目的:探讨急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)患者外周血CD4^+CD28^nullT细胞和CD4^+CD28^nullT细胞上电压依赖性钾离子通道(Kvl.3)和钙依赖激活的钾离子通道(IKcal)的表达。方法:入选对象共75例,分为3组:其中ACS组27例,稳定型心绞痛组20例,对照组28例。分离外周血单个核细胞(PBMCs),用ELISA法测定PBMCs中NF-κB的活性,流式细胞仪计数CD4^+CD28^nullT细胞占CD4^+T细胞的比例。免疫荧光染色标记结合膜片钳技术记录ACS组CD4^+CD28^nullT细胞和CD4^+CD28^nullT细胞上Kvl.3和IKCal的电流,计算单细胞上通道的数目。结果:ACS组NF-κB的活性和CD4^+CD28^nullT细胞的比例显著高于稳定型心绞痛组和对照组(P〈0.05)。NF-κB的活性和CD4^+CD28^nullT细胞的比例具有正相关关系(r=0.369,P〈0.05)。CD4^+CD28^nullT细胞上Kv1.3的数目和电流密度显著高于CD4^+CD28^+T细胞(P〈0.05)。CD4^+CD28^nullT细胞、CD4^+CD28^+T细胞上IKCal的数目差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。结论:Kvl.3通道对CD4^+CD28^nullT细胞的功能具有重要作用,Kvl.3通道有可能成为AS治疗的新靶点。
Objective:To investigate the expression of voltage-gated potassium channel 1.3(Kvl. 3) and calcium-activated potassium channel (IKCal) on the subset of CD4^+T lymphocytes in peripheral blood of patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Method: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from 27 patients with ACS, 20 patients with stable angina and 28 matched controls. The proportion of CD4^+CD28^nullT lymphocytes was detected by flow cytometry. The activity of nuclear factor kappaB in PBMCs was quantified in an ELISA based essays. To calculate the number of the channel on a single cell the current of Kvl. 3 and IKCal in T cells were recorded by patch clamp technique combined with immunofluorescence. Result:The proportion of CD4^+CD28^null T lymphocytes and the activity of NF-κB were significantly higher in patients with ACS than in the other groups (P〈0. 05). There was a positive correlation between the number of CD4^+CD28^null T lymphocyte and the activity of NF-κB(r=0. 369,P〈0.05). Patch clamp revealed that the number of IKCal in the two subsets of CD4^+T cell was similar, Whereas the expression of Kvl. 3 appeared to be great different. CD4^+CD28^nullT lymphocyte had far more Kvl. 3 channels and higher current density than CD4^+ CD28^+ T lymphocyte (P〈0.05). Conelusion:CD4^+CD28^nullT lymphocytes in patients with ACS exhibit Kvl. 3^ high iKCal^low phenotype, which may confer the possibility of using Kvl. 3 blocker as a new therapy for atherosclerosis.
