摘要: 目的:探讨嘌呤能受体X1(P2RX1)与浆液性卵巢癌(OV)患者的临床病理指标及肿瘤微环境免疫细胞浸润的关系,为OV免疫治疗提供新的线索。方法:以OV患者的血清和卵巢癌组织为研究对象,分别以健康成年人和非癌症患者为对照,采用免疫组织化学(IHC)、逆转录荧光定量PCR(RT-qPCR)、酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)及生物信息学方法研究OV中P2RX1的表达模式。利用TCGA数据库分析P2RX1 mRNA的表达水平与OV患者不同临床病理指标的相关性;筛选差异基因,分析OV中P2RX1参与的信号通路及其生物学功能;分析P2RX1与免疫细胞浸润丰度、肿瘤免疫相关基因、免疫检查点等的相关性。结果:IHC检测结果显示,P2RX1主要表达于正常卵巢上皮中;RT-qPCR检测结果显示,与非癌组织相比,P2RX1 mRNA在OV中低表达(P<0.05);ELISA分析结果显示,与正常对照血清相比,P2RX1蛋白在OV患者血清中低表达(P<0.05)。检索TCGA数据库,结果显示高表达P2RX1的OV患者总生存期较长,预后较好(P<0.05)。P2RX1与OV患者的肿瘤纯度和年龄有关(P<0.05)。富集分析结果显示不同P2RX1表达水平的OV患者其差异表达基因主要富集于免疫细胞分化、发育等生物学进程。P2RX1与OV中TGFB1、SLAMF7、CD27等多个免疫检查点有关。P2RX1与B细胞标记包括CD79A、CD79B、CD19明显正相关(均为r>0.4,P<0.05)。结论:在OV中P2RX1的低表达与患者预后不良有关,P2RX1可能参与OV肿瘤微环境免疫细胞浸润、分化等进程。

Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To investigate correlations between purinergic receptor X1 (P2RX1) and different clinical pathological factors and tumor infiltration parameters in patients with ovarian serous carcinoma (OV),and to provide new clues for OV immunotherapy. METHODS:Serum samples and tissues were collected from OV patients. Healthy adults and non-cancer patients were used as controls. Immunohistochemistry (IHC),reverse transcriptation fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR),enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and bioinformatics methods were used to determine expression patterns of P2RX1 in samples from patients. The TCGA database was used to analyze correlations between expression levels of P2RX1 and different clinicopathological indicators in the patients;to screen differential gene expressions,to identify signaling pathways and biological functions of P2RX1;and to analyze correlations between P2RX1 and immune cell infiltration abundance and tumor immunity. RESULTS:The IHC results show that P2RX1 was mainly expressed in normal ovarian epithelium;the RT-qPCR results show that expression of P2RX1 mRNA was lower in OV than in non-cancer tissues (P<0.05);the ELISA results show that the expression of P2RX1 protein in the serum of the patients was lower than that of normal healthy adults (P<0.05). Results from analysis of the TCGA database show that patients with higher expression of P2RX1 had longer survival rates and better prognosis (P<0.05) than those with lower expressions. P2RX1 was associated with tumor purity and age of the patients (P<0.05). Results from the enrichment analysis show that the differentially expressed genes of P2RX1 were mainly enriched in biological processes such as immune cell differentiation and development. P2RX1 was found to be associated with multiple immune checkpoints in OV,such as TGFB1,SLAMF7,and CD27. P2RX1 was significantly and positively correlated with B cell marker genes such as CD79A,CD79B,and CD19 in OV (r>0.4,P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Low expression of P2RX1 in OV was associated with poor prognosis in patients. P2RX1 might be involved in processes such as immune cell infiltration and differentiation in the microenvironment of OV patients.
