与阻断前比较,差异有显著性(P<);加入抗CD40L抗体阻断后,CD4(+)和CD8(+) T细胞表面Fas表达与阻断前比较差异无显著性(P>)。结论 SLE患者血清sFas和sCD40L水平升高且呈正相关关系;T细胞亚群表面Fas及CD40L高表达且呈正相关关系;T细胞上Fas的表达调控CD40L的表达。说明凋亡调节蛋白Fas及共刺激分子CD40L可能共同参与SLE的发病过程。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the expressions of Fas and CD40L in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Serum sFas, sCD40L levels in patients with SLE and healthy controls were determined using mercially available ELISA system and the correlation between the levels of sFas and sCD40L was analyzed. Meanwhile, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with SLE and health controls were isolated by gradient centrifugation of heparinized blood. The expressions of Fas and CD40L on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes in patients with SLE and controls were determined by flow cytometry (FCM) after cultivation for 48 h. The
antibodies of FasL and CD40L were add in the process of cultivation, and then the expressions of CD40L and Fas of peripheral blood T lymphocytes were determined. Results ①The average levels of sFas and sCD40L in SLE patients were μg/L and μg/L, respectively, which were markedly higher than those of μg/L and μg/L in the healthy controls; the serum levels of sFas and sCD40L we
