【摘要】 目的:探讨HCV感染者外周血中CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞的表达状况以及与疾病进程的相关性。方法:选取HCV感染者69例及健康对照23例,应用流式细胞术检测外周血中CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞的表达。结果:HCV感染组外周血中CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞占CD4+T细胞比例明显高于对照组(P<0.01);慢性感染组外周血CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞比例高于HCV无症状携带组(P<0.05);肝硬化组外周血CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞比例高于慢性感染组(P<0.05)。结论:HCV感染者外周血CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞水平与疾病进程具有相关性。

AbstractObjective:To investigate the expression of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in patients with hepatitis C and its relationship with progression of disease.Methods:Technique of flow cytometry was used to detect peripheral blood CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells of 69 patients with Hepatitis C and 23 controls.Results:The percentage of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells was significantly higher in patients with hepatitis C than those in healthy controls (P<0.01).The chronic hepatitis C group had a higher percentage of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells than that of asymptomatic carrier (P<0.05)and the group of patients with liver cirrhosis had a higher percentage of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells than that of chronic hepatitis C group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Peripheral blood CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells levels are correlated with the progression of HCV infection.

丙型肝炎呈世界性分布,全球约有超过1.7亿人感染丙型肝炎病毒(HCV),且70%~90%形成慢性感染[1],30%发展为进展性肝病,包括肝硬化或肝癌[2];我国HCV的感染率约为3.2%[3]。研究急性自限性HCV感染患者和猩猩表明,有效控制HCV感染需要一个持久、广泛的CD4+Th细胞和细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)反应,而慢性丙型肝炎患者的HCV特异性T细胞数量减少,对抗原刺激的增生能力显著降低[4]。近来研究显示,在HCV感染中能够诱导宿主上调表达一群CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞,这类抑制性T细胞群具有免疫抑制功能,主要分泌细胞因子IL10和TGFβ,激活后的CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞能
