To study the mechanism of Tim-3 on immune escape in benzene-induced acute myeloid leukemia (AML), to provide potential targets of clinical monitoring and intervention of hematological toxicity in benzene-induced AML . C3H/He mice were randomly divided into control group and experimental group. Serum levels of IL-12 in the experimental group were significantly lower than that in the control group. Serum levels of TGF-β1 in the experimental group were significantly higher than that in the control group( p <0.05). The proportion of Tim-3 positive CD14 + monocytes of bone marrow and spleen in the experimental group were both significantly higher than that in the control group ( p <0.05) by Flow cytometry (FCM). Compared with the control group, the expression of Tim-3 on (M1+M2) macrophages of bone marrow in the experimental group significantly increased by immunofluorescence assay. The expression of type M2 macrophages in (M1+M2) macrophages of bone marrow and spleen tissues in the experimental group were both higher than that in the control group. The expression levels of p-PI3K, p-AKT and p-mTOR in the experimental group were all significantly higher than that in the control group. Tim-3 was highly expressed in macrophages in benzene-induced AML. It promoted the activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, stimulated the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines, and inhibited the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. High expression of Tim-3 changed the phenotype and function of macrophages by promoting the macrophages polarization, thus inducing negative immune response in the tumor microenvironment and tumor immune escape.
