摘要
目的研究共刺激分子B7-H1在慢性乙型肝炎(chronic hepatitis B,CHB)肝组织中的表达及临床意义。方法采用免疫组织化学和半定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测30例CHB肝组织中B7-H1蛋白和mRNA的表达。结果30例CHB肝组织中18例(60%)肝组织中B7-H1表达阳性,11例正常人肝组织无表达。B7-H1分子的表达与肝组织炎症活动程度及纤维化进程密切相关。RT-PCR结果与其一致。结论B7-H1在慢性乙型肝炎感染者中明显增高,并与肝组织炎症活动程度相关,提示B7-H1在慢性乙型肝炎中担负着重要的免疫调节作用,可成为判断乙肝活动强弱的一个指标。
Objective To study the expression of B7-H1 mRNA and B7-H1 protein in liver tissue of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and investigate its relevance to the pathogenesis. Methods The B7-H1 mRNA and B7-H1 protein expression were determined in liver tissues from 30 CHB patients and 11 healthy controls using irnmunohistochemistry assay and real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Results B7-H1 expression was found to be 60% (18/30) of liver specimens in CHB patients, but none in 11 normal controls (P 〈0.05). B7-H1 expression was closely correlated with the histological activity grades and the progress of hepatic fibrosis. Conclusion B7-H1 is increased in CHB patients and closely associated with histological and inflammatory grades in liver, suggesting that B7-H1 may play an active role in hepatitis B virus infection.
