Abstract
Objective
To investigate the effect and mechanism of placental protein 14 on the proliferation and differentiation of B cells.
Methods
The lymphocyte of human peripheral blood was separated by gradient centrifugation. Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of CD4+CXCR5+ follicular helper T cells (Tfh cells), CD4+CXCR5+Foxp3+ follicular regulatory T cells (Tfr cells), CD3-CD19+B cells and CD3-CD38+ plasma cells. ELISA method was used to detect the concentration of IL-21, IL-10 and TGF-beta in the supernatant, and the co-culture of cells was performed by Transwell chamber; t test was used for comparison between groups.
Results
The proportion of Tfh cells and Tfr cells in the control group was (2.52±0.16)% and (1.26±0.24)%, respectively, and that of the placental protein 14 groups were (0.84±0.09)% and (4.64±0.68)%, respectively. There was a significant difference between the two groups (t=9.150, P=0.000 8 and t=4.669, P=0.009 5). Pplacental protein 14 could further inhibit the secretion of IL-21 (t=5.086, P=0.007 1), and promote the increase of IL-10 and TGF-β concentration (t=3.599, P=0.022 8 and t=6.651, P=0.002 7). The percentage of B cells and plasma cells in the placental protein 14 group were (4.87±0.20)% and (5.41±0.54)%, which were significantly different from those in the Tfh cell group (t=4.997, P=0.007 5; t=5.110, P=0.006 9).
Conclusion
Placental protein 14 can inhibit the proliferation of B cells and differentiate into plasma cells by inhibiting the differentiation of Tfh cells and increasing the proportion of Tfr cells.

CHINESE JOURNAL OF RHEUMATOLOGY is a professional academic journal of rheumatology published by the Chinese Association for Science and Technology and sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association at home and abroad, which was founded in November 1997 and published monthly on the 15th of each month. ISSN 1007-7480 and 14-1217/R in China.
CHINESE JOURNAL OF RHEUMATOLOGY reports on the leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experiences in the field of rheumatology, as well as the basic theoretical researches that have a guiding effect on the clinical practice of rheumatology and are closely integrated with the clinical practice of rheumatology, using the general practitioners of rheumatology as the main target readers.
Columns include: monographs, treatises, clinical research (clinical case review), basic research, short treatises, expert consensus, case reports, reviews, lectures, conference (symposium) proceedings, continuing education, academic dynamics, academic controversy and other columns (of which clinical research (clinical case review), basic research, short treatises are regarded as treatises).
