ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the level of cytokines and their receptors secreted by peripheral blood CD8 + T lymphocytes from vitiligo patients,and to evaluate the influence of tea polyphenols on their secretion.Methods CD8+ T lymphocytes were isolated from the peripheral blood of 12 patients with progressive vitiligo,12 patients with stable vitiligo and 10 healthy controls,and cultured in vitro for 20 days.Then,some CD8+ T lymphocytes were treated with tea polyphenols of 100 mg/L for two days.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was carried out to determine the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) in the culture supernatants of CD8+ T lymphocytes before and after the treatment with tea polyphenols.Analysis of variance and t test were conducted to assess differences in these parameters among these groups and changes between pretreatment and posttreatment,respectively.Results There was a sequential decrease in the level of TNF-α ((191.302 ± 6.077) vs.(175.966 ± 2.467) vs.(173.664 ± 3.600) ng/L,F =4.784,P < 0.05),but a sequential increase in that of IFN-γ ((280.182 ± 36.070) vs.(371.670 ± 24.352) vs.(447.147 ± 8.432) ng/L,F=9.036,P< 0.01) and IL-2R ((8.375 ± 0.161) vs.(8.845 ± 0.161) vs.(9.345 ±0.125) ng/L,F =9.639,P < 0.01) in the culture supernatant of CD8+ T lymphocytes from patients with progressive vitiligo to patients with stable vitiligo and healthy controls.After two days of tea polyphenol treatment,a statistical decrease was observed in the level of TNF-α in the culture supernatant of CD8 + T lymphocytes from patients with progressive vitiligo ((164.797 ± 1.784) ng/L,P < 0.01),patients with stable vitiligo ((166.150 ± 3.576) ng/L,P < 0.05) and healthy controls ((155.028 ± 5.759) ng/L,P < 0.05),but no statistical changes were noted for IFN-γor IL-2R (all P > 0.05) despite a slight elevation in the level of IFN-γin the culture supernatant of CD8+ T lymphocytes from patients with stable vitiligo and in that of IL-2R from all the three groups as well as a mild reduction in that of IFN-γ from patients with progressive vitiligo and healthy controls.Conclusions The changes of cytokines and their receptors secreted by CD8 + T lymphocytes may be associated with the induction and progression of vitiligo.Tea polyphenols may treat vitiligo via suppressing the secretion of TNF-α by CD8+ T lymphocytes.
