目的测定重型再生障碍性贫血(SAA)患者外周血辅助性T细胞Ⅲ型(Th3)、CD4^++CD25^+调节T细胞(Tr)数量和血浆中转化生长因子B1(TGF-β1)水平,探索SAA患者细胞免疫耐受被打破的机制。方法用流式细胞术检测20例发病期和10例免疫抑制治疗(IST)后恢复期的SAA患者外周血表达TGF-β1的CD4^+细胞(Th3)数量;用流式细胞术检测12例新发SAA患者、9例IST后未恢复和10例恢复期SAA患者的Tr数量,并与12名正常对照比较,分析其与CD3^+CD4^+、CD3^+CD8^+细胞及CD3^+CD4^+/CD3^+CD8^+细胞比值的相关性;采用ELISA法检测25例SAA患者血浆中TGF—β1水平,分析其与Th3细胞、血小板计数的相关性。结果正常对照组Th3细胞、CD8^+ TGF-β1^+细胞及Th3/CD8^+TGF-β1^+细胞比值分别为(5.10±0.91)%,(4.93±0.97)%、1.20±0.19;SAA发病组分别为(1.33±0.20)%,(1.72±0.24)%,1.00±0.25,Th3细胞、CD8^+TGF—β1^+细胞比例明显下降(P〈0.01和P〈0.05);SAA恢复组分别为(2.19±0.21)%,(2.07±0.33)%,1.71±0.52,Th3细胞、CD8^+TGF-β1^+细胞比例均较SAA发病组升高,但仍明显低于正常对照组(P值均〈0.05);正常对照组Tr比例为(8.25±1.96)%;新发SAA组为(3.32±0.81)%,明显低于正常对照组;SAA治疗后未恢复组Tr为(7.09±1.84)%,较新发SAA组明显升高(P〈0.05),与正常对照组差异无统计学意义;SAA恢复组Tr为(7.49±1.27)%,较新发SAA组明显升高(P〈0.05),与正常对照组差异无统计学意义;SAA患者Tr与CD3^+CD4^+细胞、CD4^+/CD8^细胞比值呈正相关(r=0.855,P〈0.01;r=0.729,P〈0.01),而与CD3^+CD8^+细胞呈负相关(r=-0.488,P〈0.05);正常对照组血浆TGF-β1水平为(11.06±0.49)μg/L,SAA组为(2.49±0.51)μg?
Objective To explore the mechanism of autoimmune intolerance in severe aplastic an mia (SAA). Methods By FACS, the quantity of peripheral TGF-β producing CD4 ^+ T cells (Th3) in 20 SAA patients at active phase, 10 SAA patients at recovery phase and 12 normal controls were detected. The percentages of peripheral CD4 ^+ CD25 ^+regulatory T cells in 12 SAA patients at active phase, 9 non-responded patients after IST, 6 patients at recovery phase and 12 normal controls were counted, and its correlation with the percentages of CD3 ^+ CD4 ^+ and CD3^+ CD8^+ cells were analyzed. By enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the serum level of TGF-β1 in 25 SAA patients and 13 normal controls was measured and its corre- lation with peripheral platelets counts was analyzed. Results The percentages of peripheral Th3 cells, CD8 ^+ TGF-β1 +cells and the ratio of Th3/ CD8^+ TGF-β1 ^+ in controls were (5.10 ±0.91 )% , (4.93±0.97)% and 1.20 ± 0.19 respectively, and those in SAA patients at active phase were( 1.33 ± 0.20 )%, (1.72 ±0.24) % , 1.00 ± 0.25, respeetively(P 〈 0.01 ,P 〈 0.05 ). The aforementioned parameters of SAA patients at recovery phase increased to (2.19 ±0.21 )% , (2.07 ±0.33)% and 1.71±0.52 respectively, but the percentages of Th3 cells and CD8^+ TGF-β1^+ were still lower ( P 〈 0.05 ). The percentage of Th3 cells was decreased in the SAA patients. The percentage of peripheral CD4^+ CD25^+ T regulator cells in peripheral blood of controls was (8.25±1.96)%, and that in SAA patients was (3.32 ± 0.81 )%. The percentages of CD4 ^+ CD25 ^+ T cells of 9 non-responded patients and 10 patients at recovery phase were increased to (7.09 ± 1.84 ) % and (7.49 ± 1.27 ) % respectively, being no difference from those of normal controls. The percent- age of CIM ^+ CD25^+ T cells of SAA patients was positively related to the percentage of CD3 ^+ CD4^+ cells and the ratio of CD3 ^+ CD4 ^+ to CD3 ^+ CD
