目的探讨Th17细胞及其相关细胞因子IL-17、TGF—β1、IL-22在银屑病发病过程中的变化及窄谱中波紫外线(NB—UVB)的干预效果。方法选取寻常型银屑病患者30例为观察组,采用NB—UVB照射治疗;对比治疗前后的银屑病面积和严重指数(PASI)评分及瘙痒程度(VAS)评分;并选取同期健康志愿者30例为对照组,进行同步研究,所有研究对象均抽取空腹静脉血,以流式细胞术检测Th17细胞计数,以ELISA试剂盒检测IL-17、TGF—β1、IL-22的血清含量。结果治疗后,患者的PASI评分和VAS评分均有显著降低(t=7.889,3.622;P=0.000,0.017);PASI改善指数和VAS改善指数分别为40.8%、36.7%。治疗前,观察组患者的外周血Thl7细胞计数与血清IL-17、TGF-β1、IL-22水平均显著高于对照组(t=41.071,11.397,12.568,7.083;P:0.000),且治疗后显著降低(t=20.942,2.436,6.536,3.138;P=0.000,0.038,0.000,0.023)。结论Thl7细胞功能亢进可能是银屑病的重要发病机制之一,NB—UVB可能通过下调患者Th17细胞比例,减少其相关细胞因子分泌水平而发挥治疗作用。
Objective To explore the exchanges of Thl7 cell count and its cytokines' level of IL-17,TGF-β1 and IL-22 in the onset and NB-UVB remedy of psoriasis. Methods Both patients with psoriasis ( Group Observation,n = 30) and homochronous healthy volunteers ( Group Control, n = 30) were selected to do contractive study. All patients were treated with NB-UVB,which PASI score and VAS score were assessed before and 'after the treatment. At the same time, the pe- ripheral blood of all subjects were extracted, and Thl7 cell count was detected with flow cytometry, while the serum levels of IL-17 ,TGF-β1 and IL-22 were detected with ELISA kits. Results The PASI score and VAS score of the patients were all decreased significantly after treatment(t =7. 889,3. 622;P =0.000,0. 017) ;and the improve rate of PASI and VAS were 40.8% and 36.7% , respectively. At the same time,the Thl7 cell count and IL-17, TGF-β1, IL-22 levels of Group Observation before treatment were all significantly higher than those of Group Control ( t = 41. 071,11. 397,12. 568, 7. 083 ;P = 0. 000 ), which all decreased significantly "after treatment ( t = 20. 942,2. 436,6. 536,3. 138 ; P = 0. 000, 0.038,0. 000,0. 023 ). Conclusion Our research results showed that the hyperfunction of Thl7 cells may be one of the pathogenesis of psoriasis ,and NB-UVB may play a role of treatment through regulating down Thl7 cell proportion and re- strain the secretion of its cytokines.
