【Abstract】 Objective〓The study aims to illustrate the expression characteristics of CD45RO/CD62L/CCR7 memory T lymphocytes and understand the distributions of CD45RO+CD62L+CCR7+ central memory T cells (TCM) and CD45RO+CD62L-CCR7- effector memory T cells (TEM) in peripheral blood of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Methods Thirty HCC patients hospitalized during August 2011 to August 2013 were, as the HCC group, enrolled in the study. The control groups consisted of 28 healthy persons, as the normal control group, and 28 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, as the CHB control group. Polychromatic flow cytometry (PFC) was used to test CD3, CD4, CD8, CD45RO, CD62L and CCR7 of memory T lymphocyte in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Results〓In the HCC group, the proportions of CD4+T lymphocytes and CD8+T lymphocytes in PBMC were significantly higher than the CHB control group (P<0.001,P=0.019),and there was no difference between the HCC group and that in normal control group (P=0.206, P=0.347). In the proportions of CD4+TEM in CD4+T memory lymphocytes in PBMC, the HCC group were significantly higher than both of the CHB control group and the normal control group (P=0.001, P=0.018). As for the proportions of CD4+TCM in CD4+T memory lymphocytes of peripheral blood, the HCC group were significantly lower than both of the CHB control group and the normal control group. In the three groups, the proportions of CD4+TEM in CD4+T memory lymphocytes were all higher than that of CD4+TCM (all P values were less than 0.001). In the population of CD8+T memory lymphocytes, the differences in the proportions of CD8+TEM and CD8+TCM during the HCC group and the other two control groups were insignificant (P=0.768,P=0.211,P=0.140,P=0.458, respectively). In the three groups, the proportions of CD8+TEM in CD8+T memory lymphocytes were significantly higher than that of CD8+TCM (all P values were less than 0.001). Conclusion〓In the HCC group, the CHB control group and the normal control group, the proportions of CD4+TEM in CD4+T memory lymphocytes were significantly higher than that of CD4+TCM, while the proportions of CD8+TEM in CD8+T memory lymphocytes were significantly higher than that of CD8+TCM. In the population of CD4+TEM memory lymphocytes, the HCC group were significantly higher than both the normal control group and the CHB control group. In the population of CD4+TCM memory lymphocytes, the HCC group are significantly lower than both the normal control group and the CHB control group, but the proportions of CD8+TEM and CD8+TCM have no difference during the three groups.
