The density of microvessels positive for Wilms' tumour-1 protein (WT-1) is an independent predictor of recurrence risk in meningiomas.

Abstract:

:Wilms' tumour-1 (WT-1) protein m-RNA was recently demonstrated in meningiomas, suggesting the potential application of WT-1 immunotherapy in these tumours. The aim of the present study was to analyze the immunohistochemical expression of WT-1 protein, its correlation with the clinico-pathological variables and association with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, in a series of 60 meningiomas of different histotype and histological grade. None of the cases expressed WT-1 in the neoplastic cells, while endothelial expression was evidenced in a variable number of tumour vessels in all the meningiomas. The density of microvessels positive for WT-1 (WT-1 MVD) was significantly higher in meningiomas showing higher histological grade (P = 0.0191), growth fraction (P = 0.0201), expression of VEGF (P = 0.0288) and recurrence risk (P = 0.022). In addition, high WT-1 MVD was a significant independent predictive factor for a shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with completely resected meningiomas (P = 0.0028). In conclusion, this study shows that WT-1 MVD is correlated with the biological aggressiveness of meningiomas. Although no staining for WT-1 was evidenced in the neoplastic cells of these tumours, WT-1 endothelial expression in the tumour vessels might represent a target for WT-1 immunotherapy in the aim of reducing their blood supply and growth.
