Mesenchymal Stem Cell Marker Expression in Gastric Cancer Stroma
2019
Overview
Spindle-shaped stromal cells of tumors are derived from various cellular origins, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs express CD73, CD90 and CD105 antigens. Herein, the aim was to investigate the association between the expression of specific MSC markers in gastric cancer stromal cells and the clinicopathological features of the disease.
The expression of CD73, CD90 and CD105 in spindle-shaped cancer stromal cells was studied by immunohistochemistry in tissue arrays containing 546 gastric cancer cases. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the association of MSC marker expression with clinicopathological variables.
Spindle-shaped cancer stromal cells expressing the MSC markers CD73, CD90 or CD105 were associated with larger tumor size, advanced cancer, venous infiltration, lymphatic infiltration, and lymph node metastasis. Statistical analysis demonstrated that the presence of CD105-positive spindle cells was an independent prognostic factor of advanced cancer, lymph node metastasis and EBV infection in multivariate analysis.
Spindle-shaped gastric cancer stromal cells expressing CD73, CD90 or CD105 are involved in disease progression, and among them, CD105-positive cells are strongly associated with poor prognosis.
