Abstract
Background: Esophageal cancer was hardly diagnosed in early stage, and more potential biomarkers should be found. Methods: 252 patients and normal controls which recruited in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, were divided into esophageal carcinoma group (105 cases), disease control group (75 cases) and the control group of healthy people (72 cases). Moreover, TISIDB and GEPIA databases were used to investigate the different expression of EC and normal tissues, and explore the roles of C1q in tumor-immune system interactions in EC. Results: The concentration of serum C1q in EC group is 196.8(180~219.4) mg/L, which is higher than the level of DC [178.10(153.70~200.85) mg/L]and HC [183.00(167.75~201.00) mg/L] (P<0.05). A higher expression level of C1q was observed in Ⅲ and Ⅳ grades [214(192~237.3) mg/ml] than grades Ⅰ and Ⅱ [180.95(172.03~193.85) mg/L] (P<0.05). C1q was positively correlated with eosinophils, active CD8 T cells, myeloid derived suppressor cells, natural killer cells, monocytes and macrophages (r = 0.373; r = 0.659; r = 0.846; r = 0.760; r = 0.499; r = 0.757; P<0.05). Conclusion: The concentrations of C1q increased in EC and related to the severity of EC, which had potential value of diagnosis of EC. There were correlations in C1q and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.
