The effect of chronic endometritis (CE) on the subpopulation of CD4+ T cells, Th1, Th2, Th17, and regulatory T cells in the endometrium is unknown., Method of study:
Lymphocytes were isolated from the endometrium of CE patients (n = 12) and non-CE patients (n = 7). The CD4+ T-cell profile was analyzed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence., Results:
In the endometrium of CE patients, there were significantly more Th1 cells among CD4+ cells and fewer Th2 cells in comparison to non-CE patients. No marked difference was observed in Th17 cells or Foxp3+ Treg cells. Moreover, the proportion of Th1 cells increased and the proportion of Th2 cells decreased as the number of CD138+ cells increased. Furthermore, when the localization of CD138+ cells and CD4+ cells was examined, CD4+ cells were found to be clustered around CD138+ cells in CE patients., Conclusion:
The CD4+ T-cell profile in the endometrium is altered in women with CE. This finding may help to clarify the pathophysiology and development of treatment methods for CE., Journal Article},
