Clinical observation of immunity in patients with secondary infection from severe acute pancreatitis
Objectives
To observe immune system changes in patients with secondary infection from severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods
Seventy-nine patients were recruited. The percentages of CD4+, CD8+, natural killer (NK), HLA-DR+ cells and B lymphocytes, and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio, were determined. In addition, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and interleukin-4 (IL-4) serum levels were determined on days 1, 7, 14, and 28.Results
Fifteen patients had a secondary infection. The immune response of the infected group was quite different from the non-infected group, with a higher percentage of CD4+ and HLA-DR+ cells on days 1, 7, 14 and 28, a higher percentage of CD8+ and NK cells on days 14 and 28, a reduced CD4+/CD8+ ratio, and a reduction in B lymphocytes. The cytokine levels in the infected group were different from the non-infected group, with a rise in TNF-α and IL-6 through the first 2?weeks, but dropping at 1?month. IL-10 and IL-4 increased initially, but then dropped over the next 3?weeks.Conclusions
An early excessive immune response followed by a subsequent immune deficiency is closely related to secondary SAP infection. 相似文献8.
探讨晚期肺癌患者的CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞(Treg)、IL-10及其他T细胞亚群表达的临床意义。检测晚期肺癌患者92例和正常对照者64名的IL-10(ELISA法)、CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞及其他T细胞亚群(流式细胞仪法)。结果显示:肺癌组血清IL-10明显大于对照组(278±34ng/L vs 122±65ng/L,P〈0.01)、CD4+CD25+Treg细胞明显大于对照组[(17.8±5.2)%vs(7.1±0.4)%,P〈0.01]、CD3+、CD4+、CD8+CD28+和NK细胞明显小于对照组[(58.4±7.8)%vs(78.2±6.4)%,P≤0.05;(34.4±7.6)%vs(44.9±8.4)%,P〈0.01;(9.4±3.6)%vs(16.5±2.7)%,P〈0.01;(9.4±3.6)%vs(18.5±7.2)%,P〈0.01]。CD8+T细胞明显高于对照组[(37.8±6.5)%vs(31.8±5.1)%,P〈0.01]。CD4+CD25+Treg细胞、IL-10与CD8+CD28+细胞、NK细胞呈明显负相关。这些结果表明,CD4+CD25+Treg细胞与IL-10增多为晚期肺癌患者免疫功能受损的表现。 相似文献

In vitro studies have indicated that T lymphocyte activation may be of importance in the pathogenesis of HIV infection. In order to define the role of immune activation in vivo, we assessed the expression of the T cell activation markers HLA-DR and CD25 by flow cytometry in peripheral blood in relation to disease severity and the surrogate markers CD4 and beta 2-microglobulin in 157 patients with HIV infection and 53 healthy seronegative blood donors. Percentage levels of CD3+HLA-DR+ T lymphocytes were significantly higher (P < 0.0001) and percentage levels of CD3+CD25+ T lymphocytes significantly lower (P < 0.0001) in all HIV+ patients compared with controls. A significant correlation was observed between increasing percentage levels of CD3+HLA-DR+ T lymphocytes and both declining CD4 counts (r = 0.52; P < 0.001) and increasing beta 2-microglobulin levels (r = 0.56; P < 0.001). Percentage levels of CD4+HLA-DR+ and CD4+ CD25+ lymphocytes were significantly higher in all HIV+ patients compared with controls (P < 0.001). Levels of activated (HLA-DR+ and CD25+) CD4+ lymphocytes showed a significant step-wise linear increase with increasing disease severity (P < 0.001). High levels of CD3+HLA-DR+ T lymphocytes were found in a greater proportion (81.8%) of asymptomatic HIV+ patients (Centres for Disease Control (CDC) group II) than low CD4 counts (51.5%) (P < 0.001). Compared with controls, HIV+ patients had higher percentage levels of CD8+HLA-DR+ lymphocytes (P < 0.001), but similar levels of CD8+CD25+ lymphocytes. These results indicate that T cell activation is not only a consistent but also an early feature in HIV infection. Monitoring levels of activated T cells and their subsets is of value in assessing progression of HIV-related disease. 相似文献

