摘要
目的:探讨 CD4+ T 淋巴细胞亚群及相应转录因子和上游转录调节因子在过敏性紫癜(HSP)病理机制中的调控作用。方法采用流式细胞术(FCM)、酶联免疫吸附法( ELISA)、荧光定量聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)测定41例 HSP 急性期患儿(急性期组)、35例 HSP 临床缓解期患儿(缓解组)和30例健康儿童(健康对照组)外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)中辅助性 T 淋巴细胞(Th)1、Th2、调节性 T 淋巴细胞(Treg)、Th17细胞百分比,血浆干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)、白细胞介素(IL)-4、转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)、IL-17水平和 PBMC 中 T 淋巴细胞 T-box( T-bet)、GATA 结合蛋白-3( GATA3)、插状头/翅膀状螺旋转录因子-3( Foxp3)和孤核受体γ(ROR-γt)mRNA 表达。结果1. HSP 急性期组、缓解组患儿 PBMC 中 Th1、Treg 细胞百分比,相应血浆 IFN-γ、TGF-β1水平,T-bet、Foxp3 mRNA 表达均低于健康对照组(P 均﹤0.05),Th2、Th17细胞百分比,血浆 IL-4、IL-17水平和 GATA3、ROR-γt mRNA 表达均高于健康对照组(P 均﹤0.05),Th1/ Th2和 Treg/ Th17失衡;2. HSP 缓解组患儿 PBMC 中 Th1、Th2、Th17、Treg 和 Treg/ Th17与急性期组比较差异均无统计学意义( P 均﹥0.05), Th1/ Th2、TGF-β1及相应 T-bet mRNA、Foxp3 mRNA 高于急性期组(P 均﹤0.05),IL-4、IL-17及相应 GATA3、ROR-γt mRNA 均低于急性期组(P 均﹤0.05),Th1/ Th2和 Treg/ Th17仍存在失衡;3. Th1、Th2、Treg、Th17百分数分别与 IFN-γ、IL-4、TGF-β1、IL-17,T-bet、GATA3、Foxp3和 ROR-γt mRNA 表达均呈正相关( P 均﹤0.05)。结论 HSP 存在 Th1/ Th2、Treg/ Th17免疫失衡,Treg 诱导的免疫耐受被打破,并贯穿整个病理过程。
Objective To explore the alternations of CD4 + T cell subsets and their cytokines and transcription factors in children with Henoch - Schonlein purpura(HSP). Methods Forty - one children were enrolled in this stud-y,including 41 in acute stage of HSP,35 cases of HSP in clinical remission stage and 30 healthy children as healthy control group. The percentages of helper T lymphocytes(Th)1,Th2,regulatory T cells(Treg)and Th17 subsets were determined by flow cytometry(FCM). The concentrations of plasma interferon - γ( INF - γ),interleukin( IL) - 4, transforming growth factor - β1(TGF - β1 )and IL - 17 were examined by ways of enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The expressions of T - bet,GATA3,Foxp3 and ROR - γt mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were examined by means of reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction(RT - PCR). Results (1)During the a-cute and recovery stage of HSP,compared with the control group,the percentages of Th2 and Th17 cell subsets,the le-vels of plasma IL - 4 and IL - 17,and the expressions of GATA3 and ROR - γt mRNA were significantly higher(all P ﹤ 0. 05). The percentages of Th1 and Treg cell subsets,the levels of plasma INF - γ and TGF - β1 and the expres-sions of T - bet and Foxp3 mRNA were lower(all P ﹤ 0. 05). The imbalances of Th1 / Th2 and Treg/ Th17 appeared during the acute stage of HSP.(2)During the recovery stage of HSP,the percentages of Th1,Th2,Th17 and Treg,and the ratio of Treg / Th17 were of no difference compared with those in acute stage( all P ﹥ 0. 05). The ratio of Th1 / Th2,and the expressions of T - bet and Foxp3 mRNA were increased(all P ﹤ 0. 05),while the levels of plasma IL - 4 and IL - 17,the expressions of GATA3 and ROR - γt mRNA were decreased(all P ﹤ 0. 05)compared with those in acute stage. In the recovery stage of HSP,the imbalances of Th1 / Th2 and Treg/ Th17 were still obvious .(3)There was a positive correlation in every 2 cytokines of Th1,INF - γ and T - bet. And the same correlation existed in Th2, IL - 4 and GATA3,in Treg,TGF - β1 and Foxp3,and in Th17,IL - 17 and ROR - γt(P ﹤ 0. 05). Conclusions The imbalance of Th1 / Th2 and Treg/ Th17 is critical in pathological mechanism of HSP. The disturbance of immune tole-rance induced by Treg cells is important in HSP.
