Abstract:

Objective    To investigate the correlation between VEGF expression and the content of dendritic cells in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.  Methods    25 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 25 cases of nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissue were collected. The expressions of VEGF in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma and nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissues were detected by ELISA. The content of dendritic cells and regulatory T cells in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma and nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissues were detected by flow cytometry.  Then the correlation between VEGF expression and the content of dendritic cells was analyzed. Results     Expression of VEGF in nasopharyngeal carcinoma was higher than that in nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissues (t=12.324,P<0.01); the content of CD4+ lymphocyte in nasopharyngeal carcinoma was lower than that in nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissues(t=14.304, P<0.01). While the content of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in nasopharyngeal carcinoma was higher than that in nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissues, and the difference was statistically significant(t=5.910, P<0.01). The content of CD123+ dendritic cells in nasopharyngeal carcinoma was lower than that in nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissues, and the difference was statistically significant(t=7.866, P<0.01). The content of CD11c+ dendritic cells in nasopharyngeal carcinoma was lower than that in nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissues, and the difference was statistically significant(t=3.411, P<0.01). The expression of VEGF was positively correlated with the content of CD4+CD25+ lymphocytes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma(r=0.966, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with the content of CD123+ dendritic cells (r= -0.946, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with the content of CD11c+ dendritic cells(r=-0.954, P<0.01). Conclusion    Expression of VEGF is related to the content of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and the content of dendritic cells in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which may engage in the immune escape of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
