目的检测非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者肿瘤相关巨噬细胞表型及其分布,探讨NSCLC患者预后与肿瘤相关巨噬细胞各表型的关系。方法收集47例有完整临床病理和随访资料的NSCLC标本,运用免疫组化方法检测CD68、TNF-α、TGF-β1在肿瘤间质及癌旁肺组织巨噬细胞表达,分析其与患者各项临床指标及预后的关系。结果 CD6+8TNF-α+M1型巨噬细胞在NSCLC癌组织低于癌旁正常肺组织(P〈0.05),CD6+8TNF-β1+M2型巨噬细胞在NSCLC肿瘤间质高于癌旁正常肺组织(P〈0.05);M1型及M2型巨噬细胞在肿瘤间质内的数量与临床分期相关(P〈0.05);Kaplan-Meier生存曲线分析显示患者术后生存率随巨噬细胞TNF-α阳性表达而呈上升趋势,随TGF-β1阳性表达呈现下降趋势。结论 M1型巨噬细胞减少和M2型巨噬细胞增多与NSCLC患者的不良预后有关。
Objective To study the relationship between the tumor-associated macrophage phenotypes and the clinical prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients.Methods Immunohistochemical staining for CD68,TNF-α and TGF-β1 were performed on paraffin embedded tissues from 47 NSCLC cases.The relationship between immunohistochemical staining results and the relative clinicopathologic data and prognosis of NSCLC patients were analyzed.Results CD+68TNF-α+ macrophage(M1) was significantly lower in NSCLC than that in tumor surrounding lung tissues(P〈0.05) and CD+68TNF-β+1 macrophage(M2) was significantly higher in NSCLC than that in tumor surrounding lung tissues(P〈0.05).M1 and M2 macrophages expression were correlated with clinical stage(P〈0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that up-regulating of CD+68TNF-α+ macrophage expression was associated with higher survival rate of patients after operation,up-regulating of CD+68TNF-β+1 macrophage expression was associated with lower survival rate of patients after operation.Conclusion M1 macrophage decreasing and M2 macrophage increasing were correlated with lower survival rate of NSCLC patients after operation.
