Abstract | Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy in the urinary tract, and is biologically and clinically quite heterogeneous. Around 90% of diagnoses are made in the 6 Objective: To investigate the protein expression of PD-L1 and GSK-3β and the CD8-positive immune infiltrates in bladder carcinomas. Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 140 samples of urothelial carcinomas from 2015 to 2018. Automated digitally assisted scoring and conventional analyses of the markers of GSK-3β (27C10), CD8 (7103β) and PDL-1 (22c3), were reviewed by two pathologists independently and a histologic score was calculated. The density of CD8 was also measured. Results: The immunoexpression of GSK-3β (91%) was presented in most samples, PD-L1 in 62.9% and CD8 cells present in 46.3% of cases. When analyzed in conjunction, the levels of GSK-3β and PD-L1 (P = 0.033), and CD8 and PD-L1 (P<0.002) showed significant correlations. No significant associations were observed between GSK-3β and CD8. The positivity of GSK-3β and PD-L1 was predominant in high-grade tumors. Conclusion: Despite the tumor microenvironment heterogeneity, the expression of CD8, GSK-3β and PDL1 could be valuable and GSK-3β could be a potential target in advanced bladder cancer, especially in the context of immunotherapy. |
