High Expression of PD-L1 Is Associated with Better Survival in Pancreatic/Periampullary Cancers and Correlates with Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition

چکیده
Periampullary cancers (PACs) are characterized by tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), severe fibrosis, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). The immune checkpoint marker programmed death-1 (PD-1) its ligands 1 2 have gained popularity in with TILs. Evidence suggests a strong relationship between markers EMT cancers. Here, we evaluated the expression prognostic significance of PAC using an automated image analyzer. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded surgically excised tissues from laboratory archives (1998–2014) were immunohistochemical staining for PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2 tissue microarray. In total, 115 patients (70 males 45 females) average age 63 years analyzed. Location, gross type, size, radial resection margin, N-M stage, lymphatic invasion, vascular perineural histologically well-differentiated inflammation, high PD-L1 significantly associated recurrence. Higher expression, but not PD-1 PD-L2, was related better overall survival (OS) disease-free (DFS). markers. Aside other clinicopathologic parameters, OS DFS patients. Moreover, Therefore, can be good guide future target-based therapies

PD-L1 expression is associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Virus-associated malignancies and sarcomatoid cancers correlate with high PD-L1 expression, however, underlying mechanisms remain controversial. We evaluated the correlation between PD-L1 expression and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC).Tumor tissues from 50 patients with HNSCC were evaluated for PD-L1 by immunohistochemistry, which showed...
متن کاملThe Level of Mesenchymal-Epithelial Transition Autophosphorylation is Correlated with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Migration
Background: The MET receptor is a critical member of cancer-associated RTKs and plays an important role in different biological activities, including differentiation, migration, and cell proliferation. Methods: In this study, novel MET inhibitors were introduced and applied on esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line KYSE-30, and the level of proliferation and migration, as well as the activated...
متن کاملEpithelial to mesenchymal transition is associated with rapamycin resistance
Rapamycin analogues have antitumor efficacy in several tumor types, however few patients demonstrate tumor regression. Thus, there is a pressing need for markers of intrinsic response/resistance and rational combination therapies. We hypothesized that epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) confers rapamycin resistance. We found that the epithelial marker E-cadherin protein is higher in rapa...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولElevated tropomyosin expression is associated with epithelial–mesenchymal transition of lens epithelial cells
Injury to lens epithelial cells (LECs) leads to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) with resultant fibrosis. The tropomyosin (Tpm) family of cytoskeleton proteins is involved in regulating and stabilizing actin microfilaments. Aberrant expression of Tpms leads to abnormal morphological changes with disintegration of epithelial integrity. The EMT of LECs has been proposed as a major cause of...
