Abstract
AIM: To investigate the expression of OX40 and SLP-2 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESSC) and to analyze their correlation with clinicopathological status of ESSC patients.
METHODS: The expression of OX40 and SLP-2 was detected by immunohistochemistry in 94 ESSC tissues, 31 adjacent atypical hyperplasia tissues and 3 adjacent normal esophageal tissues. The correlation between OX40 and SLP-2 expression and clinicopathological features of ESSC was analyzed.
RESULTS: OX40 and SLP-2 expression in ESCC (54.3%, 50.0%) was significantly higher than that in atypical hyperplasia tissue and histologically normal esophageal mucosa (3.2%, 6.5%) (χ2 = 26.374, 20.988, P < 0.05). Furthermore, the expression of OX40 and SLP-2 was significantly associated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. OX40 expression was correlated with SLP-2 expression in ESCC.
CONCLUSION: The high expression of OX40 and SLP-2 in ESCC may directly influence tumor invasiveness and metastasis. OX40 expression is correlated with SLP-2 expression in ESCC.
