Objective:To explore the expression of B7-H4 in prostate cancer tissue and its value as a prognostic biomarker for poor survival. Methods:The protein expression of B7-H4 was measured by immunohistochemistry assay in 72 prostate cancer tissues and 50 benign prostatic hyperplasia tissues, the relationship between B7-H4 expression and over-all survival in prostate cancer patients was identified by Kaplan-Meier, the prognostic factors of patients were calculated by Cox proportional hazard regression model. Results:The high expression rate of B7-H4 in the prostate cancer group was 83.3% (60/72), while 32.0% (16/50) in the prostatic hyperplasia group, the high expression rate of B7-H4 in the prostate cancer group was significantly lower than that in the prostatic hyperplasia group, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=33.105, P<0.001). The high expression rate of B7-H4 in the 8-10 score group was markedly than that in the 2-7 score group, it was higher in Ⅲ-Ⅳ group than in the Ⅰ-Ⅱ group, also it was obviously higher in lymph node metastasis group was obviously higher than in the non-lymph node metastasis group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The median survival in the prostate cancer patients was negatively correlated with the Gleason score, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and B7-H4 expression (all P<0.05). Besides, Gleason score, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and B7-H4 were independent risk factors for the poor prognostic of prostate cancer (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The expression of B7-H4 is up-regulated in the prostate cancer, and its can be used as a biomarker for prognostic of prostate cancer patients. |