Africans have elevated T cell activation compared to residents of Europe or the USA. Levels of T cell activation also correlate with disease progression in HIV-infected individuals. We sought to determine if treatment with antiretroviral therapy (ART) would reduce levels of T cell activation (CD38 and HLADR co-expression) in HIV-infected Ugandan children. The median CD8+ T cell activation level among 199 ART-treated children (30%) was lower than in 57 ART-naïve children (45%, p < 0.001), but remained higher than in 30 HIV-uninfected children (18%, p < 0.001). Among ART-treated children, CD4% was inversely correlated with both CD8− (ρ = − 0.61, p < 0.001) and CD8+ (ρ = − 0.38, p < 0.001) T cell activation. Prospectively, CD4 recovery correlated with post-treatment CD8+ T cell activation level (p = 0.008). Our data suggest that significant decreases in T cell activation accompany CD4 recovery in ART-treated HIV-infected African children, to levels that approach but do not reach those of uninfected children. 相似文献

Pulmonary fibrosis involves various types of immune cells and soluble mediators, including TGF-β and IL-35, a recently identified heterodimeric cytokine that belongs to the IL-12 cytokine family. However, the effect of regulatory IL-35 may play an important role in fibrotic diseases. The aim of this paper is to explore the immunoregulatory role of IL-35 in the development of fibrosis in interstitial lung disease (ILD). To gain a better understanding of this issue, the concentrations of IL-35 and different profibrotic cytokines in fibrotic (F-ILD) and non-fibrotic (NF-ILD) patients by ELISA were compared to that of intracellular IL-35 and IL-17 on CD4+ T cells stimulated in the presence of BAL or with different ratios of recombinant IL-35 (rIL-35) and TGF-β (rTGF-β), which were evaluated by flow cytometry. We observed that BAL concentration of IL-35 was lower in F patients (p < 0.001) and was negatively correlated with concentrations of TGF-β (p < 0.001) and IL-17 (p < 0.001). In supplemented cell cultures, BAL from NF but not F patients enhanced the percentage of IL-35 + CD4+ T (p < 0.001) cells and decreased the percentage of IL-17 + CD4+ T cells (p < 0.001). The percentage of IL-35 + CD4+ T cells correlated positively with BAL concentration of IL-35 (p = 0.02), but correlated negatively with BAL concentrations of IL-17 (p = 0.007) and TGF-β (p = 0.01). After adjusting the concentrations of recombinant cytokines to establish a TGF-β: IL-35 ratio of 1:4, an enhanced percentage of IL-35 + CD4+ T cells (p < 0.001) but a decreased percentage of IL-17 + CD4+ T cells (p < 0.001) was observed. After adding recombinant IL-35 to the BAL from F patients until a 1:4 ratio of TGF-β: IL-35 was reached, a significantly increased percentage of IL-35 + CD4+ T cells (p < 0.001) and a decreased percentage of IL-17 + CD4+ T cells (p = 0.003) was found. These results suggest that IL-35 may induce an anti-fibrotic response, regulating the effect of TGF-β and the inflammatory response on CD4+ T cells. In addition, the TGF-β: IL-35 ratio in BAL has been shown to be a potential biomarker to predict the outcome of F patients with ILD. 相似文献

Changes in the expression of intracellular interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interferon (IFN)-γ, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in newborn and adult lymphocytes induced by herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 were examined. Cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMC) or adult peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were infected with HSV-1 and cultured with phorbol 2-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) plus ionomycin in the presence of monensin for 4 hr. Surface antigen and intracellular cytokines were stained simultaneously and analyzed by flow cytometry. The percentage of cells that expressed IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α was significantly increased in HSV-1-infected CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD45RA+, and CD45R0+ lymphocytes compared with uninfected lymphocytes from adult PBMC. The percentage of cells that expressed IL-2 and TNF-α was increased significantly in HSV-1-infected CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and CD45RA+ lymphocytes compared with uninfected lymphocytes from CBMC. IFN-γ was under the detectable level in HSV-1-infected and uninfected lymphocytes from CBMC. Intracellular IL-4 was not detected in HSV-1 or in uninfected lymphocytes from PBMC and CBMC. These results demonstrate that HSV-1 enhances intracellular levels of IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α in adult lymphocytes and defective IFN-γ production in cord blood. J. Med.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune joint disease. We evaluated a standard preparation of Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum) and San-Miao-San (Rhizoma atractylodis, Cortex phellodendri, Radix achyranthes bidentatae) capsules (TCM group) for its supplementary treatment efficacy for RA. There was no significant difference in the absolute count, percentage, and ratios of CD4+/CD8+/natural killer/B lymphocytes between the TCM and placebo groups after taking the capsules (all p > 0.05). There was no significant change in concentrations of plasma cytokines of interferon-γ-induced protein-10 (IP-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, monokine induced by IFN-γ, regulated upon activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted, interleukin (IL)-8, and IL-18 after taking the capsules for 8 and 24 weeks (all p > 0.05). The percentage change in ex vivo-induced level of inflammatory cytokine IL-18 was significantly lower in the TCM group than in the placebo group after taking the capsules for 24 weeks (p < 0.05). Therefore, Lingzhi and San-Miao-San capsules might exert a beneficial immunomodulatory effect in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. 相似文献

