    摘要

    目的:探讨乙肝病毒相关慢加急性肝衰竭(hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure,HBV-ACLF)患者中多核型髓源性抑制细胞(polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cell,PMN-MDSC)的表达及意义。方法:选取2022年9月 —2023年8月皖南医学院弋矶山医院收治的HBV-ACLF患者40例为研究组,同期在该院诊治或体检的慢性乙肝(chronic hepa- titis B,CHB)患者20例、健康对照(healthy control,HC)10例为对照组,收集临床资料,留取血标本。流式细胞术检测入院当日外周血PMN-MDSC频率,比较研究组和两个对照组外周血PMN-MDSC频率的差异。采用Spearman检验分析HBV-ACLF外周血PMN-MDSC频率与炎症指标、疾病严重度的相关性。分别根据是否合并或继发感染及访视期第28 天预后情况对HBV-ACLF 患者分组,比较各组外周血PMN-MDSC频率的差异。结果:HBV-ACLF组外周血PMN-MDSC频率显著高于CHB组和HC组(P 均<0.001),CHB组和HC组之间PMN-MDSC频率差异无统计学意义。HBV-ACLF外周血PMN-MDSC频率与白细胞计数、中性粒细胞淋巴细胞比值、降钙素原水平、国际标准化比值、总胆红素水平、Child-Turcotte-Pugh评分、终末期肝病模型评分均呈正相关(r=0.347、0.799、0.506、0.450、0.462、0.470、0.481,P均<0.05),与淋巴细胞计数呈负相关(r=-0.428,P < 0.01)。40例HBV- ACLF患者中,合并感染18例,继发感染17例,28 d预后差21例,其外周血PMN-MDSC频率均高于对照组患者,差异有统计学意义(P均<0.001)。结论:HBV-ACLF患者外周血富集PMN-MDSC,其频率与感染风险、疾病严重度及患者短期预后密切相关。

    Abstract

    Objective:To investigate the expression and significance of polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells(PMN- MDSC)in patients with hepatitis B virus - related acute -on -chronic liver failure(HBV -ACLF). Methods:A total of 40 HBV -ACLF patients admitted to Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from September 2022 to August 2023 were selected as the study group,while 20 patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB)and 10 healthy controls(HC)diagnosed or undergoing examinations at the same hospital during the same period were collected as the two control groups. Clinical data were collected and blood samples were obtained. Flow cytometry was used to detect the frequency of peripheral blood PMN-MDSC on the day of admission,and to compare the differences in the frequency of PMN-MDSC between the study group and the two control groups. Spearman’s correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between the frequency of PMN -MDSC and inflammation markers or disease severity. HBV -ACLF patients were further grouped based on whether they had concurrent or secondary infections and the prognosis on day 28 of follow-up, and the differences in PMN -MDSC frequency among groups were compared. Results:The frequency of PMN -MDSC in HBV -ACLF group was significantly higher than that in the CHB group and the HC group(P < 0.001 for both),whereas there was no significant difference in the PMN-MDSC frequency between the CHB and HC groups(P > 0.05). The frequency of PMN-MDSC in HBV-ACLF patients was positively correlated with the white blood cell count,neutrophil - to - lymphocyte ratio,procalcitonin,international normalized ratio,total bilirubin,Child -Turcotte -Pugh score,and the model of end - stage liver disease score(r=0.347,0.799,0.506, 0.450,0.462,0.470,0.481,respectively,all P < 0.05),and negatively correlated with the lymphocyte count(r=-0.428,P < 0.01). Among the 40 HBV-ACLF patients,18 had concurrent infections,17 had secondary infections,and 21 had poor prognosis on day 28, with their peripheral blood PMN - MDSC frequencies significantly higher than those of the control group patients(all P < 0.001). Conclusion:PMN-MDSC are enriched in HBV-ACLF patients and the frequency of PMN-MDSC in peripheral blood is closely related to infection risk,disease severity,and short-term prognosis of patients.

