Association of the expression of Th1/Th2 cytokines and lymphocyte subsets with clinical characteristics and outcomes in 207 Chinese children with Burkitt’s lymphoma

To the Editor:Burkitt’s lymphoma(BL)is the most common subtype of pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL),accounting for nearly 40%of cases.[1,2]The 5-year overall survival(OS)rate is nearly 90%owing to the use of existing standard chemotherapy regimens in conjunction with rituximab.[2]Approximately 25%patients with pediatric BL present with central nervous system(CNS)disease and a poor prognosis.[1]The significance of the expressions of T helper 1/T helper 2(Th1/Th2)cytokines and lymphocyte subsets in the occurrence,development,and prognosis of adult malignant lymphoma has been reported in the literature,but data on pediatric BL are limited.This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of cytokines and lymphocyte subset expression in patients with pediatric BL,identify the differences between the CNS-positive and CNS-negative groups,and determine the risk factors in the CNS-positive group.

Selenium Supplementation Alleviates Autoimmune Thyroiditis by Regulating Expression of Th1/Th2 Cytokines

Selenium （Se） is an essential trace element. Autoimmune thyroid diseases （AITD） are destructive inflammatory or anti-receptor autoimmune diseases characterized by reactivity to self-thyroid antigens. However, the effects of Se on the cytokines in AITD are still unclear. So we researched the role of Selenium （Se） and Thl/Th2 cytokine productions in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid diseases （AITD）.

Local Th1/Th2 Cytokine Expression in Experimental Murine Vaginal Candidiasis

In order to investigate the expression of Th1 and Th2 cytokines in the vaginal candidiasis caused by Candida, the fungal vaginitis model was established in female ICR mice by intravaginal inoculation of suspension of C. albicans after the animals were pretreated with estradiol. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） was used to detect the expression of IL-2, IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-β1 in the vagina in the mice of different groups at different time points after the beginning of the experiment. The average expression level of IL-2 mRNA in group D （estrogen-treated mice） was significantly higher than that in groups H （estrogen-untreated mice） and I （control group） on the day 2. The average expression level of IL-4 mRNA in group D was significantly higher than that in groups I and H on the day 5. The average expression level of IL-10 mRNA in group D was significantly higher than that in groups H and I from day 7 to 11. The average expression level of TGF-β1 mRNA in group D was significantly higher than that in groups H and I at all time points. It was concludes that the high-level expression of IL-2 mRNA during early infection was associated with clearance of mucosal C. albicans, and the high-level expression of IL-10 mRNA during late stage of the infection was related to susceptibility to infection. TGF-β1 may play a predominant role when the virtual absence of changes in other Th-type cytokines during infection.

Th1/Th2 cytokines and their genotypes as predictors of hepatitis B virus related hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), the predominant type of primary liver cancer, is one of the most serious lifethreatening malignancies, worldwide. In majority of the cases, HCC develops after prolonged and persistent chronic liver disease. hepatitis B virus(HBV) or HCV infection is prominent etiological factors, attributing to this condition. It has been well documented that HBV, being the inducer of chronic inflammation, is the main causative agent in causing HCC, particularly in Asian countries. The HBV infection leads to a wide range of clinical symptoms from carrier state to malignancy. Cytokines being immune-modulatory molecules, are the key mediators in the defense mechanism against viral infection. In this regard, this review will detail the substantial role of key Th1: interleukin 1(IL-1), IL-2, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ; Th2: IL-4, IL-10 and non Th1/Th2: IL-6, transforming growth factor-β1 cytokines genotypes in analyzing the variability in the clinical manifestations in an HBV-afflicted individual, which might finally, culminates into HCC. Since cytokine production is regulated genetically, the cytokine promoter region single-nucleotide polymorphisms induced changes, greatly affects the cytokine production, thus resulting into differential outcome of immune balance.

