Abstract

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) plays a complex role in carcinogenesis. In 30 melanoma patients and 20 healthy controls (HC) we analysed functional and phenotypic characteristics of NK cells by Flow cytometry, gene expression of TGF-β1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells by qPCR and serum and supernatant level of free TGF-β1 by ELISA. Melanoma patients had significantly higher serum level of circulatingTGF-β1 compared to HC, especially those with metastasis into the central nervous system (subclass M1d) and high LDH serum values. Melanoma patients compared to HC had significantly higher level of TGF-β1 gene in PBMC. TGF-β1 serum values negatively correlate with NK cell activity analysed by CD107a (degranulation marker), IFN-γ, NKG2D, and NKp46 in patients. Study shows the association of high level of TGF-β1 with NK cell inhibition in patients represents the main mechanism of tumour immune evasion. Targeting TGF-β may become an important cancer treatment for improving antitumor immunity.

在转移性黑色素瘤患者中,循环TGF-β1升高与NK细胞效应物功能受损相关。
转化生长因子β (TGF-β)在癌变过程中发挥着复杂的作用。用流式细胞术分析30例黑色素瘤患者和20例健康对照(HC) NK细胞的功能和表型特征,用qPCR分析外周血单个核细胞TGF-β1基因表达,ELISA分析血清和上清游离TGF-β1水平。黑色素瘤患者血清循环tgf -β1水平明显高于HC,特别是转移到中枢神经系统(M1d亚类)和高LDH血清值的黑色素瘤患者。黑色素瘤患者PBMC中TGF-β1基因水平明显高于HC患者。通过CD107a(脱颗粒标志物)、IFN-γ、NKG2D和NKp46分析患者血清TGF-β1值与NK细胞活性呈负相关。研究表明,患者体内高水平TGF-β1与NK细胞抑制相关是肿瘤免疫逃逸的主要机制。靶向TGF-β可能成为提高抗肿瘤免疫的重要肿瘤治疗手段。
