Quantity chang and function of Th17 cells in patients with immune thrombocytopenia
(Department of Hematology, General Hospital, Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin 300052, China)
Objective: To study the quantity, related functional molecule level of Th17 cells and its correlation with clinical parameters in patients with immune thrombocytopenia, and to explore the role of Th17 cells in the immune pathogenesis. Methods: Forty patients were divided into two groups, including 26 ITP patients in activity,14 patients in remission.There were 14 normal controls.The ratio of IL-23R+CD4+/ CD4+ cells in bone marrow of patients were measured with flow cytometry , and the level of IL-17, IL-23 in bone marrow supernatant was obtained using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay while the relative expression levels of IL-17 mRNA in bone marrow with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction technique. The correlation analysis on clinical indicators of ITP patients was made. Results: The ratio of IL-23R+CD4+/CD4+cells[(4.933±6.162)%], the level of IL-17 [(13.434±7.189)ng/L], IL-23[(56.930±58.512)ng/L] and IL-17 mRNA[0.921±0.196] in bone marrow with ITP patients were significantly higher than those of normal controls[(0.897±0.803)%],[(4.134±2.879 ng/L],[(17.841±11.033)ng/L],[0.749±0.136] (P<0.05). These four indicators in active ITP patients[(6.699±7.008)%], [(16.021±7.114) ng/L],[(72.474±64.835) ng/L],[0.967±0.186] were significantly higher than those in remission[(1.656±1.286)%],[(7.972±3.326) ng/L],[(24.114±17.654) ng/L)],[0.801±0.163] (P<0.05). The above parameters of ITP patients are correlated with clinical indicators. Conclusion: Th17 cells are very active with increased numbers in ITP patients , which plays an important role in the immune pathogenesis of ITP.
