妊娠肝内胆汁淤积症患者血清中sVCAM-1及IL-6的测定及意义
摘要 目的 探讨可溶性血管细胞粘附分子1(soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-l, sVCAM-1)及白细胞介素-6(interleukin-6,IL-6)在妊娠肝内胆汁淤积症(Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy ,ICP)发病中的作用。方法 测定49例孕妇血清中sVCAM-1、IL-6水平,其中正常妊娠组15例,ICP组34例,包括轻度14例,重度20例。用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)测定sVCAM-1,用放射免疫法(RIA)测定IL-6。结果 重度ICP患者血中sVCAM-1、IL-6水平均显著高于正常妊娠组(P<0.01),轻度ICP患者与正常妊娠组相比,虽无统计学差异,但有升高趋势,ICP组产后各项指标下降与正常妊娠组无显著性差异(P>0.05)。IL-6与sVCAM-1呈正相关(r=0.435,P<0.01)。结论 ICP患者粘附分子的异常表达可能是ICP发病机制的一个重要环节。IL-6可诱导sVCAM-1的表达。

[Abstract] Objective To investigate circulating levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-l( sVCAM-1) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the peripheral of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP). To reveal the pathogenesis of ICP. Methods Maternal serum sVCAM-1 and IL-6 were determined in 49 women which 15 were normal pregnant women and 34 with ICP. The later were grouped into 14 women with mild, 20 with severe ICP. sVCAM-1 was measured by ELISA and IL-6 by RIA. Results The levels of serum sVCAM-1 and IL-6 were significantly elevated in women with severe ICP compared with control subjects(P<0.01),and the markedly decreased to normal 5 day after delively (P>0.05). The IL-6 levels were positively correlated with sVCAM-1(r=0.435,P<0.01). Conclusion Elevated levels of sVCAM-1 indicate that a primary endothelial cell dysfunction play an important role in the pathogensis of ICP. Elevated sVCAM-1 were associated with IL-6 levels increase.

妊娠肝内胆汁淤积症(Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy ,ICP)是发生于妊娠中晚期以皮肤瘙痒、黄疸,产后症状迅速消失为特征的妊娠期并发症,因易引起胎儿窘迫、早产、死胎、死产而被列为高危妊娠之一。但病因目前仍不明确,最近国内外大量研究表明,ICP的发生与免疫功能的改变有关[1]。可溶性血管细胞粘附分子1(soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-l,sVCAM-1)的含量改变是抗免疫反应的结果。而白细胞介素6(Interleukin-6 ,IL-6)及肿瘤坏死因子-α(Tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)等作为刺激因子,可诱导粘附分子异常表达,本研究通过测定ICP患者血清中可溶性血管细胞粘附分子-1,白细胞介素-6水平作自身对照及与正常妊娠组对照,以探讨二者在ICP发病中的作用。
1 资料与方法
1.1 研究对象 选择2006年1月—2007年9月在我院收治ICP患者34例(ICP组):其中轻度ICP14例、重度20例,ICP的诊断参照文献[2],临床分度标准[3](1)轻度:血清胆红素<21umol/L,直接胆红素<6umol/L,血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)<250u/L,血清天冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)<250u/L。(2)重度:血清胆红素>21umol/L,直接胆红素>6umol/L,ALT>250u/L,AST>250u/L。平均年龄(26.94±2.74)岁,平均孕周(35.13±1.02)周。正常孕妇15例,正常妊娠组平均年龄(27.93±3.86)岁,平均孕周(39.34±0.96)周。所有研究对象排除合并妊娠期高血压疾病、糖尿病、肾病、原发性高血压、肝炎、贫血、胆石症等疾病。由于细胞因子(如IL-8,IL-6等)可能与分娩发动有关,为排除此干扰因素,所有病例均在临产前行剖宫产术。
