BACKGROUND: Current evidence suggests that lichen planus is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease in which cytotoxic mechanisms have been poorly investigated. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the expression of perforin in subpopulations of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in exacerbation and remission phases of the disease as well as in skin lesions. METHODS: We performed a simultaneous detection of perforin (intracellular molecule) and cell surface antigens on PBL by flow cytometry, and skin lesions were investigated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The most interesting finding was a significant increase of perforin expression in cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD3+ perforin+ cells) in the exacerbation phase of disease (P < 0.05), which was mostly located in the CD8+ subpopulation (CD8+ perforin+) (P < 0.01). Using immunohistochemistry we confirmed the infiltration of T lymphocytes in skin lesions, especially of CD4+ and CD8+ phenotypes, compared with uninvolved (P < 0.05) and healthy skin (P < 0.01). The expression of perforin was also significantly higher in lesional skin compared with nonlesional and healthy skin (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results clearly show the upregulation of perforin expression in peripheral blood as well as in lesions of patients with lichen planus and therefore suggest an important role for perforin in this autoimmune disease. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: An influx of immunocytes, increased epidermal proliferation and abnormal keratinization are hallmarks of the psoriatic lesion. T-lymphocyte subsets in particular activated effector memory T cells and natural killer (NK) T cells have been suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. OBJECTIVES: In the present study we investigated the number of T-cell subsets (CD4, CD8, CD45RO, CD45RA, CD2, CD25), cells expressing NK receptors (CD94 and CD161), the proliferation marker Ki67 and the keratinization marker keratin (K10) across the margin of the spreading psoriatic plaque: distant uninvolved skin, the outer margin (immediately outside the clinical edge), the inner margin (immediately inside the clinical edge) and the central area. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eight patients with active psoriasis vulgaris participated in this study. Biopsies were taken from the spreading psoriatic lesion from the distant uninvolved skin, the outer margin, the inner margin and the central area. Biopsies were processed for immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: In the outer margin CD8+ (cytotoxic T cells) and CD45RO+ (memory effector T cells) T lymphocytes invade the epidermis and in this early stage the activation markers CD2 and CD25 also show a substantial increase. The next phase, from the outer to the inner margin, shows a statistically significant increase of these markers, and especially, the cells expressing NK receptors (CD94 and CD161) show a massive increase together with a significant increase of epidermal proliferation (Ki67) and a decrease of the K10+ epidermal surface. CONCLUSIONS: CD8+, CD45RO+, CD2+ and CD25+ T cells have a role in the early phase of the psoriatic process, whereas CD94- and CD161-expressing cells together with epidermal proliferation and keratinization are involved in a later phase. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Infiltration of the skin by pathogenic T cells is regarded as a key factor in the development of inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis. OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether T cells containing cytotoxic proteins may contribute to the generation of skin inflammation in these skin diseases. METHODS: Skin biopsy specimens were obtained from non-lesional and lesional skin of patients with chronic AD (n = 8) and psoriasis (n = 6), and from non-atopic controls with normal skin (n = 6). Expression of perforin and granzyme B was investigated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: A significant enhancement of perforin and granzyme B expression was observed in lesional AD skin as compared with normal skin, non-lesional AD skin and psoriasis. Expression of these cytotoxic proteins was also increased in psoriasis as compared with normal skin and non-lesional psoriatic skin. Immunoreactivity for perforin and granzyme B was mainly found in the cytoplasm of lymphocytic cells located in the perivascular infiltrate. In AD increased numbers of positive cells were also observed focally at sites of spongiosis in the epidermis. Double immunostaining revealed that both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are capable of expressing perforin and granzyme B. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that cytotoxic CD4+ and CD8+ T cells containing perforin and granzyme B may play an integral part in eliciting cutaneous inflammation in AD. 相似文献

Psoriasis is a hyper‐proliferative disease of the skin in which immunological mechanisms play a direct pathogenetic role. There have been limited studies of natural killer (NK) cells in psoriasis. The aim of this study was to examine the phenotype of NK cells in skin biopsies and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with psoriasis and healthy controls. CD56+CD16? and CD56+CD16+ NK cells were isolated from lesional skin, unaffected skin and PBMC of psoriasis patients, and normal skin and PBMC from healthy controls. The expression of CD57, NKG2A and NKG2C was assessed by flow cytometry. NK cells in psoriasis skin lesions were skewed in their expression of CD57, a marker of NK cell maturity, with CD57 expression significantly reduced and NKG2A expression increased on NK cells in lesional and unaffected skin compared to controls. These data suggest that in this patient cohort, NK cells could be isolated from psoriasis lesions and exhibit an immature phenotype. 相似文献

