Abstract
PURPOSE: Sodium fluorescein (SF) is an ideal dye for intraoperative guided-resection of high-grade gliomas (HGGs). However, it is not well understood whether the SF-guided technique is suitable for different grades of gliomas, and the correlation between fluorescence and pathology is also not yet clear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we investigated 28 patients, including 23 patients with HGG and 5 patients with low-grade glioma (LGG). All patients were treated using the SF-guided technique on a Pentero 900 microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). Claudin-5 immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for the tumours and peritumour tissues was analyzed. RESULTS: Intraoperative yellow fluorescence was noted in all the HGGs but not in the LGGs. Claudin-5 expression in the blood brain barrier endothelial cells was downregulated and disconnected in the HGGs (p < 0.05), but had no difference or slightly decreased in the LGGs (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The SF-guided technique is suitable for HGG surgery but not for LGG surgery. Downregulation of claudin-5 expression may contribute to the presence of yellow fluorescence in the glioma in SF-guided surgery.
