چکیده
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to explore the presence of the chemokines CCL22 and CCL17 in malignant pleural effusion, and the chemoattractant activity of these chemokines on CD4-positive CD25-positive Foxp3-positive regulatory T cells infiltrating into the pleural space. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The concentrations of CCL22 and CCL17 in both pleural effusions and sera from 33 patients with lung cancer were determined. Flow cytometry was done to determine T lymphocyte subsets in cell pellets of pleural effusion. Pleural cells were analyzed for the expression of CCL22 and CCL17. The chemoattractant activity of CCL22 for regulatory T cells in vitro and in vivo was also observed. RESULTS The concentration of CCL22 in malignant pleural effusion was significantly higher than that in the corresponding serum. Pleural fluid from lung cancer patients was chemotactic for regulatory T cells, and this activity was partly blocked by an anti-CCL22, but not by an anti-CCL17 antibody. Intrapleural administration of CCL22 of patients produced a marked progressive influx of regulatory T cells into pleural space. CONCLUSIONS Compared with serum, CCL22 seemed to be increased in malignant pleural effusion, and could directly induce regulatory T cell infiltration into the pleural space in patients with malignant effusion.

Aim and Background: it seems that population of regulatory T cells increases in many malignancies leading to suppression of effector immune responses and thereby to progression of the disease. We aimed to assess infiltration of the regulatory T cells into tumor environment in women with breast carcinoma. Methods: in a control-case study, 9 malignant tumor tissues from invasive intraductal breas...
متن کاملNumerical status of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ and CD8+CD28- regulatory T cells in multiple sclerosis
Objective(s): Regulatory T cells, including CD4+CD25+Fox3+ and CD8+CD28- cells play an important role in regulating the balance between immunity and tolerance. Since multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease, regulatory T cells are considered to be involved in its pathogenesis. In this study, we investigated the circulatory numbers of the two mentioned types of regulatory T cells...

Effects of low-dose anti-CD25 antibody on targeting regulatory T (Treg) cells in vitro and in vivo were investigated. Human-mouse chimeric anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody basiliximab was administered into the effusion cavity, followed by locoregional immunotherapy using OK-432 on day 7. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells and effusion lymphocytes (ELs) were collected before and after the basilixim...
