胎盘源间充质干细胞对T淋巴细胞体外增殖的影响

目的从人胎盘组织中分离培养获得间充质干细胞（mesenchymal stem cells,MSCs）,并进一步研究其对T淋巴细胞体外增殖的影响。方法首先从胎盘组织中分离培养胎盘间充质干细胞（PMSCs）,在体外观测其形态,并通过细胞表面抗原表达、分化潜能等特征进行鉴定;然后将体外分离培养扩增的PMSCs,按照不同比例加入双向混合淋巴细胞培养体系（mixed lymphocyte reaction,MLR）中,共同培养6d后,测定T淋巴细胞的增殖。结果从人胎盘组织中分离培养获得问充质干细胞,具有与骨髓间充质于细胞（BMSCs）极为相似的细胞形态及细胞表面标志,表达CD29、CD44和CD105,不表达CD34、CD45、CD106和HLA—DR,并且还具有与BMSCs相似的跨胚层分化能力,能在一定条件下被诱导分化出神经元样细胞。PMSCs与同种异体混合淋巴细胞共同培养能抑制T淋巴细胞的体外增殖。结论胎盘组织是MSCs的有效来源,PMSCs具有与BMSCs相似的生物学特性及免疫调节机制。它为问充质干细胞的研究提供了又一重要的细胞来源。     

骨髓间充质干细胞的体外扩增及其对T淋巴细胞产生IFN-γ和IL-10的影响

为了探讨骨髓间充质干细胞(mesenchymal stem cells,MSC)对T淋巴细胞分泌功能的免疫调节作用,从人骨髓分离培养MSC,通过其形态的均一性及流式细胞术检测表面标志以鉴定其纯度;从外周血分离获得T淋巴细胞,再将MSC分别以不同数量加入到植物血凝素(PHA)刺激的外周血T淋巴细胞和混合淋巴细胞反应(MLR)培养体系及不同浓度MSC培养上清加入混合淋巴细胞反应培养体系共培养后,分别收集上清,ELISA检测IFN-γ和IL-10水平,发现不同细胞数量的MSC对T细胞分泌细胞因子IFN-γ均有抑制,同时促进IL-10分泌,且其抑制和促进均呈剂量依赖性;MSC的不同上清浓度对IFN-γ抑制亦呈浓度依赖性,但未发现对IL-10分泌的影响。表明骨髓MSC在体外可抑制T细胞分泌IFN-γ、促进分泌IL-10,起到免疫调节作用。     

间充质干细胞体外对ITP患者CD4+CD25+T细胞影响

目的:体外观察间充质干细胞(MSCs)对免疫性血小板减少症(ITP)患者CD4+ CD25+T细胞比例的影响.方法:采用Ficoll分离骨髓单个核细胞,通过体外培养,扩增出MSCs,通过Ficoll分离法和尼龙棉柱法获取正常人及ITP患者外周血T淋巴细胞,并应用流式细胞术检测T细胞中CD4+ CD25+T细胞比例;MSCs经丝裂霉素MMC处理后按不同数量(2×103、1×104、5×104个细胞/孔)接种培养板作为基底层细胞,然后分别接种体外分离纯化的异体ITP及正常人T淋巴细胞,于2、4、6天后各自收集T淋巴细胞及培养上清,用流式细胞术检测接种于骨髓MSCs的ITP患者CD4+ CD25+T细胞比例.结果:ITP患者外周血CD4+ CD25+T细胞数量及CD4+ CD25+/CD4+比值均明显低于正常对照组(P＜0.05);在PHA作用下,数量＞1×104的骨髓MSCs与T淋巴细胞共培养4天后,与正常对照组相比,MSCs可显著上调ITP患者及正常人T淋巴细胞中CD4+ CD25+T淋巴细胞比例及CD4+ CD25 +/CD4+比值(P＜0.05),且随MSCs量的增加,作用增强(P＜0.05).体外骨髓MSCs对ITP患者CD4+ CD25+T淋巴细胞具有上调作用,以上这种机制可使ITP患者的细胞因子及CD4+ CD25+T淋巴细胞逐渐接近于正常人但仍达不到正常人水平(P＜0.05).结论:MSCs在体外可能通过上调CD4+ CD25+调节性T细胞,进而诱导ITP患者免疫耐受形成.     

