Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine malignancy of the skin. The cell of origin of MCC is thus far unknown and proposed cells of origin include Merkel cells, pro-/pre- or pre-B cells, epithelial stem cells, and dermal stem cells. In this study, we aimed to shed further light on the possibility that a subset of MCC tumors arise from epithelial stem cells of the skin by examining the expression of hair follicle and epidermal stem cell markers in MCC and normal human skin. We also aimed to elucidate any correlation between the expression of these markers and tumor Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) status or other clinicopathological characteristics or patient survival. Expression of CK19, SOX9, LGR5, and LRIG1 in MCC and normal human skin was studied by immunohistochemistry, and the staining patterns or intensities were statistically correlated with patient, tumor, MCPyV, and survival parameters. In a cohort of 137 cases of MCC, we observed dot-like immunoexpression of CK19 in 30 cases (22.1%) and homogeneous expression in 103 cases (75.7%). We also observed positive immunoexpression of SOX9 in 21 cases (15.3%), LGR5 in 118 cases (86.1%), and LRIG1 in 117 cases (86.0%). Immunoexpression of LRIG1 was found to correlate with better overall and MCC-specific survival. We observed frequent immunoexpression of several hair follicle and epidermal stem cell markers in MCC and found LRIG1 to be a positive prognostic marker in MCC.

LRIG1 是 Merkel 细胞癌的阳性预后标志物,Merkel 细胞癌表达上皮干细胞标志物

默克尔细胞癌 (MCC) 是一种罕见的侵袭性皮肤神经内分泌恶性肿瘤。迄今为止,MCC 的起源细胞是未知的,并且提出的起源细胞包括默克尔细胞、前-/前-或前-B 细胞、上皮干细胞和真皮干细胞。在这项研究中,我们旨在通过检查 MCC 和正常人类皮肤中毛囊和表皮干细胞标记物的表达,进一步阐明 MCC 肿瘤的一个子集起源于皮肤的上皮干细胞的可能性。我们还旨在阐明这些标志物的表达与肿瘤默克尔细胞多瘤病毒 (MCPyV) 状态或其他临床病理学特征或患者存活率之间的任何相关性。通过免疫组织化学研究 CK19、SOX9、LGR5 和 LRIG1 在 MCC 和正常人皮肤中的表达,染色模式或强度与患者、肿瘤、MCPyV 和存活参数具有统计学相关性。在 137 例 MCC 的队列中,我们观察到 CK19 在 30 例 (22.1%) 中的点状免疫表达和 103 例 (75.7%) 中的均质表达。我们还观察到 SOX9 阳性免疫表达 21 例(15.3%),LGR5 阳性 118 例(86.1%),LRIG1 阳性 117 例(86.0%)。发现 LRIG1 的免疫表达与更好的总体存活率和 MCC 特异性存活率相关。我们观察到 MCC 中几种毛囊和表皮干细胞标志物的频繁免疫表达,并发现 LRIG1 是 MCC 中的阳性预后标志物。1%) 和 103 例 (75.7%) 的同源表达。我们还观察到 SOX9 阳性免疫表达 21 例(15.3%),LGR5 阳性 118 例(86.1%),LRIG1 阳性 117 例(86.0%)。发现 LRIG1 的免疫表达与更好的总体存活率和 MCC 特异性存活率相关。我们观察到 MCC 中几种毛囊和表皮干细胞标志物的频繁免疫表达,并发现 LRIG1 是 MCC 中的阳性预后标志物。1%) 和 103 例 (75.7%) 的同源表达。我们还观察到 SOX9 阳性免疫表达 21 例(15.3%),LGR5 阳性 118 例(86.1%),LRIG1 阳性 117 例(86.0%)。发现 LRIG1 的免疫表达与更好的总体存活率和 MCC 特异性存活率相关。我们观察到 MCC 中几种毛囊和表皮干细胞标志物的频繁免疫表达,并发现 LRIG1 是 MCC 中的阳性预后标志物。
