Objective To study the expression and significance of Th17 cells from peripheral blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Intracelluar flow cytomete detection of IL-17/IFN-γ and IL-17/IL-6 was established using anti-CD3/Anti-CD28/IL-23 as stimulators after isolation of untouched human CD4~+T cells from PBMC. There were three groups in the present study: ①healthy controls group; ② RA stable group; ③RA active group. Results The isolation of untouched human CD4~+T cells from PBMC was effective and its purity was over 90%. The percentage of intracelluar IL-17 in CD4~+ T cells from RA patients was increased significantly. Such percentage in active group (1.54±0.41) was higher than that of stable group (0.70±0.21, P<0.01) and both of them were higher than those of healthy controls (0.42±0.12, P<0.01). Under anti-CD3/Anti-CD28/IL-23 stimulation, the percentage of intracelluar IL-17 was also increased significantly(P<0.01). The porcentage of intracellular IFN-γ was similar to that of IL-17, while that of IL-6 was not significantly different. There is an correlation between IL-17 and IFN-γ or IL-6. Conclusion There is an abnormal expression of IL-17 and IFN-γ in human CD4~+T cells in RA patients, which is related to disease activity . Th17 cells may be used as a new marker for the assessment of RA activity.

Objective To investigate the immunoregulatory effects of bone marrow-derived mesenehy-real stem ceils (BMSCs) combined with leflunomide (LEF) on mice T-lymphocytes in vitro. Methods BMSCs from BALB/c mice were isolated and expanded. The purity of BMSCs was identified by flow cytometry (FCM). The BALB/c mice's spleen lymphocytes were isolated by using EZ-Sep<'TM> Mouse 1X. Under ConA stimulation, spleen lymphocytes were pretreated with LEF, then washed and co-cuhured with BMSCs. We set up four groups to investigate in this study: group A, spleen lymphocytes alone; group B, spleen lymphocytes with BM- SCs; group C, LEF-pretreated spleen lymphocytes alone and the group D, LEF-pretreated spleen lymphocytes with BMSCs. T-lymphocytes proliferation was assessed by MTT. FCM was used to analysis T-lymphocytes apoptosis and surface markers of CD69 and CD28. The mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-10 were detected by real-time RT-PCR. Results In vitro, the T-lymphocytes'values of A570 nm were significantly lower in group B and group C, compared with group A (group B vs group C vs group A, 0.578±0.042 vs 0.502± 0.040 vs 0.778±0.035, P<0.01), while the value of A<,570 nm>in group D was 0.218±0.033, which was also obviously lower than that in group B and group C (P<0.01). There were no suppressing effects on T-lympho-cytes'activation and expression of IL-2 had been observed. The proportion of apoptotic T-lymphocytes in group B and group D were (2.29±0.32)% and (4.22±0.98)%, which was significandy lower than that in group A (8.08±1.20) (P<0.01). The expression of IL-10 in group B and C were also lower than that in group A (group B vs group C vs group A, 0.098±0.039 vs 0.054±0.022 vs 1.000, P<0.01 ). Either, the expression of IL-10 in group D was 0.023±0.015, which was obviously lower than that in group B and group C (P<0.01). Conclusion BMSCs combined with LEF show synergistic immunoregulatary effects on mice's T-lymphoeytes.
