The results showed that the proportion of CD45+CD14+CD163+ mono-macrophage subset infiltrated by tumor tissue was significantly higher than that in paracarcinoma tissues. In bladder cancer tissue, the expression rate of CD40 in CD45+CD14+CD163- mono-macrophage subset was significantly lower than that in CD45+CD14+CD163+ mono-macrophage subset. Similar results were found in the paracarcinoma tissues. We found that, as the proportion of CD11b+F4/80+CD206+ mono-macrophages increased gradually, the difference was statistically significant. CD163+/CD206+ mono-macrophages in bladder cancer microenvironment are abnormally elevated, and these cells are closely related to tumor progression. CD40 may be an important molecule that exerts biological function in this subset. |
