Abstract:
Objective To observe the expression of CD8 + CD28-T cells in the peripheral blood of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients,and to investigate the effect of chemotherapy on CD8 + CD28-T cells expression and its clinical significance.Methods Flow cytometry was used to evaluate the level of CD8 + CD28-T cells in peripheral blood of 70 untreated NSCLC patients and 60 healthy controls.The association between CD8 + CD28-T cells and the clinical features was analyzed.We also investigated the changes of CD8 + CD28-T cells in 30 NSCLC patients who received chemotherapy by GP (gemcitabine,cisplatin) and NP (navelbine,cisplatin).Results The proportion of CD8 + CD28-T cells in lung cancer group was significantly higher than that in healthy group (59.003% ± 15.329% vs.41.036% ± 15.435%,t =35.904,P =0.001).No correlation was found between CD8 + CD28-T cells expression and the gender (F =1.374,P =0.697),pathological pattern (F =0.779,P =0.509) and clinical stage (F =0.070,P =0.933).But CD8 + CD28-T cells expression was correlated with the age (F =15.038,P =0.001).The level of CD8 + CD28-T cells after NP chemotherapy was lower than that before chemotherapy (55.293% ± 14.637% vs.58.793% ± 12.510%,t =2.017,P =0.044).And the level of CD8 + CD28-T cells after GP chemotherapy was lower than that before chemotherapy (54.127% ± 13.924% vs.60.700% ± 16.401%,t =3.007,P =0.009).Conclusion CD8 + CD28-T cells express highly in NSCLC patients peripheral blood.Chemotherapy down-regulates CD8 + CD28-T cells expression,which provides a new reference for combination with chemotherapy and immunotherapy in NSCLC patients.
