CD4~+CD25~+Foxp3~+调节性T细胞在子宫内膜癌患者外周血中的表达及意义

探讨在子宫内膜癌患者外周血中CD4+CD25+Foxp3+调节性T细胞的表达情况及意义。采用流式细胞术检测84例术前子宫内膜癌患者及40例子宫肌瘤患者外周血中CD4+CD25+Foxp3+细胞比例及Foxp3平均荧光强度,采用qRT-PCR检测两组患者外周血中Foxp3的mRNA表达情况,同时采用ELISA检测外周血中TGF-β1和IL-17含量。与子宫肌瘤组比较,子宫内膜癌患者外周血中CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg细胞的比例虽略有升高但没有统计学意义(P=0.08),而CD4+CD25+细胞内Foxp3的平均荧光强度明显升高(P<0.001)。子宫内膜癌患者外周血中Foxp3的mRNA表达要明显多于子宫肌瘤组(P<0.001)。子宫内膜癌患者外周血中TGF-β1、IL-17的含量要多于子宫肌瘤组。子宫内膜癌患者外周血中的Foxp3+Treg细胞表达增多,这些细胞可能通过增加细胞因子TGF-β和IL-17的分泌从而调节机体对肿瘤细胞免疫反应的方向,最终促进子宫内膜癌的发生和发展。     

类风湿关节炎患者外周血和滑液中CD4~+CD25~+调节性T细胞的水平变化

了解具有抑制功能的CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞(Treg)在类风湿关节炎(RA)中的水平变化。分离32例RA患者及35例正常对照者外周血和15例RA关节滑液中的单个核细胞,用荧光抗体标记细胞膜表面CD4、CD25分子和细胞内Foxp3转录因子,进行流式细胞分析,同时用RT-PCR方法测定单个核细胞中Foxp3 mRNA水平。实验发现RA外周血中CD4+CD25hT细胞比例(1.90±1.68)与健康人(1.81±1.79)无明显差异,而RA关节滑液中CD4+CD25+和CD4+CD25hT细胞含量却明显增高(14.98±12.52,8.94±9.67,P<0.01)。RA患者外周血单个核细胞中Foxp3+/CD4+T细胞比值(2.35±2.06)较正常人(7.25±3.98)明显降低(P<0.01),RA外周血中Foxp3 mRNA含量较正常人Treg减少,而RA关节液中Foxp3 mRNA含量较RA外周血更为低下(P<0.01)。RA患者存在CD4+CD25+Treg的异常改变,其外周血和关节液中具有抑制作用的Treg含量明显降低提示RA患者Treg数量减少及抑制功能下降可能是RA自身免疫反应亢强不能控制的原因之一。RA关节液中CD4+CD25hT细胞增高考虑与RA炎症反应造成T细胞过度活化有关。     

内毒素耐受状态下脾脏CD4~+Foxp3~+调节性T细胞的比例变化及意义

以5mg/kg浓度LPS腹腔注射C57BL/6小鼠建立内毒素耐受模型,观察注射72h及8d后脾脏大小、重量及总细胞数;HE染色观察脾脏病理学变化;FACS检测CD4+Foxp3+Treg细胞比例并计算其细胞总数;同时检测CD4+Foxp3+Treg细胞功能相关膜分子CTLA-4的相对表达;Ki-67染色法检测CD4+Foxp3+Treg细胞的增殖情况;PI染色法检测CD4+Foxp3+Treg细胞的凋亡情况;Real-time PCR技术检测脾脏中TGF-β的相对表达。结果发现与对照组相比,LPS注射72h后脾脏大小、重量及细胞总数显著增加(P0.05),且发生病理学改变;脾脏中CD4+Foxp3+Treg细胞比例和数量显著减少(P0.05),CTLA-4表达水平显著降低(P0.05);同时,增殖比例明显减少,凋亡比例增加(P0.05);最后,脾脏中TGF-β的相对表达水平显著减少。LPS注射8d后脾脏大小、重量及细胞总数均与对照组相比无差异(P0.05),且脾脏组织结构未见改变;脾脏中CD4+Foxp3+Treg细胞比例及数量仍减少(P0.05),而其表达CTLA-4水平增加(P0.05),且凋亡和增殖比例无明显差异(P0.05);最后,脾脏组织中TGF-β的相比表达显著增加。结果表明,内毒素耐受状态下,CD4+Foxp3+Treg细胞比例发生明显改变,可能与细胞凋亡和增殖变化有关。     

