Abstract:Objective: To explore the relationship between the expression of programmed death receptor ligand-1(PD-L1) and the mutations of KI67 and EGFR in non-small-cell lung cancer. Methods: The expression of PD-L1(22C3)and Ki67 in 121 NSCLC tissues from November 2018 to July 2019 was detected with immunohistochemistry. The ARMS method was used to detect the mutations of the corresponding tissue EGFR gene, and the flow cytometry method was used to detect the proportion of serum CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. The biochemical luminescence method was used to detect LDH, CEA, CA199 and CY211. The χ2 analysis was used to analyze the differences in the distribution of PD-L1 expression in clinical factors, and the Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation between PD-L1 expression and EGFR gene, ki67 and blood indicators. Results: The low expression rate of PD-L1 was 38% (46/121), the high expression rate was 23.2% (28/121), the high expression rate of ki67 was 56.4% (57/101), and the EGFR mutation rate was 41.7% (20/48). The positive expression rate of PD-L1 in patients with stage III+IV and local lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than that in patients with I+II and without lymph node metastasis, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=6.636, 7.726, P<0.05). The positive expression rate of PD-L1 was significantly correlated with EGFR mutants, high ki67 expression, increased number of CD8+ cells, and increased LDH, and was positively correlated (P<0.05). Conclusion: The expression rate of PD-L1 (22C3) is high in patients with lung cancer, and the expression rate of PD-L1 is significantly increased in patients with advanced staging, lymph node metastasis, high expression of ki67, EGFR mutation, CD8+ T cell number, and LDH. Related to clinical indicators with poor prognosis, it is an indicator for screening Pembrolizumab treatment and may also become a potential prognostic marker for NSCLC.
