Abstract Background Human immunological memory is a hallmark of the adaptive immune system and plays an important role in the development of effective immune responses against tumors. In the present study, we aimed to determine the frequencies of CD8 + memory T cell subsets including stem memory T cells (TSCM) in tumor-draining lymph nodes of patients with breast cancer (BC).Methods Mononuclear cells were obtained from axillary lymph nodes of 52 untreated patients with BC and stained for CD8, CCR7, CD45RO, CD95 markers to detect different subtypes of memory cells in the CD8 + lymphocyte population. Data were acquired with four-color flow cytometry and analyzed with CellQuest Pro software.Results We observed that 47.65±2.66 of CD8+ lymphocytes expressed the CD45RO marker for memory T cells. Statistical analysis showed that the total frequency of central memory T cells (TCM) and their subset with low CD45RO expression was significantly higher in tumor-involved nodes compared to tumor-free ones (P=0.024 and P=0.017, respectively). Mean CD96 expression (based on mean fluorescence intensity) on the surface of TCM, their CD45RO hi TCM and CD45RO low subsets, and TSCM was higher in patients with stage II compared to those with stage I disease (P<0.05). The percentage of naive CD8 + T cells was significantly higher in tumor-involved lymph nodes compared to tumor-free ones (P=0.025).Conclusions Our data collectively indicate no significant differences in the frequencies of CD8 + lymphocytes or their memory T cell subsets in tumor-draining lymph nodes of patients with BC. However, the frequency of CD45 low TCM along with naive CD8 + lymphocytes was higher in tumor-involved nodes, which suggests that after long-term exposure to the antigen, and despite the immune reaction in order to provide a pool of effective memory cells, memory cell differentiation is blocked in early-stage (CD45RO low ) due to tumor-derived suppressive factors. Identifying the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind this suppression can provide invaluable tools for adoptive T cell therapies in cancer.

SummaryBackgroundImmunological alterations may led to the reduction in capacity and endurance levels in elite athletes by e.g. increased susceptibility to infections. There is a need to explain the impact of intensive physical effort on the CD4+memory T cell subsets.MethodsFourteen participants median aged 19 years old (range 17–21 years) were recruited form Pogoń Szczecin S.A., soccer club. They performed progressive efficiency test on mechanical treadmill until exhaustion twice: during preparatory phases to spring and autumn competition rounds. We examined the influence of exhaustive effort on the selected CD45+, especially CD4+memory T cell subsets and inflammation markers determined before, just after the test and during recovery time.ResultsSignificant changes in total CD45+cells and decrease in T lymphocytes percentage after the run was observed. Significant fluctuations in T cells’ distribution were related not only to the changes in Th or Tc subsets but also to increase in naïve T cell percentage during recovery. Increase in TNF-α and IL-8 post-exercise, IL-6 and IL-10 plasma levels in recovery was also found.ConclusionsThe novel finding of our study is that the run performed on mechanical treadmill caused a significant release of CD4+T naïve cells into circulation. Post-exercise increase in circulating NK cells is related with fast biological response to maximal effort. However, at the same time an alternative mechanism enhancing inflammation is involved.

Immune-related adverse events induced by anti–programmed cell death–1 antibodies (PD-1-Ab), including destructive thyroiditis (thyroid-irAE), are thought to be caused by activated T cells. However, the T cell subsets that are directly responsible for damaging self-organs remain unclear. To clarify which T cell subsets are involved in the development of thyroid-irAE, a mouse model of thyroid-irAE was analyzed. PD-1-Ab administration 2.5 months after immunization with thyroglobulin caused destructive thyroiditis. Thyroiditis was completely prevented by previous depletion of CD4+ T cells and partially prevented by depleting CD8+ T cells. The frequencies of central and effector memory CD4+ T cell subsets and the secretion of interferon-γ after stimulation with thyroglobulin were increased in the cervical lymph nodes of mice with thyroid-irAE compared with controls. Histopathological analysis revealed infiltration of CD4+ T cells expressing granzyme B in thyroid glands and major histocompatibility complex class II expression on thyrocytes in mice with thyroid-irAE. Adoptive transfer of CD4+ T cells from cervical lymph nodes in mice with thyroid-irAE caused destruction of thyroid follicular architecture in the irradiated recipient mice. Flow cytometric analyses showed that the frequencies of central and effector memory CD4+ T cells expressing the cytotoxic marker CD27 were higher in peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected from patients with thyroid-irAE induced by PD-1-Ab versus those without. These data suggest a critical role for cytotoxic memory CD4+ T cells activated by PD-1-Ab in the pathogenesis of thyroid-irAE.
