摘要
目的 探讨艾滋病患者抗反转录病毒治疗(ART)后外周血Th22、Th17、Th1和Treg的变化及其意义.方法 通过流式细胞仪检测40例艾滋病患者ART前及治疗后3个月外周血Th22、Th17、Th1、Treg表达情况.同时选取30名健康人作为对照.组间比较先行方差齐性检验,再行配对t检验,相关性分析采用Spearman rank检验.结果 治疗前艾滋病患者外周血Th22、Th17和Th1均低于健康对照者,分别为(0.59±0.47)%比(1.65±0.56)% (t=8.544,P<0.01)、(4.46±1.84)%比(6.98±1.86)%(t=5.619,P<0.01)和(16.75±6.72)%比(22.77±6.87)%(t=5.311,P<0.01).治疗3个月后,Th22、Th17分别为(1.60±1.10)%(t=5.268,P<0.01)和(6.33±2.64)%(t=3.663,P<0.01),与治疗前比较差异有统计学意义,与健康对照者比较,差异无统计学意义(t值分别为1.783、1.143,均P>0.05);而Th1治疗前后无显著变化,仍低于健康对照者.治疗前艾滋病患者外周血Treg高于健康对照者,为(10.76±3.76)%比(7.01±1.88)%,差异有统计学意义(t=5.003,P<0.01);治疗2个月时降为(9.22±2.56)%,治疗3个月时降为(8.57±2.36)%,但仍高于健康对照者(t=2.984,P=0.004).治疗前艾滋病患者外周血Th22/Treg、Th17/Treg、Th1/Treg的比值均显著低于健康对照者,分别为0.05±0.03比0.25±0.10(t=11.69,P<0.01)、0.46±0.27比1.07±0.42(t=7.728,P<0.01)和1.56±0.89比3.37±1.02(t=7.052,P<0.01).治疗3个月时Th22/Treg、Th17/Treg、Th1/Treg的比值分别为0.17±0.10(t=6.852,P<0.01)、0.81±0.46(t=4.253,P<0.01)和2.31±1.27(t=3.030,P<0.01),与治疗前比较差异有统计学意义.相关性分析显示艾滋病患者外周血Th17/Treg比值与CD4+T淋巴细胞呈正相关(r=0.312 5,P=0.049 6),与HIV RNA呈显著负相关(r=-0.474 7,P=0.002 0).Th1/Treg比值与CD4+T淋巴细胞呈正相关(r=0.333 5,P=0.035 5).结论 艾滋病患者Th22、Th17、Th1与Treg免疫与CD4+T淋巴细胞密切相关,ART可部分恢复免疫功能.
Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of helper T cells (Th)22,Th17,Th1 and regulatory T cells (Treg) in the peripheral blood before and after antiretroviral treatment (ART) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infected patients.Methods Forty HIV-infected patients were recruited into this study,and 30 healthy subjects were recruited as controls.Peripheral blood of the patients was collected at baseline and after 3 months of ART treatment.The frequencies of Th22,Th17,Th1 and Treg were detected by flow cytometry.Tests for homogeneity of variance and paired t test for comparison was adopted.Spearman rank test was used for correlation analysis.Results The frequencies of peripheral Th22,Th17,Th1 and Treg from HIV-infected patients before treatment were significantly decreased compared to the healthy controls ([0.59± 0.47] % vs [1.65 ± 0.56] % [t =8.544,P<0.01],[4.46±1.84]% vs [6.98±1.86]%[t=5.619,P<0.01],and [16.75±6.72]% vs [22.77±6.87]%; [t=5.311,P<0.01].The frequencies of peripheral Th22 and Th17 after 3 months of treatment were significantly higher than those at baseline ([1.60± 1.10] % [t=5.268,P<0.01] and [6.33±2.64]% [t=3.663,P<0.01] and no difference from those of healthy controls (t=1.783 and 1.143,respectively; both P>0.05).However,the Th1 frequency showed no difference compared to the baseline.The frequency of Treg in the HIV infected patients was significantly increased compared with the healthy controls ([10.76±3.76]% vs [7.01±1.88]%,t=5.003,P<0.01).However,it gradually decreased along with the ART treatment ([9.22±2.56]% after 2 months; [8.57± 2.36]% after 3 months),which was still higher than that of healthy controls (t=2.984,P=0.004).The ratios of Th22/Treg,Th17/Treg and Th1/Treg of the HIV-infected patients were significantly decreased in comparison with the healthy controls (0.05±0.03 vs 0.25±0.10,t=11.69,P<0.01; 0.46 ± 0.27 vs 1.07±0.42,t=7.728,P<0.01; 1.56±0.89 vs 3.37± 1.02,t=7.052,P<0.01),and those were significantly increased after 3 months of treatment (0.17±0.10[t=6.852,P<0.01],0.81±0.46[t=4.253,P<0.01] and 2.31±1.27[t=3.030,P<0.01]).Correlation analysis showed that the ratio of Th17/Treg of the HIV-infected patients was positively correlated with the peripheral CD4+ T cell count (r=0.312 5,P=0.049 6),and negatively correlated with HIV RNA viral load (r=-0.474 7,P=0.002 0).The ratio of Th1/Treg of the HIV-infected patients was positively correlated with the peripheral CD4+ T cell count (r=0.333 5,P=0.035 5).Conclusions Th22,Th17,Th1 and Treg cells in the peripheral blood of HIV-infected patients are closely related to CD4+ T cell count.ART can partially recover immune imbalance,and help to rebuild immune function of HIV-infected patients.
