摘要:
目的 探讨Th17和FOXP3+T(Treg)阳性细胞在慢性胃炎、淋巴细胞性胃炎和胃黏膜相关淋巴组织(MALT)淋巴瘤中的意义。 方法 采用免疫组织化学方法检测18例慢性胃炎、17例淋巴细胞性胃炎和18例低度恶性胃MALT淋巴瘤组织中Th17及FOXP3+T细胞的表达情况。 结果 Th17在慢性胃炎组、淋巴细胞性胃炎组和胃MALT淋巴瘤组阳性细胞数分别为(11.2±2.4)、(15.1±5.3)和(16.8±5.4)个/每高倍镜视野,胃MALT淋巴瘤与慢性胃炎相比,差别有统计学意义(P < 0.05),但胃MALT淋巴瘤与淋巴细胞性胃炎间差别无统计学意义(P>0.05)。FOXP3+T在慢性胃炎组、淋巴细胞性胃炎组和胃MALT淋巴瘤组的细胞数分别为(5.1±2.7)、(22.4±4.0)和(30.8±7.2)个/每高倍镜视野,三组间两两比较差异均有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。FOXP3+T和Th17细胞数量改变在胃MALT淋巴瘤组呈正相关(R=0.308,P < 0.05)。 结论 FOXP3+T和Th17细胞数量在淋巴细胞性胃炎和胃MALT淋巴瘤组织中增多,可能在胃MALT淋巴瘤的发生、发展过程中发挥作用。 -

Abstract:Objective To investigate the role of Th17 and Treg in chronic gastritis, lymphocytic gastritis, and low-grade gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Methods The expression of FOXP3+Treg and Th17 in 18 chronic gastritis, 17 lymphocytic gastritis, and 18 gastric MALT lymphoma cases were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results IL-17 expression increased in the chronic gastritis, lymphocytic gastritis, and gastric MALT lymphoma cases. However, no statistical significance was found in IL-17 expression between lymphocytic gastritis and gastric MALT lymphoma. The expression of FOXP3+Treg cells increased in the chronic gastritis, lymphocytic gastritis, and gastric MALT lymphoma cases (P < 0.05) (corresponding to 30.8 ± 7.2, 22.4 ± 4.0, and 5.1 ± 2.7 per high magnification field, respectively). The density of FOXP3+Treg cells was positively correlated with the expression of IL-17 (r = 0.308, P < 0.05). Conclusion Th17 and Treg may play certain roles in the development of gastric MALT lymphoma. -
