A number of studies have shown the relationship between the pathogenesis of psoriasis and skin resident memory T (T) cells.
To investigate the cytokine profile of T cells from skin lesions of psoriasis and the relationship of skin T cells to the future clinical course of psoriasis.
We used stocked samples of T cells that were ex vivo expanded from skin biopsies of 10 patients with psoriasis vulgaris. A half of 4-mm punch biopsy specimens was subjected to expansion of skin-infiltrating T cells using IL-2 and anti-CD3/CD28 antibody-coated microbeads. More than 10 T cells per specimen were stocked at -80°C. Defrosted cells were subjected to flow cytometric analysis. Another half of skin biopsies were subjected to immmunofluorescence staining for CD103 and other markers.
The biopsied skin revealed CD8CD103 T cells were present in the epidermis of psoriasis and associated with acanthosis. Sorted CD103 T cells were mostly CD8 memory T cells expressing CD69 with a skin-homing potential. A part of CD8CD103 T cells produced interferon-γ, IL-17A or IL-22. Notably, CD8CD103 T cells more frequently produced IL-17A than did CD8CD103 T cells. We retrospectively divided the 10 cases into the non-advanced therapy group, and the advanced therapy group in which systemic biologics or others were initiated within one year. The frequency of CD8CD103IL-17A T cells tended to be higher in the advanced therapy group.
These results suggest that IL-17A-producing CD8CD103 T cells are associated with a progressive clinical course of psoriasis.
多项研究表明,银屑病的发病机制与皮肤固有记忆 T(T)细胞有关。
探讨银屑病皮损 T 细胞的细胞因子谱及皮肤 T 细胞与银屑病未来临床病程的关系。
我们使用了 10 例寻常型银屑病患者皮肤活检标本 ex vivo 扩增的 T 细胞储存样本。用 IL-2 和抗 CD3/CD28 抗体包被的微珠对 4-mm 皮肤活检标本的一半进行皮肤浸润 T 细胞的扩增。每例标本储存超过 10 个 T 细胞,在-80°C 保存。解冻的细胞进行流式细胞术分析。另一半皮肤活检标本进行 CD103 和其他标志物的免疫荧光染色。
活检皮肤显示 CD8CD103 T 细胞存在于银屑病表皮中,并与棘层肥厚有关。分选的 CD103 T 细胞主要是表达 CD69 具有皮肤归巢潜能的 CD8 记忆 T 细胞。一部分 CD8CD103 T 细胞产生干扰素-γ、IL-17A 或 IL-22。值得注意的是,CD8CD103 T 细胞比 CD8CD103 T 细胞更频繁地产生 IL-17A。我们回顾性地将 10 例患者分为非先进治疗组和先进治疗组,即一年内开始全身生物制剂或其他治疗。先进治疗组中 CD8CD103IL-17A T 细胞的频率较高。
这些结果表明,产生 IL-17A 的 CD8CD103 T 细胞与银屑病进行性临床病程有关。
