Immunoreactivity of Wnt5a, Fzd2, Fzd6, and Ryk in glioblastoma: evaluative methodology for DAB chromogenic immunostaining
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of Wnt5a and its receptors on the survival of glioblastoma patients and to determine reliable evaluation methods for immunohistochemistry. Diagnostic specimens from 41 histopathologically confirmed primary glioblastoma patients whose Gd-enhanced tumors had been totally removed were immunohistochemically stained for Wnt5a, Fzd2, Fzd6, and Ryk. The immunoreactivity was evaluated using the following methods: (A) grayscale optical density after color deconvolution, (B) percentage of stained cells, (C) density of stained cells, (D) staining amount (multiplication product of B and C), and (E) staining rank. The data sets of A to E were statistically evaluated by correlation matrix analysis and regression analysis. The influence of the expression of the markers on survival was analyzed using a proportional hazard model. The results of color deconvolution (A) were well correlated with the results of the staining rank (E). In the semiquantitative results (B, C, and D), the staining amount (D) tended to show a better correlation with results of color deconvolution (A). Among all data sets, color deconvolution (A) demonstrated the most preferable fit in a proportional hazard model, and the expression of Fzd2 and Fzd6 was associated with poor prognosis in glioblastoma patients.
