Relationship Between the Expression of PD-1 and CTLA-4 on T Lymphocytes and the Severity and Prognosis of Sepsis.
PURPOSE: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between the expression of PD-1 and CTLA-4 on the surface of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets in patients with sepsis and the severity and prognosis of the disease.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included patients with sepsis who were admitted to the intensive care unit. The expression of PD-1 and CTLA-4 on T lymphocyte subsets was detected by flow cytometry, and the severity of sepsis was assessed using the SOFA score.
RESULTS: The expression of PD-1 on CD4+ T cells, PD-1 on Tregs, and CTLA-4 on Tregs increased with the severity of the disease (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PD-1 expression on CD4+ T cells, CTLA-4 expression on Tregs, and the SOFA score were independent risk factors for 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis (P<0.05). The area under the curve of the SOFA score combined with the expression of PD-1 on CD4+ T cells and CTLA-4 on Treg cells was significantly higher than any single indicator (P<0.05). Patients with high expression of PD-1 on CD4+ T cells (>31.25%) and CTLA-4 on Tregs (>12.64%) had a lower 28-day survival rate (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: The increased expression of PD-1 and CTLA-4 on CD4+ T cells and Tregs is significantly associated with the severity and prognosis of sepsis patients. The combination of the SOFA score and the expression of PD-1 on CD4+ T cells and CTLA-4 on Tregs can further improve the prognostic predictive value. These findings may be promising biomarkers for prognostic assessment, risk stratification, and identification of immunosuppression in patients with sepsis.
