Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the expression of CD4+CD25+CD127low regulatory T cells(Tregs) in the peripheral blood of the patients with NHL and discuss the relationship between expression of Tregs and prognostics factors of NHL.Methods 58 NHL patients was enrolled for analyzing.Among of them,23 were new patients without any treatment,35 patients received 3 to 8 cycles of chemotherapy,and 16 were normal controls.The expression of CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs was detected by Flow Cytometry and the proportions of Tregs were analyzed among the groups of the patients before or after chemotherapy and the normal controls.Bivariate Correlation was used to analyze the correlation among the expression of Tregs in the peripheral blood and prognostic factors,such as age,sex,PS state,LDH,?2-MG,IPI,clinical stage and pathology category of the new patients.Results The proportion of Tregs in the peripheral blood of B cell lymphoma(B-NHL) group(3.89?2.49)% was significantly higher than that of normal control(2.52%?0.88%)(P=0.005).In B-NHL,Tregs was signifantly higher in the aggressive NHL(DLBCL,MCL) than that of nonaggressive HHL(FL,MZL)(P=0.002).In T cell lymphoma,Tregs was increased markedly in the highly aggressive T-NHL(T-LBL,NK/TCL) as compared with aggressive T-NHL(ALCL,PTCL)(P=0.006).Tregs expression was significantly higher in newly diagnosed NHL patints than that of normal control(P=0.004) and post-chemotherapy group(P=0.034).The expression of Tregs in peripheral blood was significantly correlated with ?2-MG,LDH and IPI of the patients in newly diagnosed patients group(P=0.003,0.003 and 0.038),whereas was not significantly correlated with the age,sex,PS state,LDH,clinical stage and pathology category of the patients.Conclusion The expression of CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs in peripheral blood of B-NHL group was significantly higher than that of the patiens post-chemotherapy and normal control,which means that it may be an useful prognostic factor for NHL patients.
