摘要: 目的:探讨口腔鳞癌(oral squamous cell carcinoma,OSCC)肿瘤微环境中牙龈卟啉单胞菌(Porphyromonas gingivalis,P. gingivalis)和肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(tumor-associated macrophage,TAM)的表达水平及其临床意义。方法:选取新疆医科大学第一附属医院2008年6月—2020年6月收治的200例OSCC患者并收集相关临床资料,按照免疫组织化学(immunohistochemistry,IHC)染色结果分为P. gingivalis强表达组(n=139)和弱表达组(n=61)。IHC技术分别定量2组标本DOK3及TAM的表达量。比较2组患者三者表达水平与各临床病理指标之间的相关性及其对患者预后的影响。采用R软件4.2.2对数据进行统计学分析。结果:患者死亡、临床晚期、T3~T4期、发生区域淋巴结转移、肿瘤≥3 cm及中低分化、复发与P. gingivalis高水平表达呈显著相关(P<0.05)。DOK3的强阳性表达与P. gingivalis高水平表达患者的年龄、生存状态、病理T分期、N分期及肿瘤复发显著相关(P<0.05);而TAM的强阳性表达则与T分期、临床分期和肿瘤分化程度显著相关(P<0.05)。此外,P. gingivalis的表达与DOK3及TAM的表达呈显著正相关(P<0.01)。P. gingivalis、DOK3、TAM强阳性表达的OSCC患者的预后较弱表达的患者差(P<0.05)。结论:P. gingivalis的免疫表达水平与DOK3及TAM呈正相关。三者的高表达水平与OSCC患者不良预后有关,临床上可考虑作为评价患者预后的标志物。

Abstract: PURPOSE: To explore the immunoexpression and clinical significance regarding Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) in the tumor microenvironment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). METHODS: A total of 200 OSCC patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between June 2008 and June 2020 were divided into P.gingivalis-strong-expression group(n=139) and P. gingivalis-weak-expression group (n=61), based on the immunohistochemical(IHC) staining. The detection of DOK3 and TAM was performed to quantify their expression level in two groups, respectively. The associations between the three mentioned biomarkers and clinicopathologic indicators were compared between the two groups, and the impact on patients' prognosis was also analyzed. R 4.2.2 software was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Death, late-stage cancer, T3-T4 and N(+) stage, large size (≥3 cm), moderate and poor differentiation, and recurrence exhibited significant associations with strong immunoexpression of P. gingivalis(P<0.05). Several variables of OSCC patients with strong immunoexpression of P. gingivalis including age, survival status, T and N stage, recurrence exhibited significant associations with strong immunoexpression of DOK3 (P<0.05); whereas T stage, clinical stage and tumor differentiation exhibited significant associations with strong immunoexpression of TAM (P<0.05). Additionally, the immunoexpression of P. gingivalis was positively associated with the immunoexpression of DOK3 and TAM(P<0.01). The prognosis of OSCC patients with strong positive expression of P. gingivalis, DOK3 and TAM was worse than that of patients with weak immunoexpression, respectively(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: P. gingivalis is positively correlated with DOK3 and TAM. In addition, the strong immunoexpression levels of P. gingivalis, DOK3 and tumor-associated macrophage are associated with poor prognosis in patients with OSCC. Collectively, the mentioned three biomarkers can be considered as important indicators for evaluating clinical prognosis.
