CD+4CD+25Foxp+3调节性T细胞在T细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤中的研究进展

 CD+4 CD+25 调节性T细胞（CD+4 CD+25 Treg）是一个具有独特免疫调节功能的T细胞亚群, 天然的CD+4 CD+25 Treg起源于胸腺,获得性CD+4 CD+25 Treg可在外周由CD+4 CD-25 T细胞诱导产生,其分子表面表达特异性的转录抑制因子Foxp3,又可表达CD4、CD25、CTLA-4 （CD152） 、GITR等膜分子,主要功能具有免疫抑制性和免疫无能性。近年来研究发现,其在非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）中存在表达异常,某些NHL外周血中或瘤内均存在CD+4 CD+25 Treg表达升高,且有研究表明其表达量随肿瘤增长和分期而增加。增加的CD+4 CD+25 Treg可加速肿瘤生长及再发,且可抑制自身效应性T细胞（CD+4 T／CD+8 T）功能,在肿瘤免疫逃逸机制中发挥一定作用。文章就CD+4 CD+25 Foxp3+调节性T细胞在T细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤（T-NHL）（主要为皮肤T细胞淋巴瘤及成年人T细胞淋巴瘤）中的研究进展进行综述。

Epithelial mesenchymal transition correlates with CD24+CD44+ and CD133+ cells in pancreatic cancer

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been linked to induction of a stem-cell like phenotype, characterized by altered cell surface marker expression and increased tumor formation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether EMT correlates with CD24+CD44+ and CD133+ cells in pancreatic cancer. The morphology of untreated and gemcitabine-treated SW1990 gemcitabine-resistant cells and normal SW1990 cells were compared. NF-κB p65 expression was knocked down using siRNA. Vimentin and E-cadherin expression were analyzed using western blotting, and CD24+CD44+, CD133+ cells were quantified by FACS. Additionally, immunohistochemistry of EMT-associated markers and stem cell-associated markers were performed in 41 cases of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. In SW1990 gemcitabine-resistant cells, gemcitabine induced a mesenchymal cell phenotype, expression of EMT-related molecular markers and increased CD24+CD44+ and CD133+ cells compared to untreated SW1990 gemcitabine-resistant and SW1990 cells. Knockdown of NF-κB p65 inhibited the ability of gemcitabine to increase the proportion of CD24+CD44+ or CD133+ cells and expression of EMT-related molecular markers. In human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, significant correlations were observed between expression of the EMT-associated markers vimentin and E-cadherin, and stem cell-associated markers CD24, CD133 and CD44. This study demonstrated that EMT correlated with CD24+CD44+ and CD133+ cells in pancreatic cancer. This study also suggests that EMT may induce cancer stem-like cells in pancreatic cancer, with different degrees of EMT probability inducing different proportions of CD24+CD44+ and CD133+ cells.     

Immune surveillance: both CD3+ CD4+ and CD3+ CD8+ T cells control in vivo growth of P815 mastocytoma.

The aim of this study was to examine whether a spontaneous immune response controls neoplastic growth in P815-bearing DBA/2 mice, and to characterize the cells involved in tumor resistance in vivo. Several cell lineages such as T-cell-receptor (TcR)-bearing T cells, NK cells and macrophages mediate some anti-tumor activity in vitro. P815 was chosen as a model because it is weakly immunogenic and is a good target both for tumor-specific, MHC-restricted CTL-mediated lysis and for MHC-unrestricted lysis exerted by long-term cultured lymphocytes or activated macrophages. Since most "NK-like activity" in freshly isolated populations appears to be associated with CD3- cells, whereas antigen-specific, MHC-restricted T cells mostly express CD3 determinants, CD3 was a good marker for evaluating the role of T cells and "NK" cells in tumor resistance in vivo. The survival of anti-CD3-treated animals that were inoculated with tumor cells was strongly reduced (mean survival time: 17 days vs. 40 days for the control group) and was associated with increased tumor growth rate. We followed the same approach to define the T-cell subset(s) that mediate(s) this immune response. Both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were required for induction of immune control on neoplastic growth. The approach used has revealed the important role of CD4+ T cells in immune responses that control in vivo growth of a class-I-positive, class-II-negative tumor and suggests that these cells may play a central role in tumor resistance. Since CD4+ cells are activated by soluble, exogenous proteins, this finding may have important implications for immunotherapy.     

