摘要
目的:探讨肿瘤浸润树突状细胞(tumor infiltration dendritic cells,TIDC)在口腔鳞癌中的活化率和意义。方法:采用免疫组织化学方法(Envision法)对10例正常口腔黏膜、10例癌前病变及30例不同分化程度口腔鳞癌中CD1a、HLA-DR的表达进行检测,并结合细胞形态特征确定树突状细胞(dendritic cells,DC)在组织中的浸润程度,依据Sprinzl等提出的分级标准分级,对其活化率进行统计分析。结果:①DC活化率:癌前病变组显著高于正常口腔黏膜组和口腔鳞癌组(P<0.01);而口腔鳞癌组略高于正常口腔黏膜组,但差异无显著性(P>0.05)。②CD1a表达阳性的DC活化率均与年龄、性别、发病部位无关(P>0.05)。③CD1a表达阳性的DC浸润程度与活化率间呈正相关(r=0.615,P<0.01)。结论:①口腔鳞癌中TIDC数量减少并存在功能缺陷,且随着恶性程度增加而加重。②TIDC浸润度及活化率反映了组织局部的免疫状况,可作为判断机体抗肿瘤免疫能力的一项指标。③肿瘤组织中TIDC浸润度及活化率降低,可能是肿瘤发生免疫逃逸的原因之一。
Objective: To investigate the activated rate and significance of tumor infiltration dendritic cells (TIDC) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: Normal mucosa (10 cases), precancerous lesion (10 cases) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (30 cases) were included in this study. C1a protein and HLA-DR were examined immunohistochemically. The degree of infiltration of dendritic cells (DC) was studied according to the criteria reported by Sprinzl. Results: ①The activated rate of DC in precancerous lesion group was higher than the other two groups, but no significant difference was showed (P〉0.05). ②The activated rate of DC did not show correlation to gender, age and site (P〉0.05). ③Positive correlation was revealed between infiltrative degree and activated rate of DC (P〈0.01). Conclusions: ①In OSCC, the TIDC decreased in number and dysmaturity. ②The lower density of DC infihration and activated rate in tumor tissue might reflect the microenviromeutal immunodeficiency of hosts, and might be the important index to prediction of prognosis.③The lower density of DC infiltration and activated rate may be one of the reasons for immune escape.
