It has been reported that a dysfunction of T lymphocytes can be responsible for alteration in immune system in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Using flow cytometric analysis, we determined the abnormalities of T cell receptor zeta (TCR zeta) chain contents in CD4+ T cells of SLE patients.
We observed a decrease in mean fluorescence intensity of TCR zeta in CD4+ T cells of patients with SLE. The multiple analysis did not show a correlation between gender, age, disease specific manifestation, treatment, duration and TCR zeta mean fluorescence intensity in CD4+ T cells.
High prevalence of TCR zeta chain deficiency in CD4+ T cells confirms the significance of this signaling molecule in SLE pathogenesis.
据报道,T淋巴细胞功能障碍可能是系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者免疫系统改变的原因。
采用流式细胞术分析,我们测定了SLE患者CD4 + T细胞中T细胞受体ζ(TCRζ)链含量的异常情况。
我们观察到SLE患者CD4 + T细胞中TCRζ的平均荧光强度降低。多因素分析未显示性别、年龄、疾病特异性表现、治疗、病程与CD4 + T细胞中TCRζ平均荧光强度之间存在相关性。
CD4 + T细胞中TCRζ链缺陷的高发生率证实了该信号分子在SLE发病机制中的重要性。
