Abstract

Background: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is a common autoimmune thyroid disease of organ specificity mediated by T cells, the abnormal activation of auto-reactive T cells has close relation with the attack of HT and participates in the attack process of HT. TPOAb and TGAb is important symbols of HT thyroiditis. Most of patients have continuous TPOAb and TGAb level rise. Objective: To assess the relationship between T Lymphocyte Subsets and TPOAb & TGAb Level in Patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Method: 130 clinically diagnosed HT patients are selected as the study object and were divided into high level group and low level group (with 65 cases for each group) as per the expression condition of TPOAb and TGAb; another 40 healthy check-up people are selected as the control group. Flow cytometry is adopted to test the T lymphocyte subsets, and ELISA is adopted to test Th1 cytokine (IL-2, IFN-γ) and Th2cytokine (IL-4, IL-10). Result: CD3⁺T, CD3⁺CD4⁺T and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ of high level TPOAb group and high level TGAb group are obviously higher than that of low level group and the control group, CD3⁺CD8⁺T is obviously lower than that of low level group and the control group; the CD3⁺CD4⁺T of the low level TPOAb group and low level TGAb group is obviously higher than the control group, which has statistic meaning (P<0.05). IL-2 and IFN-γ of the high level TPOAb group and high level TGAb group is obviously lower than the low level group while higher than the control group, and the IL-4 and IL-10 is obviously higher than the low level group and the control group; the IL-2 and IFN-γ of the low level TPOAb group and low level TGAb is obviously higher than that of high level group and the control group, and the IL-4 and IL-10 is obviously lower than that of the high level group and the control group, and the differences all have statistic meaning (P<0.05). Correlation analysis indicates that TPOAb and TGAb are in positive correlation with CD3⁺CD4⁺T and CD4⁺/CD8⁺, while in negative correlation with CD3⁺CD8⁺T. Conclusion: T lymphocyte subsets in the HT patients have obvious correlation with the level of TPOAb and TGAb, and may have close relationship with the occurrence and development of HT.
