In human blood, two monocyte populations exist, CD14(++)CD16(-) classical monocytes and CD14(+)CD16(+) proinflammatory monocytes, which account for about 10% of total monocytes, but can expand to promote inflammatory conditions. CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes produce large amounts of inflammatory cytokines including TNF-alpha and IL-1. Adacolumn adsorptive carriers adsorb from the blood in the column most of the monocytes/macrophages and granulocytes and this has been associated with clinical efficacy in patients with active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study was to investigate the CD14(+)CD16(+) monocyte profile in patients with IBD and the impact of Adacolumn on this proinflammatory phenotype.
A total of 58 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC, N = 37) or Crohn's disease (CD, N = 21) together with 11 healthy controls were included in this study. Peripheral blood CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes were determined by three-color immunofluorescence and flow cytometry.
The percentage of CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes in patients with active CD was significantly (P= 0.0089) higher than the level in the control group, in patients with quiescent CD (P= 0.0419) or quiescent UC (P= 0.0063). Further, the percentage of CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes in patients with active UC who were on prednisolone (PSL) was less than the level in those not on PSL (P < 0.0001), thus PSL might have a suppressive effect on CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes. Patients with active IBD were each given up to 10 Adacolumn granulocye/monocyte adsorption (GMA) sessions over an 8-wk period. The percentage of CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes decreased dramatically (P= 0.0077 in UC and P= 0.0117 in CD) compared with entry levels.
A significant reduction in peripheral CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes by GMA should mitigate the inflammatory drive and contribute to the clinical efficacy of this procedure. Reduction of CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes by corticosteroids was also seen. Hence, corticosteroids should enhance the efficacy of GMA. This is the first report on CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes being decreased by Adacolumn GMA in patients with IBD.
在人体血液中,存在两种单核细胞群体,即CD14(++)CD16(-)经典单核细胞和CD14(+)CD16(+)促炎单核细胞,后者约占单核细胞总数的10%,但在炎症状态下会增多。CD14(+)CD16(+)单核细胞可产生大量炎性细胞因子,包括肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和白细胞介素-1(IL-1)。吸附柱吸附载体可从血液中吸附大部分单核细胞/巨噬细胞和粒细胞,这与活动性炎症性肠病(IBD)患者的临床疗效相关。本研究旨在调查IBD患者中CD14(+)CD16(+)单核细胞的情况以及吸附柱对这种促炎表型的影响。
本研究共纳入58例溃疡性结肠炎(UC,n = 37)或克罗恩病(CD,n = 21)患者以及11名健康对照者。采用三色免疫荧光和流式细胞术检测外周血CD14(+)CD16(+)单核细胞。
活动性CD患者中CD14(+)CD16(+)单核细胞的百分比显著高于对照组(P = 0.0089),也高于静止期CD患者(P = 0.0419)和静止期UC患者(P = 0.0063)。此外,正在服用泼尼松龙(PSL)的活动性UC患者中CD14(+)CD16(+)单核细胞的百分比低于未服用PSL的患者(P < 0.0001),因此PSL可能对CD14(+)CD16(+)单核细胞有抑制作用。活动性IBD患者在8周内均接受了最多10次吸附柱粒细胞/单核细胞吸附(GMA)治疗。与治疗前水平相比,CD14(+)CD16(+)单核细胞的百分比显著下降(UC患者中P = 0.0077,CD患者中P = 0.0117)。
通过GMA显著降低外周血CD14(+)CD16(+)单核细胞应可减轻炎症驱动,并有助于该治疗方法的临床疗效。皮质类固醇也可使CD14(+)CD16(+)单核细胞减少。因此,皮质类固醇应可增强GMA的疗效。这是关于IBD患者经吸附柱GMA治疗后CD14(+)CD16(+)单核细胞减少的首篇报道。
