目的:探讨Graves病(GD)患者异常升高的甲状腺激素与免疫异常之间的因果关系,和抗甲抗腺药治疗GD期间加用甲状腺素(T4)的作用。方法:将GD患者外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)在不同浓度的T4条件下体外培养6d后,检测T细胞亚群和培养上清中可溶性白细胞介素2受体(sIL2R)及IgG的含量。结果:与正常对照组相比培养后的GD患者PBMC中CD8+T细胞亚群百分率明显减少(P<001);培养上清中sIL2R及IgG水平显著升高(P<001);T4体外对上述指标无明显影响。结论:GD患者同时具有T、B细胞异常;T4体外对GD患者的T、B细胞功能异常无影响,异常升高的甲状腺激素可能为GD患者免疫异常的结果而不是导致免疫异常的原因。
Objective: To investigate the causal relationship between abnormally elevated thyroid hormones and immune abnormalities in patients with Graves’ disease (GD) and the role of thyroid hormone (T4) during treatment of GD with anti-thyroid drugs. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with GD were cultured in vitro for 6 days under different concentrations of T4. T lymphocyte subsets and soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL2R) and IgG content. Results: Compared with the normal control group, the percentage of CD8 + T lymphocyte subsets in PBMCs was significantly decreased (P <001); the levels of sIL2R and IgG in the culture supernatant were significantly increased (P0.01) ; T4 in vitro no significant effect on the above indicators. Conclusion: Patients with GD have both T and B cell abnormalities. T4 has no effect on T and B cell dysfunction in GD patients. The abnormally elevated thyroid hormone may be the result of immune abnormalities in patients with GD rather than the cause of immunological abnormalities.
