目的探讨多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者外周血中辅助性T细胞17(Thl7)和CD4+CD25+Foxp3+渊节性T细胞(Treg细胞)比率的平衡关系及其在MM发病机制中的作用。方法70例MM患者分为初发组30例,平台期组23例,复发/难治组17例,以20名健康体检者为正常对照组。流式细胞术检测MM患者和正常对照者外周血中T细胞亚群及Thl7和Treg细胞占CD4+T细胞的比率。结果初发组及复发,难治组患者外周I血Thl7细胞的比率分别为(1.62±0.65)%和(1.45±0.51)%,与正常对照组[(0.72±0,33)%]及平台期组[(0.74±0.29)%]比较,均明显增高(P值均〈0.05);Treg细胞比率分别为(0.55±0.23)%和(0.82±0.54)%,与正常对照组[(2.33±0.90)%]及平台期组[(1.69±0.70)%]比较,明显减低(P值均〈O.05),Thl7/Treg细胞比值明显增高(P值均〈0.05);平台期患者CD3+CD4+T细胞以及Thl7细胞比率与正常对照组比较差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05),Treg细胞比率明显低于正常对照组,Thl7/Treg细胞比值明冠高于正常对照组。结论MM患者外周【衄T细胞亚群紊乱以CD4+T细胞减少为主,MM患者体内存在Thl7细胞比率升高和Treg细胞比率降低所致的Thl7/Treg细胞比例失衡,随疾病稳定而趋于正常,该免疫失衡可能在MM的发生、发展中起重要作用。
Objective To investigate the ratio of Thl7 cells and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in peripheral blood from patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and explore its pathological effects. Methods 70 MM patients were divided into three groups:newly diagnosed group (n=30), plateau stage group (n=23) and relapsed/refractory group (n=1 7). The controls consisted of 20 healthy donors. The frequencies of Thl7 and Treg cells were detected by flow cytometry. Results Compared with controls [ (0.72±0.33)% ] and plateau stage group [ (0.74±0.29)% ], frequencies of Thl 7 cells were higher in newly diagnosed group [ ( 1.62±0.65)% ] and relapsed/refractory group [ ( 1.45±0.51 )% ], respectively (P〈0.05). Compared with controls [ (2.33±0.90)%] and plateau stage group [ ( 1.69±0.70)%], frequencies of Treg cells were significantly lower in newly diagnosed group [ (0.55±0.23)% ] and relapsed/refractory group [ (0.82 ± 0.54) % ], respectively (P〈0.05). The ratios of Thl 7/Treg in newly diagnosed group and relapsed/refractory group were higher than those in controls (P〈0.05). There were no differences of the frequencies of CD3+CD4+T cells and Thl 7 cells between plateau stage group and controls. The frequencies of Treg cells were significantly lower in plateau stage group than that in controls (P〈0.05), and the ratio of ThlT/Treg was significantly higher in plateau stage group than that in controls (P〈0.05). Conclusion The remarkable abnormality of T cells subsets was reduction of CD4+ T cells in MM. Higher frequency of Thl7 and lower ratio of Treg could lead to imbalance of Thl7/Treg, which may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of MM.
