Abstract

Clinical significance CD14 nuclear immunostaining in the adjacent non-RCC kidney and serum sCD14 were significantly associated with RCC stage and adverse survival prognosis. The findings indicate that CD14 may be involved in RCC tumour progression and is a potential prognostic marker. Purpose: CD14-positive tumour and immune cells have been implicated in cancer progression. This study evaluated the prognostic significance of CD14 immunostaining in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) compared to the adjacent non-cancer kidney, and serum soluble CD14 (sCD14) levels in patients versus controls. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was performed for CD14 on ccRCC and the corresponding adjacent non-cancer kidney tissue from 88 patients. Staining intensity was determined using Aperio ImageScope morphometry. Serum sCD14 was evaluated for 39 ccRCC patients and 38 non-cancer controls using ELISA. CD14 levels were compared with tumour characteristics and survival status. Results: CD14 overall and nuclear immunostaining was higher in ccRCC compared to the adjacent non-cancer kidney tissue. CD14 nuclear immunostaining in the adjacent non-cancer kidney was significantly associated with advanced stage and adverse RCC survival prognosis. Serum sCD14 concentration was elevated in ccRCC patients compared to non-cancer controls and was also significantly associated with tumour stage and worse survival prognosis. Higher CD14 expression, in particular CD14 positive immune cell infiltrates found in the adjacent non-RCC kidney tissue, were associated with tumour progression and poorer prognosis. Conclusion: The levels of CD14 in non-RCC adjacent kidney and serum could be potential prognostic indicators.
