초록

목 적: 본 연구의 목적은 사람의 동종 조혈모세포이식에서 공여자의 이식편과 환자의 이식 후 말초혈액에서 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포 분획의 분포를 알아보고 급성 이식편대숙주병(GVHD)과 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 동종 조혈모세포이식을 시행 받은 17명의 소아를 대상으로 하였다. 공여자의 이식편과 이식 받은 환자의 이식 후 말초혈액으로부터 얻은 검체를 유세포 분석(flow cytometry)하였다. 공여자의 이식편과 이식 후 1개월과 3개월에 환자의 말초혈액 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포의 분획과 절대 세포수를 알아보았다. 결 과: 공여자의 이식편 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포의 분획은 급성 GVHD 발생군과 비발생군에서 각각 0.90%, 1.06%이었으며 차이가 없었다(P=0.62). 이식편 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T세포의 절대수는 급성 GVHD 발생군과 비발생군이 각각 $6.18{\times}10^5/kg$$25.85{\times}10^5/kg$으로 급성 GVHD 비발생군이 발생군보다 많은 경향을 보였으나 유의성은 없었다(P=0.09). 급성 GVHD 비발생군의 말초혈액 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포는 이식 후 1개월에 2.11%, 3개월에 1.43%로 유의하게 감소하였으나(P=0.028), 급성 GVHD 발생군의 말초혈액 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포는 이식 후 1개월과 3개월에 각각 2.47%와 2.30%로 유의한 차이가 없었다(P=0.50). 결 론: 본 실험을 통하여 저자들은 공여자의 이식편 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T세포의 분포와 이식 후 환자의 급성 GVHD의 관계에 대한 유의성은 검증할 수 없었으며 이식 후 환자의 말초혈액 내 $CD4^+CD25^+$ T 세포에는 조절 T세포보다 GVHD와 연관된 활성화된 T세포의 분획이 더 클 것으로 사료되나 추가적인 조절 T세포의 표지자를 이용한 검증이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose : This study aimed to determine the frequencies of $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells in donor graft and peripheral blood $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells in recipients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and their association with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Methods : Seventeen children who underwent HSCT were investigated. $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells in samples from donor grafts and recipient peripheral blood were assessed by flow cytometry at 1 and 3 months after transplantation. Results : $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cell frequencies in the grafts showed no significant difference between patients with and without acute GVHD (0.90% vs. 1.06%, P=0.62). Absolute $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cell number in grafts were lower in patients with acute GVHD than in those without acute GVHD ($6.18{\times}10^5/kg$ vs. $25.85{\times}10^5/kg$, P=0.09). Patients without acute GVHD showed a significant decrease in peripheral blood $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cell percentage at 3 months compared to those at 1 month after HSCT (2.11% vs. 1.43%, P=0.028). However, in patients with acute GVHD, $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cell percentage at 3 months was not different from the corresponding percentage at 1 month after HSCT (2.47% vs. 2.30%, P=0.5). Conclusion : The effect of frequencies of $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells in donor grafts on acute GVHD after HSCT could not be identified, and the majority of peripheral blood $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells in patients who underwent HSCT may be activated T cells related to acute GVHD rather than regulatory T cells. Further studies with additional markers for regulatory T cells are needed to validate our results.
