目的探讨程序性细胞死亡因子配体1(Pd-L1)在乙型肝炎不同病程期间肝组织中的表达,以阐明其在HBV感染慢性化发生发展中的作用。方法用免疫组织化学方法结合图像定量分析系统检测65例慢性HBV感染者和5例健康对照者肝组织内PD-l1的表达.并与肝组织炎症活动度分级、TBil、ALT、AST及HBVDNA进行相关分析。结果健康对照组肝组织PD-L1为(0.64±0.28)%,显著低于慢性乙型肝炎组,分别为:G0(3.07±0.93)%,G1(8.01±1.49)%,G2(11.60±2.60)%,03(18.41±2.21)%,G4(26.04±3.41)%,其表达量与肝脏炎症活动度分级、TBil、AI,T、AST呈正相关(r=0.917、0.787、0.483、0.628,P〈0.05),与HBVDNA载量呈负相关(r=0.620,P%0.05)。结论PD-L1在肝组织中表达上调可能参与了HBV感染慢性化的发病机制。
Objective To investigate expressions of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in hepatic tissues at the different stages of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and clarify its role in the mechanism of chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Methods The expressions of PD-L1 were detected by immunohistochemistry and computer image quantitative analysis in the hepatic tissues of 65 chronic HBV infected patients and 5 healthy controls. The correlations between PD-L1 expression and inflammatory grading in the hepatic tissues, total bilirubin (TBil), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum HBV DNA level were analyzed. Results The Pd-L1 expressions in hepatic tissues of HBV infection with GO -- G4 inflammatory grades were 3. 07 % + 0.93%, 8.01%±1.49%, 11.60%±2.60%, 18.41%±2.21% and 26.04%±3.41%, respectively, which were all significantly stronger than that in controls (0.64 % ±0.28 % ). PD-L1 expression was a positively correlated with inflammation grading of hepatitis tissues, TBil, ALT and AST level in serum (r=0. 917, 0. 787, 0. 483, 0. 628; all P〈0.05), and negatively correlated with serum HBV DNA load (r= -0. 620, P%0.05). Conclusion The upregulated PD-L1 expression may be probably involved in the chronicity of HBV infection.
