ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To analyze the expression and clinical significance of CD4+ CD69+ T cells in peripheral blood of patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. 【Methods】 A total of 206 cases of autoimmune hemolytic anemia admitted to our hospital from March 2018 to March 2021 were selected as the observation group, and 206 cases, who came for healthy physical examination during the same period, were selected as the control group. The levels of CD4+ CD69+ T cells in peripheral blood, CD69 mRNA in CD4+ T cells and CD69 in plasma were detected. The relationship between CD4+ CD69+ T cell level and Hb, reticulocyte ratio (Ret), total bilirubin (TBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis to observe the occurrence of venous thromboembolism. The AUC of receiver operating characteristic was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of CD4+ CD69+ T cell expression in peripheral blood for venous thromboembolism. 【Results】 The levels of CD4+ CD69+ T cells in peripheral blood, CD69 mRNA in CD4+ T cells and CD69 in plasma of observation group were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05). Among 206 patients in the observation group, the levels of CD4+ CD69+ T cells in peripheral blood, CD69 mRNA in CD4+ T cells and plasma CD69 in hemolytic attack group were significantly higher than those in remission group, with statistical significance(P<0.05). The Hb in hemolytic attack group was significantly lower while Ret, TBIL and IBIL levels were significantly higher than those in remission group, with statistical significance(P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the levels of CD4+ CD69+ T cells in peripheral blood of patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia were negatively correlated with Hb(P<0.05) while positively correlated with Ret, TBIL and IBIL(P<0.05). According to ROC curve analysis, the expression level of CD4+ CD69+ T cells in peripheral blood predicted that the AUC of patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia complicated with venous thromboembolism was 0.915(SE: 0.068, OR: 0.002, 95%CI: 0.000~1.000). 【Conclusion】 The up-regulated expression level of CD4+ CD69+ T cells in peripheral blood of patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia is closely related to disease evolution, and it has good efficacy in predicting venous thromboembolism and deserves clinical attention.
ABSTRACT
The research aims to study the effects of different stimulants on the activation of human lymphocytes. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were prepared by density centrifugation. The blood's sample was provided by National Institutes for Food and Drug Control and approved by its Ethics Committee. The expressions of CD69 in CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ human T cells were detected by flow cytometry after administrated with CD3/CD28 antibody, phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), Staphylococcus auresus enterooxin B (SEB), interleukin (IL27) and PMA plus ionomycin for 24 h. The proliferation of lymphocyte was detected by CellTiter-Glo kit. The secreted IFNγ in supernatant of medium was examined by ELISA kit. The proliferation of lymphocytes had no change after exposed of CD3/CD28 antibody, SEB, IL27 and PMA plus ionomycin for 24 h. However, the CD69 expressions in CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T cells and IFNγ productions were significantly increased by CD3/CD28 antibody, SEB, IL27 and PMA plus ionomycin at 24 h, indicating that CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T cells were activated under above-mentioned stimulated condition. CD3/CD28 antibody, SEB, IL27 and PMA plus ionomycin were valid stimulants for T cell activation.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Chronic pain reportedly exerts complex effects on immune function. Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that play a critical role in cellular and innate immunity. This study examined changes in the subset populations and cytotoxic activity of peripheral blood NK cells in patients with chronic pain. METHODS: Thirty patients with chronic moderate-to-severe pain (group P) and age-matched pain-free subjects (group NoP) were enrolled. Peripheral whole blood was analyzed for the percentage and expression of NK cell surface markers (CD56 and CD16) by flow cytometry. Cytotoxic activity was assayed by evaluating CD69 expression on CD3−/CD56+NK cells. RESULTS: The percentage of NK cells among total lymphocytes was not significantly different between groups P and NoP (16.3 ± 9.3 vs. 20.2 ± 10.5%). Likewise, the percentages of two major NK cell subsets, CD56bright and CD56dim, were also not significantly different between the two groups. However, the percentage of CD56bright/CD16+ subset, was slightly but significantly increased in group P (1.0 ± 0.9%; P < 0.01) compared with group NoP (0.5 ± 0.6%). The cytotoxicity of NK cells was not different between the two groups, showing similar CD69 expression (P vs. NoP = 29.2 ± 15.2 vs. 32.0 ± 15.0%). These findings were not influenced by pain intensity, opioid use, or disease causing pain in group P. CONCLUSIONS: NK cell cytotoxic activity and major subset populations, with the exception of an increased percentage of the CD56bright/CD16+ subset, are not significantly altered in patients with chronic severe pain.