In patients on chronic hemodialysis leukocyte activation has been related to the impaired function of the immune system. In this study we investigated if the vitamin E-coated dialyzer membrane could reduce monocyte activation thereby improving cellular immunity.
This hypothesis was tested in a prospective crossover trial in which 14 stable hemodialysis patients were switched from the baseline hemophane dialyzer to a vitamin E-coated and thereafter a polysulphone dialyzer membrane or vice versa.
Monocyte MHC class I, CD54 and ICAM-1 expression was significantly downregulated when a vitamin E-coated or polysulphone dialyzer was used. The use of a vitamin E membrane specifically decreased monocyte CD40 and CD86 expression. Lectin induced T cell proliferation increased with the use of the vitamin E-coated membrane as compared to polysulphone and hemophane dialyzers.
Vitamin E-coated dialyzers induced a less-activated phenotype of monocytes and may improve cellular immunity.
在慢性血液透析患者中,白细胞激活与免疫系统功能受损有关。在本研究中,我们调查了维生素E包被的透析器膜是否能减少单核细胞激活,从而改善细胞免疫。
在一项前瞻性交叉试验中检验了这一假设,14例稳定的血液透析患者从基线血仿膜透析器转换为维生素E包被的透析器,之后再转换为聚砜膜透析器,反之亦然。
使用维生素E包被的或聚砜膜透析器时,单核细胞MHC I类分子、CD54和细胞间黏附分子-1(ICAM-1)的表达显著下调。使用维生素E膜可特异性降低单核细胞CD40和CD86的表达。与聚砜膜和血仿膜透析器相比,使用维生素E包被的膜时,凝集素诱导的T细胞增殖增加。
维生素E包被的透析器可诱导单核细胞呈现激活程度较低的表型,并可能改善细胞免疫。
