摘要: 目的 探讨糖皮质激素对系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者CD4+,CDB+T淋巴细胞Caspase-3及肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体((TRAIL)受体基因表达的影响.方法 免疫磁珠法分离20例糖皮质激素治疗前后SLE患者及10例正常人对照的外周血CD4+,CD8+T淋巴细胞,半定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)分析其Caspase-3及TRAIL受体mRNA的表达.结果 SLE患者治疗后CD4+T淋巴细胞TRAIL-R1表达显著降低(P<0.05);SLE患者治疗前后CD8+T细胞Caspase-3的表达显著高于正常人对照(P值分别<0.01和<0.05);SLE患者治疗前CD8+T细胞TRAIL-R2的表达显著高于正常人对照(P<0.05).结论 通过调节SLE患者T细胞TRAIL受体表达以抑制其凋亡可能是糖皮质激素治疗SLE的机制之一.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of glucocorticoid therapy on the gene expression of Caspase-3 and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL)receptors in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). Methods Peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of 20 SLE patients before and after prednisone therapy and 10 healthy volunteers were isolated with a magnetic cell sorting system(MACS).The expression of Caspase-3 and TRAIL receptors mRNA in the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were detected by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results The TRAIL-Rl expression in CD4+ T cells of SLE patients significantly declined after therapy(P<0.05).The Caspase-3 expression of CD8+ T cells in SLE patients before and after therapy was significantly higher than that in healthy controls(P<0.01, P<0.05, respectively).The CD8+ T cells from SLE patients before therapy showed significantly increased expression of TRAIL-R2 compared with those from healthy volunteers(P<0.05). Conclusion These findings suggest that inhibiting T cell apoptosis through regulation of the expression of TRAIL receptors may be one of the mechanisms of glucocorticoid for treatment of SLR.
