摘要
Killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) and 2B4 play important roles in the immune regulation and immune tolerance to tumor cells by inhibiting T cell function. However, the clinical relevance of KLRG1 and 2B4 to cervical cancer remains to be understood.We measured the frequency of KLRG1+ or 2B4+ cells in CD4+ or CD8 + T cells derived from peripheral blood or tumour biopsies in cervical cancer patients by flow cytometry.Compared with healthy controls, the level of KLRG1 and 2B4 on CD8 + T cells in the blood of the patients increased significantly (P = .0056 and .0441). KLRG1 level on CD8 + T cells and 2B4 level on CD4 + T cells in peripheral blood were significantly higher than in tumor tissues (P < .0001 and P = .0003). Higher KLRG1 level on blood-derived CD8 + T cells was observed in patients older than 54 years (P = .001) or tested to be HPV-negative (P = .026). Tumor-infiltrated CD8 + T cells demonstrated elevated KLRG1 level in patients having pelvic lymph node metastasis (P = .016). Increased 2B4 level on blood-derived CD8 + T cells was also observed in patients older than 54 years (P < .001). KLRG1 expression on both CD4 + T (P = .0158) and CD8 + T (P = .0187) cells in the peripheral blood increased after radiotherapy.KLRG1 level on T cells was related to age and HPV in patients with cervical cancer, while 2B4 level on T cells was related to age, underlying their roles in the host immune response to cervical cancer. Radiotherapy can improve the immune function of patients.
