Abstract Objective To detect expressions of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in tumor cells (TC) and tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC) of bladder cancer and investigate its clinical significance. Methods The paraffin-embedded specimens of 87 patients with bladder cancer undergoing surgery in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2018 to December were collected. The expressions of PD-L1 in TC and IC were detected by immunohistochemical SP263 staining. Results The positive rate of PD-L1 expression in bladder cancer IC was higher than that in TC, and the difference was highly statistically significant (P < 0.01), while there was a positive correlation between them (P < 0.01). The positive expressions of PD-L1 in TC of bladder cancer were related to age, gender and pathological grade, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). While the positive expressions in IC were associated with age, pathological grade, myometrial invasion, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The abnormal up-regulation of PD-L1 expression in TC and IC of bladder cancer tissues may be closely related to the occurrence and development of bladder cancer.
