Expression and clinicopathological significance of Foxp3 and VISTA in cervical cancer.
American journal of translational research(2021)
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:To detect the expression differences of Foxp3 and VISTA in chronic cervical inflammation, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and cervical cancer, and to explore the role of Foxp3 and VISTA in the development of cervical cancer and the effect of Foxp3 and VISTA on the prognosis of cervical cancer, to provide a theoretical basis for clinical immunotherapy of cervical cancer.
METHODS:We collected 130 paraffin specimens of cervical tissue, which included 70 cases of cervical cancer tissue, 40 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia tissues and 20 cases of chronic cervicitis. The expression of Foxp3 and VISTA in each group was detected, and the study was conducted based on the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients. The patients were followed up and the prognosis was statistically analyzed.
RESULT:1. The expression of Foxp3 and VISTA was statistically different between the cervical cancer group and other groups. 2. Expressions of Foxp3 and VISTA were significantly correlated. 3. In 70 cases of cervical cancer, the expression of Foxp3 and VISTA was related to the clinical stage. 4. The 3-year survival rate of 70 patients with cervical cancer was 72.9%, and there were no factors affecting 3-year OS found. The expression of Foxp3 and VISTA was significantly correlated with the prognosis of cervical cancer. Foxp3 and VISTA double positive expression group had the worst prognosis.
CONCLUSION:1. In cervical cancer, the expression of Foxp3 and VISTA was significantly higher than that of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and chronic cervicitis, which suggested that they were closely related to the occurrence and growth of cervical cancer. 2. The expression of Foxp3 and VISTA was significantly related. 3. The positive expression of Foxp3 and VISTA could be used as independent prognostic factors for cervical cancer prognosis providing a strong basis for cervical cancer immunotherapy.
