Abstract
Background: The goal is to study the changes of natural killer T-like (NKT-like) cells with age and explore the value of NKT-like cell changes in the evaluation of immune function and prognosis of tumor patients.
Methods: From January 2021 to December 2021, 19 patients with lung cancer, 37 patients with lymphoma, 16 patients with multiple myeloma (MM), 13 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 70 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College and 141 healthy volunteers included in the healthy control group were recruited to study the change trend of NKT-like cells with age and changes in different tumor patients.
Results: With the increase of age, NKT-like cells in peripheral blood increased gradually in healthy people, mainly composed of CD8+NKT-like cells and CD8-CD4-NKT-like cells. The proportion of NKT-like cells in the lymphoma group and AML group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). The proportion of CD8+NKT-like cells decreased in the Lymphoma, AML, ALL, and lung cancer groups (p < 0.05), there was no statistical significance between MM group and control group (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: With the increase of age, NKT-like cells in peripheral blood gradually increased in healthy people and were mainly composed of CD8+NKT-like cells and CD8-CD4-NKT-like cells. The increase of CD8+NKT-like cells in peripheral blood has important reference value for the evaluation of immune function and prognosis of patients with lymphoma, AML, ALL, and lung cancer and provides direction for immunotherapy.
