摘要: 目的 检测类风湿关节炎(rheumatoid arthritis,RA)患者外周血CD19+CD24hiCD38hi调节性B细胞(regulatory B cells,Bregs)比例及功能的变化情况,初步探讨Bregs在RA发病中的作用。 方法 采用流式细胞染色方法检测健康对照组及RA患者外周血单核细胞(peripheral blood mononuclear cell,PBMC)中CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B细胞和CD4 T细胞比例变化情况;活细胞荧光染料CFSE染色方法检测CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B细胞对Nave CD4 T细胞增殖能力的影响;同时检测CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B细胞分泌IL-10的能力及对CD4 T细胞分泌IFN-γ能力的影响。 结果 与健康对照组相比,RA患者外周血CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B细胞比例显著降低,而CD4 T细胞比例显著升高,且随着病情严重程度升高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。功能研究显示,RA患者外周血CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B细胞分泌IL-10水平显著降低(P<0.01),且其抑制Nave CD4 T细胞增殖及分泌IFN-γ的能力均显著降低(P<0.01)。 结论 RA患者外周血CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B细胞分泌IL-10能力下降,导致免疫抑制功能降低,进而引起CD4 T细胞比例升高和IFN-γ水平升高,影响RA病情进展。Abstract: Objective To investigate the role of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi regulatory B (Breg) cells in the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the proportion and function of Breg cells were detected in the peripheral blood of RA patients. Methods Flow cytometry staining were used to detect the percentage of peripheral blood CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B cells and CD4 T cells from the healthy controls and RA patients;and the effects of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B cells on the proliferative capacity of Nave CD4 T cells were detected by the live cell fluorescence dye CFSE labeling assay.The effects of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B cells on the ability to secret IFN-γ of CD4 T cells and the ability to secret IL-10 of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B cells were also be detected. Results The proportion of the CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B cells in the peripheral blood in RA patients was significantly decreased compared with the healthy group controls.However,the proportion of CD4 T cells in the RA patients was higher than those in healthy controls,and the differences were more significant with the progression of RA(P<0.05).Functional studies demonstrate that the ability to secret IL-10 of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B cells was lower in the RA patients(P<0.01).Moreover,the ability to inhibit the proliferation and secretion capacity of Nave CD4 T cells was greatly decreased compared with healthy controls(P<0.01). Conclusion The ability to secrete IL-10 of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B cells in the peripheral blood is reduced in the RA patients,leading to the impairment of the function of the immune suppression,and the increased proportion of CD4 T cells in the peripheral blood with the rised levels of IFN-γ,and accelerate the progression of RA patients.
