To evaluate the membrane expression of DR4, DR5, DcR1 and DcR2 in the normal endometrium (NE), atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC).
The study comprised 197 patients: 20 NE, 18 AEH and 159 EAC. Tissue microarrays were constructed. Membrane expression of DR4, DR5, DcR1 and DcR2 was examined and presented as total score (TS).
In EAC, the membrane expression of DR4, DR5 and DcR2 was less common compared to NE (p < 0.001; p < 0.001; p = 0.018) and AEH (p < 0.001; p < 0.001; p = 0.004). In EAC the membrane expression of DcR1 did not differ when compared to NE (p = 0.055) and AEH (p = 0.173). A strong correlation was found between the type of endometrial tissue (NE/AEH/EAC) and the TS of DR4 (p < 0.001), DR5 (p < 0.001), DcR1 (p = 0.033) and DcR2 (p < 0.001). In EAC, the TS of DR4, DR5, DcR1 and DcR2 was not related to grading and staging. In EAC, the membrane expression of DR5, but not DR4, DcR1 and DcR2, was related to better disease-free survival (DFS). The overall survival (OS) was not related to membrane TRAIL receptors expression.
The membrane expression of the receptors for TRAIL DR4, DR5, DcR1 and DcR2 is greater in NE than EAC. The level of membrane staining of the receptors in EAC is not dependent on grading and staging. In EAC patients, membrane expression of DR4, DR5, DcR1 and DcR2 are not independent predictors of survival.
评估正常子宫内膜(NE)、非典型子宫内膜增生(AEH)和子宫内膜样腺癌(EAC)中 DR4、DR5、DcR1 和 DcR2 的膜表达。
本研究共纳入 197 例患者:20 例 NE、18 例 AEH 和 159 例 EAC。构建组织微阵列。检测 DR4、DR5、DcR1 和 DcR2 的膜表达,并以总评分(TS)表示。
与 NE(p<0.001;p<0.001;p=0.018)和 AEH(p<0.001;p<0.001;p=0.004)相比,EAC 中 DR4、DR5 和 DcR2 的膜表达更为常见。与 NE(p=0.055)和 AEH(p=0.173)相比,EAC 中 DcR1 的膜表达没有差异。在子宫内膜组织类型(NE/AEH/EAC)与 DR4(p<0.001)、DR5(p<0.001)、DcR1(p=0.033)和 DcR2(p<0.001)的 TS 之间发现了很强的相关性。在 EAC 中,DR4、DR5、DcR1 和 DcR2 的 TS 与分级和分期无关。在 EAC 中,DR5 的膜表达与无病生存期(DFS)相关,但 DR4、DcR1 和 DcR2 的膜表达则不然。总生存(OS)与膜 TRAIL 受体表达无关。
DR4、DR5、DcR1 和 DcR2 等 TRAIL 受体在 NE 中的膜表达高于 EAC。EAC 中受体膜染色水平与分级和分期无关。在 EAC 患者中,DR4、DR5、DcR1 和 DcR2 的膜表达均不是生存的独立预测因子。
