目的:研究CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ 调节性T细胞(Treg细胞)在癫癎患儿外周血的表达水平,探讨其在癫癎发病机制中的作用。方法:采用流式细胞术分别检测41例癫癎患儿和38例健康儿童外周血Treg细胞占CD4+ T细胞的比例,及CD4+ T细胞、CD8+ T细胞、自然杀伤细胞(NK)、B细胞分别占淋巴细胞的比例。结果:癫癎组患儿外周血Treg细胞比例、CD4+ T细胞比例、CD4+ /CD8+ 比值分别为(2.4±0.5)%、(35±5)%、1.32±0.24,较对照组的(6.1±1.2)%、(38±4)%、1.60±0.24显著降低(P<0.05);而癫癎组CD8+ T细胞比例、NK细胞比例、B淋巴细胞比例分别为(27±3)%、(11.1±5.1)%、(24±9)%,较对照组的(24±3)%、(8.5±1.9)%、(16±5)%显著升高(P<0.05)。结论:癫癎患儿外周血中存在 Treg 细胞比例异常,提示免疫机制可能参与了癫癎的发生和发展。
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the levels of CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the peripheral blood of children with epilepsy and the roles of Tregs in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. METHODS: Forty-one children with epilepsy and thirty-eight healthy children were enrolled. The percentage of CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ Tregs in CD4+ T cells and the percentages of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, nature killer (NK) cells and B cells in lymphocytes were evaluated by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The percentages of peripheral blood CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ Tregs and CD4+ T cells and the ratio of CD4+ T cells to CD8+ T cells in epileptic children were (2.4±0.5)%, (35±5)% and 1.32±0.24 respectively, which were significantly lower than those in healthy children [(6.1±1.2)%, (38±4)% and 1.60±0.24 respectively; P<0.05]. In contrast, the percentages of CD8+ T cells, NK cells and B cells in lymphocytes in epileptic children were significantly higher than those in healthy children[(27±3)% vs (24±3)%, (11.1±5.1)% vs (8.5±1.9)% and (24±9)% vs (16±5)% respectively; P<0.05]. CONCLUSIONS: The abnormal percentage of CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ Tregs in the peripheral blood may be involved in the pathogenesis of epilepsy.
