      Background:
      CD45RA+ CCR7+ naive T cells were reported to generate effectors possessed the high potent cytotoxic activity and low level of "exhaustion" T cells in vitro. However the relationship between frequency of naïve T cells in peripheral blood and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not clear. In order to elucidate this relationship, we first analyzed the frequency of CD45RA+ CCR7+ naïve T cell in peripheral blood of healthy population and patients with NSCLC.

      Methods:
      The frequency of CD45RA+ CCR7+ naïve T cells was calculated by flow cytometry from healthy volunteers and NSCLC patients. The correlation of naive T cell frequency and overall survival (OS) of NSCLC patients who were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or chemotherapy was statistically analyzed.

      Results:
      105 healthy volunteers (age rank 23-85year-old) and 137 NSCLC patients (age rank 33-86year-old) were enrolled in our study from 2013 October 1st to 2015 December 1st. Our results showed that the frequency of peripheral blood naïve T cells in NSCLC patients’ (Mean=17.8±5.7%) was significantly lower than that in healthy subjects’ (Mean=31.2±5.2%) (p<0.05). The frequency of naïve T cell was negatively correlated with the frequency of PD-1+CD8+ T cells (R[2]=0.1111, p<0.001) in peripheral blood of NSCLC patients, whereas, which was positively associated with the immune activity of CD8+ T cells and with the frequency of lymphoid stem cells or lymphoid progenitor cells in peripheral bloods (R[2]=0.1521, p<0.001). In the patients who were treated with TKIs,mOS in the group of high frequency of naïve T cells (>17.8%) was not reached, while that of group with low frequency (17.8%) was 19.0m (HR=0.3057, 95% CI 0.1127- 0.8291, p=0.0199). In patients who were administered chemotherapy, the mOS in the naïve T cells low frequency group was 12.0m, but in the high frequency group the median OS was undefined (HR=0.3286, 95% CI 0.1100 0.9817, p=0.0463).

      Conclusion:
      Our study shows that the CD45RA+ CCR7+ naïve T cells in peripheral blood closely related with immune response, and the frequency of naïve T cells in peripheral blood is positively associated with prognosis of NSCLC, which can be worked as a valuable prognostic factor for NSCLC patients.
