Distribution, phenotype and dysfunctional mechanism of CD8+ CD103+ tissue-resident memory T cells in gastric cancer patients
To investigate the distribution and phenotypic features of CD8
+
CD103
+
tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) in gastric cancer (GC) patients
and to explore their dysfunctional mechanism.
Methods
2
The number of CD8
+
CD103
+
Trm cells in GC tissues was detected by immunohistochemical staining and its correlation with clinical stages of GC patients was subsequently analyzed. The proportion
phenotype and function of CD8
+
CD103
+
Trm cells in tissues of GC patients were determined using flow cytometry. In addition
CD8
+
T cells were cultured with transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) stimulation
in vitro
and the effects of TGF-β1 on the function of CD8
+
CD103
+
Trm cells were explored.
Results
2
The number of CD8
+
CD103
+
Trm cells in GC tissues was not greatly altered (
P
>
0.05)
but its proportion in CD8
+
T cells was significantly declined than that of normal tissues (
P
<
0.05). The main population of tumor-infiltrating CD8
+
CD103
+
Trm cells belonged to the type of effector memory cells (CD45RA
-
CCR7
-
)
which showed higher expression of CD69 and PD-1 while lower expression of granzyme B and perforin than CD8
+
CD103
-
T cells (
P
<
0.05).
In vitro
culture displayed that TGF-β1 induced the down-regulation of granzyme B and perforin expression in CD8
+
CD103
+
Trm cells. Moreover
the number of tumor-infiltrating CD8
+
CD103
+
Trm cells in advanced GC patients was found significantly decreased than that in early GC patients (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
The infiltration level of CD8
+
CD103
+
Trm cells in GC tissues is negatively correlated with GC progression. These cells show an inhibitory phenotype as well as decreased anti-tumor function
thus contributing to immune escape of GC.