Abstract: The system of perforin-containing lytic granules of cytotoxic lymphocytes plays an important role in the immune defense machinery. Investigating the capacity and efficacy of this system in and ex vivo is helpful to understand immune responses and their modulation by therapeutic interventions. With regard to its pathophysiological function, we recently demonstrated a substantial increase of perforin-positive CD8+ T cells in the peripheral blood of patients with acute exacerbated psoriasis and severe generalized drug reactions, and, in marked contrast, a highly significant perforin-depletion and a perforin-hyperreleasability in atopic dermatitis (AD). To streamline the perforin staining procedure, isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by Ficoll density centrifugation was to be replaced by lysis of erythrocytes. Ammonium chloride lysis, however, reduced the perforin content of CD8+ T cells substantially (up to 75–100%) as compared with Ficoll isolation of PBMC. Incubation of cells in concanamycin A, a selective inhibitor of H+ -ATPases, resulted in a similar loss of perforin staining pointing to the critical influence of lysosomal pH. Using diethylene glycol-mediated erythrocyte lysis, perforin was well preserved to be readily detectable by immuno flow cytometry. Representative examples of the application of this optimized perforin staining procedure as well as accumulated data are given for various dermatological disorders [psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, cutaneous drug reactions, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)] with strong involvement of the cytotoxic T-cell population. Our findings may help to explain recent conflicting reports about a widely varying range of the portion of perforin-positive cells in healthy individuals as a reflection of such artificial methodological influences. 相似文献

Alefacept, a LFA-3/IgG1 fusion protein, interferes with the activation and proliferation of T cells by binding to the CD2 receptor on their surfaces. The clinical efficacy of this drug has been demonstrated in chronic plaque psoriasis. We performed a single-center, open-label study to investigate the immunohistochemical effects in psoriatic lesional skin. A group of 11 patients with plaque psoriasis all received 12 weekly doses of 7.5 mg alefacept intravenously. Skin biopsies were obtained at baseline and on days 8, 43 and 92, and were evaluated by digital image analysis after immunohistochemical staining. After completion of treatment, 8 out of the 11 patients experienced a reduction in PASI of 50% or more compared to baseline. Immunohistochemical analysis displayed a gradual decrease in the number of cutaneous T cells during therapy, with a significant reduction in epidermal CD8+ cells and dermal CD4+ cells on day 92. Patients with a reduction in PASI of 50% or more after therapy had a clearance of effector/memory T cells from the epidermis, in contrast to patients with a reduction in PASI of less than 50%. These findings support the hypothesis that effector/memory T cells play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, and that alefacept is capable of reducing these cells in lesional psoriatic skin. 相似文献

The development of manifest psoriatic lesions is linked with the invasion of CD8+ T cells and CD11c+ macrophages into the epidermis 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:4

Koebner response was studied in 35 psoriatic patients. Two punch biopsies per patient were taken from non-lesional psoriatic skin before, and 6 h, 2 days, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days after, tape stripping. Alterations in the numbers of CD1+ Langerhans cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and CD11c+ macrophages were mapped morphometrically. Results were compared with lesional and non-lesional psoriatic skin, and control skin. Nine of 35 patients were Koebner-positive. No statistically significant differences were noted between non-lesional psoriatic and control skin. CD4+ T cells increased in number 2 days after trauma in both the epidermis and the dermis, whereas epidermal CD8+ T cells and CD11c+ macrophages increased only in the Koebner-positive lesional skin after 7 days. The changes in lesions induced by tapestripping resembled those seen in lesional psoriatic skin (mature plaques). The number of CD1+ cells increased in mature psoriatic lesions only. It seems possible that trauma per se stimulates the accumulation of CD4+ T cells at the site of injury, but the development of manifest psoriatic lesions correlates with invasion of CD8+ T cells and CD11c+ macrophages into the epidermis. 相似文献

