摘要

Cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) are believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis C based on histological findings of the liver and in vivo experiments. Fas-ligand-Fas and perforin dependent pathways are two major killing systems when CTLs induce their target-cell death. Thus, the present study attempts to determine whether these pathways are activated, and if they are, how they are related in chronic hepatitis C. To investigate the expression of Fas-ligand and perforin, we performed double immunofluorescent staining of liver biopsy specimens from patients with chronic hepatitis C. Fas-ligand and perforin expression was observed in mononuclear cells, and the partial coexistence of the two proteins was observed. Cells expressing both proteins were positive for CD45RO(+) T cells (active T cells), whereas cells expressing perforin were negative for CD68 (macrophages). In the cases which had sustained negative HCV-RNA over 6 months after interferon treatment, Fas-ligand was not expressed, although perforin was slightly detectable. To quantitatively assess the balance of these pathways, hepatic mRNAs of Fas-ligand and perforin were measured by quantitative RT-PCR. The ratio of Fas-ligand-mRNA/perforin-mRNA was significantly correlated with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels (r=0.913). These results suggest that both pathways are activated in chronic hepatitis C and that Fas-ligand-Fas pathway may be predominant in active inflammation.
