    摘要:

    目的:探究免疫球蛋白黏蛋白3(T cell immunoglobulin and mucin 3,Tim-3)在IgA肾病(IgA nephropathy,IgAN)发病过程中的作用及其临床意义。方法:real-time qPCR检测41例IgAN患者及同期21例健康对照者外周血单个核细胞(peripheral blood mononuclear cells,PBMC)中Tim-3 mRNA表达水平。流式细胞术检测IgAN患者和健康对照者PBMC中Tim-3阳性细胞比例。记录肾组织活检前24 h尿蛋白定量-尿常规-尿沉渣-镜下红细胞数及血肌酐等临床相关指标。结果:Tim-3 mRNA在IgAN患者PBMC中表达明显升高(0.64 ± 0.27 vs. 0.18 ± 0.09,P < 0.01),且随疾病严重程度逐渐增高,Lee氏Ⅲ-Ⅳ-Ⅴ级患者Tim-3 mRNA水平明显高于Ⅰ和Ⅱ级患者,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05);IgAN患者组PBMC中Tim-3阳性细胞比例显著高于对照组[(1.94 ± 0.77)% vs. (0.59 ± 0.24)%,P < 0.01],且随疾病严重程度存在上升趋势,Lee氏Ⅳ-Ⅴ级患者Tim-3阳性细胞比例高于Ⅰ-Ⅱ-Ⅲ级患者,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05);Tim-3 mRNA和Tim-3阳性细胞比例与尿蛋白定量及血肌酐呈显著正相关。结论:Tim-3在IgAN患者中表达显著上调,并与24 h尿蛋白定量及血肌酐等临床指标相关,提示Tim-3可能参与IgAN的发生发展过程,并可能成为IgAN的潜在预后标志物。

    Abstract:

    Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of Tim-3 in pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy(IgAN)and its clinical significance. Methods:Real time qPCR was performed to detect Tim-3 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)from 41 IgAN patients and 21 normal subjects. The proportion of Tim-3+ cells was assayed by flow cytometry. Results:24-hour proteinuria,serum creatinine,routine urine test,urine sediment examination and red blood cell count at high magnification were recorded before renal biopsy. Results:Tim-3 mRNA expression was increased significantly in IgAN patients compared with that in healthy controls(0.64 ± 0.27 vs. 0.18 ± 0.09,P < 0.01),and there was a nearly positive correlation between pathological grade and expression degree of Tim-3 mRNA. Levels of Tim-3 mRNA expression in patients with grade Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ were higher than those in patients with grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ(P < 0.05). Also,we found that the proportion of Tim-3+ cells in PBMCs from IgAN patients was higher than that from normal controls[(1.94 ± 0.77)% vs. (0.59 ± 0.24)%,P < 0.01]. The proportion of Tim-3+ cells in patients with grade Ⅳ and Ⅴ was higher than that in patients with grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ(P < 0.05). Moreover,the expression of Tim-3 mRNA and the proportion of Tim-3+ cells were significantly positively related to 24-hour proteinuria and serum creatinine. Conclusion:Up-regulation of Tim-3 in IgAN patients was positively correlated with some clinical indexes including 24-hour proteinuria and serum creatinine. Tim-3 may be involved in the pathogenesis of IgAN,and can be a reliable biomarker for evaluating disease severity and prognosis of IgAN.
