Résumé
Conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is primarily treated with surgical resection. SCC has various stages, and local recurrence is common. The purpose of this study was to investigate thrombospondin-1 expression and its association with prognosis. In this retrospective study, a gene expression array along with immunohistochemistry were performed for the evaluation of thrombospondin-1 expression, localization, as well as Ki67 labeling cell indices in carcinoma in situ (Tis) and advanced conjunctival SCC (Tadv). The presence or absence and intensity of cytoplasmic and nuclear staining in tumor cells were also divided into groups with a score of 0-3 and semi-quantitatively analyzed to investigate intracellular staining patterns. The association between thrombospondin-1 expression and tumor progression in a series of 31 conjunctival SCCs was further investigated. All 31 patients in the cohort (100%) were East Asian. A simple comparison between Tis and Tadv demonstrated significant differences in expressions of 45 genes, including thrombospondin-1 (p < 0.01). In this cohort, 30/31 tumors were positive (96%) for thrombospondin-1. Furthermore, thrombospondin-1 intracellular staining pattern analysis scores were 2.12 and 0.96 for nuclear and cytoplasmic staining, respectively, with a significant difference observed between Tis and Tadv (p < 0.01). Alteration of the Ki67 labeling index was significantly correlated with that of the thrombospondin-1 cytoplasmic score (p = 0.030). Furthermore, univariate Cox regression analysis showed a significant correlation between thrombospondin-1 staining and progression-free survival (p = 0.026) and final orbital exenteration (p = 0.019). The present results demonstrated that thrombospondin-1 is a potential molecular target in the pathology of conjunctival SCC, in addition to serving as a prognostic factor.
