目的观察重型再生障碍性贫血(SAA)患者外周血CD8+HLA—DR+T淋巴细胞效应因子水平,进一步探讨SAA的免疫发病机制。方法采用免疫磁珠分选24例SAA初治患者及23名健康对照外周血CD8+HIJA-DR+效应T细胞,半定量反转录PCR检测分选细胞穿孔素、颗粒酶B、Fas配体(FasL)、肿瘤坏死因子β(TNF-β)mRNA表达情况。结果SAA初治组CD8+HLA-DR+效应T细胞的穿孔素、颗粒酶B、FasL、TNF-βmRNA的表达量分别为0.66±0.25、0.56±0.26、0.77±0.24、0.58±0.16,均明显高于健康对照(0.53±0.14、0.40±0.13、0.61±0.16、0.46±0.15,P=0.042、0.012、0.011、0.011)。结论CD8+HIA—DR+效应T细胞可能通过穿孔素、颗粒酶B途径、Fas/FasL途径及TNF-B途径损伤SAA患者骨髓造血细胞,在SAA免疫发病过程中发挥了重要作用。
Objective To examine the expression of lymphokines damaging hematopoietic cells by CD8 + HLA-DR + effector T cells in peripheral blood (PB) of the patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and explore further the heterogeneous immunopathogenesis of SAA. Methods The CD8 + HLA-DR + cells were sorted by immunomagnetic separation from the PB of 24 untreated SAA patients and 23 normal controls. The mRNA expressions of perforin, granzyme B, FasL and tumor necrosis factor I+ (TNF-13) of sorted cells were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results The mRNA levels of perforin, granzyme B of CD8 + HLA-DR * T cells in untreated group were higher than those of the controls (0. 66 ± 0. 25,0. 56 ± 0. 26 vs 0. 53 ± 0. 14, 0. 40 ± 0. 13,P = 0. 042, 0. 012). The mRNA level of FasL in CD8 + HLA-DR+ T cells of untreated SAA patients was higher than that of the controls (0. 77 + 0. 24 vs 0. 61 +0. 16, P =0. 011 ). The mRNA of TNF-[3 in CD8 + HLA-DR+ T cells of untreated SAA patients was also higher than that of the controls ( 0. 58 ± 0. 16 vs 0.46 ± 0. 15, P = 0.011 ). Conclusions CD8 + HLA- DR + T cells may damage hematopoiesis through the actions of perforin, granzyme B, TNF-β and FasL And it thus contributes to the immunopathogenesis of SAA.
