Abstract:
Objective To explore the role of B7-H3 in the Tie2 expressing monocytes (TEMs) mediated angiogenesis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).Methods Level of B7-H3 expression on TEMs surface was detected by flow cytometry in ccRCC tissues and normal renal tissues,which were obtained from April 2016 to August 2016 from 20 patients.Microvessel density (MVD) labeled by CD34 in high B7-H3 + TEMs group and low B7-H3 + TEMs group was detected by immunohistochemical examination in ccRCC specimens.B7-H3 + TEMs and B7-H3-TEMs were co-cultured with the 786-O cell lines,and B7-H3 + TEMs and B7-H3-TEMs culture supernatants were collected as conditioned medium,then the effect of B7-H3 + TEMs on angiogenesis was tested by tubule formation assay and mouse aortic ring assay.Results Flow cytometry showed that the frequency of B7-H3 expression on TEMs in ccRCC was (45.10 ± 17.78)％,and the frequency of B7-H3 expression in normal kidney tissues was (10.28 ± 4.28) ％.The frequency of B7-H3 expression on TEMs was significantly higher than that in normal renal tissues (P ＜ 0.001).The MVD of high B7-H3 + TEMs group (103.81 ± 29.28) was higher than that of low B7-H3 + TEMs group (76.55 ± 20.80) (P =0.027).The results of tube formation assay showed that the number of tubule formation of HUVEC in B7-H3 +TEMs group(55.25 ± 11.48) was significantly greater than that of B7-H3-TEMs group (31.34 ± 8.45) and blank control group (25.00 ± 6.74) (P ＜ 0.001).The results of mouse aortic ring assay showed that the number of neovascularization in B7-H3 + TEMs group(77.35 ± 18.47) was significantly greater than that of B7-H3-TEMs group (39.42 ± 8.29) and blank control group (28.79 ± 7.63) (P ＜0.001).Conclusions B7-H3 + TEMs can promote angiogenesis in ccRCC,and might act as an effective target in anti-angiogenic therapy for ccRCC.
