The examination of HLA-DP+ T cells in 21 patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis revealed marked increases [28.5% (SD 16.6%)], compared with the HLA-DQ+ and DR+ T cells. The HLA-DP molecule was expressed on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. The majority of HLA-DP+ CD8+ cells were cytotoxic T cells. There was no significant correlation between the proportion of HLA-DP+ T cells and the level of myogenic enzyme, although a decrease in HLA-DP+ T cells after therapy was accompanied by a decrease in myogenic enzymes. However, the proportion of HLA-DP+ CD8+ cells was significantly higher in those patients with active pneumonitis.
对21例多发性肌炎/皮肌炎患者的HLA-DP⁺ T细胞进行检测发现,与HLA-DQ⁺和DR⁺ T细胞相比,其数量显著增加[28.5%(标准差16.6%)]。HLA-DP分子在CD4⁺和CD8⁺ T细胞上均有表达。大多数HLA-DP⁺ CD8⁺细胞是细胞毒性T细胞。HLA-DP⁺ T细胞比例与肌源酶水平之间无显著相关性,尽管治疗后HLA-DP⁺ T细胞减少伴随着肌源酶降低。然而,活动性肺炎患者中HLA-DP⁺ CD8⁺细胞的比例显著更高。
