Upregulation of Immune Checkpoint Molecules, PD-1 and LAG-3, on CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells after Gastric Cancer Surgery

چکیده
BACKGROUND Surgery has been reported to suppress cell-mediated immunity; however, the detailed mechanisms responsible for this remain unclear. This study determined the expression of lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) in lymphocytes following surgery for gastric cancer. METHODS LAG-3 and PD-1 expression on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells obtained pre- and post-operatively from gastric cancer patients were evaluated by multicolor flow cytometry. RESULTS The total lymphocyte count decreased rapidly from preoperative levels, reaching a minimum on postoperative day 1 and remaining significantly decreased on days 3 and 7. PD-1(+)CD4(+) T cells significantly increased, reaching a maximum on postoperative day 1 and remaining significantly elevated on day 3. PD-1(+)CD8(+) T cells significantly increased and reached a maximum on day 7 before returning to the preoperative level on day 30. There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of LAG-3(+)CD4(+) or LAG-3(+)CD8(+) T cells after surgery. There were significant positive correlations between PD-1 and LAG-3 expression on both CD4(+) andCD8(+) T cells. CONCLUSION PD-1 and LAG-3 expression on both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells was up-regulated and might be related to impaired cell-mediated immunity after surgery for gastric cancer.

Differential Expression of Immune Checkpoint Modulators on In Vitro Primed CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells
PD-1, TIM-3, and LAG-3 are molecules shown to have immune modulatory properties, and although initially classified as indicators of T cell hyporesponsiveness, it has become clear that they are also associated with the normal course of T cell activation. Functional studies have focused mainly on CD8(+) T cells during chronic inflammation due to interest in co-opting the cellular immune response ...

Background: Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 pathway is one of the immune checkpoint pathways involved in regulation of the immune responses and suppression of anti-tumor defense. PD-1/B7-H1-blocking antibodies improve immune responses such as cytotoxic activity of CD8+/CD4+T cells and also increase mortality of tumor cells; however their use is accompanied by adverse effects in pat...
متن کاملExhaustion of Activated CD8 T Cells Predicts Disease Progression in Primary HIV-1 Infection
The rate at which HIV-1 infected individuals progress to AIDS is highly variable and impacted by T cell immunity. CD8 T cell inhibitory molecules are up-regulated in HIV-1 infection and associate with immune dysfunction. We evaluated participants (n = 122) recruited to the SPARTAC randomised clinical trial to determine whether CD8 T cell exhaustion markers PD-1, Lag-3 and Tim-3 were associated ...

Background: Adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) provoke the accumulation and expansion of regulatory T cells, leading to the modulation of immune responses in tumor microenvironment. Objective: To assess the effect of tumoral ASCs on the trend of regulatory T cells differentiation. Methods: Peripheral blood naïve CD4+ T cells were co-cultured with ASCs derived from breast cancer or normal breast ...
