概括
肝硬化损害了适应性免疫力,增加了像LAG-3和TIM-3这样的T细胞耗尽标志物. 肝病患者的这种免疫功能障碍突显了免疫治疗的潜力.
科学领域:
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 肝病学 肝病学是一种肝病学.
- 细胞生物学 细胞生物学
背景情况:
- 肝硬化,晚期肝病,导致与肝硬化相关的免疫功能障碍综合征 (CAIDS).
- 免疫细胞的新陈代谢重编程是由于各种原因 (如酒精和病毒感染) 的炎症而发生的.
- 适应性免疫功能障碍,特别是T细胞耗尽和激活,是CAIDS的一个关键特征.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究肝硬化中受损的适应性免疫力.
- 评估T细胞耗尽和激活标记在肝硬化患者的辅助和细胞毒性T细胞上.
主要方法:
- 对19名肝硬化患者和36名健康对照进行前性观察性研究.
- 流细胞测量用于分析T细胞激活 (CD38,CD44,CD69,HLADR) 和耗尽标记 (CTLA-4,PD-1,TIM-3,LAG-3).
- 使用血清胆红素,白蛋白,INR,,肝脏脑病变等方法评估肝脏衰竭.
主要成果:
- 肝硬化患者的T细胞减少,但CD4:CD8T细胞比例正常.
- 在肝硬化中观察到,HLADR在CD8+ T细胞的表达增加,以及在CD4+和CD8+ T细胞的LAG-3和TIM-3的表达增加.
- 在肝硬化患者中观察到CD8+ T细胞上PD-1/TIM-3的共同表达较高;CTLA-4缺席,PD-1没有显著差异.
结论:
- 肝硬化与适应性免疫力受损有关,其特征是T细胞耗尽和激活.
- 在T细胞中增加的疲劳标志物 (LAG-3,TIM-3) 和激活标志物HLADR表明免疫调节失调.
- 这些发现强调了免疫疗法在治疗肝硬化的免疫功能障碍方面具有潜在的治疗意义.

Tumor Immunotherapy
464
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response
833
Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

T Cell Activation and Clonal Selection
638
T cells are integral to our adaptive immune system, recognizing and effectively responding to foreign antigens. T cell activation and clonal selection are pivotal in orchestrating this immune response. This article elucidates these mechanisms, detailing the roles of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, costimulatory signals, and the process of clonal selection.
