Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the differences in CD105+ nucleated erythroid cell (NEC) immunophenotypes between myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and megaloblastic anemia (MA) using multiparameter flow cytometry and to screen potential markers. We analyzed bone marrow sample data from 37 patients with MDS, 35 with MA, 53 with iron-deficiency anemia (anemic controls), and 35 without anemia (normal controls). Compared with normal controls, the MDS and MA groups showed a decrease in the proportion of CD117+CD105+NEC and the relative mean fluorescence intensity (RMFI) of CD71 in CD105+NEC, accompanied by an increase in the coefficient of variation (CV) of CD71 and CD36. Additionally, CD36 RMFI of CD105+NEC increased in the MA group. Compared with anemia controls, the MDS and MA groups showed a significant increase in CD36 CV of CD105+NEC, and the CD36 RMFI in the MA group increased while that in the MDS group decreased. The proportions of CD117+CD105+NEC, CD36 CV, and CD36 RMFI in CD105+NEC differed significantly between MDS and MA groups. Among them, CD36 RMFI had good diagnostic performance (area under the curve: 0.844, 95% confidence interval: 0.753-0.935). CD36 RMFI of CD105+NEC may be a helpful marker in differentiating MDS and MA using multiparameter flow cytometry.

Transcriptome analysis of immune cells from Behçet's syndrome patients: the importance of IL-17-producing cells and antigen-presenting cells in the pathogenesis of Behçet's syndrome. Arthritis Res Ther 2022; 24:186. [PMID: 35941595 PMCID: PMC9358821 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-022-02867-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Behçet’s syndrome (BS) is an immune-mediated disease characterized by recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, uveitis, and skin symptoms. HLA-B51, as well as other genetic polymorphisms, has been reported to be associated with BS; however, the pathogenesis of BS and its relationship to genetic risk factors still remain unclear. To address these points, we performed immunophenotyping and transcriptome analysis of immune cells from BS patients and healthy donors. Methods ImmuNexUT is a comprehensive database consisting of RNA sequencing data and eQTL database of immune cell subsets from patients with immune-mediated diseases and healthy donors, and flow cytometry data and transcriptome data from 23 BS patients and 28 healthy donors from the ImmuNexUT study were utilized for this study. Differential gene expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were performed to identify genes associated with BS and clinical features of BS. eQTL database was used to assess the relationship between genetic risk factors of BS with those genes. Results The frequency of Th17 cells was increased in BS patients, and transcriptome analysis of Th17 cells suggested the activation of the NFκB pathway in Th17 cells of BS patients. Next, WGCNA was used to group genes into modules with similar expression patterns in each subset. Modules of antigen-presenting cells were associated with BS, and pathway analysis suggested the activation of antigen-presenting cells of BS patients. Further examination of genes in BS-associated modules indicated that the expression of YBX3, a member of a plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) gene module associated with BS, is influenced by a BS risk polymorphism, rs2617170, in pDCs, suggesting that YBX3 may be a key molecule connecting genetic risk factors of BS with disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, pathway analysis of modules associated with HLA-B51 indicated that the association of IL-17-associated pathways in memory CD8+ T cells with HLA-B51; therefore, IL-17-producing CD8+ T cells, Tc17 cells, may play a critical role in BS. Conclusions Various cells including CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and antigen-presenting cells are important in the pathogenesis of BS. Tc17 cells and YBX3 may be potential therapeutic targets in BS.
