[目的]探讨非小细胞肺癌患者外周血CD4+CD25+Foxp3+调节性T细胞(Treg)表达及临床意义。[方法]流式细胞术检测30例非小细胞肺癌组患者及12例健康志愿者外周血CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg百分比。[结果]肺癌组外周血CD4+CD25+Foxp3+细胞百分比(6.24%±2.01%)高于健康对照组(4.83%±0.85%)(P〈0.05),外周血CD4+CD25+Foxp3+细胞百分比在肺癌患者不同性别、年龄、病理、KPS及肿瘤标志物正常与否之间比较无差异(P〉0.05),Ⅳ期患者表达高于Ⅰ~Ⅲ期患者(P〈0.05),带瘤患者表达高于无瘤患者(P〈0.05),有气虚证、血瘀证患者高于无气虚证、血瘀证患者(P〈0.05)。[结论]检测肺癌患者外周血CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg表达在了解患者肿瘤进展情况和机体免疫功能状态方面有一定价值,其表达升高与患者出现气虚证和血瘀证有关。
[Purpose] To investigate the expression of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells(Treg)in peripheral blood in patients with NSCLC and its significance.[Methods] The proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg in thirty cases with NSCLC and 12 healthy controls were measured by flow cytometry.[Results] The proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg in peripheral blood from patients with NSCLC(6.24%±2.01%) was higher than that from healthy controls(4.83%±0.85%)(P0.05).The proportion of peripheral CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg in patients with NSCLC was not different with agender,age,pathology,KPS score and tumor marker level(P0.05).The proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg in the patients with NSCLC stage Ⅳ was higher than that in stage Ⅰ~Ⅲ(P0.05).The proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg in the patients bearing tumor was higher than those without tumor(P0.05).The proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg in patients with Qi deficiency syndrome or blood stasis syndrome was higher than those without the syndromes(P0.05).[Conclusion] Detecting the expression of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg in peripheral blood of patients with NSCLC is helpful for knowing cancer progression and the patients immunity.The increase of the proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg closely correlates to Qi deficiency syndrome and blood stasis syndrome.
