Background/Aim: Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1 )1 programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) axis is associated with immune tolerance via inhibition of T cell activation.The aim of this study was to clarify the significance of PD-1 and PD-Ll expressions and analyze the relationships between PD-1, PD-Ll , transforming growth factor beta- (TGF-beta) and Forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) expressions in colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients and Methods: A total of 116 patients who underwent curative colectomy for stage II/III CRC were included in the study. PD-1, PD-Ll , TGF/beta, and Foxp3 expressions were examined by immunohistochemistry and related to prognostic factors by Kaplan-Meier. Results: PD-1 expression was correlated with PD-L1, TGF-f3, and Foxp3 expressions.Overall survival rates were significantly poorer in the PD-1 and PD-Ll-positive groups. Multivariate analysis showed that PD-Ll -positive is an independent risk factor.Disease free survival (DFS) was tended in the PD-Ll-positive group.The group with double-positive expression had significantly poorer prognosis. Conclusion:P D-1 and PD-Ll expressions were associated with a poor prognosis and correlated with TGF-beta and Foxp3 expressions in patients with CRC.