中孕期小鼠CD4~+Foxp~(3+)调节性T细胞的比例变化

本实验通过检测中孕期小鼠全身及局部CD4+Foxp3+调节性T细胞的比例变化,探讨妊娠状态下CD4+Foxp3+调节性T细胞与异基因胎儿抗原刺激之间的相互关系。将成熟B ALB/c雌鼠与BALB/c雄鼠或C57BL/6雄鼠交配作为实验组,选取未孕BALB/c雌鼠为对照组。受孕10~12 d后分离小鼠的外周血、脾脏、淋巴结、胎盘,分别用流式细胞学、免疫组化、RT-PCR法检测相关组织中的CD4+Foxp3+调节性T细胞的变化。结果:(1)流式检测实验组中同基因孕鼠和异基因孕鼠脾脏的CD4+Foxp3+T细胞占CD4+T细胞的比例较对照组明显增高(P<0.01);但是同基因和异基因孕鼠之间这类细胞比例的变化并无明显差异(P>0.05)。同样,在淋巴结和外周血中也取得类似结果;(2)免疫组化S-P法显示对照组和实验组均可在脾脏、髂淋巴结组织中表达Foxp3,但是对照组Foxp3+调节性细胞的数目显著低于实验组(P<0.01),但是同基因和异基因妊娠组间无明显差异(P>0.05);(3)RT-PCR法从同基因孕鼠和异基因孕鼠的胎盘局部检出Foxp3 mR-NA的表达。中孕期小鼠全身相关组织中CD4+Foxp3+调节性T细胞的比例显著增高,其扩增并非由于父系来源的MHC抗原所致,而是由妊娠本身所介导。另外,在胎盘局部有Foxp3 mRNA的高表达,由此推测CD4+Foxp3+调节性T细胞可能在母胎界面的局部发挥作用,抑制针对胎儿的免疫排斥。     

CD4+CD25+Foxp3+T细胞在子痫前期中作用机制的研究

Regulatory CD8+CD28- T cells in heart transplant recipients

Human regulatory CD8+CD28- T cells (Ts) generated in vitro were demonstrated to suppress the activation and proliferation of T helper cells (Th) induced by allogeneic cells. This effect requires cell-to-cell contact, is antigen-specific, and results in Th anergy. To study the population of CD8+CD28- T cells present in vivo, flow cytometry was performed on whole blood specimens obtained from 25 heart transplant recipients and 12 normal controls. A significant expansion of CD8+CD28- T cells was found in transplant recipients as compared with normal individuals (p = 0.005). Expression of CD38, human leukocyte antigen-DR, and perforin positive cells within the CD8+CD28- subset was significantly higher in transplant patients than in normal controls, yet there was no correlation between the expression of these markers and acute rejection. Expression of the CD27 marker, however, was significantly higher within CD8+CD28- T cells from patients without rejection as compared with patients in rejection (p = 0.005), indicating that the memory-like CD8+CD28-CD27+ T-cell subset comprises regulatory cells, which play a protective role for the graft. CD8+CD28- T cells isolated from transplant patients did not display cytotoxic activity against donor cells and showed high expression of the killing inhibitory receptor CD94. This study identifies the phenotypic changes that occur in patients with heart transplants and opens new avenues for the induction of specific immunosuppression in transplantation.     

肾移植后外周血CD4+及CD8+T细胞亚群计数的临床意义

背景：临床上常以流式细胞检测受者外周血CD4、CD8细胞比值来揭示与排斥或感染相关的关系。 目的：探讨肾移植后排斥或感染时外周血CD4⁺及CD8⁺T细胞(简称CD4和CD8细胞)亚群计数的变化和意义。 方法：应用流式细胞仪检测肾移植121例受者CD4、CD8细胞数进行检测。根据入院病情将患者分为移植后正常组、急性排斥组、肺部感染组进行观察。 结果与结论：移植后正常患者和急性排斥患者相比,CD4、CD8细胞数差异均无显著性意义(P > 0.05)。肾移植后肺部感染患者CD4、CD8细胞数则均显著低于移植后正常组(P < 0.001)。当感染控制、症状改善时,CD4、CD8细胞数显著升高 (P < 0.001)。说明肾移植后CD4和CD8细胞计数可以作为免疫状态的参考,其对于感染的参考价值大于排斥,动态观察分析有助于指导治疗。     

The alternation of CD8+ cells and its subpopulations by serial monitoring of peripheral blood lymphocytes of renal allograft recipients

To catch and treat the initial alternation of a rejection and infection, we have introduced the serial analysis of lymphocyte surface antigens of peripheral blood lymphocytes by flow cytometry for 9 cases of renal allo-graft recipients since September 30 in 1988. In three recipients without rejection and infection, we found that T8+(CD8+), T8+Mo1+(CD11b+), T8+Mo1-(CD11b-), and T8+IL-2R+(CD25+) subsets were variable for first 20 days and then they were stable. However, another activated CD8+ T-cell subset such as T8+I2+(HLA-DR+) subset gradually increased after first 20 days, so that we investigated the different processes between these two activated subsets. On primary rejection of 5 cases, T8+I2+ and T8+IL-2R+ subsets showed peak formations within 2 days before the rejection. Two of these 5 cases resisted to a primary rejection therapy and showed rebounding arise of these subsets. We could easily convert to OKT-3 rescue therapy and treat them successfully. In order to catch the initial alternation of the primary rejection and treat the rebounding reaction successfully, we should monitor the T8+I2+ and T8+IL-2R+ subsets daily for first 2 weeks and after then 3 times a week.