  • 慢加急性肝衰竭(acute⁃on⁃chronic liver failure, ACLF)是以慢性肝病为基础、急性肝内外损伤为诱因、伴有多器官衰竭和早期高病死率的一组临床综合征[1]。我国是乙型肝炎病毒(hepatitis B virus,HBV)感染高负担地区,HBV相关ACLF(HBV⁃ACLF)是临床最常见的肝衰竭类型。HBV⁃ACLF患者28 d病死率高达40%,目前普遍认为,T淋巴细胞等免疫细胞的功能紊乱及伴随的细菌(真菌)感染,是造成HBV⁃ACLF 进展和患者早期高病死率的重要原因[14-5]。除肝移植外,尚缺乏有效降低HBV⁃ACLF患者病死率的干预措施[2-3]。因此,有必要深入研究HBV⁃ACLF患者细胞免疫紊乱的发生机制和潜在干预靶点。

  • 髓源性抑制细胞(myeloid ⁃ derived suppressor cell,MDSC)是一群病理激活、表型异常的髓系来源细胞,可通过多种途径抑制T淋巴细胞等免疫细胞的增殖、活化和迁移。根据来源及形态特征,MDSC 分为单核型MDSC(monocytic MDSC,M⁃MDSC)和多核型 MDSC(polymorphonuclear MDSC,PMN⁃MDSC) 两大亚群,其中PMN⁃MDSC主要通过分泌过量活性氧自由基、精氨酸酶⁃1和前列腺素2发挥免疫抑制功能[6-7]。外周血PMN⁃MDSC表达水平在败血症、活动性结核病等细菌感染病患者中显著升高,并与疾病严重程度、患者预后密切相关[8-10],但关于HBV⁃ACLF患者中PMN⁃MDSC表达及意义的报道不多。本研究探讨HBV⁃ACLF患者外周血PMN⁃MDSC表达水平及其与继发感染风险、疾病严重度及患者短期预后的关联,为HBV⁃ACLF早期干预策略的优化提供思路。

  • 3 讨论

  • M⁃MDSC和PMN⁃MDSC在表型分子、诱导因素、免疫抑制介质等特征上存在不同程度差异,MDSC 亚群构成取决于病原种类、机体免疫应答特征、疾病阶段等因素[6-7]。HBV是一种嗜肝病毒,通过持续诱导适应性免疫应答和固有免疫应答,造成肝细胞损伤及伴随的肝脏炎症、纤维化乃至癌变[11]。多项研究表明,M⁃MDSC 是CHB患者体内MDSC主要亚群,HBsAg和HBeAg是M⁃MDSC扩增的重要诱导因素;M⁃MDSC可通过分泌一氧化氮、精氨酸酶⁃1、白介素⁃10等,抑制HBV特异性CD4+ /CD8+ T淋巴细胞的增殖和活化,导致HBV持续感染与疾病进展[15-17]。当 CHB 发展至终末期肝病阶段,患者体内免疫微环境更加复杂,MDSC 表达水平和亚群构成亦发生一定变化。Zeng 等[18] 研究表明,HBV⁃ACLF 外周血 MDSC水平明显高于CHB,外周血MDSC频率与TBil、 INR、ALT 水平呈明显正相关,与 HBsAg、HBeAg、 HBV DNA水平无相关性。Nan等[19] 研究表明,乙肝肝硬化所致 HCC 患者外周血和肝脏中 PMN⁃MDSC 水平明显高于非HCC患者。

  • 图2 HBV⁃ACLF患者外周血PMN⁃MDSC频率与炎症指标、疾病严重度的Spearman相关性分析

  • Figure2 Spearman correlation analysis of peripheral blood PMN ⁃MDSC frequency with inflammation markers and dis⁃ ease severity in HBV⁃ACLF patients

