ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the correlation of tyrosine phosphatase-1/2 (SHP-1,SHP-2) with indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase(IDO) in maternal fetal interface.Methods: The expression of SHP-1,SHP-2 and IDO were detected by Western blot method and the relationship of the proteins was analysed,in human chorionic villi and decidua tissues of 30 cases of artificial abortion patients.Results:The expression of SHP-1,SHP-2 were positively correlated withthe expression of IDO in human chorionic villi and de-cidua;the expression of SHP-1,SHP-2 and IDO in decidual tissues were higher than those in the villi.Conclusion: Normal physiological state of pregnancy,SHP-1 and SHP-2 may be involved in the regulation of immune tolerance by positive regulation of IDO expression at maternal fetal interface.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the proportion and function of CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ regulatory T cells (CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ Tr)in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion(URSA).Methods(1)Proportion measurement:the proportion of CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ Tr cells in peripheral blood was measured by double-label flow cytometric analysis.The samples were taken from 15 URSA women,15 normal non-pregnancy women and 13 normal pregnancy women.(2)Function measurement:CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ Tr ceils and CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ T ce]ls were extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes by the microbeads separation.The purity of CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ Tr cells and CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ T cells was measured by flow cytometry.The growth inhibitory effect of CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ Tr cells on CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ T cells was assessed in vitro.Results The proportion of CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ Tr cells was decreased significantly in URSA women(6.9?1.8)% than that in normal non-pregnancy women[(10.8?1.1)%] (P0.05).Conclusion The results suggest that decrease in proportion and function of CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ Tr cells may be associated with URSA.
