Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between programmed death 1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand 1(PD-L1) with clinicopathological characteristics in the patients with laryngeal carcinoma.Methods The expression levels of PD-1 and PD-L1 in 45 samples of laryngeal carcinoma tissue(laryngeal carcinoma group) and 37 samples of vocal cord polyp tissues(polyp group) were detected by using the immunohistochemical method.Then the relationship between PD-1 and PD-L1 with clinicopathological characteristics in the patients with laryngeal carcinoma was analyzed.Results The positive expression rates of PD-1 and PD-L1 in the laryngeal carcinoma group were 57.78％ and 66.67 ％ respectively.PD-1,PD-L1 mainly located in cytoplasm or cell membrane of laryngeal carcinoma cells or interstitial lymphocyte.The positive expression rates of PD-1 and PD-L1 in the polyp group were 8.11％ and 13.51％ respectively.The positive expression rates of PD-1 and PD-L1 in the laryngeal carcinoma group were significantly higher than those in the polyp group(P＜0.01).The expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 in laryngeal carcinoma tissue had a correlation.The positive expression rates of PD-1 and PD-L1 in the laryngeal carcinoma tissue of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly higher than those of stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P＜0.05).The positive expression rates of PD-1 and PD-L1 in highly differentiated laryngeal carcinoma tissue were significantly higher than those in moderately and lowly differentiated carcinoma tissue(P＜0.05).Conclusion PD-1 and PD-L1 play an important role in the occurrence and development of laryngeal carcinoma.The expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 is closely correlated to the clinical stage and differentiation degree of laryngeal carcinoma.
