摘要: 目的 探讨CD40及其配体(CD40L)在系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)发病机制中的作用及临床意义.方法 应用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测34例SLE患者外周血单一核细胞(PBMC)中CD40和CD40配体mRNA的表达水平.结果 活动期SLE患者PBMC中CD40配体的阳性表达率为88.24%(30/34),明显高于正常人对照组(50.00%,15/30),差异有非常显著性(P<0.01);活动期SLE患者PBMC中CD40配体mRNA表达的平均水平(0.6970±0.1214)亦明显高于正常人对照组(0.2684±0.0795),差异有非常显著性(P<0.01).活动期SLE患者PBMC中CD40的阳性表达率和CD40mRNA的表达水平与对照组相比差异均无显著性(P>0.05).结论 CD40配体的异常表达可能在SLE疾病活动和发展过程中起重要作用,检测SLE患者PBMC中CD40配体的表达水平可作为疾病的活动性指标之一.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the role of CD40 and CD40 ligand (CD40L)in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)and its clinical significance. Methods Applying RT-PCR technique to semiquantitatively analyze CD40 and CD40L mRNA expression in PBMC from 34 SLE patients. Results Compared with normal controls,the positive CD40L expression accounted for 88.24% of active SLE patients(P<0.001); the mean level of CD40L mRNA expression in active SLE group was markedly increased as well (P<0.0001). However,there were no statistical differences in positive rate of CD40 and the average level of CD40 mRNA between the two groups(P >0.05,both). Conclusions The abnormal expression of CD40L might play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE,and the level of CD40L might be used as one the indices for active SLE.
