摘要: Proliferative lupus nephritis (PLN) is the common, severe, and important form of nephritis. Recent report showed that T cells producing Interferon (IFN)gamma (Th1 cells) increased in patients with World Health Organization class IV. However, relation between increase Th1 pathogenesis has been made unclear. The aim this study was to examine chemoattractant mechanism Th1-producing whether vitro IFNgamma secretion from PLN. Th1:Th2 ratio peripheral blood measured by flow cytometry. serum levels IL-2, IFNgamma, IL-13, monocyte protein-1 (MCP-1) IP-10 were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In production assay, CD4(+)T co-cultured IL-12 and/or IL-18. PLN high not correlated cytokine level. This cell tended go toward inflammatory lesion low CD62L expression chemokines. level MCP-1 significantly increased. Lastly, produced addition IL-18, while normal controls did produce. These findings suggest combination inducers chemokine inhibition might be powerful threrapeutic approach