The proinflammatory cytokines play a central role in mediating cellular and physiological responses, and levels may reflect immune system effectiveness. In this study, the effect of ageing on the inflammatory response was examined using a novel method to detect production of the proinflammatory cytokines, i.e. tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), IL-6 and IL-1β. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from healthy donors of different ages were incubated for 0, 24, 48 and 72 h with or without phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stimulation. At each time point these cells were permeabilized and incubated with secondary conjugated FITC MoAbs specific for each cytokine. A flow cytometric system was developed to quantify specific intracellular fluorescence in T cells (CD3+) and monocytes (CD14+). TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β production in cell culture supernatants was also measured using ELISAs. In older subjects, flow cytometry detected significant increases in intracellular T cell TNF-α and IL-6 (P < 0.05). IL-1β was not detected in any of the T cell samples. Likewise, the monocytes of older subjects demonstrated increased intracellular levels of all three cytokines, but these increases were not significant (P > 0.05). These changes in intracellular proinflammatory cytokine levels may explain some of the exaggerated inflammatory responses seen in elderly patients. 相似文献

Previous studies have suggested that CD4+ T lymphocytes shift from the Th1 type to the Th2 type during disease progression in patients with the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1). In the present study, we used a modified method that allowed a direct measurement of intracellular cytokines in CD4+ CD8- T cells. A total of 48 HIV-1-infected (HIV+) and 16 HIV-1-uninfected (HIV-) individuals were studied. The percentages of CD4+ CD8- T cells producing interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin-4 (IL-4), or interleukin-5 (IL-5) in HIV+ and HIV- subjects were 23.6% versus 34.9% (P < 0.01), 13.7% versus 13.2%, 1.3% versus 1.0%, and 1. 2% versus 0.9%, respectively. The population of IL-2-producing cells decreased proportionately with reductions in CD4 counts (< 200/mm3, 200-500/mm3, and > 500/mm3 to 18.0%, 23.5%, and 30.5%, P < 0.05, respectively). There was an inverse correlation between the percentage of IL-2-producing cells and plasma viral load (r = - 0. 446, P < 0.05). However, the percentages of CD4+ CD8- T cells producing other cytokines were not different between HIV+ and HIV-. Our cross-sectional study demonstrated a decrease in IL-2-producing cells but not the Th1 to the Th2 shift in the CD4+ CD8- T cell population in the moderate and advanced stages of HIV-1-infection. 相似文献

We have determined the percentage of alphabeta and gammadelta T cells by flow cytometry as well as serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and soluble interleukin-6 receptor (sIL-6R) levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in kidney allograft recipients with acute, chronic or stable graft evolution. The percentage of CD4 and CD8 T cells in transplanted patients was lower than in the control group (P < 0.001) with the exception of CD8 gammadelta T cells from patients with stable evolution (P > 0.05). The serum levels of IL-6 and sIL-6R in acute and chronic rejection were higher than in the controls (P < 0.05). No differences in IL-6 levels were observed between the stable evolution and the control groups (P > 0.05). The levels of sIL-6R were higher in stable evolution patients than in the controls (P < 0.05) and no differences were observed between the chronic and stable evolution patients (P > 0.05). IL-6 decreased in patients with a favourable evolution, increased in those with an increased renal dysfunction and was maintained when the renal dysfunction was not modified. These results suggest that gammadelta T cells could participate in renal allograft maintenance and that IL-6 but not sIL-6R serum levels may provide a prognostic marker for measuring the evolution of kidney allograft. 相似文献