间充质干细胞对再生障碍性贫血患者造血支持及T淋巴细胞分泌功能的影响

BACKGROUND: Recently, the role of mesenchymal stem cells in aplastic anemia has been widely explored. However, its underlying mechanism remains unclearly.OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of umbilical cord blood and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on hematopoietic support and secretory function of T lymphocytes in patients with aplastic anemia.METHODS:Cord blood and bone marrow samples from 48 cases of aplastic anemia and 48 healthy lying-in women to isolate mesenchymal stem cells using flow cytometry. Mesenchymal stem cells from the cord blood and bone marrow were respectively co-cultured with cord blood mononuclear cells to count burst forming units-erythroid and colony forming units-granulocyte/macrophage. Mesenchymal stem cells were co-cultured with T lymphocytes from aplastic anemia patients undergoing phytohemagglutinin stimulation, and ELISA was used to detect interleukin-2, interleukin-4 and interferon-γ levels secreted from T lymphocytes.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The number of burst forming units-erythroid and colony forming units-granulocyte/macrophage significantly increased in normal bone marrow or umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells co-cultured with cord blood mononuclear cells (P < 0.05), but reduced remarkably in umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells from aplastic anemia patients co-cultured with cord blood mononuclear cells (P < 0.05). Levels of interleukin-2, interleukin-4 and interferon-γ from T lymphocytes were inhibited significantly after co-culture with normal bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells compared with phytohemagglutinin-induced T lymphocytes (P < 0.05). There was a similar inhibitory effect after co-culture with normal umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells. There was a significantly reduction in the capacity of inhibiting interleukin-2, interleukin-4 and interferon-γ levels from T lymphocytes after co-culture with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from aplastic anemia patients (P < 0.05). Aplastic anemia patients show some functional defects in their bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells that have a weaker inhibitory role than normal bone marrow or umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells in the hematopoietic support and secretory function of T lymphocytes. These findings indicate that mesenchymal stem cells from aplastic anemia patients can influence the pathological progress through weakening hematopoietic support and secretory function of T lymphocytes.  中国组织工程研究杂志出版内容重点：干细胞;骨髓干细胞;造血干细胞;脂肪干细胞;肿瘤干细胞;胚胎干细胞;脐带脐血干细胞;干细胞诱导;干细胞分化;组织工程     

人骨髓间充质干细胞及条件培养液对异体T淋巴细胞分泌功能的影响

背景：骨髓间充质干细胞具有支持造血、多向分化及免疫调节作用,后者在异基因造血干细胞移植尤其是HLA半相合造血干细胞移植后移植物抗宿主病中具有潜在的应用价值,但其免疫调节作用的机制不清。 目的：体外观察人骨髓间充质干细胞及其条件培养液对异体外周血T淋巴细胞及其分泌功能的影响。 方法：从人骨髓中分离培养骨髓间充质干细胞,反复贴壁进行纯化;用尼龙棉柱法纯化异体外周血T淋巴细胞。观察骨髓间充质干细胞及其条件培养液体对植物血凝素刺激下T淋巴细胞增殖的影响,以ELISA方法检测γ-干扰素、白细胞介素4水平变化。 结果与结论：骨髓间充质干细胞及其条件培养液体对植物血凝素诱导的T淋巴细胞增殖均有抑制作用,并呈剂量和浓度依赖性。ELISA结果表明,骨髓间充质干细胞及其条件培养液抑制T淋巴细胞γ-干扰素的分泌;骨髓间充质干细胞可促进白细胞介素4的分泌,但其条件培养液对白细胞介素4的分泌无影响。提示骨髓间充质干细胞及其条件培养液对异体外周血T淋巴细胞的增殖有抑制作用,其作用可能与其影响T淋巴细胞分泌γ-干扰素和白细胞介素4有关。     

人脐血间充质干细胞对T淋巴细胞旁分泌的免疫调节作用

背景：相关研究表明脐血间充质干细胞具有一定的免疫调节作用,但具体机制不详。 目的：观察脐血源间充质干细胞通过旁分泌机制对T淋巴细胞增殖的影响。 方法：分离正常分娩产妇脐血间充质干细胞和健康志愿者外周血T淋巴细胞,按不同比例建立脐血间充质干细胞与T淋巴细胞非接触共培养体系,以单独培养T淋巴细胞作为对照组。 结果与结论：脐血间充质干细胞形态学呈现成纤维梭型细胞样,呈旋涡状团集生长。流式细胞仪检测脐血间充质干细胞表面标记物：CD29(+),CD44(+),CD34(-),CD45(-),HLA-DR(-);与对照组相比,共培养组可明显抑制植物血凝素刺激T淋巴细胞的增殖作用(P < 0.05),且呈剂量依赖性;ElISA法检测共培养组分泌的白细胞介素10水平较对照组明显升高(P < 0.05);中和试验后脐血间充质干细胞对T淋巴细胞增殖的抑制作用明显减弱。结果说明脐血间充质干细胞可明显抑制异体外周血T淋巴细胞的增殖,可能是通过旁分泌白细胞介素10达到负向免疫调节作用。     

