Abstract:
:Patients in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have a high incidence of bacterial and viral infections. Fifteen non-dialysed (ND), 15 haemodialysed (HD), 15 patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD), and 15 healthy controls were included. T cell proliferation was measured by [3H]thymidine uptake. Apoptosis and cell phenotype were determined by FACS. sTNF-R1, sCD95, interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (sICE), and interleukin (IL)-10 were measured by ELISA. PHA and CD3-driven T cell proliferation were significantly decreased in ESRD patients. CD3(+), CD19(+) B cells, and percentage of CD4(+) T cells were significantly reduced. Percent memory T cells (CD45RO(+)) and cells undergoing apoptosis (CD95(+)/Annexin V+) were significantly increased in ESRF. Moreover, sCD95, sTNFRI, and ICE were significantly increased. Serum level of IL-10, a Th2 cytokine, was enhanced. These findings strongly suggest that in ESRD patients Th1 T cells are selectively susceptible to undergo apoptosis. This observation provides an additional pathophysiological concept in the genesis of Th2 dominance.
