Description
Abstract
In endometrioid carcinomas (ECs) of the
uterine corpus, neutrophil accumulation within the
carcinoma cell clusters is a representative microscopic
finding. Because this accumulation is active, some sort
of transmitter ought to exist between the EC cells and
neutrophils. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and C-X-C motif
chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) is a cytokine that attracts
neutrophils in vivo. In this study, we investigated IL-8,
CXCL5 and C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2
(CXCR2) (their chemokine receptor) expressions in ECs
by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription
polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). There are few
reports on the relationship between these chemokines
and ECs. For comparison, we enrolled samples of
colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRAC), it is another
representative tumor with neutrophil infiltration. We
analyzed 30 ECs and 30 CRACs. We confirmed IL-8
expression (H-score ≥50 points) in 40% of EC and 7%
of CRAC samples; CXCL5 expression in 7% of EC and
10% of CRAC samples; CXCR2 expression in 83% of
EC and 53% of CRAC samples by immunohistochemistry. We examined each mRNA (IL-8 and CXCL5)
expression of 3 representative EC and 3 CRAC samples.
Finding IL-8 expression might indicate that this cytokine
is important for the process of neutrophil accumulation,
particularly within ECs. The participation of CXCL5
regarding neutrophil accumulation within their
carcinoma cell clusters might be restrictive compared to
IL-8.
