Background: Exosomes play pivotal roles in cancer progression, metastasis and chemoresistance. CD63 and CD9 are widely accepted exosomal markers. Their pattern of expression and prognostic significance in patients with RSCC and LSCC is unknown. This study explored CD63 and CD9 expression and prognostic significance in patients with RSCC and LSCC using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Methods: Between 2015 and 2018, 63 patients underwent surgical resection of colon cancer for whom we had available tissues for CD63 and CD9 IHC staining. Two pathologists independently scored the CD63 and CD9 expression in the tumor and adjacent normal mucosa (ANM). Staining intensity was graded 1-3 and staining percentage was estimated in 10% increments. Mean Quick-score (Q-score) (intensity X percentage of staining) was calculated. Results: RSCC and LSCC represented 52% and 48% of the patients respectively. The ANM and Tumor CD63 Q-scores were 225 vs 191 (p = 0.009) in RSCC and 224 vs 154 (p = 0.0001) in LSCC, respectively. The ANM and Tumor CD9 Q-scores were 134 vs 152 (p = 0.142) in RSCC and 135 vs 154 (p = 0.137) in LSCC, respectively. In patients with RSCC and LSCC, the mean Tumor CD63 Q-score was 191 vs 154 (p = 0.024), while the mean ANM CD63 Q-score was 225 vs 224 (p = 0.920). The mean Tumor CD9 Q-score was 152 and 154 (p = 0.883), and the mean ANM CD9 Q-score was 134 vs 135 (p = 0.926). In our cohort, there was no difference in progression free survival (PFS) between patients with RSCC and LSCC (p = 0.2349). In all patients, there was no difference in PFS in patients with CD63 expression < 100 and ≥100 (p = 0.8284). Among patients with RSCC, there was a significantly lower PFS in patients with CD63 expression < 100 vs. ≥100 (p = 0.0259). However, among patients with LSCC, there was no difference in PFS in patients with CD63 expression < 100 vs. ≥100 (p = 0.3494). Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first study to show a difference in exosomal marker (CD63) expression pattern and its prognostic significance in patients with RSCC and LSCC. There was a significant positive correlation between progression free survival in patients with RSCC and higher exosomal expression.
