目的:探讨再生障碍性贫血(AA)患儿外周血 CD4+ CD25int/high CD127low 调节性 T 细胞(Treg)的表达特点及其与 Hb、WBC 和 血小板(Plt)数量的相关性。方法:采用流式细胞术检测 15 例正常儿童(对照组)和 22 例治疗有效的AA患儿治疗前后外周血 CD4+ CD25int/high CD127low Treg百分比的变化,分析 CD4+CD25high-CD127low Treg与 Hb、WBC 和 Plt 数量的相关性。结果:AA 组急性期外周血 CD4+CD25+、CD4+CD25high、CD4+CD25+CD127low、CD4+CD25highCD127low Treg占 CD4+ T 细胞的百分比均较对照组显著降低(P﹤0.05);恢复期的表达则高于急性期(P﹤0.05),而与对照组比较差异无统计学意义(P﹥0.05)。AA组急性期、恢复期及对照组的 CD4+CD25highCD127low Treg表达率与外周血中 Hb、WBC 和 Plt 数量均呈正相关(r分别为 0.499、0.526、0.540,P<0.05)。结论:CD4+CD25int/highCD127low Treg 减低可能与 AA 发病有关,为其作为判断 AA 病情变化的指标提供了可能的理论依据,并可以作为免疫治疗的靶点之一进行深入研究。
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of CD4+ CD25int/high CD127low regulatory T cells in peripheral blood (PB) and its relation to the quantity of Hb, WBC and platelet (Plt) in children with aplastic anemia (AA). METHODS: Expression of CD4+ CD25int/high CD127low in PB was detected by flow cytometry in 22 children with AA before and after treatment and in 15 healthy controls. The relationships between CD4+CD25highCD127low and the quantity of Hb, WBC and Plt were evaluated. RESULTS: Compared to controls, the percentages of CD4+ CD25+/CD4+, CD4+CD25high/CD4+, CD4+ CD25+ CD127low/CD4+ and CD4+CD25highCD127low/CD4+ in PB of AA patients decreased markedly at the active phase (P﹤0.05) . By the recovery phase, the percentages of CD4+CD25+/CD4+, CD4+CD25high/CD4+, CD4+ CD25+ CD127low/CD4+ and CD4+CD25highCD127low/CD4+ increased significantly to the levels similar to the controls. There were significant positive relationships between the expression of CD4+CD25highCD127low cells and the quantity of Hb, WBC and Plt (r=0.499, 0.526, 0.540 respectively; P﹤0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The decrease of the percentage of CD4+CD25int/highCD127low regulatory T cells might be associated with the development of pediatric AA. The CD4+CD25int/highCD127low regulatory T cells can serve as a marker for the evaluation of disease severity as well as a target of further study on immune treatment of AA.
