Defect in recruiting effector memory CD8+T-cells in malignant pleural effusions compared to normal pleural fluid

Abstract: BackgroundMalignant pleural effusions (MPE) are a common and fatal complication in cancers including lung or breast cancers, or malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). MPE animal models and immunotherapy trials in MPM patients previously suggested defects of the cellular immunity in MPE. However only few observational studies of the immune response were done in MPM patients, using questionable control groups (transudate…).MethodsWe compared T cell populations evaluated by flow cytometry from blood and pleural ef… Show more

“…Cytokines that possess immune-inhibitory properties and are abundant in the malignancy-affected pleural cavity, as well as local accumulation of immunosuppressive and protumour CD4 + lymphocytes, contribute to immune evasion and facilitate tumour growth [17][18][19][20][21]. Relative to this, MPE is characterised by defective recruitment, activation and the cytotoxic potential of CD8 + cells [22,23]. Macrophages from malignant effusions not only display reduced cytotoxic activity against autologous tumour cells but they also inhibit tumour cell apoptosis [24,25].…”

“…In our previous study, we found that the expressions of six miRNAs were increased in the longer survival group of patients with NSCLC, namely miR134, miR141, miR106b, miR224, miR720, and miR1260 (8). We then applied the prediction programs TargetScan and miRanda to identify the potential regulators of CXCL1, and found that CXCL1 has putative miR141-binding elements in the 3 0 UTRs (Fig.…”

“…The proportion of Tregs increased in an advanced stage of NSCLC (7). Moreover, pleural fluid from benign disease contained mainly CD8 þ T cells, whereas MPEs included mainly CD4 þ T cells (8). Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Tregs could be upregulated by tumor cells in MPE and eventually affect patient survival.…”

“…This inflammatory process may be provoked by the cancer or by other nonmalignant diseases and causes the accumulation of fluid in the pleural space . Malignant pleural effusions are frequently infiltrated by tumour and immune cells, but the T cells that infiltrate the pleura are dysfunctional, as evidenced by their low proliferation rate, cytokine production and cytolytic activity . Remarkably, the T cell dysfunction found in T cells from pleural effusions is similar to that observed in tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in lung cancer, suggesting that the tumour evasion mechanisms in the two environments are similar .…”
