Endothelial markers platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1), cluster of differentiation (CD31) and endoglin (CD105) may be used to identify endothelium and activated endothelium, respectively, with the CD105/CD31 ratio used to measure neovascularity. This study investigated the hypothesis that neovascularity in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is associated with more aggressive RCC tumors and can be used to predict oncological outcomes. Multiplexed immunohistochemistry using antibodies to detect endoglin and PECAM-1 was performed on tissue microarray of benign kidney samples and RCC tumors including clear cell, papillary, chromophobe, and collecting duct and unclassified tumors (combined for statistics), and multispectral imaging was used for analysis. The CD105/CD31 ratio was compared with clinical and pathologic features of RCC as well as clinical outcomes after surgery using Cox proportional hazards regression and Kaplan-Meier analysis. A total of 502 tumor samples and 122 normal kidney samples from 251 RCC patients were analyzed. The average CD105/CD31 expression ratio, an indicator of neovascularization, was increased in higher pathologic stage tumors (P< .0001). Among RCC morphotypes, the ratio was lower in papillary RCC morphotype tumors (P= .001) and higher in collecting duct/unclassified tumors (P= .0001) compared with clear cell RCC. Among nuclear grades, grade 4 RCC displayed a significantly elevated CD105/CD31 ratio (P< .0001). In multivariable analysis, increased neovascularity was associated with decreased overall survival (hazard ratio, 1.54 [95% confidence interval, 1.06-2.23]; P= .02). In patients receiving anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy (VEGF, n = 13) for metastatic RCC, a low CD105/CD31 ratio was associated with increased survival (P= .02). We conclude that higher neovascularity is associated with worse outcomes after surgery for RCC. The ratio of CD105/CD31 expression is a potential indicator of response to anti-VEGF therapy.
内皮标志物血小板内皮细胞黏附分子(PECAM-1)、分化簇(CD31)和内皮糖蛋白(CD105)可分别用于识别内皮细胞和活化内皮细胞,CD105/CD31比值用于测量新生血管形成。本研究调查了以下假设:肾细胞癌(RCC)中的新生血管形成与侵袭性更强的RCC肿瘤相关,并且可用于预测肿瘤学结局。对良性肾样本和RCC肿瘤(包括透明细胞癌、乳头状癌、嫌色细胞癌、集合管癌和未分类肿瘤,合并统计)的组织微阵列进行多重免疫组化,使用抗体检测内皮糖蛋白和PECAM-1,并采用多光谱成像进行分析。使用Cox比例风险回归和Kaplan-Meier分析,将CD105/CD31比值与RCC的临床和病理特征以及手术后的临床结局进行比较。共分析了来自251例RCC患者的502个肿瘤样本和122个正常肾样本。作为新生血管形成指标的平均CD105/CD31表达比值在更高病理分期的肿瘤中升高(P<0.0001)。在RCC形态类型中,与透明细胞RCC相比,乳头状RCC形态类型肿瘤中的该比值较低(P=0.001),而在集合管/未分类肿瘤中较高(P=0.0001)。在核分级中,4级RCC的CD105/CD31比值显著升高(P<0.0001)。在多变量分析中,新生血管形成增加与总生存期降低相关(风险比,1.54[95%置信区间,1.06-2.23];P=0.02)。在接受抗血管内皮生长因子治疗(VEGF,n=13)的转移性RCC患者中,低CD105/CD31比值与生存期延长相关(P=0.02)。我们得出结论,较高的新生血管形成与RCC手术后较差的结局相关。CD105/CD31表达比值是对抗VEGF治疗反应的潜在指标。
