INTRODUCTION: Non-segmental vitiligo (NSV) is an immune-mediated skin depigmentation disease. Cytokine-mediated interaction between T lymphocytes and melanocytes leads to death of melanocytes, causing a defect in melanin synthesis and thereby depigmentation. There is an increased population of T-helper cells in the skin lesions as well as in the peripheral circulation in NSV. However, the relative percentage of each T-cell phenotype in the disease pathogenesis is rarely studied.
AIM: To study the immunophenotype of the different T-helper/Treg cell subsets in patients with NSV, in comparison to healthy controls.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 80 patients with NSV and eighty age- and gender-matched healthy controls were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Disease activity was determined by vitiligo index of disease activity (VIDA) scoring. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated by Ficoll-Paque density centrifugation, and T-cell immunophenotyping was done by flow cytometric analysis.
RESULTS: In patients with NSV, we observed an imbalance in T-cell immunophenotype, characterized by an increase in Th1 (p < 0.0001) and Th17 cells (p = 0.01). There is no difference in relative percentage of Th2/Treg cells, as compared to the healthy controls (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant immune-dysregulation with a preponderance of circulatory Th1/Th17 phenotype in NSV patients.
