Parameters of immune activation/differentiation were studied in a group of newly diagnosed HIV- and HIV+ pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients. Compared with controls, HLA-DR expression on both CD4 and CD8 T cells from the HIV- TB patients was approximately doubled; HLA-DR on T cells from the HIV+ group was tripled. The monocytes from both groups of patients expressed abnormally high levels of the Fc gamma receptors I and III. Serum levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), neopterin and beta 2-microglobulin were increased in HIV- and even more so in HIV+ TB patients. The expression of HLA-DR on T cell subsets and of Fc gamma R on monocytes correlated with each other, but not with serum activation markers. This pattern of non-specific activation during TB infection may be associated with enhanced susceptibility to HIV infection.
在一组新诊断的HIV阴性和HIV阳性肺结核(TB)患者中研究了免疫激活/分化参数。与对照组相比,HIV阴性肺结核患者的CD4和CD8 T细胞上HLA-DR的表达约增加了一倍;HIV阳性组T细胞上的HLA-DR增加了两倍。两组患者的单核细胞均异常高水平表达Fcγ受体I和III。HIV阴性肺结核患者血清肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、新蝶呤和β2-微球蛋白水平升高,HIV阳性肺结核患者升高更明显。T细胞亚群上HLA-DR的表达与单核细胞上FcγR的表达相互相关,但与血清激活标志物无关。肺结核感染期间这种非特异性激活模式可能与HIV感染易感性增加有关。