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the risk factors of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) and the its relationship with T cell subsets to provide a foundation for the prevention and treatment of PAH.Methods 154 maintained hemodialysis (MHD) patients in our dialysis center were recruited according to the criterion and divided into two groups subsequently:PAH group (pulmonary artery systolic pressure,PASP ＞ 35 mmHg) and non-PAH group (PASP≤35 mmHg).The related clinical,biochemical and ultrasonic cardiogram data were collected and peripheral blood was acquired to detect the expressions of the surface antigen CD3,CD4,CD8 and CD69 with flow cytometry.Logistic regression analysis was used to find out the relationship between PAH and T cell subsets.Results There was no significant difference between 56 cases of PAH and 98 cases of non-PAH as regards gender,age,mean systolic and diastolic pressure,dialysis durations,morbidities of hypertension and diabetes,smoking rate,and left ventricular diameter.Compared with the non-PAH group,the PAH group demonstrated a lower percent of CD8 T cells and CD8 CD69 T cells,but a much higher left atrial diameter (LAD),Interventricular septum thickness,left ventricular posterior wall thickness,and NT-proBNP.The percentage of T cells,CD4 T cells and CD4 CD69 T cells showed no difference between the two groups.Multivariate analysis confirmed that PAH was negatively independently associated with the percentage of CD8 T cells and CD8CD69 T cells.Conclusions The decreased percentage of CD8 T cells and CD8CD69 T cells in the peripheral blood is a risk factor of PAH in maintained hemodialysis patients,and CD8 T cells may play an important role in the genesis of PAH.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the capability of recombinant Leishmania LPG3 and its fragments in the activation of B cells. Methods: In the present study, human B cells were purified from peripheral blood of 10 adult healthy subjects using magnetic-activated cell sorting technique. Subsequently, purified B cells were treated with recombinant LPG3, and its N-terminal and C-terminal fragments at different concentrations (2, 10 and 20 μg/mL). B cell activation was assessed through expression of CD69 molecule by flow cytometry and secretion of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-10 cytokines via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay following treatment with recombinant antigens. Results: Our results showed that while the recombinant LPG-3 could significantly increase the production of IL-6 and TNF-α (P < 0.05) in B cells, it had no effect on the secretion of IL-10 by B cells. Conclusions: Our study indicated that recombinant LPG-3 and especially its N-terminal fragment could stimulate B cell response as an important immune response component against leishmaniasis. Thus, it seems that it can be considered as an effective adjuvant in vaccine developments against leishmaniasis.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate changes in expressions of activation antigens CD69 and HLA-DR in CD3+T lymphocytes in peripheral blood and skin lesions in patients with psoriasis vulgaris. Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 20 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 20 healthy controls, and skin specimens from the lesions of 15 out of the 20 patients and 10 healthy controls. Flow cytometry was performed to quantify the expressions of CD69 and HLA-DR in peripheral blood CD3+T cells, and an immunohistochemical study to measure the expression of HLA-DR in skin specimens. Statistical analysis was carried out by a two-sample t-test and Pearson correlation analysis with the SPSS 19.0 software. Results Compared with the healthy controls, the patients with psoriasis vulgaris showed increased expression rates of CD69 (4.70%± 1.90%vs. 1.56%± 0.95%, t=6.629, P<0.01)and HLA-DR (8.97%± 1.79% vs. 3.02% ± 1.15%, t= 6.204, P< 0.01)in peripheral blood. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the percentage of CD3+HLA-DR+cells in peripheral blood was positively correlated with the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI)score (r=0.5626, P<0.05). The expression rate of HLA-DR was significantly higher in the dermis (64.87%± 17.31%vs. 19.80%± 5.69%, t=7.916, P<0.01), but lower in the epidermis(11.80%± 5.55%vs. 27.40%± 8.61%, t=5.479, P<0.01)in the psoriatic specimens compared with the control specimens. Immunohistochemically, HLA-DR was widely expressed in the dermis of psoriatic lesions, but mainly distributed around blood vessels in the control skin. Conclusions There is an aberrant activation of CD3+T cells in peripheral blood and inflammatory cells in skin lesions in patients with psoriasis vulgaris, and the percentage of CD3 +HLA-DR+ cells in peripheral blood is correlated with the severity of psoriasis vulagaris.

