摘要: 通过检测奶牛CD3+、CD4+和CD8+淋巴细胞亚群的动态及细胞因子 IL2、IL4在分娩前后21 d内的基因转录水平的变化,以探讨此阶段奶牛免疫机能受损的机理。应用流式细胞术检测CD3+、CD4+、CD8+淋巴细胞亚群的动态变化及实时荧光定量检测细胞因子IL2、IL4 mRNA的表达量。结果表明:血液中CD3+淋巴细胞的比例在产前21 d内占(50.8±4.61)%,产后14 d内降低到(39.21±4.98)%,两者差异极显著(P<0.01);CD4+淋巴细胞在产前21 d内保持较高水平,达(21.38±0.65)%,产后21 d内维持在(6.89±0.32)%的较低水平,且与产前差异显著 (P<0.05);CD8+淋巴细胞的比例在产犊前逐渐升高,到产犊时达到最高水平(16.90±2.02)%,差异显著(P<0.05);CD4+/CD8+淋巴细胞的比率在产前>1,产后<1。IL2 mRNA的表达量在产后0~14 d内下调,之后上升。IL4 mRNA的表达量分娩时期达到最高,随后下降,至第7天降到最低。奶牛在围产期阶段尤其是分娩前后 14 d内机体处于免疫抑制状态,可能是由于自身的CD3+、CD4+和CD8+T淋巴细胞的亚群的数量和比例发生改变及细胞因子IL2、IL4 mRNA表达量下调引起的。

Abstract: To reveal the mechanism of impaired immune function in perpartum period, the dynamic changes of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ in lymphocyte subsets as well as gene transcription level of cytokine IL2 and IL4 in peripheral blood of dairy cows during 21 days before calving to 21 days after it were investigated in the present study. The dynamic changes of Lymphocyte cells CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and the mRNA expression of cytokine IL2, IL4 in peripheral blood were determined by flow cytometry and RTPCR respectively. The results showed that significant difference was found in the proportion of CD3+ in peripheral blood 21 days before calving (50.8±4.61)% and 14 days after caving (39.21±4.98)%, and also was found in the proportion of CD4+ in blood before (21.38±0.65)% and after (6.89±0.32)% calving. The proportion of CD8+ increased to the highest level (16.9±2.02)% during calving (P<0.05). The ratio of CD4+/CD8+ was >1 before calving, and <1 after calving. The mRNA expression of IL2 was the lowest (P<0.05) during 014 days after calving, then gradually increased. The mRNA expression of IL4 increased to the peak during calving, and declined to the lowest level on the 7th day (P<0.01). It was suggested that the immune function of dairy cows was impaired within 21 days before and after calving, especially during the 014 days after caving. This might be caused by the quantity and ratio changes of lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+and CD8+) and the downregulation of the cytokine IL2, IL4 during this critical period.
