 目的 研究慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)患者外周血辅助性T细胞17(Th17)以及细胞因子信号转导抑制因子3(SOCS3) mRNA的表达状况,探索CHB患者SOCS3 mRNA表达与Th17的关系。方法 选取2021年2—8月于某院门诊就诊的30例CHB患者为研究对象,并选取同期正常体检者15例为对照组。采用流式细胞术(FCM)检测外周血Th17细胞频数,酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测血清细胞因子IL-17A和IL-23表达水平,实时荧光定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)法测定外周血SOCS3、维甲酸相关孤儿核受体γt (RORγt) mRNA表达水平,并比较两组患者的检测结果。结果 CHB患者外周血Th17细胞频数及其效应分子IL-17A、IL-23表达水平高于对照组(均P＜0.05),Th17细胞频数、IL-17A与HBV DNA水平之间存在正相关(r值分别为0.570、0.563,均P＜0.005)。CHB患者外周血SOCS3、RORγt mRNA表达水平高于对照组(均P＜0.05),两者与HBV DNA水平正相关(r值分别为0.662、0.561,均P＜0.05)。CHB患者SOCS3 mRNA与RORγt mRNA、Th17细胞频数、IL-17A之间存在正相关(r值分别为0.552、0.626、0.826,均P＜0.05)。结论 CHB患者外周血SOCS3 mRNA的异常高表达,可能通过调节RORγt mRNA的表达来影响Th17的分化及其效应分子的分泌。

Intracellular production of IL-2, IL-4 and IFN-γ by peripheral blood CD3+ cells in intermittent allergic rhinitis

Background: Allergic inflammation is mainly driven by type 2 T helper cells. The aim was to assess the changes in production of type 1 and 2 cytokines by CD3⁺ T cells dependent on natural exposure to allergens in subjects with intermittent allergic rhinitis (IAR) and in non-atopic subjects.Material: A total of 13 patients with IAR and 13 healthy non-atopics were recruited into the study. 11 patients with IAR were examined during the grass pollen season and 11 patients outside the season, 9 of them were assessed on both occasions.Methods: A flow cytometric assessment of intracellular expression of IL-2, IL-4 and IFN- by CD3⁺ cells was performed. For statistical analysis non-parametric tests were used.Results: A tendency to decreased production of IL-4 outside the season was observed (6.94% [3.42–13.33] in season vs. 2.06% [0.7–3.6] out of season). The production of IL-4 was higher in the rhinitic group in the season than in the control group (1.93% [1.07–4.97], p = 0.0034) and production of IL-2 was higher both in and outside the season (9.1% [3.94–15.09] and 10.0% [4.79–25.35] vs. 3.64% (2.64–5.03), p = 0.037 and 0.045, respectively). IL-4/IL-2 and IL-4/IFN- ratios were higher in the IAR group in the season than outside the season.Conclusion: A tendency towards a switch from a predominant type 2 response during natural allergen exposure to its suppression outside the season was found, together with a stable type 1 response.Received 22 July 2004; returned for revision 27 August 2004; accepted by M.

Cytokine regulation of Group II phospholipase A2 expression in glomerular mesangial cells

Phospholipase A₂ (PLA₂) is believed to play an essential role in inflammatory processes by releasing arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids for synthesis of important lipid mediators, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes and platelet activating factor.We have used glomerular mesangial cells as a model system to study the regulation of PLA₂ under inflammatory conditions. Potent pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 1 (IL-1) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF), as well as agents that increase cellular cAMP levels have been found to increase Group II PLA₂ gene expression in a time- and dose-dependent manner.

Immunization with excretory-secretory molecules of intestinal nematodes induces antigen-specific protective memory Th2 cell responses

Parasitic nematodes infect more than 1 billion people in the global south. The development of effective antihelminthic vaccines is a crucial tool for their future elimination. Protective immune responses to nematodes depend on Gata3⁺ Th2 cells, which can also be induced by nematode-released products. Whether these nematode products induce antigen-specific long-lived memory T cells and thereby confer protection against a challenge infection is not known yet. Hence, we set out to characterize the formation of memory Th2 cells induced by immunization with Heligmosomoides polygyrus excretory-secretory (HES) products, infection-induced versus immunization-induced recall responses to a challenge infection, and whether HES-induced memory T cells show protective properties following adoptive transfer. Our results show that 8 weeks postimmunization, HES induces long-lived functional memory Th2 cells at the site of immunization in the peritoneal cavity. Following a H. polygyrus challenge infection, HES-immunized mice display MHC-II-dependent antigen-specific Th2 cytokine responses in the gut-draining lymph nodes, comparable to those induced by a prior natural infection. Moreover, adoptive transfer of sorted memory CD4⁺ T cells from HES-immunized donors reduces female worm fecundity following a challenge H. polygyrus infection in recipient mice, highlighting a protective role for immunization-induced memory T cells.
