目的 检测精氨酸酶Ⅰ (Arg 1)在HIV感染者外周浅表淋巴结中的表达并探究其与HIV/AIDS进展的关系.方法 根据HIV感染者外周血中CD4^+T淋巴细胞计数将患者分组,应用免疫组化方法检测HIV感染者与非HIV感染者外周浅表淋巴结中精氨酸酶Ⅰ的表达,用SPSS17.0软件进行统计分析.结果 HIV感染者外周浅表淋巴结中精氨酸酶Ⅰ的表达明显高于非HIV感染者淋巴结(P<0.01).不同外周血CD4^+T淋巴细胞计数的HIV感染者淋巴结中精氨酸酶Ⅰ的表达水平不同.CD4^+T淋巴细胞计数≥350/ μl与200/μl≤CD4^+T淋巴细胞计数<350/μl的HIV感染者淋巴结中精氨酸酶Ⅰ表达水平差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),而外周血CD4^+T淋巴细胞计数≥350/μl,200/ μl≥CD4 ^+T淋巴细胞计数<350/ μl的HIV感染者外周浅表淋巴结中精氨酸酶Ⅰ较CD4^+T淋巴细胞计数< 200/μl的AIDS患者高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).且外周血CD4^+T淋巴细胞与精氨酸酶Ⅰ的表达水平呈负相关性.结论 以上结果提示Arg Ⅰ在外周浅表淋巴结中的高表达,并与AIDS疾病的进展具有相关性.
Objective To investigate the expression of arginase Ⅰ (.Arg Ⅰ) in peripheral superficial lymph nodes of HIV-infected individuals and to explore their correlation with HIV/AIDS disease progression.Methods All the patients were divided to two groups according to the CD4 ^+ T cell counts in peripheral blood,immunohistochemistry was used to detect expression of Arg Ⅰ in peripheral superficial lymph node of non HIV-infected and HIV-infected individuals.The data were statistically analyzed with SPSS17.0.Results Levels of Arg Ⅰ expression in peripheral superficial lymph node of HIV-infected individuals were higher than those of non HIV-infected lymph nodes (P 〈 0.01).The expressions of Arg Ⅰ in patients with AIDS in different CD4 ^+ T lymphocyte counts were distinct.Levels of Arg Ⅰ expression in peripheral superficial lymph nodes of CD4 ^+ T lymphocyte counts ≥350/ μl and 200/ μl ≤ CD4 ^+ T lymphocyte counts 〈 350/ μl AIDS patients had no significant difference (P 〉 0.05),while there was significant difference between expression of Arg Ⅰ in CD4 ^+ T lymphocyte counts ≥ 350/ μl,200/ μl ≤ CD4 ^+ T lymphocyte counts 〈 350/ μl and CD4 ^+ T lymphocyte counts 〈 200/ μl AIDS patients (P 〈 0.05).In addition,statistical analysis of the above results showed that CD4 ^+T cell counts in peripheral blood were negatively correlated with expression level of Arg Ⅰ.Conclusions Levels of Arg Ⅰ expression in peripheral superficial lymph node of AIDS patients were significantly high and associated with disease progression.
