OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of low molecular peptide of Mycobacterium tuberculosis heat-resistant antigen (Mtb-HAg-10k) on the production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in peripheral blood T cells and test the feasibility of differential diagnosis between pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) by assessing the number of Mtb-HAg-10k-stimulated IFN-γ-producing T cells.
METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were separated from the peripheral blood of 10 healthy adults, 6 individuals with LTBI and 13 patients with PTB. The PBMCs were cultured in the presence of Mtb-HAg-10k obtained by ultrafiltration centrifugation, with Mtb-HAg and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) as the controls. The proportions of TNF-α- and IFN-γ-producing cells in the T cell subsets were detected by flow cytometry (FCM), and the number of IFN-γ-producing cells from patients with PTB and LTBI was detected with ELISPOT.
RESULTS: Flow cytometry showed that Mtb-HAg-10k exposure resulted in a significantly higher proportion of TNF-α-producing γδT cells than that of IFN-γ-producing γδT cells in the PBMCs (P<0.01). Compared with the PBMCs exposed to PHA, the PBMCs exposed to Mtb-HAg-10k exhibited a significantly greater proportion of γδT cells that produced both TNF-α and IFN-γ (P<0.01) but a significantly lower proportion of αβT cells producing both TNF-α and IFN-γ (P<0.01). Mtb-HAg-10k exposure of the PBMCs caused a significant reduction in the number of IFN-γ-producing cells as compared with Mtb-HAg and PHA treatments (P<0.01), and this reduction was more obvious in PBMCs from patients with PTB than in those from individuals with LTBI (P<0.01).
CONCLUSION: Mtb-HAg-10k can markedly induce γδT cells in the PBMCs to produce TNF-α and IFN-γ, and detection of the number of IFN-γ-producing cells in the PBMCs following Mtb-HAg-10k stimulation helps in the differential diagnosis between pulmonary tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis infection.