目的:探讨再生障碍性贫血(AA)患者外周血中CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞(Tress)及Foxp3的表达及临床意义.方法:25例AA病人,其中含非重型再障(nSAA)18例、重型再障(SAA)7例,采用四色流式细胞检测技术分析从患者外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)中CD4+T细胞、CD4+CD25+/CD4+、CD4+CD25high/CD4+T细胞百分比及绝对计数,并进一步分析AA患者PBMC的CD4++CD25+、CD4+CD25low及CD4+CD25highT细胞中Foxp3+T细胞的百分比,同时利用RT-PCR方法检测PBMC中Foxp3mRNA表达水平,并与29例正常对照组的上述指标进行比较.结果:与正常对照组相比,SAA患者及nSAA患者PBMC中CDM+T细胞、CD4+CD25+/CD4+、CD4+CD25high/CD4+百分比及绝对计数减低(P<0.05),并且SAA组明显低于nSAA组(P<0.001);从患者CD+CD25+、CD4+CD25low及CD4+CD25highT细胞中Foxp3的表达较正常对照组减低(P<0.05);AA患者PBMC中Foxp3 mRNA表达水平与正常对照组没有明显差别(P>0.05).结论:CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞减低可能与从的发病有关,SAA的Treg表达低于nSAA,为其作为从病情变化的判断指标提供进一步的依据.     

The frequency of regulatory CD3+CD8+CD28- CD25+ T lymphocytes in human peripheral blood increases with age

Aging is commonly associated with immune deficiency and dysregulation. The aging of the immune system involves a progressive reduction in na?ve T cell output associated with thymic involution and peripheral expansion of oligoclonal memory T cells. We have investigated frequency, phenotype, and function of CD3+CD8+CD28(-)CD25+ T cells in healthy volunteers over a wide age range. We demonstrate that the frequency of CD3+CD8+CD28(-)CD25+ T cells in healthy volunteers increases with age. Peripheral CD3+CD8+CD28(-)CD25+ T cells share phenotypic and functional features with CD3+CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs): In particular, they strongly express CTLA-4 and forkhead box P3. We observed that in vitro, functional titration assays of CD3+CD8+CD28(-)CD25+ T cells show equivalent regulatory function in young and elderly donors, with suppression of proliferation and cytokine production in response to polyclonal T cell stimulation. Finally, CD3+CD8+CD28(-)CD25+ T cells seem to specifically express the CD122 receptor. Altogether, these observations demonstrate an increase in peripheral blood CD8+ Tregs associated with aging.     

TCR repertoire of suppressor CD8+CD28- T cell populations.

The cellular basis of graft rejection and the development of strategies for specific suppression of T cell responses against allogeneic and xenogeneic transplants represents an area of active investigation. Recently, a population of MHC-class I restricted CD8+CD28- T suppressor cells (Ts) which are able to inhibit specifically the proliferative response of allospecific, xenospecific and nominal-antigen specific CD4+ T helper cells (Th) has been identified. We have studied the TCR V beta gene repertoire expressed by CD8+CD28- Ts isolated from allospecific, xenospecific, and nominal antigen-specific T cell lines (TCL). A limited V beta repertoire has been found in all TCLs studied. The most restricted TCR V beta usage was observed within the population of Ts from xenospecific TCLs. The TCR V beta usage within the Ts subset of TCL differs from the TCR repertoire expressed by the CD4+ Th subset of the same TCL. This is consistent with the fact that Ts and Th cells recognize distinct MHC/ antigen complexes. The finding that the TCR repertoire used by Ts is limited opens new avenues for studying the mechanisms of transplant rejection.     

Foxp3 expressing CD4+ CD25+ and CD8+CD28- T regulatory cells in the peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer and pleural mesothelioma

The role of T regulatory (Treg) cells in human cancer has not yet been clarified. We assessed the presence and function of CD4+ and CD8+ Treg cell subsets in the peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer (LC) and pleural mesothelioma (PM). We found a low but significant increase in the number of CD4+ T cells with phenotype and functional features of Treg cells in LC patients compared to normal healthy controls (NHC). Furthermore, total CD4+ T cells from LC patients proliferated less than cells from controls, suggesting that the increase in the CD4+ Treg cell pool has functional importance. LC patients also showed an expansion of the CD8+CD28- T cell subset and these cells expressed Foxp3 mRNA, as recently observed in alloantigen-specific CD8+CD28- T suppressor cells. No variation of peripheral Treg cell subsets was found in patients with PM, a disease with a predominantly localized nature. However, the lack of correlation between cancer stage and the number or the function of peripheral Treg cells in LC patients refuted the hypothesis that these cells are involved in tumor spreading. A possible involvement of the peripheral Treg cell pool in cancer development and/or in inducing systemic immunosuppression in LC patients can be hypothesized.
