摘要: 目的 探讨NK细胞在雷公藤甲素(TP)肝损伤过程中的动态变化及作用。方法 C57BL/6雌性小鼠分为对照组,TP给药(600 μg·kg-1)1、3、5、7 d组,抗NK1.1抗体与TP合用1、3、5、7 d组。在不同时间点收集小鼠血液,分离肝脏非实质细胞,通过流式细胞术检测NK细胞、CD4+/CD8+T细胞亚群及细胞因子(IFN-γ、IL-4)的时空变化。结果 TP处理后,肝脏NK细胞比例在1 d显著升高(P<0.05),3~7 d 时CD69+NK细胞持续增加(P<0.05)。细胞因子分泌呈现时间依赖性:5 d时IFN-γ+NK细胞比例升高(P<0.05),而1和7 d以IL4+NK细胞为主(P<0.05)。NK细胞耗竭显著降低血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶(Alanie Transaminase, ALT)水平(P<0.05),减少IFN-γ分泌(P<0.05),使肝脏NK细胞分泌的细胞因子向Th2偏倚(IFN-γ/IL-4比值降低,P<0.05)。此外,TP诱导外周血中CD4+T细胞持续增加(1~7 d均P<0.05)与CD8+T细胞选择性减少(3~5 d, P<0.05),导致CD4+/CD8+比率失衡。结论 肝脏NK细胞在TP肝损伤中发挥作用。

Abstract: Objective To explore the dynamic changes and roles of natural killer (NK) cells in the process of triptolide (TP)-induced liver injury. Methods Female C57BL/6 mice were divided into the control group, the 1, 3, 5, and 7 days of TP administration (600 μg·kg-1) groups, and groups treated with anti-NK1.1 antibody combined with TP for 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. At different time points, the blood of mice was collected and non-parenchymal cells in the liver were isolated for flow cytometry analysis of the temporal changes in NK cells, CD4⁺/CD8⁺ T cell subsets and cytokines (IFN-γ and IL-4). Results After TP treatment, the proportion of liver NK cells significantly increased at day 1 (P<0.05), while CD69⁺ NK cells kept increasing from day 3 to 7(P<0.05). NK cell depletion significantly reduced serum ALT levels (P<0.05) and inhibited IFN-γ production (P<0.05), shifting NK cell-derived cytokines toward a Th2 bias (reduced IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio, P<0.05). Additionally, TP induced a persistent increase in peripheral blood CD4⁺ T cells (days 1-7, P<0.05) and a selective decrease in CD8⁺ T cells (days 3-5, P<0.05), leading to an imbalanced CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio. Conclusion Hepatic NK cells can contribute to TP-induced liver injury.
