Abstract:
Purpose To investigate the consistency and reliability of immunohistochemistry(IHC)staining and polymerase chain reaction-capillary electrophoresis(PCR-CE)in the detection of microsatellite instability.Methods The clinical data of 735 patients with solid tumors who underwent biopsy or surgical resection were collected,and the microsatellite status of tissue samples was detected by IHC and PCR-CE.Results Among the 344 cases of colorectal cancer(CRC),IHC results showed that 290 cases(84.3%)had proficient mismatch repair(pMMR),and 54 cases(15.7%)had deficient mismatch repair(dMMR).The results of PCR-CE showed that 53 patients(15.4%)had high microsatellite instability(MSI-H),and 291 patients(84.6%)had microsatellite stable(MSS).The consistency analysis of IHC and PCR-CE results showed that the Kappa value was 0.923(P<0.001).Among the 168 cases of en-dometrial cancer(EC),IHC results showed that 42 cases(25.0%)had dMMR and 126 cases(75.0%)had pMMR;The results of PCR-CE showed that 39 cases(23.2%)had MSI-H and 129 cases(76.8%)had MSS.The consisten-cy analysis of the two methods showed that the Kappa value was 0.854(P<0.001).Among the 165 cases of gastric cancer,IHC results showed that 22(13.3%)had dMMR and 143(86.7%)had pMMR;The results of PCR-CE showed that 22 cases(13.3%)had MSI-H and 143 cases(86.7%)had MSS/low microsatellite instability(MSI-L).The consistency analysis of IHC and PCR-CE results showed that the Kappa value was 0.843(P<0.001).Among the 58 cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC),IHC results showed that 3 cases(5.2%)had dMMR and 55 cases(94.8%)had pMMR;The results of PCR-CE showed that 3 cases(5.2%)had MSI-H and 55 cases(94.8%)had MSS.The consistency analysis of the two methods showed that the Kappa value was 1.000(P<0.001).Conclusion IHC and PCR-CE have high consistency and reliability in detecting MSI status in patients with CRC,EC,gastric cancer and HNSCC,and their combined application is helpful to improve the accuracy of MSI detec-tion in patients with solid tumors.
