BACKGROUND:
Programmed death ligand 1 is tumor marker which is anti apoptotic factor (PD-L1, B7-H1, and CD274) and is a member of the B7 family of cell surface ligands that regulate T cell activation and immune responses.
THE AIMS OF STUDY :
To investigate the expression of Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1, B7-H1, CD274) in prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and normal prostatic tissue using anti-PD-L1 antibody; and to correlate the result of study with some clinico-pathological parameters such as the age of the patients and grade of tumor.
PATIENTS AND METHODS:
A retrospective case control study, included 90 cases was divided into three groups include 30 cases of Prostate cancer; 30 cases of benign prostate hyperplasia and 30 cases of normal prostatic tissue.
RESULTS:
Programmed death ligand 1was expressed in 10% of Prostate cancer cases and there is no expression in benign Prostatic hyperplasia and normal prostatic tissue. In Programmed death ligand1positive cases there is a significant correlation with age of patients, high Gleason score.
CONCLUSION:
Immunohistochemically, it is concluded that the expression of Programmed death ligand 1 increases as the age of the patient increases, high Gleason score and there is no expression of Programmed death ligand 1in benign prostate hyperplasia and normal control tissue.
