Abstract: The aim of this study was to clarify the associations between expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I on non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, and patient survival. To address this, immunohistochemical staining for HLA class I was performed on specimens from 111 patients with NSCLC, and overall survival curves were compared using the log-rank test. In addition, multivariate analyses were undertaken using Cox's proportional hazard model. The cases were divided into five classes based on expression of HLA class I heavy chain and β2-microglobulin. Overall survival for patients with tumors lacking HLA class I heavy chain (30 cases; 27.0%) was significantly compromised. Multivariate analysis revealed the absence of HLA class I heavy chain to be an independent predictor of poor prognosis. There was a trend towards unfavorable prognosis for those patients whose tumors did not express β2-microglobulin (57 cases; 51.4%). Down-regulation of HLA class I heavy chain expression significantly correlated with down-regulation of β2-microglobulin expression (χ2; 44 p<0.01). Cases lacking both HLA class I heavy chain and β2-microglobulin expression (23 cases; 20.7%) had a statistically significant unfavorable prognosis compared with other cases (p<0.05). Our data demonstrate that lack of HLA class I heavy chain expression in tumor cells is an independent poor prognostic factor for NSCLC survival, and is likely to have an important influence on immune surveillance in patients.
