Resting and Activated Natural Tregs Decrease in the Peripheral Blood of Patients with Atherosclerosis

Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting large and medium arteries. CD4+ T cells are known to play a role in the progression of the disease. CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ natural Treg (nTreg) cells seem to have a protective role in the disease and their reduction in acute coronary syndrome is recently shown. Objective: To investigate the frequency of nTreg subsets in the pe...

The decrease in NKG2D+ Natural Killer cells in peripheral blood of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND Natural killer (NK) cells play important roles in the immune defense against tumors such as colorectal cancer. In humans, NKG2D is an activating immune receptor constitutively expressed in most cytotoxic lymphocytes including NK and CD8+ T cells. In this study, the expression of NKG2D molecule was investigated in peripheral blood NK cells from colorectal cancer patients and compared ...

Resting and activated endothelial cells are increased in the peripheral blood of cancer patients.

Circulating endothelial cells (CECs) were enumerated in 20 healthy controls and 76 newly diagnosed cancer patients by means of 4-color flow cytometry. In breast cancer (n = 46) and lymphoma (n = 30) patients, both resting and activated CECs were increased by 5-fold (P <.0008 vs control). CECs significantly correlated with plasma levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and vascular endotheli...
