We studied production of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin 1 (IL-1) by using purified peripheral blood monocytes of patients with previous yersinia arthritis (YA) and of healthy HLA-B27 positive and negative controls. Lipopolysaccharide-exposed cells of HLA-B27 positive and negative patients, and those of HLA-B27 positive controls, generated significantly more TNF than did HLA-B27 negative control cells. There was a positive correlation between the levels of TNF and IL-1. Our results give credence to the view that augmented production of phlogistic mediators may contribute to inflammatory symptoms in patients with HLA-B27 associated disease.
我们采用纯化的外周血单核细胞,对曾患耶尔森菌关节炎(YA)的患者以及健康的HLA - B27阳性和阴性对照者进行研究,以检测肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)和白细胞介素1(IL - 1)的产生情况。HLA - B27阳性和阴性患者以及HLA - B27阳性对照者的脂多糖刺激细胞所产生的TNF,显著多于HLA - B27阴性对照细胞。TNF和IL - 1水平之间存在正相关。我们的结果支持这样一种观点,即炎症介质产生增加可能导致HLA - B27相关疾病患者出现炎症症状。
