RESUMO
Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of CD28 and CD160 in patients with chronic HIV infection.Methods 50 patients with HIV from January 2016 to January 2017 were selected as the observation group, and 50 healthy volunteers were recruited as control group.Observe and record general information of all participants, the expression of CD28, CD160 in CD4+and CD8+T cells, initial T cells (TN), the expression of CD160 in central memory T cells (TCM), effector memory T cells (TEM), end effector memory T cells (TEMRA), mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), viral load of two kinds of the cells, analyze the correlation between the expression level of CD28 and CD160 and CD4+T cell count and viral load.Results With the increase of CD160 expression of CD4+T cells, CD4+T cells showed a downward trend, there is a negative correlation between them (r=-0.561, P＜0.05), CD8+T cell number is on the rise, there is a positive correlation between them (r=0.619, P＜0.05), and HIV-RNA copy number increased with the increase of CD160 expression on CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells, both positive (r=0.684, P＜0.05, r=0.459, P＜0.05);with the increase of CD28 cells on the expression of CD4+T, CD4+, CD8+T cells showed a rising trend, there is a positive correlation between them (r=0.621, P＜0.05, r=0.527, P＜0.05, HIV-RNA) and the copy number decreased with the increase of the expression of CD28 and CD4+T on CD8+T cells, there is a negative correlation between them (r=-0.634, P＜0.05, r=-0.582, P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the positive rate of expression in TEMRA subgroup and MFI of CD160 in CD8+T cell in two groups (P＞0.05).The positive rate and MFI of CD8+T cell CD160 in TN, TCM and TEM subgroups in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (Tcm), with statistical significance.Conclusion The expression of CD28 in patients with chronic HIV infection is decreased, and the expression of CD160 is increased, which may be related to the decrease of HIV CD4+T and CD8+T cells, in which CD160 mainly affects the memory CD8+T.
