dc.description.abstractObjective: T regulatory (Treg) cells play a role in autoimmunity and vitamin D is one of the factors involved in regulation of Treg cells. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the relationship between Treg cells and disease-related parameters and serum vitamin D levels in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) patients. Methods: The percentage of Treg cells were evaluated by flow cytometric analysis and serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)Vit D) levels were determined by commercial available ELISA kit. Results: Thirty eight CSU patients and 30 healthy controls were included in the study. The percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+) and CD4(+)FOXP3(+) T cells in the patient group were found lower than in the control group (p=0.018, p=0.000). No difference was detected between groups in terms of the percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+)FOXP3(+) T cells and the 25(OH) Vit D levels (p=0.192, p=0.218). There was no significant relationship between disease duration, weekly urticaria activity score, autologous serum skin test (ASST), serum 25(OH) Vit D levels and the percentage of Treg cells in CSU patients. Conclusion: The percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+) and CD4(+)FOXP3(+) T cells in CSU patients were observed to be lower than control group independent from the serum 25(OH)Vit D levels, ASST positivity, disease duration and severity. This result suggests that Treg cells are one of the factors involved in the pathogenesis of CSU. / Amaç: T regülatuvar (Treg) hücreler otoimmünitede rol alır ve D vitamini Treg hücre regülasyonunda rol alan faktörlerden biridir. Bu çalışmada kronik spontan ürtiker (KSÜ) hastalarında Treg hücreleri ile hastalık ilişkili parametrelerin ve serum vitamin D düzeyi ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Treg hücrelerinin yüzdeleri flow sitometrik analiz ile serum 25 hidroksi vitamin D (25(OH)Vit D) düzeyi ise ticari hazır ELISA kiti ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 38 KSÜ ve 30 sağlıklı kontrol dahil edildi. CD4+CD25+ ve CD4+FOXP3+ T hücre yüzdesi hasta grubunda kontrol grubuna göre düşük düzeyde bulundu (p=0,018, p=0,000). CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ T hücre yüzdesi ve serum 25(OH)Vit D düzeyi açısından gruplar arasında farklılık saptanmadı (p=0,192, p=0,218). KSÜ hastalarında hastalık süresi, haftalık ürtiker aktivite skoru, otolog serum deri testi (OSDT) ve serum 25(OH)Vit D düzeyi ile Treg hücre yüzdesi arasında anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmedi (p>0,05). Sonuç: Çalışmamızda KSÜ hastalarında CD4+CD25+ ve CD4+FOXP3+ T hücrelerinin serum 25(OH)Vit D, OSDT pozitifliği, hastalık süre ve şiddetinden bağımsız olarak kontrol grubuna göre düşük olduğu gözlendi. Bu sonuç Treg hücrelerinin KSÜ patogenezinde yer alan faktörlerden biri olduğunu düşündürmektedir.
