摘要
材料和方法:我们使用流式细胞术鉴定并量化了 49 名哮喘患者外周血样本中的第 2 组先天性淋巴细胞、T 辅助 2 细胞、滤泡辅助 T 细胞和 T 辅助 17 细胞。然后,我们进行了横断面分析,以评估这些免疫细胞的水平与肺功能参数(包括 1 秒内预测用力呼气容积百分比(%FEV1))之间的关系。我们还研究了免疫细胞比例与 2 型生物标志物之间的相关性:结果:外周血中 CXCR5+ 滤泡辅助性 T 细胞的比例,与第 2 组先天性淋巴细胞 (ILC2) 或 T 辅助细胞 2 的比例相比,在有 %FEV1 的病例中明显更高:循环中滤泡辅助性 T 细胞的比例,而非 T 辅助性 2 细胞或第 2 组先天性淋巴细胞的比例,可能反映出存在由持续性 2 型炎症引起的气道阻塞。
Elevated Proportions of Circulating CXCR5+ Follicular Helper T Cells Reflect the Presence of Airway Obstruction in Asthma.
Materials and methods: Using flow cytometry, we identified and quantified Group 2 innate lymphocytes, T helper 2 cells, follicular helper T cells, and T helper 17 cells in peripheral blood samples from 49 individuals with asthma. We then conducted cross-sectional analyses to assess relationships between levels of these immune cells and lung function parameters, including the percentage predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (%FEV1). We also examined correlations between the proportions of immune cells and type 2 biomarkers.
Results: Proportions of CXCR5+ follicular helper T cells in human peripheral blood, as opposed to Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) or T helper 2 cells, were significantly higher in cases with %FEV1 < 80% compared to those with %FEV1 ≥ 80%. Further, these proportions correlated negatively with %FEV1 and positively with blood eosinophil counts.
Conclusions: The proportion of circulating follicular helper T cells, but not T helper 2 cells or Group 2 innate lymphoid cells, may reflect the presence of airway obstruction caused by persistent type 2 inflammation.
