Abstract

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study is to indicate the role of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), soluble uPAR (suPAR), and beta1 integrin in tumor growth and invasion of lymph nodes from Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, 25 lymph nodes from HL patients were analyzed for the expression of beta1 integrin and uPAR on mononuclear cells using two-color flow cytometry and immunohistochemical analysis. Moreover, the levels of suPAR in the serum samples of HL patients were measured and compared with 32 healthy controls. RESULTS: Flowcytometry and immunohistochemical results indicated no significant association of uPAR expression with tumor size, different stages, or different histological subtypes of HL; however, an increased expression of beta1 integrin was detected in the advanced stages of HL. Higher expression of beta1 integrin was detected in nodular sclerosis compared to lymphocyte predominant. No significant difference was observed between the serum levels of suPAR in patients with different stages of HL and healthy controls. Moreover, the levels of suPAR were significantly higher in nodular sclerosis in comparison with other subtypes. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that the levels of suPAR and beta1 integrin varied between different histological subtypes of HL. Although uPAR may play only a minor role in the growth and metastasis of lymphoma, beta1 integrin may be important in predicting prognosis and metastasis in HL.
