HIV/AIDS患者外周血B细胞数量以及TLR9 mRNA表达水平的研究

目的 探讨HIV-1感染后外周血B细胞数量的变化,以及B细胞TLR9 mRNA表达水平与HIV-1感染疾病进展的关系.方法 采集HIV/AIDS患者EDTA抗凝静脉血,荧光抗体染色后用流式细胞仪检测HIV/AIDS患者B细胞数量.密度梯度离心法分离外周血单个核细胞,应用MACS磁珠分选系统分选CD19+B细胞,并采用荧光定量实时PCR技术检测B细胞TLR9 mRNA水平.结果 HIV/AIDS患者B细胞数量显著低于健康对照组(P＜0.01),与CD4+T细胞数量呈正相关(r=0.534,P=0.006).HIV/AIDS患者外周血B细胞TIR9 mRNA的表达明显低于健康对照组(P=0.023),与CD4+T细胞数量呈正相关(r=0.390,P=0.040).结论 HIV感染可降低HIV/AIDS患者外周血B细胞数量以及B细胞TLR9 mRNA的表达量,B细胞数量和B细胞TLR9 mRNA的表达量均可能与疾病进展相关.

B lymphocyte counts and Toil-like receptor 9 mRNA expression on cell from HIV-1 infected patients

Objective To study the B lymphocytes counts and the expression of TLR9 mRNA on B lymphocytes in peripheral blood from Chinese HIV-infected patients.Methods The cells from peripheral blood were stained with antibodies labeled with fluorescence and B lymphocytes were counted with flow cytometry.Using the method of magnetic activated cell sorting and real-time PCR,the expression of TLR9 mRNA was measured.Results The B lymphocytes counts in HIV/AIDS patients was significantly lower than that of healthy controls(P ＜0.01).The B lymphocytes counts in HIV/AIDS patients positively correlated with the CD4 +T cells counts(r =0.534,P = 0.006).The expression of TLR9 mRNA on B lymphocytes in HIV/AIDS patients was significantly lower than that of healthy controls(P =0.023),and positively correlated with the CD4 + T cells counts(r = 0.390,P = 0.040).Conclusion The B lymphocytes counts and the expression of TLR9 mRNA on B lymphocytes in Chinese HIV/AIDS patients were decreased due to HIV infection,which may correlate with disease progression.
