Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by multifocal areas of demyelization and immune cell infiltration. In the current study, we analysed the frequencies and the phenotypes of “polarized” Th cell subsets in peripheral blood of multiple sclerosis patients (n=38, with low disease duration – 1 year (8 month; 1,5 years) and low EDSS – 1,0 (1,0; 1,5)) and healthy control group (n=48). We show that within CD45RA–CD3+CD4+ subset the frequencies of Th17 and follicular Th (Tfh) cells were signifi cantly higher in patients while the levels of Th1 cells were significantly lower in comparison to control group. Similarly, in central memory CD45RA–CD62L+ Th the relative number of Th1 cells was reduced while frequencies of Tfh subset were increased in MS patients if compared to control. Finally, MS patients showed increased frequency of Th17 and Tfh cells in CD45RA–CD62L– Th subset compared to control while Th1 were lower in patients group. It seems that Th17 cells infiltrating the nervous tissue could be responsible for neutrophil infiltration, while Tfh cells could take part in B-cell-mediated immune response nearby to site of infl ammation and may be accompanied by production of self-reactive antibodies as well as augmented neutrophilic activity.
