Figure1. (A) Gating strategy for Flowcytometry analysis of
PBMCs from lung cancer patients before, during and after chemotherapy
compared to healthy control before and After 72 hours of culture.(a) represents the all events from flowcytometry directed to
the lymphocyte population. (b) represents the population of the
total T cells CD3+, NK cells and NKT cells, (c) represents the
population of CD8 cells and CD4. (d) represents the population
of NKCD8 cells and NKCD4. (e) represents GzB expression on all
mentioned populations. (B) Representative Flowcytometry
analysis of CD3, CD8, CD4, NK, NKCD4 and NKCD8 cells from healthy
control(a) , lung cancer patients before(b) ,
during(c) and after induction of chemotherapy (d)(before culture) (C) Representative Flowcytometry analysis of
CD3, CD8, CD4, NK, NKCD4 and NKCD8 cells from healthy
control(a) , lung cancer patients before(b) , during(c) and after induction of chemotherapy (d) (after
culture).
Figure2. Levels of Intracellular GZB expression on CD3, CD8,
CD4, NK, NKCD4 and NKCD8 cells from healthy control(a) , lung
cancer patients before(b) , during(c) and after
induction of chemotherapy (d) after culture in the presence of
Con A (5ng/ml) and IL-2 (50ng/ml) and incubated for 72 hrs, then
harvested and stained with the same protocol.
Figure3. (A) Statistical analysis of the fold change in the
count of CD3 (a) , CD4 (b) , CD8 (c), NK(d) , NKT (e) , NKCD4 (f) and NKCD8(g) cells from lung cancer patients before, during and after
induction of chemotherapy (black bars), compared to healthy control
(white bars) . (B) Statistical analysis of the fold change in
the expression of GZB on CD3 (a) , CD4 (b), CD8(c) , NK (d) and NKT (e) , NKCD4 (f)and NKCD8 (g) cells from lung cancer patients before, during
and after induction of chemotherapy (black bars), compared to healthy
control (white bars). Data were analyzed using SPSS software and
Mann–Whitney or one-way analysis of variance (a nova) with post-hoc for
non-parametric analyses, P-values < 0•05 were considered
significant (*and ** p ≤ 0.05, p ≤ 0.01).
Figure4. Statistical analysis of the expression of CXCL8, IL-6,
IL-1, CCL2, CXCL10, IL-5, CCL11 and CCL4 in the plasma of lung cancer
patients before, during and after induction of chemotherapy (black
bars), compared to healthy control (white bars). Data were analyzed
using SPSS software and Mann–Whitney or one-way analysis of variance (a
nova) with post-hoc for non-parametric analyses, P-values <
0•05 were considered significant (*,**and *** p ≤ 0.05, p ≤ 0.01 and, p
≤ 0.001).
