Four patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) showed increased percentages of RP105-negative B cells in the peripheral blood. Case 1: A 66-year-old man having retroperitoneal fibrosis had 18.8% of RP105-negative B cells. Oral prednisolone improved the affected lesions and the percentage of RP105-negative B cells decreased (3.2%) after the treatment. Case 2: A 53-year-old man with retroperitoneal fibrosis had 27.9% of RP105-negative B cells. Case 3: A 38-year-old man with follicular hyperplasia showed increased percentage of RP105-negative B cells (8.3%). Case 4: A 60-year-old man with interstitial nephritis had 27.5% of RP105-negative B cells. The treatment decreased the numbers of RP105-negative B cells. Increased numbers of RP105-negatvie B cells is possibly associated with disease activity of IgG4-RD. Analysis of expression of RP105 on B cells may be helpful in evaluation of disease activity of IgG4-RD.
4例IgG4相关性疾病(IgG4-RD)患者外周血中RP105阴性B细胞百分比升高。病例1:一名66岁患有腹膜后纤维化的男性,其RP105阴性B细胞占18.8%。口服泼尼松龙使受累病变改善,治疗后RP105阴性B细胞百分比下降(3.2%)。病例2:一名53岁患有腹膜后纤维化的男性,其RP105阴性B细胞占27.9%。病例3:一名38岁患有滤泡增生的男性,其RP105阴性B细胞百分比升高(8.3%)。病例4:一名60岁患有间质性肾炎的男性,其RP105阴性B细胞占27.5%。治疗使RP105阴性B细胞数量减少。RP105阴性B细胞数量增加可能与IgG4-RD的疾病活动相关。分析B细胞上RP105的表达可能有助于评估IgG4-RD的疾病活动。