Effect of Shoutai Pills on Th1/Th2 Cytokines in Serum and Endometrium of Rats with Stimulated Ovulation

In our previous study,we found that Shoutai pills could improve the embryo implantation rate as well as the levels of estrogen,progesterone and estrogen receptor in rats with stimulated ovulation.However,the mechanism is not clear.This study was designed to investigate the effect of Shoutai pills on the levels of Th1 and Th2 cytokines in rats with stimulated ovulation and the mechanism.The rat model of stimulated ovulation was established by combined injection of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin(PMSG)and human chorionic gonadotropin(HCG).Then the rats were randomly divided into model group(M),Shoutai pills group(S),progesterone group(P)and normal group(N).All the pregnant rats were treated from the first day.The S and P groups were administrated with gavage of Shoutai pills and injection of progesterone respectively,and N and M groups were given the same volume of normal saline and distilled water respectively.After treatment for 7 days,the animals were executed for serum and uterine tissues.The ELISA method was adopted to detect the contents of Thl cytokines[interferon-γ(INF-γ),interleukin-2(IL-2)]and Th2 cytokines(IL-4,IL-6,IL-10).The expression of leukemia inhibitory factor(L1F)and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor(LIFR)was detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR.As compared with N group,the expression levels of IFN-y and IL-2 in M group were significantly increased,and those of IL-4,IL-6,IL-10.LIF and LIFR were significantly decreased(P<0.05).As compared with M group,the levels of IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,LIF and LIFR in S group were significantly increased(P<0.05),and those of IFN-γand IL-2 were significantly decreased(P<0.05).It was suggested that Shoutai pills can increase the levels of IL-4.1L-6,IL-10,LIF and LIFR as well as reduce the levels of INF-γand IL-2 in rats with stimulated ovulation.The Shoutai pills may improve endometrial receptivity and promote embryo implantation by maintaining the balanee of Th1/Th2 cytokines.

Polysaccharide Nucleic Acid of Bacillus Calmette Guerin Modulates Th1/Th2 Cytokine Gene Expression in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Mastitis in Rats

The aim of this study was to evaluate, in rats, the changes in the T helper type 1（Th1）/Th2 radio in mammary glands after an intramammary infusion of lipopolysaccharide （LPS） and to characterize the moderating effects of the polysaccharide nucleic acid of Bacillus Calmette Guerin （BCG-PSN） on the mammary gland. In the control group, the levels of IL-2 and INF-7 mRNA expression increased, whereas IL-4 mRNA expression decreased after LPS challenge. As a consequence, the INF-γ/IL-4 mRNA ratio was significantly higher at 3, 6, and 9 h post-infusion （PI） compared to the control value （0 h; P〈0.01）. BCG-PSN increased mRNA expression of both INF-γ and IL-4 before infusion of LPS. LPS challenge significantly the reduced Th1/Th2 cytokine ratio due to Thl cytokine IFN-γ suppression and Th2 cytokine IL-4 upregulation compared with the control group. A significant reduction of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase （NAGase） was observed at 24 h PI in the BCG-PSN treatment group compared to the control group （P〈 0.05）. Thus, it was demonstrated that level of BCG-PSN might change the Th1/Th2 ratio mainly by enhancing the Th2 immune response. This is the first report of a Th1/Th2 change induced by coliform mastitis and characterization of the effect of BCG-PSN on mammary gland inflammation. This study makes a better understanding of the mechanisms of coliform mastitis and provides a putative novel strategy for the prevention and/or treatment of mastitis.

目的探究原发性肝癌患者经肝动脉插管化疗栓塞术(TACE)治疗后Th1/Th2细胞因子、血管内皮生长因子受体(VEGFR)水平变化及其临床意义。方法选取接受TACE术治疗的原发性肝癌患者92例,根据治疗效果将完全缓解、部分缓解者纳入有效组(n=50),将疾病进展、疾病稳定者纳入无效组(n=42)。比较2组患者的一般临床资料及术前、术后血清Th1/Th2细胞因子水平[白介素-2(IL-2)、白介素-4(IL-4)、白介素-18(IL-18)]、VEGFR水平变化,采用Logistic回归模型进行分析上述指标与疗效的相关性,并通过ROC曲线预测分析上述指标术后水平对疗效的预测效能,比较各指标术后不同水平患者的无进展生存期差异。结果术后2组患者的IL-2、IL-4和VEGFR均较术前下降,且有效组显著低于无效组(P<0.05);术后2组患者的IL-18均较术前显著上升,且有效组显著高于无效组(P<0.05)。IL-2、IL-4、IL-18和VEGFR均与临床疗效具有显著相关性(P<0.05),ROC曲线显示,IL-2、IL-18、VEGFR的AUC值均有评估价值(P<0.05),而IL-4的ROC曲线AUC值评估价值不高(P>0.05)。IL-2、VEGFR高水平患者平均无进展生存期显著短于IL-2、VEGFR低水平患者(P<0.05),IL-18低水平患者无进展生存期显著短于IL-18高水平患者(P<0.05)。结论原发性肝癌患者在TACE术后Th1/Th2细胞因子免疫平衡得以纠正,VEGFR水平表现出下降,其中血清IL-2与VEGFR水平均与疗效及生存期密切相关,可在临床疗效及预后评估中提供参考。

