Abstract
In this study, the effect of -6 degrees head-down bed-rest on proliferation of T lymphocyte stimulated by phytohemagglutinin, a kind of polyclone T cell activators and cytokines production were observed. The results showed: after 2 d bed-rest, proliferation of T lymphocyte stimulated by phytohemagglutinin decreased significantly; the activity of interleukin-2 trended to decrease; the expression of interleukin-2 receptor tended to increase; the production of interleukin-6 decreased significantly. After 6 d bed-rest, T lymphocyte proliferation restored to normal; the activity of interleukin-2 and expression of interleukin-2 receptor had no change; the production of interleukin-6 decreased significantly. This result demonstrated that -6 degrees bed-rest can decrease T lymphocyte proliferation function, and this decrease may be caused by the reduction of cytokines secretion.
