Abstract
BACKGROUNDS: Although many researchers have concentrated on the mechanism of T cell anergy resulting from over-expression of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), it remains unclear what alterations will developed in memory T cells (Tm) under over-expression of IDO. METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining for IDO expression in gastric cancer tissues (n=50) was carried out. Tumor-infiltrating memory Tm cells were counted by flow cytometry. The association between IDO expression and the subsets of tumor infiltrating Tm are discussed. RESULTS: The higher IDO expressions were significantly associated with deeper invasion (P=0.016) and higher frequencies (P=0.038) of lymph node metastasis. The lower tumor-infiltrating CD4+Tm were significantly associated with the advanced clinical stage (P=0.026) and lymph node metastasis (P=0.016). The lower percentages of CD8+Tm were significantly related to undifferentiated histological type (P=0.042) and lymph node metastasis (P=0.037). However, the lower percentage of CD8+Tem was significantly correlated to differentiated histological type (P=0.017), lower frequencies of lymph node metastasis (P=0.014), and earlier clinical stage (P=0.008). The higher IDO expression patients had significantly lower percentages of CD4+Tm (P=0.012) and CD8+Tm (P=0.033). Nevertheless, it was confirmed that the higher level of IDO expression correlated with higher percentages of CD8+Tm cells in univariate and multivariate analysis (P=0.011). CONCLUSION: IDO over-expression and Tm in tumor microenvironments were correlated with the disease stage and histological type of gastric cancer. Higher IDO expression was related to the lower percentage of CD4+Tm and CD8+Tm, whereas the higher level of IDO expression related with a higher percentage of CD8+Tem.
