Abstract
A high percentage of patients with acute coronary syndrome develop heart failure due to the ischemic event. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are lymphocytes with suppressive capacity that control the immune response and include the conventional CD4+ CD25hi Foxp3+ cells and the CD4+ CD25var CD69+ LAP+ Foxp3- IL-10+ cells. No human follow-up studies focus on Treg cells' behavior after infarction and their possible relationship with ventricular function as a sign of postischemic cardiac remodeling. This study aimed to analyze, by flow cytometry, the circulating levels of CD69+ Treg cells and CD4+ CD25hi Foxp3+ cells, their IL-10+ production as well as their function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and its possible relation with ventricular dysfunction. We found a significant difference in the percentage of CD4+ CD25hi Foxp3+ cells and IL-10+ MFI in patients with AMI at 72 hours compared with the healthy control group, and the levels of these cells were reduced 6 months post-AMI. Regarding the suppressive function of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory cells, they were dysfunctional at 3 and 6 months post-AMI. The frequency of CD69+ Treg cells was similar between patients with AMI at 72 hours postinfarction and the control groups. Moreover, the frequency of CD69+ Treg cells at 3 and 6 months postischemic event did not vary over time. Treg cells play a role in regulating inflammation after an AMI, and its function may be compromised in this pathology. This work is the first report to evaluate CD69+ Foxp3- Treg cells in AMI patients.
期刊介绍:
Clinical & Experimental Immunology (established in 1966) is an authoritative international journal publishing high-quality research studies in translational and clinical immunology that have the potential to transform our understanding of the immunopathology of human disease and/or change clinical practice.
The journal is focused on translational and clinical immunology and is among the foremost journals in this field, attracting high-quality papers from across the world. Translation is viewed as a process of applying ideas, insights and discoveries generated through scientific studies to the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of human disease. Clinical immunology has evolved as a field to encompass the application of state-of-the-art technologies such as next-generation sequencing, metagenomics and high-dimensional phenotyping to understand mechanisms that govern the outcomes of clinical trials.
