Iurchenko // Experimental Oncology. - 2021. - Том 43, N 2. - P135-141 MeSH-главная: КАРЦИНОМА ЭНДОМЕТРИОИДНАЯ -- CARCINOMA, ENDOMETRIOID (лекарственная терапия, метаболизм, патофизиология) Аннотация: The expression of the CXCL12 chemokine and its receptor CXCR4 in the stromal component of the tumor plays an important role in tumor cell migration, proliferation, inhibition of apoptosis and determination of invasive and metastatic potential of malignant neoplasms of various genesis. The significance of CXCL12 and CXCR4 expression in endometrial tumor cells for cancer progression is not fully understood. Aim: To evaluate the content of CXCL12+-fibroblasts and expression of CXCL12 and CXCR4 in endometrial cancer cells, depending on the tumor stage. Materials and Methods: Surgical material of 45 patients with endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium (ECE) of the stages I–II and III was studied using morphological and immunohistochemical methods. Results: In ECE of stage I–II CXCR4 expression was lower (43.3 ± 4.2%) while CXCL12 expression was higher (33.6 ± 2.4%) compared with the corresponding indices​​ in ECE of stage III (63.6 ± 3.5%, 24.5 ± 1.9%, respectively, p 0.05). In ECE of stage III, high expression of CXCR4 ( Me) and low CXCL12 ( Me) was observed in 80% of samples; these tumors invaded more than 1/2 of the myometrium. There was a positive correlation between the depth of tumor invasion in the myometrium and the presence of metastases and CXCR4 expression in tumor cells (R Me) (14.9 ± 1.3%) was detected. Conclusion: The obtained data reflect the communication of the immunosuppressive factor of the tumor microenvironment, i.e. CXCL12+-fibroblasts and CXCR4 expressing tumor cells. We suggest that the aggressiveness of ECE is determined by the combined effect of these two factors Доп.точки доступа: Movchan, O. M. Iurchenko, N. P. Свободных экз. нет