雌激素缺乏致骨质疏松症小鼠骨髓间充质干细胞通过分泌MCP-1影响T淋巴细胞趋化及凋亡

目的探讨卵巢摘除术(OVX)所致雌激素缺乏骨质疏松小鼠骨髓间充质干细胞(BMSC)与假手术(sham)组BMSC单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(MCP-1)表达的改变,并研究其对诱导T淋巴细胞趋化及凋亡的组间差异,揭示BMSC在骨质疏松症发生中的可能作用。方法建立OVX模型及sham模型,micro-CT检测证明动物模型建立成功。ELISA检测OVX组及sham组BMSC MCP-1的表达,并对OVX组来源BMSC给予梯度浓度雌激素,观察不同浓度雌激素作用下BMSC表达MCP-1的变化。两组来源BMSC分别与T淋巴细胞共培养后,检测不同组间BMSC诱导T淋巴细胞趋化能力及凋亡的改变,同时观察外源性雌激素对这一改变的扭转作用。结果在雌激素缺乏所致骨质疏松症中,BMSC MCP-1表达能力下降,同时其诱导T淋巴细胞趋化及凋亡能力随之下降。当外源性给予一定浓度雌激素后,该下降趋势得到一定程度的扭转。结论 BMSC可能通过自身MCP-1的表达从而调控T淋巴细胞的趋化及凋亡,其免疫调节特性使其在骨质疏松症发生发展中起重要作用。

Dose-response relationship in the treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura with intravenous immunoglobulin

Summary The dose-response relationship in the intravenous immunoglobulin treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura was studied in 20 adult patients in a multicenter prospective crossover trial. The rate of response increases from 3 out of 11 (27%) to 6 out of 10 treatment periods (60%) by raising the 7S-IgG dose given on 5 consecutive days from 164.50±24.55 to 359.65±58.62 mg/kg body weight. The onset and duration of response as well as the peak platelet count were found to be independent of the doses. A long-term benefit induced by intravenous immunoglobulin treatment could be achieved in 2 out of 14 patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.Abbreviations IgG Immunoglobulin G - ITP Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura     

妊娠期特发性血小板减少性紫癜的诊断及治疗方式选择

目的 探讨妊娠期特发性血小板减少性紫癜(GITP)的临床及实验室特点,以提高这种疾病的诊断和治疗水平.方法 回顾性采集了44例GITP患者的诊断治疗经过及相关临床和实验室资料,以同期住院的148例妊娠期血小板减少症(GT),18例妊娠高血压病相关的血小板减少(GHT)以及同一年龄段的42例女性非妊娠ITP患者为对照,进行对比分析和统计学处理.结果 与GT组患者相比,GITP患者发病较早,临床出血倾向较重,初发血小板和病程中最低血小板计数均明显低于前者.GITP组患者血小板相关免疫球蛋白(PAIgG)阳性率高于GT和GHT组.GITP组剖宫产率高于GT组,与GHT组相当.3组患者术中和产后出血的发生率及新生儿Apgar评分异常的比例无显著性差异.GITP组新生儿体重与其他两组比较,差异不显著,而GHT组新生儿体重明显低于GT组.GITP组新生儿血小板减少的发生率高于其它两组,但差别无统计学意叉.GT和GHT孕妇分娩后,血小板数目多可恢复正常.GITP组分娩后也有改善,但血小板变化不如其他两组显著,常需要进一步治疗.和单纯ITP患者相比,GITP患者病情较轻,对糖皮质激素的反应率差别不大.结论 GITP患者病情较GT为重,但处理适当,对母体及新生儿影响不大.因此应早期诊断和密切监测.妊娠本身不会加重ITP 病情,但分娩也不会明显减轻症状,GITP患者分娩后多需要进一步治疗.     