The expression of amphiregulin (AR) in the basal epidermis of transgenic mice [keratin 14 promoter AR gene (K14-ARGE)] has been previously shown to induce an early-onset and severe skin pathology, with many similarities to psoriasis. In this study, it is demonstrated that involucrin enhancer/promoter-dependent expression of human AR (INV-AR) in the suprabasal epidermis of transgenic mice also produces a cutaneous psoriasis-like phenotype. INV-AR mice possess a limited lifespan and scaling, papillomatous, erythematous skin with partial alopecia. INV-AR mouse histopathology also revealed epidermal hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, acanthosis, and an exaggerated dermal vasculature. A dermal and epidermal infiltrate was also evident and consisted of both neutrophils and CD3(+) T lymphocytes. The histology of synovial joints in both the INV-AR mice and the K14-ARGE mice of our previous investigation was examined. The histologic examination revealed that 3-week-old INV-AR transgenic mice displayed normal knee joint histology, while 2- to 3-week-old K14-ARGE transgenic mice frequently displayed synovitis, as exemplified by the presence of a mixed leukocytic infiltration, increased vascularization, and enhanced deposition of fibrous matrix in the knee synovium. These results demonstrate that AR overexpression in both the basal and suprabasal epidermis of transgenic mice induces a phenotype that mimics cutaneous psoriasis, while basal AR expression is also associated with synovial inflammation, a precursor to the psoriasis-associated arthropathy, psoriatic arthritis. Collectively, the results implicate epidermal AR expression as a possible mediator of innate cutaneous immunity and epidermal proliferation and also as a potential trigger of both cutaneous psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. 相似文献

To elucidate the involvement of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, we measured TGF-alpha levels in the extracts from six normal epidermis and four psoriatic involved epidermis samples by enzyme-linked sorbent assay using monoclonal antibody specific for TGF-alpha. The amount of TGF-alpha in the extracts of normal epidermis was 1.45 +/- 1.06 ng/g of wet tissue, while the amount in psoriatic involved epidermis was 6.71 +/- 0.75 ng/g of wet tissue. The TGF-alpha level in psoriatic involved epidermis was thus 4.62 fold higher than that of normal epidermis (P less than 0.001). TGF-alpha binds to epidermal growth factor receptors and functions as an autocrine growth factor for epidermal keratinocytes. Therefore, the increased levels of TGF-alpha may be involved in the induction or the maintenance of hyperproliferation of psoriatic epidermal keratinocytes. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In psoriasis CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells are functionally deficient. The imbalance between regulatory and effector T-cell functions is important for inducing psoriasis. It is reasonable to speculate that the dysfunctional activity of CD4+CD25+ regulatory cells may originate partly from the abnormal haematopoietic cells determined mainly by genetic background. OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that haematopoietic stem cells are responsible for dysfunctional CD4+CD25+ regulatory cells in psoriasis. METHODS: Bone marrow-derived CD34+ haematopoietic cells from patients with psoriasis (with a family history of psoriasis) and from normal controls were differentiated into T cells in vitro. CD4+CD25+ T cells were isolated by an immunomagnetic bead method, and proliferation activity and capacity for cytokine secretion were determined. Furthermore, the ability of CD4+CD25+ T cells to suppress the proliferative responses of allogeneous peripheral blood CD4+CD25- effector T cells was assessed in vitro. RESULTS: The differentiated CD4+CD25+ T cells of psoriatic origin showed similar characteristics to those of normal volunteers, including proliferation activity and secretion profile of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-8, IL-10 and interferon (IFN)-gamma. However, proliferation and secretion levels of the cytokines IL-2 and IL-10 for CD4+CD25+ cells of psoriatic CD34+ cell origin were significantly lower than those of normal controls in response to streptococcal superantigen (Strep-A). In particular, CD4+CD25+ T cells differentiated from psoriatic CD34+ cells were functionally insufficient to restrain effector T-cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS: CD4+CD25+ T cells differentiated in vitro from haematopoietic cells of patients with psoriasis are impaired in regulatory function. The dysfunction of psoriatic CD4+CD25+ T cells may be due to inherent genetic programming passed down from bone marrow-derived haematopoietic cells. 相似文献
