Objective To explore the alterations, relationship and clinical significance of CD4 +CD25 +CD127 low/ -
regulatory T cells ( Treg ) and lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of patients with acute myelocytic leukemia ( AML) . Methods The level of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets and Treg of untreated AML patients and com-plete remission( CR) patients were tested by flow cytometry,and were compared with that of 30 normal controls. Re-sults The proportions of Treg were much higher in untreated AML patients and CR patients than in normal con-trols, while the mean proportion of Treg in untreated AML patients was higher than that in CR patients(P<0. 05). The proportions of NK( CD3 -CD16 +CD56 +) cells in untreated AML patients and CR patients were both decreased compared with normal controls,and the mean proportion of NK cells in untreated AML patients was lower than that in CR patients(P<0. 05). Compared with the normal controls,the proportions of CD3 +T cell, CD4 +T cell,and the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + decreased in untreated AML patients ( P <0. 05 ) , but the proportions of CD8 +T cell was higher than in normal controls;the proportions of CD3 +T cell, CD4 + T cell, CD8 +T cell and the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + in CR patients were close to the proportions in normal controls, but there was significant difference between CR patients and untreated AML patients(P<0. 05). Conclusion The increase of Treg, CD8 +T cell and decrease of NK cells, CD3 +T cell, CD4 +T cell, and the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + in peripheral blood of patients with AML in-dicate that the immune function of patients with AML is depressed. Treg control the immune response of CD8 +T cells,at the same time inhibit the natural immune response of NK cells, playing a major role in the disorders of CD4 +T cells and CD8 +T cell balance,and closely relate with the development of AML. The immune treatment of patients with AML will be optimised by reducing the amount of Treg or removing the suppression function.
