Frequency of peripheral blood CD161+CD4+ T cells in rheumatoid arthritis
T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods A total of 21 patients diagnosed as RA (14 women and 7 men
at an average age of 55) who hospitalized in our department from June 2009 to June 2010 were enrolled in this study. Another 21 age- and
sex-matched healthy volunteers served as normal control. PBMCs were obtained from RA patients and healthy subjects. CD161 positive T cells were identified by a four-color flow cytometer after ex vivo stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate and ionomycin in the present of brefeldin A (BFA). Results The frequencies of CD161
+
T cells and CD161
+
Th1 cells were significantly decreased within CD4
+
T cells of PBMCs from RA patients
respectively [(27.53±7.34)% vs (22.75±5.11)%
P0.05; (11.35±4.36)% vs (8.21±3.93)%
P0.05
]
which led to a decreased percentage of CD161

and CD161
-
Th1 cells in RA patients. Conclusion The inflammatory response of synovial membrane in RA patients results in the changes of CD161

CD4
+
T cells and CD161
+
Th1 cells
rather than those of the corresponding CD161
-
T cells
which suggests CD161
+
T cells might play an important role in the development of RA.
