- Abstract
- Effector memory T-cells (CD45RO+) may provide pro-inflammatory signals that
contribute to the persistent airway inflammation that is characteristic of asthma, and reduced
apoptosis of these cells may prolong their effects.
The present authors compared apoptosis of CD45RO+ T-cells in the inner airway wall in nonfatal
asthma (n57), fatal asthma (n57) and control (n58) cases. Apoptotic cells were identified using
both the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dNTP nick end-labelling (TUNEL) technique and
cell morphology.
The percentage of CD45RO+ T-cells that were apoptotic was significantly greater in control
cases compared with nonfatal and fatal cases of asthma, respectively, in small (42¡19, 16¡9,
7¡6%), medium (40¡12, 15¡11, 12¡8%) and large airways (42¡15, 23¡18, 18¡12%). The
reduction in the percentage of apoptotic CD45RO+ cells in the cases of asthma was observed in
both blood vessels and the interstitium in large airways.
In conclusion, these data suggest that reduced apoptosis may prolong the active life of effector
memory T-cells in the airways. It is possible that survival signals may be received before cells
migrate into the interstitium of the inner airway wall.
