慢性过敏性气道炎症中Th17反应阻碍了调节性T细胞介导的免疫耐受及其促气道重塑作用
2012/10/11
Th17型反应在哮喘患者气道重塑中的作用尚不清楚。我们研究显示,胃肠外和粘膜过敏原致敏,随后过敏原吸入,可导致Th17型肺免疫反应。与体外产生的Th17细胞不同的是,肺内Th17细胞不能产生肿瘤坏死因子-α和IL-22。嗜酸性粒细胞增多主要见于急性炎症,中性粒细胞增多和IL-17增多主要见于慢性疾病。过敏原诱导的耐受与Foxp3-、Helios-和主要表达糖蛋白-A重复序列的调节性T细胞(Treg)及IL-10/干扰素-γ相关。致敏的肺内存在Treg表现型改变,而吸入IL-17能消除该Treg表现型。在对gp130遗传紊乱的Th17缺陷小鼠研究中,结果显示Th17细胞诱导气道重构,该作用与Th2反应无关。给予全反式视黄酸能缓解Th17介导的疾病,增加Treg活性,而给予地塞米松能抑制嗜酸性粒细胞增多,但对中性粒细胞增多无影响,同时会增加体外Th17的发育。针对Th17/Treg轴,可能对中性粒细胞性和糖皮质激素难治性哮喘具有一定治疗作用。

Abstract
The role of T-helper type 17 (Th17) responses in airway remodeling in asthma is currently unknown. We demonstrate that both parenteral and mucosal allergen sensitization, followed by allergen inhalation, leads to Th17-biased lung immune responses. Unlike Th17 cells generated in vitro, lung Th17 cells did not produce tumor necrosis factor-α or interleukin (IL)-22. Eosinophilia predominated in acute inflammation, while neutrophilia and IL-17 increased in chronic disease. Allergen-induced tolerance involved Foxp3-, Helios-, and glycoprotein-A repetitions predominant-expressing regulatory T cells (Treg) and IL-10/interferon-γ priming. This Treg phenotype was altered in inflamed lungs and abrogated by inhalation of IL-17. Using Th17-deficient mice with genetic disruption of gp130 in T cells, we showed that Th17 cells induce airway remodeling independent of the Th2 response. All-trans retinoic acid administration ameliorated Th17-mediated disease and increased Treg activity, while dexamethasone inhibited eosinophilia but not neutrophilia, and enhanced Th17 development in vitro. Targeting the Th17/Treg axis might therefore be therapeutic in neutrophilic and glucocorticoid-refractory asthma.
