[Objective]This study was designed to investigate capability of the conditioned media that originated from Renca cells to convert CIM~+ CD25~- T cells into CD4~+ CD25~+ T cells,which can exert immunosuppressive effect on effector T cells in vitro and in vivo.[Methods]The common media were mixed with the conditioned media at different ratios,and fresh enriched CD4~+ CD25~- T cells with MACS were cultured in mixed media for 7 days.At end-point of culture,the cells were collected and detected phenotypes in flow cytometer.Moreover,we detected immunosuppressive effect of converted CD4~+ CD25~+ T cells on effeetor T cells proliferation in one-way mixed lymphocytes reaction by using CCK-8,and we observed survival time and histology of grafts.The delayed type hypersensitivity was determined 14 days after transplantation.[Results]The mixed media could increase ratio of CD4~+ CD25~+ Foxp3~+ T cells in conditioned media ratio-dependent(P<0.05),compared with control groups,when the mixed media contained no mote than 75% of conditioned media.The converted CD4~+ CD25~+ T cells significantly suppress proliferation of effector T cells in vitro,and prolong survival time of grafts,which were(29.6±1.4)d in converted CD4~+ CD25~+ T cells treated groups(P<0.05),compared with that in untreated groups(9.8±0.6 d)or PBS treated groups(10.9±0.6 d).Moreover,delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction were conducted at day 14 after transplantation in the recipients,and the results showed that less pad swelling in the group treated with converted CD4~+ CD25~+ T cells than other control groups was found,according to measurement of pad swelling.In addition,progressed to complete necrosis of grafts were exhibited in the mice treated with PBS and untreated mice,whereas better healing of grafts and less lymphocytes infiltration were displayed in the mice treated with converted CD4~+ CD25~+ T cells,which were similar to the mice treated with natural regulatory T cells.[Conclusion]The converted CD4~+ CD25~+ T cells with Renca conditioned media play suppressive role in vitro and in vivo.

Objective To explore the predictive value of systemic immune inflammatory index(SII),systemic inflammatory response index(SIRI),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR),lymphocyte to monocyte ratio(LMR),platelet to lymphocyte radio(PLR),albumin to globulin(AGR)and heat shock protein 90α(HSP90α)in Fuhrman grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC).Methods From October 2019 to August 2022,212 patients who underwent surgical treatment for ccRCC were divided into low-grade tumor group and high-grade tumor group according to Fuhrman grade.The independent influencing factors of Fuhrman grading were determined by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis,and the predictive value of each inflammatory index to Fuhrman grading was evaluated by drawing Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC).We constructed the line chart prediction model and evaluated the effectiveness of the model.Results The preoperative levels of SII,PLR,AGR,HSP90α and the maximum diameter of tumor were significantly different between high-grade group and low-grade group(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the maximum diameter of tumor,PLR,AGR and HSP90α were independent influencing factors of Furhman grade.By drawing the ROC curve,it was found that the area under the curve(AUC)of PLR,AGR and HSP90α to predict Furhman grade were 0.641,0.675 and 0.696.In addition,the Furhman grade line chart prediction model had good prediction ability,the AUC was 0.789(95%CI:0.717~0.862),the sensitivity was 61.80%,and the specificity was 85.40%.Conclusions There was a significant correlation between inflammation-related indexes in peripheral blood and Furhman grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.The Furhman grade line chart prediction model based on the maximum diameter of tumor and peripheral blood inflammation index has good predictive ability.