ABSTRACT
AIM: Valproic acid (VPA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor and is believed to have anti-tumor activity. The present study aims to investigate the effect of VPA on the, apoptosis and cytokine synthesis of human peripheral lymphocytes. METHODS: The activation and cytokine synthesis in lymphocytes in whole blood stimulated with phorbol dibutyrate (PDB) and ionomycin were evaluated with flow cytometry after fluorescent staining. The mitochondrial membrane potential was examined using 3, 3-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide [DiOC6(3)]staining. RESULTS: VPA at low doses (1 and 5 mmol/L) promoted CD69 expression in activated lymphocytes, whereas it turned to inhibit the expression of CD69 at a high dose (25 mmol/L). Meanwhile, VPA at low doses increased the mitochondrial membrane potential, while a high dose of VPA decreased it in activated lymphocytes. Furthermore, interleukin-2 (IL-2) synthesis was enhanced by low doses of VPA but inhibited by a high dose. However, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) synthesis were dose-dependently enhanced by VPA as compared with those of PDB plus ionomycin-treated cells. CONCLUSION: VPA exerts biphasic effect on the further activation and apoptosis of human peripheral lymphocytes stimulated with mitogens and exhibits differential activity on the synthesis of several important cytokines in human lymphocytes.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced preterm delivery by analyzing the CD86 and CD69 expression in lymphocyte subgroups of mice. Methods: LPS was administered intraperitoneally to establish a mouse model of preterm delivery, with or without TLR4 blockade. The incidences of preterm delivery and fetal death were calculated in each group (LPS group, TLR4 blockade group, and control group). The percentages of blood CD45+ CD86+, CD3+ CD69+, CD19+ CD69+ and CD49b+ CD69+ subsets were measured by flow cytometry. Results: The incidences of preterm delivery and fetal death in LPS group were significantly higher than those in the control group (50.0% [8/16] vs 0[0/16]; 11.0%[9/82] vs 3.1%[5/163], P<0.01 or 0.05). The incidences of preterm delivery(6.3%[1/16]) and fetal death (3.9%[6/154]) in the TLR4 blockade group were significantly lower than those in the LPS group (P<0.01 or 0.05). TLR4 blockade almost completely abrogated LPS-induced increase of CD45+ CD86+, CD3+ CD69+ and CD49b+ CD69+ cell proportions (P<0.01). Conclusion: Interaction between LPS and its receptor TLR4 triggers the mobilization of CD86+ dendritic cells, which subsequently activates blood T cells and NK cells and plays an important role in preterm delivery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of psoriatic keratinocytes on the expression of CD25 and CD69 in T lymphocytes. Methods Keratinocytes were isolated from the biopsy samples resected from the lesions and adjacent non-lesional area of 10 patients with psoriasis, and cultured in 5% CO2 at 37 ℃ in 24-well plates. Density gradient centrifugalization and glass adherence method were applied to detach peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and peripheral blood T lymphocytes (PBTL) from anticoagulant blood samples of the same 10 psoriatic patients and 10 normal controls. PBMCs of 1×105/well were added to the wells containing cultured keratinocytcs of 1×105/well, then gamma rays were used to inactivate these cells. Following that, PBTLs of 1×106/well were inoculated into the 24-well plate containing inactivated keratinocytes and PBMCs, and cultured in 5% CO2 at 37 ℃. Those PBTLs cultured without the presence of keratinocytes or PBMCs served as the natural growth control. Three days later, flow cytometry was performed to detect the expression of CD25 and CD69 in PBTLs. Results There was a significant increase in the expression of CD25 and CD69 in psoriatic PBTLs cocultured with lesional kcratinocytes compared with those cocultured with non-lesional keratinocytes and natural psoriatic controls. Also, the expression of CD25 and CD69 was increased in normal PBTLs cocultured with lesional or non-lesional keratinocytes of psoriatc patients than those in the natural normal controls. No significant differenco was observed in the expression of CD25 or CD69 between psoriatic PBTLs cocultured with non-lesional keratinocytes and natural psoriatic PBTLs, or between the normal PBTLs cocultrred with lesional keratinocytes and those with non-lesienal keratinocytes (P>0.05). Conclusions Psoriatic keratinocytes may act as an autoantigen to trigger autoimmune response and eventually lead to a chronic local inflammation in patients with psoriasis.
