Popis: The levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 were analyzed in blood serum of 132 patients (age 14-70 years) with primary bone tumors: osteosarcoma (N=39), chondrosarcoma (N=42), Ewing sarcoma (N=9), chordoma (N=12), giant-cell bone tumor (GCBT) (N=16), benign neoplasms (N=14) and in and practically healthy subjects (age 19-58 years; N=27). sPD-L1 levels in all studied bone neoplasms were significantly higher than in the control. Serum sPD-1 level in GCBT patients was significantly higher than in the control, benign neoplasms, chondrosarcoma, and chordoma patients, but did not differ from osteosarcoma group. sPD-1 concentration in Ewing sarcoma was significantly higher than in chordoma and chondrosarcoma, but did not differ from the control. sPD-1 level in chondrosarcoma patients was also lower than in osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and in the control. Both sPD-1 and sPD-L1 concentrations were not significantly associated with the type of affected bone, process localization, disease stage, tumor histological grade, patients' age and sex. These results suggest the possibility of using these biological markers for preliminary assessment of the character of the process in the bone.
