摘要
【目的】探讨肿瘤浸润树突状细胞(TIDC)及肿瘤浸润T淋巴细胞(TIL-T)在EBV相关胃癌(EBVaGC)中的肿瘤免疫作用及其临床意义。【方法】采用免疫组织化学方法检测49例EBVaGC和20例EBV阴性胃癌(EBVnGC)中TIDC及TIL-T的浸润程度及亚型,并分析其与EBVaGC的临床病理特征的关系。【结果】TIDC在49例EBVaGC中有29例(59.2%)呈轻度浸润,20例(40.8%)为显著浸润,而EBVnGC中则有18例(90%)为轻度浸润,2例(10%)为显著浸润。经统计学分析,TIDC在EBVaGC显著浸润率高于EBVnGC(P=0.013)。TIL-T在EBVaGC的数量较EBVnGC多(P=0.017),且多数为CD8+细胞毒性T细胞(CTL);EBVaGC中TIL-T与TIDC数量呈正相关(r=0.386,n=49,P=0.006)。TIL-T浸润程度与淋巴结转移呈负相关(P<0.001),而TIDC浸润程度与临床病理特征无关。【结论】TIDC及TIL-T可能在EBVaGC肿瘤免疫反应中起着重要的作用,TIDC可能对于TIL-T具有趋化作用。
【Objective】 To explore the roles of TIDC (tumor infiltrating dendritic cell) and TIL-T (tumor infiltrating T lymphocyte) in tumor immunity of EBV-associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC) and their clinical significance. 【Methods】 TIDC and TIL-T in EBVaGC (n = 49) and EBVnGC (EBV-negative gastric carcinoma) (n=20) were detected by immunohistochemistry method and then their subtypes and their relationships with clinical and pathological factors were analyzed. 【Results】 Mild infiltration was detected in 29 of 49 (59.2%) EBVaGCs and 18 of 20 (90%) EBVnGCs, while marked infiltration of TIDC was detected in 20 of 49 (40.8%) EBVaGCs and 2 of 20 (10%) EBVnGCs. And the difference between the two groups was significant (P=0.013). The number of TIL-T in EBVaGC was higher than that in EBVnGC (P=0.017), and most of them were CTLs. The number of TIL-T was positively correlated with that of TIDC (r = 0.386, n = 49, P = 0.006). The degree of TIL-T infiltration in EBVaGC had negative relationship with the lymph node metastasis (P〈 0.001), while TIDC had no relationship with the clinical features. 【Conclusion】 TIDC and TIL-T may play important roles in the tumor immunity of EBVaGC; TIDC may contribute to the TIL-T recruitment in EBVaGC.
