Abstract:

Objective    To evaluate the relationship of expressions of plateletderived growth factor receptor(PDGFRβ) and podoplanin with cancerassociated fibroblasts(CAFs) and lymphangiogenesis in nonsmall lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods     Applying the immunohistochemical Elivision method, CAFs were labeled by αsmooth muscle actin(αSMA), and lymphatic vessels and expressions of PDGFR-β and podoplanin were detected in 80 cases of NSCLC and 20 adjacent normal tissues. The lymphatic microvessel density (LMVD) was counted by D2-40 as the specific marker of lymphatic endothelium. Relationships of expressions of PDGFR-β and podoplanin with CAFs, LMVD and clinicopathological features of NSCLC were then analyzed. Results    Expressions of PDGFR-β and podoplanin in the interstitium of NSCLC were both higher than those in adjacent normal tissues [PDGFR-β:  46.35%(39/80) vs 20%(4/20);podoplanin: 55.00%(44/80) vs 10%(2/20), both P<0.05]. Expressions of PDGF-β and podoplanin were closely related to CAFs. Expression of PDGFR-β in the interstitium of NSCLC was significantly correlated with that of podoplanin(r=0.380, P<0.05). LMVD in NSCLC was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues (U=93.00, P<0.05). LMVD was significantly higher in NSCLC with lymph node metastasis and PDGFR-β-or podoplanin-positive expression than that  with no lymph node metastasis and negative expression[lymph node metastasis:(26.06+16.41) vs (17.26+12.97), t=2.582,P<0.05;PDGFR-β:(27.63+15.46) vs (17.47+14.68), t=3.01,P<0.05; podoplanin:(27.70+17.68) vs (15.96+9.84), t=3.74,P<0.05]. Expression of PDGFR-β in the interstitium of NSCLC was correlated with differentiation (P<0.05). Expression of podoplanin in the interstitium of NSCLC was correlated with differentiation and lymph node metastasis(both P<0.05). ConclusionIn     NSCLC, expressions of PDGFR-β and podoplanin are closely related to CAFs, and can promote lymphangiogenesis.
