摘要: 目的 研究老年人淋巴细胞亚群及其细胞凋亡过程, 探讨中药成分PE对细胞凋亡的调控作用.方法 用间接免疫荧光技术检测淋巴细胞表型, MTT法测定淋巴细胞增殖应答; 用流式细胞仪及自动图象分析来检测细胞凋亡.结果 老年人淋巴细胞比青年人淋巴细胞的增殖应答能力低, CD45 RA+细胞亚群减少, CD45 RA+细胞亚群增多, 后者易发生凋亡.而中药成分PE对老年人淋巴细胞凋亡有抑制作用.结论 老年人淋巴细胞易于细胞凋亡, 取决于活化, 称为活化诱导性细胞死亡, 此在免疫衰老中起着重要作用.研究结果启示可从中药开发细胞凋亡的调节药物.

Abstract: Aim In this study, we investigated the changes of lymphocyte subpopulation and apoptosis process of lymphocytes in the elderly, and the modulatory effect of pollen extract (PE) on apoptosis. Methods Lymphocyte phenotypes were detected using indirect immunofluorescence technique. The proliferation responses were determined by MTT method. Flow cytometry and automatic image analysis were performed to evaluate the apoptosis of lymphocytes. Results The proliferation responses of lymphocytes in the elderly were lower than that in young adults. Decreased CD45 RA+ cells and increased CD45 RA+ cells were found in lymphocyte population of aged people, compared with that of young adults. The CD45 RA+ cells were prone to apoptosis. There is an inhibitory effect of PE on apoptosis of lymphocytes in the elderly. Conclusion It is implied that the susceptibility of lymphocyte in the elderly to apoptosis depends on activation, so called, activation-induced cell death. Present results suggest that apoptosis of lymphocytes in aged people play an important role in the pathogenesis of immunosenescence. Thus, a possibility is open for development of apoptosis-modulating drugs from pollen.