BAFF and BAFF-R of peripheral blood and spleen mononuclear cells in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

BAFF (B-cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family) is an essential component of B-cell homeostasis, and is required for the normal survival and development of B cells. To further explore the role of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), BAFF/BAFF-R (one of receptors of BAFF) expression levels were determined and the correlation between the clinical parameters and the BAFF expression levels was analyzed. A total of 57 patients with ITP were enrolled and 25 age and sex-matched healthy volunteers served as controls. Serum was obtained from 41 patients with ITP and 22 healthy volunteers and was analyzed with a commercial human soluble BAFF (sBAFF) ELISA kit. BAFF and BAFF-R mRNA expression of peripheral blood (PB) (n = 42) and splenocytes (SP) (n = 8) mononuclear cells (MNC) were determined by real-time quantitative PCR. The SPMNC of normal controls came from three hereditary spherocytosis patients who underwent splenectomy. The untreated patients with ITP had higher serum BAFF levels (Median 1430 pg/ml, Range: 534–5787 pg/ml) than those of normal controls (Median 1120 pg/ml, Range: 640–2376 pg/ml, p = 0.006) and treated ITP group (Median 662 pg/ml, Range 267–1265 pg/ml, p = 0.000). On the other hand, serum BAFF levels of treated patients with ITP were lower than those of normal controls (p = 0.001). There was a weak correlation (the Pearson correlation coefficient is ? 0.242) between platelet count and BAFF (p = 0.064). However, BAFF levels did not correlate with platelet associated immunoglobulin or immunoglobulin levels. Moreover, the serum BAFF levels were not statistically different between acute and chronic ITP (p = 0.841). PBMNC of ITP had higher BAFF but not BAFF-R mRNA expression than that of normal controls. BAFF mRNA expression of SPMNC had a positive correlation with BAFF-R in ITP patients but not in PBMNC of normal controls and untreated ITP patients. The BAFF-R mRNA expression of SPMNC was shown to be 15.29 times higher than that of PBMNC in ITP. BAFF might contribute to autoimmunity and disease development in ITP. However, BAFF serum level must be carefully considered as a surrogate marker of disease activity in ITP.     

Perisinusoidal fibrosis of the liver in patients with thrombocytopenic purpura

Summary 10 patients with thrombocytopenic purpura (TP) underwent splenectomy. Eight of these patients had idiopathic TP (certain or probable). All had normal liver function tests. Liver histology of the surgical biopsy was normal with the exception of a non specific mild portal infiltration in 6 cases. On Sirius red staining the perisinusoidal network was normal in 3 cases, mildly or moderately increased in 5 cases and often associated with perivenular fibrosis. Collagen types I, III, IV, laminin and fibronectin were increased in the 8 biopsies tested. On semi-thin sections, numerous Kupffer cells were observed. Under the electron microscope, sinusoidal abnormalities were very similar in all 7 patients studied: numerous Kupffer cells containing abundant lysosomes, numerous collagen bundles in the Disse space, active endothelial cells, transformation of some perisinusoidal cells into cells with some of the characteristics of fibroblasts (increased RER) and myofibroblasts (peripheral condensations of the filamentous network), increased fragments of basement membrane-like material. In two cases there was an increase in the number of perisinusoidal cells loaded with lipids. The similarity of the lesions and the absence of other fibrogenic causes (except in 2 cases) suggest that TP may represent another group of diseases with perisinusoidal fibrosis. The aetiology of fibrosis remains unknown but platelet derived growth factor and activated macrophages may play a major role.     

Immunomodulatory effects of mesenchymal stem cells on leukocytes with emphasis on neutrophils

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a population of multipotent cells with the ability of expansion and plastic-adherence in vitro. MSCs can differentiate into chondrocytes, osteocytes and adipocytes; they lack co-stimulatory molecules and have small amount of MHC-I that makes no immunogenicity. These characteristics are empowering MSCs’ huge in vivo applications. In addition, MSCs possess the ability of regulating the immune responses in many diseases. Many studies have shown that MSCs have immunosuppressive as well as immunoenhancing properties such as inhibition of T-lymphocytes proliferation and cytokines production which lead to the balance of Th1 and Th2. Some other immunomodulatory features of MSCs are increasing suppressive capacity of T_reg, reducing activity of B-lymphocytes and immunoglobulins secretion, inhibition of dendritic cells maturation and antigen presenting capacity, and inhibition of NK-cells activity. MSCs also exert inhibitory effects on neutrophil apoptosis and reduce reactive oxygen species production. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the MSCs? effects on immune cells, especially neutrophils.
