B7-H3 is frequently upregulated in response to autoantigens and pathogens during host T cell immune responses. However, the role of B7-H3 which express in CD14+ monocytes and CD4+CD25high T cells had not been investigated.
Cytometry and ELISA were used in this study.
The study showed that B7-H3 expression in CD14+ monocytes, CD4+CD25high T cells, and plasma was significantly increased in AHB, CHB, HBV-LC, and HBV-HCC group. In CHB group, the expression of B7-H3 was positively correlated with the ALT and AST levels.
B7-H3 expression in peripheral CD14+ monocytes, CD4+CD25high T cells, and plasma changed with HBV infection progression and had a significant correlation with liver function in CHB. B7-H3 expression could be utilized as a potential clinical indicator to determine the extent of liver injury.
在宿主T细胞免疫反应过程中,B7-H3常因自身抗原和病原体而被上调表达。然而,B7-H3在CD14+单核细胞和CD4+CD25high T细胞中的表达作用尚未得到研究。
本研究采用了流式细胞术和酶联免疫吸附测定法。
研究表明,急性乙型肝炎(AHB)、慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)、乙型肝炎肝硬化(HBV-LC)和乙型肝炎肝癌(HBV-HCC)组中,CD14+单核细胞、CD4+CD25high T细胞及血浆中的B7-H3表达显著增加。在CHB组中,B7-H3的表达与谷丙转氨酶(ALT)和谷草转氨酶(AST)水平呈正相关。
外周血CD14+单核细胞、CD4+CD25high T细胞及血浆中的B7-H3表达随乙肝病毒感染进程而变化,且在CHB中与肝功能显著相关。B7-H3表达可作为判断肝损伤程度的潜在临床指标。
