Its significance is uncertain. We report five patients with CD4+ DLBCL and one CD4+ primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. Cases were identified by searching the electronic database of the department; each was reviewed. Average age was 56 years. Neoplastic cells expressed CD20(5/6 tested cases). BCL2/BCL6 expression were seen in 3/3 tested cases, suggesting a germinal center origin. Additionally, expression of T-cell antigens CD2 and CD5 was noted in 2/2 and CD7 in 1/1 tested case. CD3 was negative in all. Lymph nodes were commonly involved(67%). Patients received chemotherapy +/- radiation(6/6) and bone marrow transplant(2/6). Average survival was 44.2 mo. CD4 expression in DLBCL raises questions of lineage commitment. CD4+ DLBCL is rare; care should be exercised not to diagnose these as T-cell lymphomas. A subset behaves aggressively.展开更多
目的:探究卵巢癌(ovarian cancer,OV)浸润性CD4^(+)调节性T细胞(regulatory T cell,Treg)的脂质摄取与积累情况,及其与CD4^(+)Treg中程序性细胞死亡蛋白1(programmed cell death protein 1,PD-1)和细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关蛋白-4(cytotoxi...目的:探究卵巢癌(ovarian cancer,OV)浸润性CD4^(+)调节性T细胞(regulatory T cell,Treg)的脂质摄取与积累情况,及其与CD4^(+)Treg中程序性细胞死亡蛋白1(programmed cell death protein 1,PD-1)和细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关蛋白-4(cytotoxic Tlymphocyte associated protein 4,CTLA-4)表达的相关性。方法:采用亲脂性荧光染料BODIPY^(TM)493/503和荧光脂肪酸探针BODIPY^(TM)500/510 C1 C12分别检测OV组织中的或与不同OV细胞系(ES-2、SKOV3、CAOV3)上清液共培养的人源CD4^(+)Treg的细胞内脂质含量和脂质摄取能力;使用脂肪酸氧化抑制剂(Etomoxir)、脂肪酸合成抑制剂(C75)和脂肪酸摄取抑制剂磺基-N-琥珀酰亚胺油酸酯(sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate,SSO)干预脂质代谢;通过流式细胞术分析CD4^(+)Treg上免疫抑制分子PD-1和CTLA-4的表达。结果:OV组织CD4^(+)Treg相比传统CD4^(+)T细胞表现出更高的脂质含量和脂质摄取能力(P均<0.01)。在体外实验中,与基础培养基相比,OV细胞培养上清可显著提升CD4^(+)Treg的胞内脂质含量与脂质摄取能力(P均<0.05),其中CAOV3来源的上清作用最为显著。此外,CAOV3上清液还能提升CD4^(+)Treg中PD-1与CTLA-4的表达(P<0.05)。CD4^(+)Treg的脂质积累随CAOV3上清浓度增加呈剂量依赖性上升(P<0.05),且其对胞外荧光脂肪酸类似物的摄取能力具有浓度依赖性(P<0.05)。脂肪酸摄取抑制剂SSO可有效逆转CAOV3上清液诱导的CD4^(+)Treg脂质积累及PD-1、CTLA-4的高表达(P<0.05);而脂肪酸氧化抑制剂Etomoxir与合成抑制剂C75则无显著影响。结论:OV微环境通过促进CD4^(+)Treg的脂质摄取,提高细胞内脂质含量,促进其免疫抑制分子PD-1和CTLA-4表达。靶向脂肪酸摄取途径可能是逆转OV中Treg介导的免疫抑制的潜在策略。展开更多

These stem cells reside in a specific cellular environment where they remain in an undifferentiated state （Theise, 2006）. In addition, they are generally considered to be mul- tipotent, possessing the capacity to generate multiple cell types within the tissue, and thus play an important role in tissue mainte- nance and regeneration.展开更多
