Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are known as major antigen-presenting cells, and lymph nodes (LNs) play an important role in the DC-mediated immune response. This study focused on infiltration of CD1a-positive DCs (CD1a-DCs) in regional LNs in 70 cases of gallbladder cancer (GBC). The results showed that LNs infiltration by CD1a-DCs was associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes in patients with GBC in univariate analyses, but all cases categorized as CD1a-DCs high group at regional LNs had nodal metastasis. Therefore, LNs infiltration by CD1a-DCs was not an independent prognostic factor identified by multivariate analyses. The subgroup analyses in cases with LN metastasis group (n = 32), significant impact of CD1a-DCs infiltration into metastatic LNs was not observed. In contrast, CD1a-DCs infiltration into primary tumor had a significant impact on surgical outcomes. As the results of previous reports that focused on CD1a-DCs infiltration in regional LNs of other organs were varied, the role and significance of CD1a-DCs infiltration in regional LNs may be different according to the tumor histology or primary site. Accumulation of further studies is needed to clarify the role and significance of CD1a-DCs infiltration into regional LNs of solid cancers.
