L1及NLR、SII的关系; Kaplan-Meier法和Cox回归分析晚期食管鳞癌患者预后影响因素。结果:食管鳞癌组血清sPD-L1、NLR、SII水平均高于健康对照组(P均<0. 05)。食管鳞癌患者血清sPD-L1水平与组织PD-L1表达无关(P=0. 619),但与炎性指标NLR、SII有关(P均<0. 05)。Kaplan-Meier法分析结果表明,sPD-L1水平、PD-L1表达和肿瘤部位与晚期食管鳞癌患者的预后有关(P均<0. 05)。Cox回归分析表明sPD-L1与PD-L1是晚期食管鳞癌预后的独立影响因素,高sPD-L1水平、PD-L1阳性的患者死亡风险增加(HR=1. 533,95%CI=1. 063-2. 211; HR=1. 703,95%CI=1. 058-2. 739)。结论:血清sPD-L1与组织PD-L1可用于晚期食管鳞癌患者的预后判定。
Aim: To explore the prognostic value of serum soluble programmed cell death ligand 1( sPD-L1) and tissue PD-L1 expression in advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma( ESCC). Methods: A total of 127 patients with advanced ESCC and 71 healthy volunteers( control group) were collected. Serum sPD-L1 in the control group and ESCC group was measured by ELISA. Meanwhile,NLR and SII,the inflammatory indexes in the two groups were calculated. The expression of PD-L1 in ESCC tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between serum sPD-L1 and tissue PD-L1,NLR,SII was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis were used to determine the risk factors on the prognosis. Results: Serum sPD-L1,NLR and SII in ESCC group were higher than those in control group( P < 0. 05).The level of sPD-L1 in ESCC was not associated with the expression of PD-L1( P = 0. 619),but it was associated with NLR and SII( P < 0. 05). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that sPD-L1,PD-L1 and tumor sites were related to the prognosis of advanced ESCC( P < 0. 05). Cox regression analysis showed that sPD-L1 and PD-L1 were independent prognostic factors for advanced ESCC,and high sPD-L1 level or PD-L1 positive patients had a significant increased risk of death( HR =1. 533,95% CI = 1. 063-2. 211; HR = 1. 703,95% CI = 1. 058-2. 739). Conclusion: Serum sPD-L1 level and tissue PDL1 expression can be prognostic indicators for patients with advanced ESCC.
