Effect of Yiqi Jiedu Prescription-containing Serum on Proliferation of mTEC and Regulatory T Cells in Myasthenia Gravis Patients with Thymus Hyperplasia
To investigate the effect of Yiqi Jiedu prescription-containing serum on the proliferation of medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC) and regulatory T (Treg) cells in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients with thymus hyperplasia.
Method
2
According to serological methods,35 SD rats were adaptively fed for one week and randomized into the low-,medium-, and high-dose Yiqi Jiedu prescription groups,control group, and prednisone group,with seven rats in each group, which were then gavaged with the corresponding drugs for one week for preparing the drug-containing serum. The effect of Yiqi Jiedu prescription-containing serum at different concentrations on the proliferation of mTEC and Treg cells were determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Besides, the effect of mTEC and Yiqi Jiedu prescription-containing serum on Treg cell proliferation were observed through co-culture.
Result
2
Thymocytes were cultured for a period of time. Their mean positive rate revealed by flow cytometry using mTEC characteristic marker Ulex europaeus agglutinin Ⅰ (UEAI) was 92.54%. Treg cells were sorted by magnetic beads. The purity of Treg cells after repeated magnetic bead sorting was as high as 92%. mTEC and Treg cells showed high positive expression rates,and their cell purity met the requirements of subsequent experiments. When the concentration of Yiqi Jiedu prescription-containing serum was 2.5%-15%,it exhibited an inhibitory effect against mTEC and Treg cells. When the concentration was equal to or greater than 20%,it promoted cell proliferation,which was further enhanced with the extension of action time. The results after 48 h of culture showed that compared with the control group,prednisone and low-dose Yiqi Jiedu prescription had no significant effect on the proliferation of these two kinds of cells,but the medium- and high-dose Yiqi Jiedu prescription remarkably reduced their proliferation inhibition rate (
P
<
0.01). After co-culture with mTEC, the control group was not significantly different from the prednisone group and the low-dose Yiqi Jiedu prescription-containing serum group in the proliferation of Treg cells,while the medium- and high-dose Yiqi Jiedu prescription-containing serum groups significantly lowered the proliferation inhibition rate (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
Yiqi Jiedu prescription-containing serum affects the proliferation of mTEC and Treg cells in MG patients with thymus hyperplasia. Compared with the solely cultured Treg cells isolated from MG patients,the Treg cells co-cultured with mTEC exhibit enhanced proliferation in MG patients,suggesting that mTEC can regulate the proliferation of Treg cells. This effect becomes more obvious after the intervention with Yiqi Jiedu prescription-containing serum,indicating that intervention effect of Yiqi Jiedu prescription on Treg cells can be produced during its treatment of mTEC, which may be one of the mechanisms of Yiqi Jiedu prescription-containing serum in alleviating MG.
