Increased STAT3 Phosphorylation in CD4⁺ T-Cells of Treated Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Changes in Circulating Regulatory T-Cell Subsets Relative to Tu... by Mojca Dreisinger, Zlatko Roškar, Aleš Goropevšek, Andreja Zakelšek, Sara Čurič, Nada Živko, Sebastjan Bevc, Evgenija Homšak

“…While STAT5 signaling could alter the homeostasis of naïve (nTreg) and activated (aTreg) subsets, which are capable of suppressing also CLL patients’ responses to microbial antigens, perturbed STAT3 signaling could drive CXCR5 expression in circulating T-follicular regulatory cells (Tfr) and their entry into the lymph node/tumor microenvironment. <b>Materials and Methods</b>: By using phospho-specific flow cytometry, we monitored STAT signaling/phosphorylation (pSTAT), in vitro responses to Sars-Cov2-antigen-specific stimulation, and circulating Treg subsets in relation to Binet stage and total tumor mass/tumor distribution (TTM/TD) scoring in 62 patients with CLL. …”
