| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tissue-infiltrating mononuclear cells extracted from fresh gastric cancer tissues were analyzed by flow cytometry. ICOS+ Foxp3+ CD4T cell(ICOS+ Treg) TILs was higher in the late stages, and patients with higher ICOS+ Treg showed shorter relapse-free survival in gastric cancer. Moreover, ICOS+ Treg had highly immunosuppressive function. In multicolor immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, the expression of ICOS in Treg was closely related to Helicobacter pylori infection and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs).
Our results indicated the potential of ICOS+ Treg as prognostic markers and that of direct and indirect immunotherapy targeting for ICOS, pDC or Helicobacter pylori.
