Abstract in Portuguese
Células T de memória são a marca registrada da imunidade adaptativa, e podem ser caracterizadas em central memory (TCM) e effector memory (TEM) T cells. A participação destas células no curso de doenças hematológicas é descrita como mecanismo relacionado à evolução das mesmas. Neste trabalho, analisamos o sangue periférico de doadores de sangue e pacientes com Mielodisplasia (SMD), Mieloma Múltiplo (MM) e Leucemia linfocítica crônica B (LLC), e avaliamos a distribuição das células T CD4+ e CD8+ naive e de memória. SMD e MM não apresentaram resultados significativos, mas na LLC, as células T CD4+ estavam alteradas e dependentes do prognóstico, com aumento das células TCM somente nos pacientes com prognóstico ruim. Essas evidências sugerem que interações imunológicas entre células B da LLC e células T CD4+ possa ser um mecanismo próprio da doença que venha interferir na fisiopatologia e favorecer a geração de células TCM, que podem fornecer sinais de sobrevivência, como citocinas e CD40L, contribuindo assim para o estabelecimento e agressividade da LLC.

Abstract in English
Memory T cells are the hallmark of adaptive immunity and are characterized as central (TCM) and effector memory (TEM) T cells. The influence of T cells in the course of hematological malignancies has been described as a mechanism related to the evolution. In this study, we analyzed the peripheral blood of healthy donors and patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia B (CLL), and analyzed the distribution of CD4+ and CD8+ naive and memory T cells. MDS and MM revealed no significant difference, but CLL patients showed changes in CD4+ T cell and it were dependent on the prognosis. Patients with poor prognosis presented increased in frequency and absolute number of TCM cells. These evidences show that immunological interactions between CLL and CD4+ T cells could be a disease mechanism that could interfere in pathophysiology and result in the generation of TCM cells, that provide survival signals to the tumor clone, such as cytokines and CD40L, thus contributing to establishment and more aggressive CLL progression.