CD4 + CD25 + 调节性T细胞与肿瘤免疫治疗

 CD4＋CD25＋调节性T淋巴细胞（regulatory Tcell，Treg）是一类具有独特免疫调节功能的T淋巴细胞亚群，一般占人外周血CD4＋T细胞的5％～15％。近年来，国内外对这类调节性T细胞的研究已从自身免疫耐受、移植免疫逐渐扩展到肿瘤免疫，认为Treg是形成肿瘤免疫耐受的关键成分。     

CD4^＋CD25^＋调节性T细胞与肿瘤的相关性研究

通过了解CD4^＋CD25^＋调节性T细胞（CD4^＋CD25^＋Treg）表面分子的特性和CD4^＋CD25^＋Treg在外周血和组织中的表达,认识CD4^＋CD25^＋Treg在肿瘤免疫调节中的作用,探索其作用的分子机制。     

The impact of CD4+CD25+ Treg on tumor specific CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity and cancer

There is sufficient evidence to suggest that tumor growth elicits specific immune responses, including CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cell responses that may delay tumor growth and could potentially be harnessed to eradicate cancer. Nevertheless the frequent outcome of cancer is lethality associated with uncontrolled growth and dissemination of tumor cells. The failure of the immune response may be naturally programmed and related to a specific subpopulation of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells, whose function is to protect us against autoimmunity. Recent investigations have shed light on the in vivo behavior and functions of these cells. It is becoming evident that a major impact of these cells is on the cytolytic action of specific CD8(+) T cells that target the tumor. Inhibition of cytotoxicity is dependent on TGF-beta signaling by the effector cells. Thus, targeting immune regulation may provide a promising approach to the immune therapy of cancer. This approach however could also have unexpected deleterious consequences, as surprising new observations indicate that regulatory T cells can also delay tumor growth by independent mechanisms that relate to their cross talk with the innate immune response to cancer.     

Co-immunization with L-Myc enhances CD8+ or CD103+ DCs mediated tumor-specific multi-functional CD8+ T cell responses

Renal carcinoma shows a high risk of invasion and metastasis without effective treatment. Herein, we developed a chitosan (CS) nanoparticle-mediated DNA vaccine containing an activated factor L-Myc and a tumor-specific antigen CAIX for renal carcinoma treatment. The subcutaneous tumor models were intramuscularly immunized with CS-pL-Myc/pCAIX or control vaccine, respectively. Compared with single immunization group, the tumor growth was significantly suppressed in CS-pL-Myc/pCAIX co-immunization group. The increased proportion and mature of CD11c⁺ DCs, CD8⁺CD11c⁺ DCs and CD103⁺CD11c⁺ DCs were observed in the splenocytes from CS-pL-Myc/pCAIX co-immunized mice. Furthermore, the enhanced antigen-specific CD8⁺ T lymphocyte proliferation, cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses, and multi-functional CD8⁺ T cell induction were detected in CS-pL-Myc/pCAIX co-immunization group compared with CS-pCAIX immunization group. Of note, the depletion of CD8 T cells resulted in the reduction of CD8⁺ T cells or CD8⁺CD11c⁺ DCs and the loss of anti-tumor efficacy induced by CS-pL-Myc/pCAIX vaccine, suggesting the therapeutic efficacy of the vaccine was required for CD8⁺ DCs and CD103⁺ DCs mediated CD8⁺ T cells responses. Likewise, CS-pL-Myc/pCAIX co-immunization also significantly inhibited the lung metastasis of renal carcinoma models accompanied with the increased induction of multi-functional CD8⁺ T cell responses. Therefore, these results indicated that CS-pL-Myc/pCAIX vaccine could effectively induce CD8⁺ DCs and CD103⁺ DCs mediated tumor-specific multi-functional CD8⁺ T cell responses and exert the anti-tumor efficacy. This vaccine strategy offers a potential and promising approach for solid or metastatic tumor treatment.     

CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞与抗肿瘤免疫

CD4^＋CD25^＋调节性T（CD4^＋CD25^＋Tr）细胞是一类维持机体自身耐受的T细胞亚群，分布广泛，但不同组织表型有所不同。它们可由胸腺自然产生，也可在外周血中诱导产生，其活化要依赖于特异性抗原的存在。CD4^＋CD25^＋Tr细胞发挥抑制效应是通过细胞接触依赖或分泌细胞因子这两种方式。去除CD4^＋CD25^＋Tr细胞或抑制其功能，重新募集效应性T细胞能够增强机体抗肿瘤作用，这将成为一种可行的肿瘤免疫治疗方法。
