To study the role of T-lymphocytes in the patients with alveolitis due to interstitial lung disease (ILD), we have examined T cell populations in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and peripheral blood (PB) of ten patients with ILD and six normal-controls via flow cytometry. The percentages of T-lymphocytes bearing the activation markers of HLA-DR (p < 0.01) and CD25 (p < 0.05) were significantly higher in BAL of ILD patients. There was no correlation between T lymphocytes subtypes and pulmonary functions and diffusion capacity (p > 0.05). In PB of ILD patients had less CD4+ T lymphocytes and CD19 cells (B lymphocytes) than controls (p < 0.05). This increased T-lymphocyte activation in BAL in contrast to PB suggested to have a role in the pathogenesis of the lung involvement in ILD.
为研究T淋巴细胞在间质性肺疾病(ILD)所致肺泡炎患者中的作用,我们通过流式细胞术检测了10例ILD患者及6例正常对照者的支气管肺泡灌洗(BAL)液和外周血(PB)中的T细胞亚群。ILD患者BAL液中携带HLA-DR激活标志物(p<0.01)和CD25(p<0.05)的T淋巴细胞百分比显著更高。T淋巴细胞亚群与肺功能及弥散能力之间无相关性(p>0.05)。与对照组相比,ILD患者PB中的CD4+T淋巴细胞和CD19细胞(B淋巴细胞)较少(p<0.05)。与PB相比,BAL中T淋巴细胞激活增加提示其在ILD肺部受累的发病机制中起作用。
