Clinical significance of peripheral blood T lymphocyte apoptosis determination for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-8640.2015.10.001

Abstract

Abstract: Objective

To investigate the correlation of the apoptosis of peripheral blood CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells with lung function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)patients.

Methods

A total of 30 stable COPD patients, 30 acute exacerbation COPD patients and 20 healthy subjects were enrolled. The apoptosis of peripheral blood CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells was determined by flow cytometry. The correlation of T lymphocyte apoptosis with forced expiratory volume 1 second (FEV1%) and FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) was analyzed.

Results

The CD4⁺ T cell apoptosis of COPD group increased significantly with that of healthy control group(P<0.01), and that of acute exacerbation group was higher than that of stable group (P<0.05). The CD8⁺ T cell apoptosis of COPD group was lower than that of healthy control group (P<0.01) . The CD8⁺ T cell apoptosis of acute exacerbation group was lower than that of stable group(P<0.05). CD4⁺ T cell apoptosis was negatively correlated with FEV1% and FEV1/FVC, and CD8⁺ T cell apoptosis was positively correlated with FEV1% and FEV1/FVC (P<0.01).

Conclusions

The apoptosis of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells is closely related to lung function in COPD patients, which can be used as an indicator for the monitor of COPD.
