目的探讨卡介菌多糖核酸(PNCG)治疗特应性皮炎(AD)前后,患者外周血人皮肤淋巴细胞相关抗原(CLA)阳性的T淋巴细胞表达不同细胞因子的频数及其与疾病严重程度的相关性。方法以双盲、随机、交叉对照方法应用卡介菌多糖核酸及安慰剂治疗AD患者,应用流式细胞术检测治疗前后AD患者外周血CLA+T淋巴细胞表达不同细胞质内细胞因子(包括IL-4、IL-5、IFN-γ、TNF-α)的频数;利用AD皮损面积严重度指数积分(ADASIS)法,获取治疗前后AD患者病情严重程度积分。结果与安慰剂相比,卡介菌多糖核酸治疗后AD患者外周血中CLA+T淋巴细胞内表达IL-5的频数明显下降;CLA+T淋巴细胞内表达IFN-γ明显升高;卡介菌多糖核酸治疗后患者ADASIS积分下降。结论卡介菌多糖核酸作为一种免疫调节药物,可通过纠正CLA+T淋巴细胞亚群的免疫失衡状态治疗特应性皮炎。
Objective To investigate the influence of polysaccharide and nucleoside extract from bacille Calmett-Guern (PNCG) on the frequency of peripheral cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen positive (CLA + ) T lymphocyte derived lymphokines in atopic dermatitis (AD) and to explore their associations with the disease severity. Methods A randomized, double blind and placebo cross-over control method was used to treat the AD patients. Before and after the treatment, flow cytometry was used to measure the frequencies of IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γ,TNFα positive CLACF cells. Disease severity was evaluated by atopie dermatitis area and severity index score (ADASIS). Results After the PNCG treatment,the frequency of IL-5+ CLA+T cell decreased significantly,while IFN-γ increased,compared with the placebo con- trol group. PNCG could improve the ADASIS. Conclusion PNCG may treat AD through restoring the immune balance of CLA+T cells.
