Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Relationship of Th17 and Treg in the systemic and local immune environment of biliary atresia (BA) was investigated. Significantly lower frequency of Treg (CD4+CD25+) population in the preoperative systemic circulation, higher mRNA expressions of FoxP3, representative Treg transcriptional factor, in the liver tissue, and the focal distribution of FoxP3 mRNA centering on the portal area, in patients with BA, showed that Treg migrated from the systemic circulation into the liver, especially portal area, demonstrating the possible involvement of Treg in the development and progression of BA. However, there was no evidence for significantly activated Th17-related immunological loop based on the results from plasma concentration analysis by flowcytometry and hepatic mRNA expressions by real-time PCR, concerning Th17 representative cytokines, negating the Th17-related proinflammatory process. Moreover, Treg suppression assay showed the comparatively lower Treg functions in progressive BA.
