Imbalances of Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 are Associated With Active Cytomegalovirus Infection in Infant Liver Transplant Recipients
Background
Because cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is one of the most common complications following liver transplantation (LT), it is important to analyze the impact of CMV infection on the LT-associated changes in T cells polarization. This study aimed to investigate T helper (Th) and T cytotoxic (Tc) cells polarization and their correlation in infant LT recipients with active CMV infection.
Methods
Twenty infant LT recipients with active CMV infection (the CMV group) and 20 recipients without CMV infection (the stable group) were enrolled. The percentages of Th1, Th2, Tc1, and Tc2 cells were detected by flow cytometry after intracellular staining for cytokines (IFN-γ and IL-10, respectively) in peripheral blood. The correlation between Th and Tc cells was analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results
The percentages of Th1 and Tc1 cells were significantly decreased, whereas the percentages of Tc2 cells were significantly increased in CMV group compared with the stable group, along with significant reduction of Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 ratios (P < .01). The percentages of Th1 cells were positively correlated with Tc1 cells (P < .01). A higher Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 ratios were showed in the CMV group after antiviral therapy than those in the CMV group before therapy (P < .01).
Conclusions
Our findings show an imbalanced Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 immunity in infant LT recipients with active CMV infection, which were involved in the pathogenesis of CMV infection.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
