摘要
目的探讨老年人CD71+CD235a+有核红细胞的免疫功能特点及可能涉及的机制。方法分别取健康老年人及青年人外周血,通过流式细胞仪测定各组CD71+CD235a+有核红细胞占外周血单个核细胞(PBMc)的比例;通过流式分选法分选获得各组有核红细胞,磁珠分选法获得T细胞,T细胞增殖实验分3组进行:老年组:老年有核红细胞+经羟基荧光素-醋酸盐琥珀酰亚胺脂(CFSE)染色的T细胞;青年组:青年人有核红细胞+经CFSE染色的T细胞;对照组:经CFSE染色的T细胞;实时荧光定量PCR法比较青年组及老年组有核红细胞表达免疫抑制性细胞因子的差异。结果(1)老年人有核红细胞占PBMC比例高于青年人[(9.93±2.95)%和(1.96±1.16)%,t=3.37,P〈0.001];(2)老年组有核红细胞能显著抑制T细胞的增殖(t=2.91,P〈0.05),而青年组并没有这一现象(t=0.387,P〉0.05);(3)与青年组相比,老年组有核红细胞能分泌更多量的精氨酸酶(Arg)-2(t=9.04,P〈0.01)、白细胞介素(IL)-1β、IL-6和转化生长因子(TGF)-β(t=4.51、5.46、6.92,均P〈0.05)。结论老年人外周血有核红细胞占外周血单个核细胞比例较青年人高;老年人外周血有核红细胞可能通过释放更多量的Arg-2,IL-1β,IL-6和TGF-β来抑制T细胞的增殖,从而发挥免疫抑制的作用。
Objective To explore the immune property and possible mechanism of the CD71+ CD235a+ nucleated erythroid cells from peripheral blood in elderly, as compared with those of healthy young. Methods Peripheral blood obtained by venipuncture from healthy young(n=59,mean age= 28 years)and elderly(n= 78, mean age= 68 years)donors were measured by flow cytometry to evaluate the frequency of the CD71+ CD235a+ cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). In vitro assays,CD71+ CD235a+ cells were sorted by flow eytometry and T cells were sorted using CD4+ T cell isolation kit,then the T cell proliferation assays were conducted by following groups:T cell + CFSE group;T cell +CFSE co-cultured with CD71+ CD235a+ cells from the young donors;T cell + CFSE co-cultured with CD71+ CD235a+ cells from the older donors. Real-time PCR were used to identify the expression of the immune cytokine secreted by CD71+ CD235a+ cells. Results (1)the results showed a significant increase in the percentage of CD71+ CD235a+ cells in the elderly compared with the young [(9.93± 2.95)% vs (1.96± 1. 16 )% , t = 3.37, P〈 0. 001]; (2)the CD71+ CD235a+ cells from the older donors could suppress the proliferation of the T cells (t = 2.91, P〈0.05)while from the young group we could not observe this phenomenon(t= 0. 387, P〉0.05). (3)The results of Real-time PCR revealed that, compared with CD71+ CD235a+ cells from the young, CD71+ CD235a+ cells from the elderly expressed higher levels of Arg-2(t= 9.04,P〈0.01),IL-1β ,IL-6 and TGF-β(t= 4.51,5.46, 6.92,all P〈0.05). Conclusions There are higher frequencies of CD71+ CD235a+ cells in aged samples than the young. And the CD71+CD235a cells from the elderly could secrete more Arg-2, IL- 1β,IL-6 and TGF-β to suppress the T cell proliferation.
