We show that T cells in survivors of childhood leukemia exhibit distinct profiles dominated by aging-associated changes and consistent with premature immune aging. Immune profiles during survivorship in biospecimens (n = 251) from uniformly-treated children with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia recapitulate heterogeneity at diagnosis in individual patients and correlate with genetic-risk subtypes. These data suggest that pre-therapy immune aging may determine variance in immune status during survivorship.
我们发现，儿童白血病幸存者体内的T细胞呈现出独特的特征，这些特征主要由与衰老相关的变化主导，并且与免疫早衰一致。在接受统一治疗的B型急性淋巴细胞白血病患儿的生物样本（n = 251）中，存活期的免疫特征概括了个体患者诊断时的异质性，并与遗传风险亚型相关。这些数据表明，治疗前的免疫衰老可能决定存活期免疫状态的差异。
