To determine the immunological mechanisms associated with outgrowing mite antigen-induced bronchial asthma during adolescence, we studied the relationship between clinical status and Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) antigen-induced peripheral cell activation by measuring IL-1alpha and IL-1beta production in patients with bronchial asthma. After antigen-driven restimulation in vitro, there was increased IL-1alpha, IL-1beta production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with active bronchial asthma, while cellular IL-1alpha, IL-1beta production was reduced in patients with asthma in remission. IL-1alpha and IL-1beta production by PBMC (possibly reflecting airway inflammation) after exposure to Df antigen might be down-regulated in patients outgrowing mite antigen-induced asthma, because lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-1alpha, IL-1beta production (seen in both normal individuals and patients with active asthma) was also reduced when patients were in remission.
为了确定青春期摆脱螨抗原诱导的支气管哮喘所涉及的免疫机制,我们通过测量支气管哮喘患者白细胞介素-1α(IL-1α)和白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)的产生,研究了临床状态与粉尘螨(Df)抗原诱导的外周细胞活化之间的关系。在体外抗原驱动的再刺激后,活动性支气管哮喘患者外周血单核细胞(PBMC)产生的IL-1α和IL-1β增加,而缓解期哮喘患者细胞IL-1α和IL-1β的产生减少。摆脱螨抗原诱导哮喘的患者,暴露于Df抗原后PBMC产生的IL-1α和IL-1β(可能反映气道炎症)可能下调,因为当患者处于缓解期时,脂多糖诱导的IL-1α和IL-1β产生(在正常人和活动性哮喘患者中均可见)也减少。
