[Therapeutic effect of Haobieyangyinruanjianfang on the mouse liver fibrosis caused by schistosomiasis].

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the expression profile of immune effector molecules in peripheral natural killer cells (NK) in patients with chronic hepatitis virus B.

METHODS

According to the infection status, patients were divided into four experiment groups: normal hepatic function and high HBV DNA level group, normal hepatic function and low HBV DNA level group, abnormal hepatic function and high HBV DNA level group and abnormal hepatic function and low HBV DNA level group. The expression of perforin (PF), granzyme B (Gr B), granulysin (GNLY), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) and interferon gamma (IFNr) in NK cells were detected by flow cytometer.

RESULTS

Compared with control group (31.50%+/-27.64%), the expression of GNLY was significantly increased in normal hepatic function and high HBV DNA level group (59.74%+/-30.82%) and normal hepatic function and low HBV DNA level group (61.89%+/-33.30%); the expression of IFNr in normal hepatic function and high HBV DNA level group (39.89%+/-21.30%) and abnormal hepatic function and high HBV DNA level group (37.54%+/-18.79%) was lower than that in normal control group (57.38%+/-23.69%); the expression of PF, GrB, GNLY in abnormal hepatic function and high HBV DNA level group (35.47%+/-29.64%, 66.55%+/-22.92%, 42.03%+/-33.17%) was lower than that in normal hepatic function and high HBV DNA level group (56.98%+/-38.34%, 81.53%+/-19.58%, 59.74%+/-30.82%) and normal hepatic function and low HBV DNA level groups (62.95%+/-31.98%, 84.51%+/-14.57%, 61.89%+/-33.3%); there were positive correlations between ef PF, Gr B, GNLY, TNFa, and IFNr.

CONCLUSION

The expression of IFNr in NK cells from patients with high HBV DNA replication level is lower than that in normal control group; the expression of PF, Gr B and GNLY in NK cells from patients with normal hepatic function is higher than that in NK cells from patients with abnormal hepatic function.
