چکیده
Antitumor immune response is usually inhibited by immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. CD8+CD28T lymphocyte (Ts; or CD8+ Treg) is another regulatory T cell apart from CD4+CD25highCD127low Treg, and it has been detected infiltrating in tumor tissue of various types as well. The aim of this study is to investigate possible role of both Tregs in peripheral circulation of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Twenty-eight eligible NSCLC patients pariticipated this study, and 17 healthy volunteers plus 1 patient of pulmonary bulla and 2 patients of congenital chest wall deformity were also included in this study as control group. Peripheral circulating CTL (CD8+CD28+)/CD8+, Ts or CD8+ Treg (CD8+CD28-)/CD8+, CD4+ Treg (CD4+CD25highCD127low/CD4+ were assayed by Flow Cytometry. We observed that Ts (CD8+CD28-)/CD8+ in NSCLC group is significantly higher than that in control group (P=0.0056). CTL (CD8+CD28+)/CD8+ in NSCLC group is significantly lower than that in control group (P=0.0013). CD4+ Treg (CD4+CD25highCD127low)/CD4+ in NSCLC group is not significantly different from that in control group (P=0.8689). In conclusion, Ts (CD8+ Treg) instead of CD4+ Treg might be an immunosuppressive factor in peripheral circulation of NSCLC patients.

Comparative Analysis of CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells in Tumor Tissues, Lymph Nodes and the Peripheral Blood from Patients with Breast Cancer
Background: CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are the main types of lymphocytes in cell-mediated immunity and play a central role in the induction of efficient immune responses against tumors. The frequencies of T cell subtypes in the peripheral blood and tumor tissues, and draining lymph nodes (dLN) can be considered as useful markers for evaluation of the immune system in cancers. Methods: In this study,...

Immunosuppression may contribute to the progression of cancer. In this study we assessed the structural and functional status of T cells from tumor specimens obtained from patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer and late-stage ovarian cancer. Although some groups have described structural alterations in the TCR in patients with other malignancies, we did not observe decreased expre...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The immune function disorder relates closely to the occurrence, metastasis, and prognosis of cancer. T lymphocyte subsets take an important role in immune function. We identified the dynamic changes of the immune system by investigating the levels of T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of lung cancer patients with advanced stage adenocarcinoma undergoing first line...

BACKGROUND Studies increasingly focus on the impact of radiotherapy on immunity; however, the role of peripheral cellular immunity prior to radiotherapy in cancer patients remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the predictive roles of lymphocyte subsets on tumor progression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing radiotherapy, and their expression in NSCLC pat...
