Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression level of Th9 cells in peripheral blood of patients with
primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and its relationship with liver function indexes and Mayo score. Methods
Total of 50 patients with PBC admitted to Shiyan People’s Hospital of Baoan District from January 2017
to January 2019 were included as PBC group and 50 patients with abnormal immune system who received
treatment in our hospital at the same time were selected as control group. Flow cytometry were used to detect
the expression level of Th9 cells in peripheral blood. Automatic biochemical tester were used to detect the
biochemical indicators of the patients, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase
(AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamine transpeptidase (γ-GT), total bilirubin (TBil), albumin
(ALB) and prothrombin time (PT). Mayo score was also calculated. Indirect immunofluorescence was used
to detect the expression of anti-mitochondrial antibodies. Edema score was double-blind evaluated by 2~3
experienced physicians according to the symptoms of the patients. Real-time fluorescence quantitative
polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the relative expression of purine-rich box 1 (PU-1) and
transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Pearson correlation
analysis was used to analyze the relationship among blood Th9 cell expression level, liver function indexes
and Mayo score of patients with PBC. Results PT [(13.42 ± 1.34) s vs (7.05 ± 1.01) s], ALP [(391.42 ±
182.39) U/L vs (63.29 ± 20.71) U/L], AST [(147.20 ± 60.28) U/L vs (19.04 ± 7.23) U/L], ALT [(166.19 ±
80.34) U/L vs (24.12 ± 10.38) U/L], γ-GT [(442.08 ± 124.47) U/L vs (28.10 ± 13.82) U/L], TBil [(140.58 ±
20.75) μmol/L vs (12.84 ± 3.99) μmol/L], ratio of positive anti-mtDNA antibody [25/50 (50.00%) vs 14/50
(28.00%)], edema score (0.54 ± 0.04 vs 0.15 ± 0.01), ratio of liver morphology reduction [6/50 (12.00%) vs
0/50 (0.00%)], ratio of proliferation of nodules in echo of liver parenchyma [5/50 (10.00%) vs 0/50 (0.00%)], ratio
of intrahepatic bile duct wall enhancement [26/50 (52.00%) vs 1/50 (2.00%)] and ratio of proportion of granule in
the echo of liver parenchyma [34/50 (68.00%) vs 2/50 (4.00%)] of patients in PBC group were significantly higher
than those in control group, while ALB level [(31.29 ± 7.45) g/L vs (45.12 ± 1.88) g/L] was significantly lower than
that in control group (all P < 0.05). The percentage of Th9 subgroup [(1.68 ± 0.32)% vs (0.19 ± 0.04)%] and Mayo
score (6.45 ± 1.17 vs 2.10 ± 0.48) in peripheral blood of patients in PBC group were significantly higher than those
in control group, the differences were statistically significant (t = 32.670, 24.323; P < 0.001). Pearson correlation
analysis showed that the expression levels of Th9 cells in peripheral blood of patients with PBC were positively
correlated with the levels of AST, ALT, γ-GT, TBil and Mayo score (r > 0, P < 0.05). The relative expression of
PU-1 and TGF-β mRNA of patients in PBC group were significantly higher than those in control group (5.87 ± 1.03
vs 1.34 ± 0.47; 4.33 ± 0.78 vs 1.38 ± 0.51), the differences were statistically significant (t = 28.293, 22.383; P < 0.001).
Conclusions The expression level of Th9 cells in peripheral blood of patients with PBC increased significantly, and
was closely related to liver function indexes and Mayo score. The expression level of Th9 cells may be detected to
effectively reflect the severity of the patient’s disease.
