Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to an immunostaining reagent for detecting MHC-II expression of a gastric cancer biopsy sample. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gastric and gastroesophageal junction (G / GEJ) cancer ranks fifth in newly diagnosed malignancies worldwide and fourth in cancer-related deaths. Despite the latest progress in multidisciplinary or multimodal therapy, the prognosis of patients with locally advanced disease is still poor, with a median overall survival (OS) of only 34.4 months and a 5-year OS rate of only 38.7%. According to the guidelines of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO), perioperative therapy combined with D2 gastrectomy has become the standard treatment for locally advanced G / GEJ cancer (cT3-4aN+M0). However, the optimal perioperative treatment regimen and sequence are still unclear. Although more than 90% of high R0 resection rates have been achieved through perioperative therapy, optimizing the treatment regimen is necessary to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with locally advanced G / GEJ cancer.

[0003] The importance of screening G / GEJ cancer patients to determine which patients may benefit from perioperative immunotherapy. Currently, the biomarkers related to the efficacy of immunotherapy mainly include PD-L1 expression, microsatellite instability (MSI) status, EBV infection status, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). In theory, cancer patients showing high PD-L1 expression, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) status, or EBV infection tend to exhibit enhanced reactivity to immunotherapy. Nevertheless, other patients may not fully respond to immunotherapy. Therefore, it is crucial to further explore increasingly precise biomarkers to determine the most suitable candidates for immunotherapy and improve their efficacy.

[0004] Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, also known as human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules, are currently found to be recognized by the immune system through major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) to recognize tumor cells, and MHCs are cell surface receptors that bind foreign peptides and present them to T lymphocytes. Among them, MHC-II class molecules are encoded by polymorphic MHC genes and consist of a non-covalent complex of alpha and beta chains. Helper T lymphocytes bind to antigen peptides presented by MHC-II class molecules. MHC-II class molecules bind to 13-18 amino acid antigen peptides. The accumulation of HLA-DM and -DO molecules in the endosomal / lysosomal compartment and on the surface of B cells regulates the binding of foreign peptides to class II molecules (HLA-DR) by maintaining a conformation that facilitates peptide exchange, which is expressed in various tumor tissues and is essential for antigen presentation to CD4+ T lymphocytes, and the role of CD4+ T lymphocytes in anti-tumor immunity is also increasingly emphasized. MHC-II is associated with a higher number of CD4+ and CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), lack of lymphatic vessel invasion, increased formation of tertiary lymphoid structures, upregulation of genes associated with activation of the IFN-gamma pathway (including the CD274 gene encoding PD-L1), and higher levels of IFNG, IL2 and IL12 mRNA (Th1 cytokines). In general, increased expression of MHC-II or related pathway components in tumor cells is associated with better prognosis and increased anti-tumor immunity, so MHC-II plays an important role in immunotherapy.

[0005] MHC-II expression can be detected by immunohistochemical staining techniques, but MHC-II expression has not yet become a routine detection indicator in clinical pathology, so there is no uniform standard and method for its preparation, staining, and interpretation, and its screening value still needs more clinical and basic verification. Therefore, the prior art still needs a technology that can obtain high-quality and accurate MHC-II immunohistochemical staining sections in a short time and perfect and accurate pathological section interpretation standards.

[0092] A method for preparing an immunohistochemical staining section: the preparation of the immunohistochemical staining section in this embodiment is compared with that in Example 2, the difference is that no amino-polyethylene glycol-galactose is used in the mixed buffer, and other conditions and parameters are the same as in Example 2.

[0093] Experimental Example 1:

[0094] Evaluation of background staining intensity, the immunohistochemical staining sections prepared from Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were evaluated for background staining intensity. "-": indicates no staining; "±": weakly positive and very weak locally; "+": indicates diffuse and weakly positive; "++": diffuse and moderately positive. "+++ ": diffuse and strongly positive.

