Impact of inpatient management of hyperglycemia on peripheral T cell markers in patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Immune cell function is impaired in hyperglycemic patients with diabetes but thought to improve with normalization of blood glucose levels. In this study, we hypothesized that this improvement might involve changes in T cell function. We compared the peripheral T cell markers between the people with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) admitted to our hospital for glycemic control, and then in patients with T2D before and after the improvement of hyperglycemia by inpatient treatment. Expression of programmed death 1 (PD-1) and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3), co-suppressive molecules, CD26 and CD28 on CD4-positive and/or CD8-positive T cells, the Th1/Th2 ratio, and the number of regulatory T cells (Tregs) were not significantly different between the people with and without T2