  • 本研究比较了3组研究对象两群MDSC表达水平差异,结果显示,HBV⁃ACLF外周血两群MDSC频率均高于CHB 组和HC 组,且HBV⁃ACLF 组外周血 PMN⁃MDSC 频率明显高于 CHB 组;CHB 组外周血M⁃MDSC频率明显高于HC组,但2组PMN⁃MDSC频率接近。在此基础上,本研究分析了HBV⁃ACLF 组外周血PMN⁃MDSC频率与炎症指标、合并细菌感染的关系,发现 HBV⁃ACLF组外周血PMN⁃MDSC频率与 WBC、NLR、PCT 呈正相关(与 NLR 的相关性最高),与 LYMT 呈负相关,且 LYMT 在 HBV ⁃ACLF、 CHB和HC中呈递减趋势;40例HBV⁃ACLF患者中,基线时合并细菌感染者 18 例(45.0%),其外周血 PMN⁃MDSC 频率明显高于对照组。结合相关文献,以上结果提示PMN⁃MDSC扩增于HBV⁃ACLF阶段而非CHB阶段,HBV⁃ACLF外周血PMN⁃MDSC富集加重了T淋巴细胞的增殖、活化障碍,细菌感染可能是 HBV⁃ACLF患者体内PMN⁃MDSC扩增的重要诱因。

  • 图3 入院时合并感染、住院期间继发感染及28 d预后差HBV⁃ACLF患者与对照组外周血PMN⁃MDSC频率比较

  • Figure3 Comparison of PMN⁃MDSC frequencies in peripheral blood between HBV⁃ACLF patients with co⁃infection on ad⁃ mission,secondary infection during hospitalization,and poor 28⁃day prognosis and controls

  • 目前普遍认为,细菌感染是 HBV⁃ACLF 发生、发展的重要肝外因素,通过诱发内毒素血症、炎性细胞因子风暴及伴随的全身炎症反应综合征,导致凝血系统等肝外器官功能衰竭[20]。多项研究表明,与无细菌感染HBV⁃ACLF患者相比,合并细菌感染者病情进展更快,短期病死率更高[31420]。Darcy等[8] 研究表明,败血症患者体内富集 PMN ⁃MDSC,外周血 PMN⁃MDSC 频率与疾病严重程度呈正相关。Ruan 等[9] 研究表明,与M⁃MDSC相比,外周血PMN⁃MDSC 频率与败血症患者免疫耐受状态相关性更好,PMN⁃ MDSC持续高水平更有助于预测二次感染风险。本研究发现,HBV ⁃ACLF 外周血 PMN ⁃MDSC 频率与 INR、TBil、CTP 评分、MELD 评分均呈正相关;40 例 HBV⁃ACLF患者中,住院期间继发细菌感染者17例 (42.5%),其中二次感染占70.6%,继发细菌感染者外周血PMN⁃MDSC频率明显高于对照组患者;并且所有真菌感染均在细菌感染基础上发生,基线感染谱中真菌感染占比仅为11.1%,继发感染谱中真菌感染占比提升至52.9%,提示PMN⁃MDSC表达上调加重了HBV⁃ACLF患者体内免疫抑制微环境,导致二次感染与疾病进展。本研究进一步比较了不同预后HBV⁃ACLF患者外周血PMN⁃MDSC水平,发现 28 d 预后差的患者外周血 PMN⁃MDSC 频率明显高于预后好的患者,提示外周血PMN⁃MDSC频率可作为 HBV⁃ACLF 患者短期预后评估的免疫炎症指标之一。

  • 本研究存在以下不足:①HBV⁃ACLF样本量偏少,可能造成一定的统计偏倚,也不利于计算外周血 PMN⁃MDSC 频率评估患者短期预后的临界值; ②尽管在细菌真菌感染诊断中严格遵从了相应规范、标准,但由于 HBV⁃ACLF 患者存在不同程度的细胞免疫功能障碍,加上腹腔积液、外周血等微生物培养的阳性率不高且耗时偏长,对合并或继发细菌真菌感染的判读可能不够准确。今后需通过增加样本量、应用新型病原学诊断方法(如靶向二代测序、细菌核酸检测)等进一步研究。

  • 综上所述,本研究发现,HBV⁃ACLF患者外周血 PMN⁃MDSC 富集,其频率与继发感染风险、疾病严重度及患者短期预后密切相关。本研究有助于完善HBV⁃ACLF细胞免疫紊乱的形成机制,并为HBV⁃ ACLF干预措施的优化提供理论依据。
