ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the role of Th17 cells in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) mice model.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>ITP was induced by daily intraperitoneal injection of anti-platelet membrane CD41 antibody (MWReg30) into BALB/c mice, the mRNA expressions of Th17 cell associated transcription factors and cytokines in peripheral blood and spleen mononuclear cells were measured by real-time PCR, and the proportion of Th17 cells by FCM analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The percentage of Th17 cell was significantly elevated in ITP mice both in splenocyte and peripheral blood as compared with that in normal controls (P<0.01). ITP mice had elevated mRNA expressions of IL-17F, IL-17A and IL-6 in splenocyte (P<0.05), and of IL-21 in peripheral blood (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between IL-17A and IL-17F (r = 0.934, P = 0.000), and between IL-17A/IL-17F and IL-6 (r = 0.598, P = 0.001; r = 0. 619, P = 0.000).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Th17 cell might play an important role in the pathogenesis of ITP, at least involving in the clearance of platelets.</p>
