摘要: 目的:研究口腔鳞状细胞癌(Oral squamous cell carcinoma,OSCC)患者外周血中不同淋巴细胞免疫表型的分布特征,探讨其与癌变相关危险因素及肿瘤生物学行为之间的关系。方法:选取49例口腔鳞状细胞癌患者和15例正常成人的外周血,应用流式细胞术检测外周血中T、B淋巴细胞及其各免疫表型的分布特征,并对其与槟榔咀嚼、吸烟、饮酒等癌变危险因素及肿瘤TNM分期和淋巴结转移相关性进行分析。结果:OSCC患者外周血中CD8+T细胞、效应记忆T细胞(CD4+Teff、 CD8+Teff)、CD4+PD1+T、CD8+PD1+T、CD8+PD1+Teff、CD8+Tim3+T、CD8+Tim3+Teff的表达均显著高于正常对照组,而CD4+初始T细胞(Tn)、B细胞则显著降低,且CD4+Tn/CD4+Teff、CD8+Tn/CD8+Teff比值均明显下降(P<0.05);OSCC患者外周血中CD8+T细胞、CD4+Teff、CD8+Teff细胞的增高与淋巴结转移及肿瘤分期显著相关,且伴淋巴结转移或中晚期患者外周血中CD4+Tn细胞及CD4/CD8、CD4+Tn/Teff的比例均显著降低;OSCC患者外周血中CD4+Teff比例的降低和CD4+Tn细胞比例的升高与槟榔咀嚼显著相关(P<0.05),而饮酒和吸烟与T、B细胞各免疫亚型的改变无显著相关。结论:本研究发现OSCC患者外周血中淋巴细胞各免疫表型发生了改变,且这种改变与槟榔咀嚼及肿瘤进展显著相关。

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the distribution of immunophenotypes of peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to explore its role in the tumor progression and its relationship with cancer-associated risk factors. Methods: Forty-nine patients with OSCC and 15 normal adults were enrolled in this study. Peripheral T and B lymphocytes and their immunophenotype distributions were detected by flow cytometry. The relevance of this distribution was analyzed with cancer-associated risk factors, including betel-chewing, smoking, alcohol drinking, tumor TNM stage, and lymph node metastasis. Results: The frequency of CD8+ T cells, effector memory T cells (CD4+Teff CD8+Teff), CD4+PD1+T, CD8+PD1+T, CD8+PD1+Teff, CD8+Tim3+T, and CD8+Tim3+Teff in OSCC was significantly higher than that of normal control group, whereas the CD4+ Naive T cells (Tn) and B cells were significantly decreased, and CD4+Tn/CD4+ Teff and CD8+Tn/CD8+Teff ratios were significantly decreased. The decrease of CD4+ Teff frequency was significantly associated with betel nut chewing, but the expression of CD4+ Tn cells was significantly increased (P<0.05). The history of drinking and smoking did not show any significantly difference in T and B cell immune subtypes. Conclusion: In this study, there were significant changes in the immunophenotypes of peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with OSCC. The changes were significantly associated with betel chewing and tumor progression.
