To explore the expressions of CD133 and CD82/KAI1 in bladder urothelial carcinoma, their association with the clinicopathological factors and their roles in vasculogenic mimicry (VM) in the tumor.
The expressions of CD133 and CD82/KAI1 and VM were detected by immunohistochemistry and histochemistry in 90 specimens of bladder urothelial carcinoma and 20 specimens of normal bladder epithelium tissue.
The positivity rates of CD133, CD82/KAI1 and VM in normal bladder epithelium tissue were 0, 90% and 0, showing significant differences from the rates of 65.6%, 31.1% and 31.1% in urothelial carcinoma, respectively (P<0.01). Positive expressions of CD133, CD82/KAI1 and VM were significantly correlated with pTNM stage and tumor relapse (P<0.01) but not with gender, age, or tumor numbers (P>0.05). CD133 expression was positively correlated with VM (P=0.487, P<0.05), and CD82/KAI1 expression was negatively correlated with VM (r=-0.452, P<0.01) and CD133 (r=-0.776, P<0.05).
The expressions of CD133 and CD82/KAI1 proteins are involved in the occurrence of VM in bladder urothelial carcinoma to contribute to the invasion and relapse of bladder carcinoma.
探讨CD133和CD82/KAI1在膀胱尿路上皮癌中的表达情况,它们与临床病理因素的关系以及在肿瘤血管生成拟态(VM)中的作用。
采用免疫组织化学和组织化学方法检测90例膀胱尿路上皮癌标本及20例正常膀胱上皮组织标本中CD133、CD82/KAI1的表达及VM情况。
正常膀胱上皮组织中CD133、CD82/KAI1及VM的阳性率分别为0、90%和0,与尿路上皮癌中的65.6%、31.1%和31.1%相比差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。CD133、CD82/KAI1及VM的阳性表达与pTNM分期和肿瘤复发显著相关(P<0.01),但与性别、年龄或肿瘤数量无关(P>0.05)。CD133表达与VM呈正相关(P=0.487,P<0.05),CD82/KAI1表达与VM呈负相关(r=-0.452,P<0.01),与CD133呈负相关(r=-0.776,P<0.05)。
CD133和CD82/KAI1蛋白的表达参与膀胱尿路上皮癌VM的发生,促进膀胱癌的侵袭和复发。
