多发性骨髓瘤患者T细胞亚群及白细胞介素-2水平变化的研究

为了进一步了解多发性骨髓瘤患者细胞免疫状态,应用SPA-Ig直接花环法检测了25例MM患者外周血T细胞亚群,用小鼠胸腺细胞增殖法检测患者外周血淋巴细胞白细胞介素—2的产生能力。结果表明MM患者外周血OKT_3~+、OKT_4~+细胞减少,OKT_8~+细胞升高,OKT_4/OKT_8比值下降;外周血淋巴细胞IL-2水平升高,活动期与缓解期之间有差异,缓解期有所下降。但仍高于正常组。提示患者T细胞亚群失衡,IL-2的产生异常,说明患者在疾病过程中存在细胞免疫紊乱状态。

THE STUDY OF T-CELL SUBSETS AND IL-2 LEVEL IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE MYELOMA

In order to determine the cellular immunestate in patients with multiple myeloma, T-cellsubsets in peripheral blood from 25 cases withmultiple myeloma were measured with SPA-Ig di-rect rosette assay, the activity of interleukin-2 wasinvestigated by using mice thymocyte proliferationassay. The results showed that in multiple myelo-ma, OKT_3~+, OKT_4~+ cell decreased significantly.OKT_6~+ cell increased markedly and the OKT_4/OKT_8 ratio was reduced. The activity of IL-2 in pe-ripheral blood lymphocytes of the patients withmultiple myeloma increased sharply and there wasa significant difference between the active diseaseand the remission disease. The activity of IL-2 inthe remission disease was lower than that in theactive disease but higer than that of the controlgroup. In conclusion, this study indicated thatthere were imbalance of T-cell subsets and abnor-mality of IL-2 production in patients with multiplemyeloma. The data might suggest that there wasdisorder of the cellular immunity in the course ofthe disease.
