Programmed death-1 (PD-1) is one of the most important inhibitory co-receptors expressed predominantly on activated T and B lymphocytes whose expression could be sustained by permanent antigenic stimulation accompanying chronic or recurrent tonsillitis. The expression of PD-1 and PD-1L was analyzed using flow cytometry on hypertrophied tonsils collected from 57 children. We observed high expression of PD-1 and PD-1L on certain lymphocytes subpopulations of hypertrophied tonsils; among T cells, the expression of PD-1 on protein level was higher on CD4 cells (70.3 %) than on CD8 cells (35 %). Interestingly, a limited expression of PD-1 was observed on CD19 B lymphocytes (6.5 %), while CD5CD19 B cells overexpressed PD-1 (52.5 %). Moreover, the expression of PD-1L was also higher on CD5CD19 B cells (16.5 %) than on CD19 B cells (3.5 %) and on CD4 T cells (20 %) than on CD8 T cells (10 %). PD-1 and PD-1L expressions correlated only on CD5CD19 cells. In conclusion, high expression of PD-1 and PD-1L on T and B cells could represent hallmark of immune system adaptation to chronic antigenic exposition in patients with tonsillitis.
程序性死亡受体 1(PD - 1)是最重要的抑制性共受体之一,主要表达于活化的 T 和 B 淋巴细胞上,其表达可由伴随慢性或复发性扁桃体炎的持续性抗原刺激维持。使用流式细胞术分析了从 57 名儿童收集的肥大扁桃体中 PD - 1 和 PD - 1L 的表达。我们观察到肥大扁桃体的某些淋巴细胞亚群上 PD - 1 和 PD - 1L 表达较高;在 T 细胞中,CD4 细胞上 PD - 1 的蛋白水平表达(70.3%)高于 CD8 细胞(35%)。有趣的是,在 CD19 B 淋巴细胞上观察到有限的 PD - 1 表达(6.5%),而 CD5CD19 B 细胞过表达 PD - 1(52.5%)。此外,CD5CD19 B 细胞上 PD - 1L 的表达(16.5%)也高于 CD19 B 细胞(3.5%),且在 CD4 T 细胞上(20%)高于 CD8 T 细胞(10%)。PD - 1 和 PD - 1L 的表达仅在 CD5CD19 细胞上相关。总之,T 和 B 细胞上 PD - 1 和 PD - 1L 的高表达可能代表扁桃体炎患者免疫系统适应慢性抗原暴露的标志。
