目的探讨干扰素α的疗效是否与调节Th1/Th2细胞因子的表达有关,并以此作为预测干扰素α疗效指标的可能性.方法采用双抗体夹心法和逆转录PCR方法,对应用干扰素治疗的23例慢性乙型肝炎患者外周血淋巴细胞中Th1/Th2细胞因子的表达水平进行动态检测.结果与正常对照组比较,慢性乙肝患者外周血淋巴细胞培养上清液中的IFN-γ水平较低,但无明显差异;IL-4水平则升高,差异有显著性.其外周血淋巴细胞中的mRNA表达水平亦如此.与治疗前比较,干扰素α治疗后3和6个月,在完全应答的患者中,IL-4水平下降;而IFN-γ水平在6个月时升高,差异均有显著性.结论 (1)慢性乙肝患者的外周血淋巴细胞中细胞因子表达可能以Th2类占优势.(2)慢性乙型肝炎患者的外周血淋巴细胞中Th1/Th2细胞因子的表达水平与干扰素α的疗效密切相关.(3)通过检测Th1/Th2细胞因子的变化,可以预测患者对干扰素α治疗的反应,对及时判断干扰素α治疗效果有一定作用.
目的探討榦擾素α的療效是否與調節Th1/Th2細胞因子的錶達有關,併以此作為預測榦擾素α療效指標的可能性.方法採用雙抗體夾心法和逆轉錄PCR方法,對應用榦擾素治療的23例慢性乙型肝炎患者外週血淋巴細胞中Th1/Th2細胞因子的錶達水平進行動態檢測.結果與正常對照組比較,慢性乙肝患者外週血淋巴細胞培養上清液中的IFN-γ水平較低,但無明顯差異;IL-4水平則升高,差異有顯著性.其外週血淋巴細胞中的mRNA錶達水平亦如此.與治療前比較,榦擾素α治療後3和6箇月,在完全應答的患者中,IL-4水平下降;而IFN-γ水平在6箇月時升高,差異均有顯著性.結論 (1)慢性乙肝患者的外週血淋巴細胞中細胞因子錶達可能以Th2類佔優勢.(2)慢性乙型肝炎患者的外週血淋巴細胞中Th1/Th2細胞因子的錶達水平與榦擾素α的療效密切相關.(3)通過檢測Th1/Th2細胞因子的變化,可以預測患者對榦擾素α治療的反應,對及時判斷榦擾素α治療效果有一定作用.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of Th1/Th2 type cytokines and the effect of interferon-α therapy.
Methods Th1/Th2 type cytokines were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on 23 patients with chronic hepatitis B who were treated with interferon-α.
Results Levels of IFN-γ in the supernatant of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) cultures from the patients with hepatitis B were slightly lower than those of controls (P=0.07). However, the levels of IL-4 were higher than those of controls (P=0.01). Cytokines measurements during IFN-α treatment showed a trend to decreaseing levels of IL-4 at 4, 12, and 24 weeks. Levels of IFN-γ were slightly increased following IFN-α treatment (P=0.09). In patients with a complete response to IFN-α, the levels of IFN-γ were higher at 24 weeks following IFN-α treatment than that of pre-treatment (P=0.04), and the levels of IL-4 decreased markedly at 12 and 24 weeks (P=0.02, 0.03, respectively). mRNA expression positively correlated with the level of Th1/Th2 type cytokines in the supernatant.
Conclusion The expression of Th2 type cytokines is predominant in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Interferon-α therapy can modulate the balance of Th1/Th2 type cytokines, and this is related to its clinical effect. Levels of Th1/Th2 type cytokines could be a predictor of clinical response during Interferon -α treatment.
