Methods Cases of cervical cancer (n = 102), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN, n = 52), and benign uterine disease (n = 50) were selected. The positive rates of CD90 and CD177 in the cervical tissues were detected, and the significance of CD90 and CD177 expression was analyzed. Results The positive rate of CD90 in normal cervical tissue, CIN, and cervical cancer was 3.7%, 36.5%, and 79.4% respectively. The respective positive rates of CD177 were 1.8%, 32.7%, and 74.5%. The positive rates of CD90 and CD177 in cervical cancer tissues were the highest, followed by CIN tissues (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that pathological grade, lymph node metastasis, and tumor diameter were independent risk factors affecting the expression of CD90 and CD177 (each P < 0.05). There was a moderate positive correlation between CD90 and CD177 expression (r = 0.679, P = 0.003). The overall survival rate of 102 patients with cervical cancer was 64.7%. There were 33 deaths in the CD90 positive group and 3 in the negative group. The overall survival rates were 59.3% and 85.7% in the CD90 and negative group, respectively. There were 33 deaths in the CD177 positive group and 3 in the negative group. The overall survival rates were 56.6% and 88.5%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The expression of CD90 and CD177 has some adverse effects on the clinicopathological parameters of cervical cancer. The positive expression of CD90 and CD177 is a risk factor for poor prognosis.展开更多

Neutrophils migrate from the vasculature into the tissue in response to infection. Recently, a neutrophil cell surface receptor, CD177, was shown to help mediate neutrophil migration across the endothelium through interactions with PECAMI. We examined a publicly available gene array dataset of CD177 expression from human neutrophils following pulmonary endotoxin instillation. Among all 22,214 genes examined, CD177 mRNA was the most upregu- lated following endotoxin exposure. The high level of CD177 expression is also maintained in airspace neu- trophils, suggesting a potential involvement of CD177 in neutrophil infiltration under infectious diseases. To determine the role of CD177 in neutrophils in vivo, we constructed a CD177-genetic knockout mouse model. The mice with homozygous deletion of CD177 have no discernible phenotype and no significant change in immune cells, other than decreased neutrophil counts in peripheral blood. We examined the role of CD177 in neutrophil accumulation using a skin infection model with Staphylococcus aureus. CD177 deletion reducedneutrophil counts in inflammatory skin caused by S. aureus. Mechanistically we found that CD177 deletion in mouse neutrophils has no significant impact in CXCLI/ KC- or fMLP-induced migration, but led to significant cell death. Herein we established a novel genetic mouse model to study the role of CD177 and found that CD177 plays an important role in neutrophils.展开更多
