Abstract:
Objective To observe the changes of CD+8CD+28,CD+8CD-28 and CD+4CDhigh25CDlow127 regulate T (Treg)cellsin peripheral blood of lung cancer patients,and to analyze the correlation between CD+8CD-28 and CD+4CDhigh25CDlow127 Treg cells to reveal the role and clinical significance of them in lung cancer patients.Methods Flow cytometry was applied to evaluate the level of CD+8CD+28,CD+8CD-28 and CD+4CDhigh25CDlow127 Treg cells in peripheral blood of 60 untreated lung cancer patients and 60 healthy controls group.The association of each term with clinical features was analyzed.Results The percentage of CD+8CD-28 and CD+4CDhigh25CDlow127 Treg cells in lung cancer group[(58.430:15.749) ％,(7.365±2.025) ％]was significantly higher than those in healthy group [(41.057±15.436)％,(6.648±1.669)％,(t=6.102,P＜0.05;t=2.115,P＜0.05)],while the percentage of CD+8CD+28cells is lower(41.570±15.739)％ than that in healthy group[(58.700±15.298)％,(t=-6.043,P＜0.05)].No close associations were found between three index and gender,age,and biological characteristics.With the increase of TNM stage,The percentage of CD+4CDhigh25 CDlow127 Treg cells increased gradually,which was remarkably higher in patients rith stage Ⅳ than that with stage ⅢA(t=-3.898,P＜0.05).The percentage of CD+4CDhigh25 CDlow127 Tregcells was uncorrelated with CD+8CD-28 cells(r=-0.169,P＞0.05).Conclusion The higher percentage of CD+8CD-28 and CD+4CDhigh25 CDlow127 Treg cells,the lower percentage of CD+8CD+28 cells may be the important reasons of immune suppression in lung cancer patients.Though there is no correlation between CD+8CD-28 and CD+4CDhigh25 CDlow127 Treg cells,it is may be helpful to understand immunologic function and it may look for more specific therapy and provide a new reference in the prognosis of lung cancer.
