Background technique
Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the autoimmune reduced by blood platelet, with the characteristics of dermatorrhagia
Disease, with complicated Pathologic Characteristics.Macrophage, CD8+T cell, autoantibody can destroy blood platelet, in the hair of ITP
It plays an important role during disease.However helper T lymphocyte (Th) plays important on-off action in the generation of mediate B cell antibody.
In addition, it is the autoimmunity disease mainly showed that ITP, which is with Th1 polarization, the degree that Th1/Th2 ratio increases and platelet count and disease
Sick severity is negatively correlated.Therefore reverse Th1 polarization, restore Th1/Th2 balance may be risen in the treatment of ITP patient it is latent
Important function.
Th cell is played regulatory role in immune system by secrete cytokines.Th1 and Th2 cell is being immunoreacted
Effect it is different.Wherein, Th1 cell Major Secretory cytokines interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL) -2, in immune disease
It plays an important role in the pathogenic process of disease;And Th2 cell Major Secretory cell factor IL-4 and IL-13, in autoimmune disease
Pathogenic process in shield.In addition, some factors have been demonstrated that the secretion of Th1 and Th2 cell factor, example can be influenced
Such as: regulatory T cells, granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), T box (T-bet) and GATA combination egg in T lymphocyte
White 3 (GATA-3).In addition, T-bet and GATA-3 are two important T cell transduced elements, be adjusted Th1 and Th2 cell because
Subbase because expression, T cell differentiation in play an important role.T-bet/GATA-3 is believed to really react Th1/Th2
State.
G-CSF is an important Hemopoietic factor of medullary system, while being the necessary mediation person of immune response again, and connection is inherently exempted from
Epidemic disease reaction and the acquired immune response play an important role in inducing and maintaining T cell tolerance.In health donors, G-CSF can
To reduce cell factor IFN-γ, the generation of IL-4 is improved, reduces Th1/Th2 ratio.Delay and/or treat in addition, G-CSF has
The effect of autoimmunity disease.However, effect of the G-CSF in the dysimmunity of ITP is still unclear.
We assume that G-CSF can reduce the Th1/Th2 ratio that ITP patient increases extremely, in order to confirm this it is assumed that I
Study effect of the G-CSF in ITP patient's Th1/Th2 ratio, our result show that G-CSF change ITP patient Th1/
The potential treatment of Th2 ratio acts on, and illustrates G-CSF in the indirect adjustment mechanism of Th1/Th2 cell.
