目的:探讨帕金森病( PD)患者外周血T、B淋巴细胞亚群指标的变化规律,评估其作为PD诊断及病情评估的生物学标记的价值。方法以2013年3月至2014年6月从中山大学附属第一医院神经科门诊/住院77例PD患者及体检中心82名健康老年人为研究对象。流式细胞术检测研究对象外周血中CD3+、CD3+CD4+、CD3+CD8+、CD19+淋巴细胞亚群百分比, t检验比较两组差异,多元线性回归分析PD组淋巴细胞亚群与其病程、病情严重程度及其药物剂量的相关性。结果PD患者外周血CD3+、CD3+CD4+T淋巴细胞百分比较对照组明显降低[(62±12)%比(66±9)%, P=0.04;(35±9)%比(38±7)%,P=0.02],尤其男性患者[(66±9)%比(61±13)%,P=0.02;(38±10)%比(33±9)%,P=0.01]。男性患者外周血CD3+T淋巴细胞百分比与其病程呈正相关( r=0.329,P=0.013,回归系数为1.423)。女性患者外周血CD3+CD8+T淋巴细胞百分比则与其病程呈负相关、与非运动症状评分呈正相关(r=-0.309,P=0.045;r=0.370,P=0.020;回归系数分别为-0.354,0.486)。结论 PD患者外周血的T淋巴细胞亚群比例失调,且存在性别差异。外周血淋巴细胞比例的变化可能有助于PD诊断及其病情进展的评估。
Objective To explore the variations of subpopulation of peripheral lymphocytes in Parkinson′s disease ( PD ) and locate its potential biomarkers for clinical evaluations.Methods The methods of direct immunostaining and flow cytometry were employed to test the percentages of CD3 +, CD3 +CD4 +, CD3 +CD8 +, CD19 +lymphocytes in blood samples of 77 PD patients and 82 healthy controls.And the percentages of CD3 +CD4 + and CD3 +CD8 + lymphocytes and the parameters of patients and health controls were analyzed.Results Compared to controls, the percentages of CD3 +, CD3 +CD4 +lymphocytes significantly decreased in PD patients ( (62 ±12)%vs (66 ±9)%, P=0.04;(35 ±9)%vs (38 ±7)%, P=0.02), especially in males ((66 ±9)%vs (61 ±13)%, P=0.02;(38 ±10)%vs (33 ±9)%, P=0.01)).Furthermore, the percentage of CD3 +lymphocytes had a positive correlation with the course of PD in male patients ( r =0.329, P =0.013, β=1.423 ) .And a negative correlation existed between the percentage of CD3 +CD4 +lymphocytes and the course of PD and there was a positive correlation with NMSS scale in female PD patients (r=-0.309, P=0.045, β=-0.354; r=0.370, P=0.020, β=0.486). Conclusion The variants in subpopulation of peripheral lymphocytes in PD patients may serve as a potential biomarker for diagnosing PD and predicting its clinical course.
