脓毒症患者外周血祖细胞和内皮祖细胞数量的变化

目的 检测脓毒症患者外周血单个核细胞(peripheral blood mononuelear cell,PBMC)中祖细胞和血管内皮祖细胞(endothelial progenitor cells,EPC)相对数量的变化,探讨感染性休克和非休克患者外周血EPC变化的特点.方法 收集2007年8月至2008年2月复大学附属中山医院急诊科收治的脓毒症患者27例进行前瞻性研究,其中感染性休克患者12例、非休克患者15例,另选10例健康成年人作为正常对照,ICU非脓毒症患者10例作为ICU对照.Ficoll梯度离心法分离外周血PBMC,通过流式细胞仪检测外周血PBMC标记的CDl33,CIY34和血管内皮牛长因子受体-2(vascular endothelialgrowth factor receptor-2.VEGFR-2)的表达情况,计算祖细胞以及内皮祖细胞的相对数量.组间比较采用单因素方差分析.结果 健康成年人外周血祖细胞、EPC数量较少,分别占PBMC的0.25%.4-0.14%和0.09%.4-0.02%;ICU非脓毒症患者祖细胞和EPC数量分别占PBMC的0.38%.4-0.29%和0.12%.4-O.02%,与正常对照组相比无明显的变化(P>0.05);脓毒症非休克组患者外周血祖细胞、EPC的数量明显增加,分别占PBMC的0.57%±0.12%和0.22%±0.10%,与正常对照组相比差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);感染性休克患者外周血祖细胞和EPE的数量明显减少,分别占PBMC的0.20%.4-0.12%和0.04%±O.01%,与非休克组、ICU对照组和正常对照组相比差异均具有统计学意义(P

Changes of circulating progenitor cells and circulating endothelial progenitor cells in patients With sepsis

Objective To investigate the changes of circulaling progenitor cells and endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs)in non-septic and septic shock patients using flow cytometry.Method A total of 27 sepsis patients hospitalized in emergency department of Zhongshan hospital during August 2007 to February 2008 were enrolled in this study.The patients were dividedinto septic shock group(n=12)and non-septic shock group(n=15).Ten healthy individuals and ten non-sepsis ICU patients were collected as controls.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation,and EPCs labelled with antibodies against CDl33,CD34 and VEGFR-2 were identified and isolated by three-color fluorescence flow cytometry.Differences within the groups were analyzed using One way ANOVA.Results The percentages ofprogenitor cells and EPCs in the PBMC fraction in healthy controls were(0.25%4-0.14%),(0.09%-I-0.02%),respectively,and those in ICU controls were(O.38%.4-0.29%),(0.12%.4-0.02%).The percentages of progenitor cells and EPCs were significantly higher in栅sel如c shock patients(0.57%±0.12%),(0.22%.4-0.10%)than in heathy and non-sepsis ICU controls(P<0.05).However.the percentages of progenitor cells and EPC8 in septic shock pa.tienta(O.20%±0.12%,0.04%-t-O.01%)was obviousely lower than those in healthy,ICU controls and ilionseptic shock patients(P<0.05).Sptic shock survivors had significantly higher numbers of cEPCs than nonsur.vivors(P<0.05).Conclusions The level of progenitor cells and EPC8 in peipheral blood of sepsis patients might be the valuable markers to as.se88 the severity and outcome ofthese ptienS.
