Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between antiviral restriction factor Sterile Alpha Motif and Histidine-Aspartic acid domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) expression and T cell activation, furthermore, identifying objective indexes of lung-spleen Qi deficiency symptom pattern.

METHODS: We assessed the profile of T lymphocyte subsets, characteristics of SAMHD1 and human leukocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR) expression in lung-spleen Qi deficiency patients. At the same time, people living with human immunodeficiency virus / acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) (PLWHA) without obvious clinical symptoms and healthy donors in this area were used as controls.

RESULTS: Immunohematologic indexes lower CD4 count, lower CD4/CD8 ratio and higher SAMHD1 level were found in lung-spleen Qi deficiency patients. Furthermore, we demonstrated a positive relationship between SAMHD1 and HLA-DR level as well as with interferon factor in lung-spleen Qi deficiency syndrome and patients without obvious clinical signs and symptoms groups.

CONCLUSIONS: These data indicated the positive relationship between SAMHD1 and T cell activation which further elucidated the role of SAMHD1 in cellular immune response. Furthermore, combination of T lymphocyte subsets counts and SAMHD1 level may be used as clinical and biological reference basis for the differentiation and diagnosis of HIV / AIDS traditional Chinese medicine syndromes.
