Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinic significance of vascular endothelial cell growth factor ( VEGF) expression and dendritic cells ( DCs ) infiltration in colon cancer tissues , and to analysis the correlation between the sera VEGF with DCs activation.Methods:The expressions of VEGF and S-100 protein in colon carcinoma tissue and pericarcinous tissue were determined by immumohistochemistry.The serum VEGF level of colon carcinoma patients in preoperation and healthy subjects was detected using ELISA.Peripheral blood monocytes were isolated in preoperative patients and healthy subjects and induced to DCs by TNF -αin vitro.The surface expression of CD 83 in DCs was assayed with flow cytometry.Results: Expression of VEGF protein positive in colon carcinoma tissue was significantly higher than the pericarcinous tissue (P<0.01),while S-100 positive expression of colon carcinoma tissue was significantly lower than the pericarcinous tissue ( P<0.01 ).The serum VEGF level in colon carcinoma patients was significantly higher than healthy subjects ( P<0.01 ) ,while the CD83 level in peripheral blood DCs was significantly lower than healthy subjects ( P<0.01 ).The expression of VEGF and S-100 protein in colon carcinoma tissue was correlated with tumor differentiation , stage and lymph node metastasis ( P<0.01 ).The expression of VEGF was inversely correlated with S-100 ( P<0.01 ) in colon carcinoma tissue , while positively correlated with the serum VEGF ( P<0.01 ) and inversely correlated with DCs activation.The infiltration degree of DCs was inversely correlated with serum VEGF , and positively correlated with the DCs activation.Conclusion:VEGF expression in colon carcinoma tissue and DCs infiltration co-participate in the progress of colon cancer ,and VEGF could inhibit the infiltration and activation of DCs.
