摘要
Th122细胞亚群是近年来新发现的一类CD4+细胞亚群,主要分泌白介素-22、白介素-13、白介素-26等细胞因子,而不产生干扰素-γ和白介素-4.其功能主要通过白介素-22来实现,可介导炎症反应、自身免疫性疾病、肿瘤等,在机体免疫调节、宿主防御及组织修复中发挥重要作用.最重要的是,Th22细胞还能参与细胞增生、分化及凋亡的调节过程.研究表明,多种自身免疫性疾病的白介素-22表达异常,提示Th22细胞与T细胞介导的自身免疫性疾病有关.
Th22 cells are a new subset of CD4+ T cells identified in recent years. They mainly secrete interleukin (IL)-22, IL-13 and IL-26, but not interferon-γ (IFN-γ) or IL-4, and exert their function mainly via IL-22. They can mediate inflammatory reactions, autoimmune diseases, tumors, etc, and play an important role in immune regulation, host defense and tissue repair. Most importantly, Th22 cells can modulate cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Studies have shown an abnormal expression of IL-22 in a variety of autoimmune diseases, hinting that Th22 cells are involved in T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.
