The peripheral blood samples were collected from 29 healthy controls (normal control group) and 78 patients with asthma which included 30 patients in exacerbation group, 25 patients in persistent group, and 23 patients in remission group. By using flow cytometry and RT-PCR, the CD4^+CD25^+ Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA in PBMCs were detected. The CD4^+CD25^+ Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA in PBMCs of exacerbation and persistent groups were lower than that of remission and normal control groups (P〈0.05). Although the CD4^+CD25^+ Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA of remission group were also lower than that of normal control group, there was no significant difference between them (P〉0.05). As compared with persistent group, exacerbation group had lower CD4^+CD25^+ Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA (P〈0.05). It was indicated that the decrease of CD4^+CD25^+ Treg ratio and its function in PBMCs may be responsible for pathogenesis of asthma.展开更多
肿瘤的发生是通过多种途径引起机体免疫系统调节紊乱导致的,因此抗自身抗原的免疫反应保护机理可以使肿瘤细胞免于被自身免疫系统识别。而FOXP3作为CD4^+CD25^+调节T细胞(regulatory T cells,Tregs)表面的特征性标志,可以通过下调免疫...肿瘤的发生是通过多种途径引起机体免疫系统调节紊乱导致的,因此抗自身抗原的免疫反应保护机理可以使肿瘤细胞免于被自身免疫系统识别。而FOXP3作为CD4^+CD25^+调节T细胞(regulatory T cells,Tregs)表面的特征性标志,可以通过下调免疫活化细胞因子的表达和上调Tregs相关的细胞表面分子的表达赋予CD4^+CD25^+Tregs细胞免疫抑制功能,并有效抑制机体抗肿瘤免疫反应,参与肿瘤免疫逃逸。展开更多
