Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is the most frequent nodal T-cell lymphoma and is characterized by a polymorphic lymph node infiltrate, various dysimmune disorders, and a poor prognosis. Regulatory T-cells (Treg) play an emerging role in the prognosis of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma and mediate significant autoreactive T-cell suppression. In this report, we demonstrate that numbers of Treg are significantly decreased in AITL lymph nodes [n = 30, 91 (40–195) per high power fields] compared with follicular lymphoma [n = 19, 179 (86–355)] and reactive lymph nodes [n = 8, 186 (140–265)]. Moreover, the few Treg in lymph nodes of AITL are resting Treg (rTreg) and have a naive CD45RA+, PD1−, and ICOS− phenotype [n = 5, 57% of Treg are CD45RA+ (16–96)], in contrast to the Treg in follicular lymphomas [n = 5, 7.4% (1–13)] or reactive lymph nodes [n = 7, 18.6% (6–48)]. Interestingly, Treg depletion was not observed in AITL peripheral blood at diagnosis. Altogether, these data suggest that Treg depletion could contribute to the nodal neoplastic T_FH expansion and dysimmune symptoms in AITL.
