Abstract

To investigate the expression of B7 homolog 4 (B7-H4) and its clinical significance in endometrial cancer. A total of 833 patients with endometrial cancer admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2009 to 2019, were enrolled. The expression of B7-H4, mismatch repair (MMR), p53, programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein, and CD T lymphocyte density in endometrial cancer tissues were detected by the EnVision two-step method of immunohistochemical staining. First-generation sequencing (Sanger method) was used to determine molecular subtyping of endometrial cancer. The test was used to compare the differences in positive expression rate of B7-H4 protein in endometrial cancer tissues with different clinicopathological features and molecular subtyping, PD-L1 protein expression, and CD T lymphocyte density. Survival analyses [including recurrence-free survival (RFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS)] were performed for 664 patients with follow-up time≥3 months, with a median follow-up time of 31 months (range: 4-121 months), and the Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the relevant factors affecting the prognosis of patients with endometrial cancer. (1) The median age of 833 patients was 58 years (range: 25-88 years); pathological type: 595 with endometrioid carcinoma, 238 with non-endometrioid carcinoma; surgical-pathological staging: 542 cases at stage Ⅰ, 38 cases at stage Ⅱ, 173 cases at stage Ⅲ, and 45 cases at stage Ⅳ. Molecular subtyping was performed in 590 patients, including 50 with POLE mutation, 163 with mismatch repair defect (MMR-d) type, 246 with nospecific molecular change (NSMP) type, and 131 with p53 mutation subtype. (2) B7-H4 protein was expressed with brownish-yellow stainind in the cell membrane and cytoplasm of endometrial carcinoma, and the positivity rate of B7-H4 protein was 71.5% (596/833). The positivity rates of B7-H4 protein among patients with different age, surgical-pathological stage, tumor grade, pathological type, depth of muscular invasion, presence or absence of lymphovascular space invasion, and molecular subtype were significantly different (all <0.05). The positivity rates of B7-H4 protein among patients with different PD-L1 protein expression and CD T lymphocyte density were not significantly different (>0.05). The 5-year RFS (83.9%) and DSS (87.3%) of B7-H4 protein-positive patients had an increasing trend compared with the 5-year RFS (77.2%) and DSS (78.1%) of B7-H4 protein-negative patients, but there were not statistically significant differences (=0.053, =0.083). (3) Univariate analysis showed that the 5-year RFS and DSS of patients with different age, tumor grade, surgical-pathological stage, pathological type, depth of muscular invasion, lymphovascular space invasion, and molecular subtype were significantly different (all <0.01). There were no significant differences in 5-year RFS (=0.184, =0.113) and DSS (=0.549, =0.247) among patients with different CD T lymphocyte density and PD-L1 protein expression. Further analysis according to molecular subtype, the results of CD T lymphocyte density and PD-L1 protein expression showed that the 5-year RFS and DSS of B7-H4 protein-positive patients were higher than those of B7-H4 protein-negative patients with NSMP subtype, low density of CD T lymphocyte and PD-L1 protein-negative endometrial carcinoma (all <0.05), however, there was no significant difference in 5-year DSS between B7-H4 protein-positive patients and B7-H4 protein-negative patients with PD-L1 protein-negative endometrial cancer (=0.060). Multivariate analysis showed that positive expression of B7-H4 protein was an independent factor for 5-year RFS (=0.27, 95%: 0.09-0.78, =0.016) and DSS (=0.16, 95%: 0.05-0.58, =0.005) in patients with NSMP subtype endometrial carcinoma. In patients with low-density CD T lymphocytes endometrial cancer, positive expression of B7-H4 protein was an independent factor for 5-year RFS (=0.45, 95%: 0.26-0.80, =0.006), but it was not an independent factor for 5-year DSS. In patients with PD-L1 protein-negative endometrial cancer, B7-H4 protein was not an independent factor for 5-year RFS. B7-H4 protein expressed highly in endometrial carcinoma tissues, and its high expression is closely related to clinicopathological features, molecular subtype of p53 mutant and NSMP, and the favorable prognosis of patients with low density of CD T lymphocyte immunophenotype endometrial carcinoma.

摘要

探讨B7同源物4(B7-H4)在子宫内膜癌中的表达及其临床意义。选取2009年至2019年在中国医学科学院北京协和医院收治的833例子宫内膜癌患者。采用免疫组织化学EnVision两步法检测子宫内膜癌组织中B7-H4、错配修复(MMR)、p53、程序性细胞死亡配体1(PD-L1)蛋白表达及CD⁺T淋巴细胞密度。采用一代测序(Sanger法)确定子宫内膜癌分子分型。比较不同临床病理特征及分子分型的子宫内膜癌组织中B7-H4蛋白阳性表达率、PD-L1蛋白表达及CD⁺T淋巴细胞密度的差异。对664例随访时间≥3个月的患者进行生存分析[包括无复发生存期(RFS)和疾病特异性生存期(DSS)],中位随访时间为31个月(范围:4 - 121个月),采用Cox比例风险回归模型分析影响子宫内膜癌患者预后的相关因素。(1)833例患者中位年龄58岁(范围:25 - 88岁);病理类型:子宫内膜样癌595例,非子宫内膜样癌238例;手术病理分期:Ⅰ期542例,Ⅱ期38例,Ⅲ期173例,Ⅳ期45例。对590例患者进行分子分型,包括POLE突变型50例,错配修复缺陷(MMR-d)型163例,无特异性分子改变(NSMP)型246例,p53突变亚型131例。(2)B7-H4蛋白在子宫内膜癌细胞膜及胞质呈棕黄色染色,B7-H4蛋白阳性率为71.5%(596/833)。不同年龄、手术病理分期、肿瘤分级、病理类型、肌层浸润深度、有无脉管间隙浸润及分子亚型患者的B7-H4蛋白阳性率差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。不同PD-L1蛋白表达及CD⁺T淋巴细胞密度患者的B7-H4蛋白阳性率差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。B7-H4蛋白阳性患者的5年RFS(83.9%)和DSS(87.3%)较B7-H4蛋白阴性患者的5年RFS(77.2%)和DSS(78.1%)有升高趋势,但差异无统计学意义(P=0.053,P=0.083)。(3)单因素分析显示,不同年龄、肿瘤分级、手术病理分期、病理类型、肌层浸润深度、脉管间隙浸润及分子亚型患者的5年RFS和DSS差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.01)。不同CD⁺T淋巴细胞密度及PD-L1蛋白表达患者的5年RFS(P=0.184,P=0.113)和DSS(P=0.549,P=0.247)差异无统计学意义。按分子分型进一步分析,CD⁺T淋巴细胞密度及PD-L1蛋白表达结果显示,B7-H4蛋白阳性患者的5年RFS和DSS高于NSMP亚型、CD⁺T淋巴细胞低密度及PD-L1蛋白阴性的B7-H4蛋白阴性子宫内膜癌患者(均P<0.05),然而,PD-L1蛋白阴性的B7-H4蛋白阳性患者与B7-H4蛋白阴性患者的5年DSS差异无统计学意义(P=0.060)。多因素分析显示,NSMP亚型子宫内膜癌患者中,B7-H4蛋白阳性表达是5年RFS(P=0.27,95%CI:0.09 - 0.78,P=0.016)和DSS(P=0.16,95%CI:0.05 - 0.58,P=0.005)的独立因素。在CD⁺T淋巴细胞低密度的子宫内膜癌患者中,B7-H4蛋白阳性表达是5年RFS(P=
