  • Lung tissue and tumour-infiltrating T lymphocytes in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) : moderate/severe versus mild stage of COPD
    Marc-Malovrh, Mateja ...
    Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells have been suggested to be key players in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We wanted to investigate the phenotype of lung tissue T lymphocytes ... (LTL) and tumour-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL) in smokers with peripheral non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with moderate/severe versus mild COPD. Lung tissueand tumour samples were obtained from patients with moderate/severe stage of COPD (n = 10) and from patients with mild stage of COPD (n = 7) at lung resection for a solitary peripheral NSCLC, processed and analysed by flowcytometry. The flow-cytometric results showed that lung tissue T cells, regardless of the severity of COPD, were mostly of the activated phenotype, expressed the CXCR3 chemokine receptor characteristic of type 1 T cells, and did neither significantly differ in the expression of activation markers (CD69, CD25 and HLA-DR), differentiation markers (CD27 and CD28) and chemokinereceptors (CXCR3 and CCR4) between the selected groups, nor showed any significant correlation with lung function measured as forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) or TLCO. Compared with LTL, a significantly greater proportion of TIL expressed the activation markers CD69 and CD25, but a lower proportion showed a fully differentiated CD27- 28- phenotype. We conclude thatlung LTL patterns are similar in NSCLC patients with moderate/severe or mild stages of COPD, and are not significantly related to lung function. LTL and TIL possess different phenotype characteristics. The majority of tumour tissue T cells are activated, but it seems that their process of differentiation is incomplete.