二甲双胍联合炔雌醇环丙孕酮片对多囊卵巢综合征患者血清miR-124及Th1/Th2细胞因子平衡偏移的影响

目的探讨二甲双胍联合炔雌醇环丙孕酮片对多囊卵巢综合征(polycystic ovary syndrome,PCOS)患者血清miR-124水平及Th1/Th2细胞因子平衡偏移的影响。方法纳入2022年1月至2023年2月在攀枝花市妇幼保健院接受治疗的200例PCOS患者,分为观察组(n=100)和对照组(n=100);观察组给予二甲双胍联合炔雌醇环丙孕酮片治疗,对照组给予炔雌醇环丙孕酮片治疗,连续治疗3个月;收集两组患者临床资料,治疗前后血脂[总胆固醇(TC)、三酰甘油(TG)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL-C)]水平、空腹血糖(fasting plasma glucose,FPG)、空腹血清胰岛素(fins insulin,FINS)水平及胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR);检测血清miR-124、白细胞介素(IL)-2、IL-6、γ干扰素(interferon-γ,INF-γ)。结果治疗后观察组TG、TC、LDL-C水平显著降低(P<0.05);治疗后观察组TG、TC、LDL-C水平低于对照组(P<0.05);治疗前两组患者FPG、FINS、HOMA-IR比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),治疗后观察组FPG、FINS、HOMA-IR水平显著降低(P<0.05);且治疗后观察组FPG、FINS、HOMA-IR水平低于对照组(P<0.05);治疗前两组患者IL-2、IL-6、INF-γ及miR-124水平比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);治疗后观察组IL-6、INF-γ水平低于治疗前,IL-2、miR-124水平高于治疗前(P<0.05);治疗后观察组IL-6、INF-γ水平低于对照组,IL-2、miR-124水平高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论二甲双胍联合炔雌醇环丙孕酮片能够明显改善PCOS患者胰岛素抵抗,调节糖脂代谢,改善Th1/Th2细胞因子平衡偏移状态。

脑组织GDF-15水平与脑梗死大鼠血管新生以及Th1/Th2免疫平衡轴的关系

目的:探讨脑组织GDF-15水平与脑梗死大鼠血管新生以及Th1/Th2免疫平衡轴的关系。方法:45只雄性SD大鼠随机分为脑梗死模型组、假手术组以及正常对照组,15只/组。模型组采用线栓法建立脑梗死模型,假手术组仅暴露颈内动脉后直接缝合皮肤,建模成功后1周评估大鼠改良神经功能缺损(mNSS)评分。采用HE染色检测脑组织病理学变化情况,Western blot法检测大鼠脑组织中组织生长分化因子-15(GDF-15)蛋白水平,RTPCR测定脑组织中GDF-15 mRNA水平。采用ELISA法检测脑组织INF-γ、IL-4表达情况,采用Spearman相关性分析大鼠脑组织中GDF-15蛋白、mRNA表达水平分别与mNSS评分、微血管密度(MVD)、INF-γ/IL-4水平之间的相关性。结果:模型组大鼠mNSS评分明显高于假手术组和正常对照组(P<0.001),模型组脑梗死面积比为(24.45±4.15)%,假手术组和正常对照组未发现脑梗死区域。模型组大鼠脑组织GDF-15蛋白、mRNA、MVD、INF-γ/IL-4水平均明显高于假手术组和正常对照组(P<0.05)。Spearman相关性分析显示,模型组大鼠脑组织中GDF-15蛋白、mRNA表达水平分别与mNSS评分、MVD、INF-γ/IL-4水平呈正相关关系(P<0.001)。结论:脑梗死大鼠脑组织中GDF-15处于高表达状态,且与神经功能密切关联,其作用机制可能与血管新生以及调控Th1/Th2免疫平衡轴有关。
