Increased expression of human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen-G in colorectal cancer cells.

Abstract:

:Human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G is a nonclassical major histocompatibility complex class I molecule. HLA-G is known to provide tolerance from recognition by natural killer cells. We studied HLA-G expression in 39 human colorectal cancers and 23 extra-neoplastic colon tissue samples by RT-PCR. The expression of HLA-G mRNA was significantly more frequent in colorectal cancer (34 of 39 cases) than in the extraneoplastic tissue (10 of 23 specimens; chi2 test, p = 0.0003). HLA-G expression was also confirmed on the cancer cells immunohistochemically. These results suggested that HLA-G on colorectal cancer cells may be correlated with escape from immunological surveillance during colon cancer development.
