Expression of programmed death receptor-ligand 1 in human cervical carcinoma and its correlation with tumor infiltrating T cells
Objective To observe the expression of programmed death receptor-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in human cervical carcinoma and its correlation with tumor T cell infiltration. Methods Expression of PD-L1 and PD-1 was detected in 5 normal cervical tissue samples,7 high-level cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CI
N Ⅱ-Ⅲ) tissue samples and 67 cervical carcinoma tissue samples
respectively
with immunohistochemistry staining. The number of tumor infiltrating CD4
+
T and CD8
+
T cells was counted with immunofluorescent staining. Apoptotic tumor infiltration lymphocytes were examined by TUNEL assay. Results PD-L1 was not expressed in normal cervical epithelium and negatively or weakly expressed in cancerous cervical epithelium. PD-L1 was expressed in 70% (47/67) of cervical carcinoma tissue samples. PD-1 was expressed in partial tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (P0.01). The expression level of PD-L1 was slightly lower in superficial invasive cervical carcinoma tissue samples than in deep invasive carcinoma tissue samples. The number of CD8
+
T cells was significantly decreased in patients with positive PD-L1.The expression of PD-L1 was negatively correlated with the number of tumor infiltrating CD8
+
T cells (r=-0.82,P0.01) but not with the number of CD4
+
T cells (r=-0.05,P 0.05). Apoptosis occurred in partial tumor infiltrating lymphocytes of cervical carcinoma tissue samples. Conclusion PD-L1 is expressed in cervical carcinoma cells. The expression of PD-L1 is correlated with the reduced number of tumor infiltrating CD8
+
T cells but not with the number of CD4
+
T cells. PD-L1 expression in tumor cells may play role in apoptosis of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes.