[0095] Table 1 Results of evaluation of background staining intensity of immunohistochemical staining sections

[0096]

[0097] The results of background staining intensity are shown in Table 1. The background staining intensity of the immunohistochemical staining sections prepared by the immunohistochemical staining method of Example 2 is lower than that of Example 1, indicating that the use of hydrazine derivative buffer and amino-polyethylene glycol-galactose liquid effectively reduces the background staining intensity, thereby reducing the interference on subsequent interpretation. The background staining intensity of the immunohistochemical staining sections prepared by the immunohistochemical staining method of Example 5 is lower than that of Example 2, indicating that on the basis of the use of hydrazine derivative buffer and amino-polyethylene glycol-galactose liquid, the use of glycerol polyoxyethylene ether cocoate can further improve the accuracy and specificity of staining and reduce the background staining intensity. The background staining intensity of the immunohistochemical staining sections prepared by the immunohistochemical staining method of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is higher than that of Example 2, indicating that hydrazine derivative buffer and amino-polyethylene glycol-galactose liquid need to work together, and the use of either of hydrazine derivative buffer and amino-polyethylene glycol-galactose liquid alone has no significant effect on reducing the background staining intensity.

[0098] Experimental Example 2:

[0099] Evaluation of gastric cancer tumor pathology based on MHC II expression. First, the biopsy tissue blocks of patients with first diagnosis of gastric and gastroesophageal junction tumors were obtained, and immunohistochemical staining sections were obtained according to the preparation method of the immunohistochemical staining sections in Example 1, and the staining results were interpreted according to the interpretation criteria and staining results were divided into negative and positive expression populations. The interpretation criteria are as follows:

[0100] 0: no coloring or ≤10% of cancer cells showing incomplete, weak cell membrane staining;

[0101] 1+: >10% of cancer cells showing incomplete, weak cell membrane staining;

[0102] 2+: >10% of cancer cells showing weak to moderate intensity complete cell membrane staining, and ≤10% of cancer cells showing strong and complete cell membrane staining;

[0103] 3+: 10% of cancer cells present strong, complete and uniform cell membrane staining.

[0104] As shown in Figure 1 , negative expression is scored as 0 or 1+, and positive expression is scored as 2+ or 3+.

[0105] Then, pathological remission evaluation was performed on the negative and positive expression populations, respectively. 235 patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical resection after neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy + immunotherapy) were analyzed by chi-square test. Pathological complete remission rate (pCR) refers to the absence of residual tumor cells under an optical microscope (including lymph nodes, stage ypT0N0M0), and major pathological remission rate (mPR) refers to tumor regression grade (TRG) of 0 or 1. The pathological remission evaluation criteria are shown in Table 1.

[0106] Table 2. Tumor pathological remission evaluation criteria

[0107]

[0108] The evaluation results are shown in Figure 2 , and the expression level of MHC II is significantly correlated with pCR and mPR, indicating the potential importance of MHC II in the pathological remission evaluation of gastric cancer.

[0109] Example 3:

[0110] To detect the sensitivity and specificity, 50 paraffin blocks of biopsy tissues from patients with gastric and gastroesophageal junction tumors (gastric cancer group) and 50 paraffin blocks of tissues from patients without gastric and gastroesophageal junction tumors (non-gastric cancer group) were taken. Immunohistochemical staining sections were prepared according to the preparation method of immunohistochemical staining sections in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2. The staining results of the immunohistochemical staining sections were interpreted according to the interpretation criteria in Example 2, and the sensitivity and specificity were statistically calculated.

[0111] Table 3. Statistical calculation results of sensitivity and specificity

[0112]

[0113] The sensitivity and specificity statistical calculation results are shown in Table 3. The immunohistochemical staining sections prepared according to Example 2 are interpreted, and the sensitivity and specificity are statistically calculated. The sensitivity and specificity are higher than those of Example 1, indicating that the use of hydrazine derivative buffer and amino-polyethylene glycol-galactose liquid effectively improves the binding capacity with the target antigen; the sensitivity and specificity calculated according to Example 5 are higher than those of Example 2, indicating that on the basis of using hydrazine derivative buffer and amino-polyethylene glycol-galactose liquid, the use of glycerol polyoxyethylene ether coconut oil acid ester can further reduce the background intensity and non-specificity of staining, thereby improving the sensitivity and specificity; the sensitivity and specificity calculated according to Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are lower than those of Example 2, indicating that hydrazine derivative buffer and amino-polyethylene glycol-galactose liquid need to act together, and the use of any one of hydrazine derivative buffer and amino-polyethylene glycol-galactose liquid alone has no obvious effect on improving the sensitivity and specificity of staining.
