To determine the pathophysiologic features of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) associated with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (PML-IRIS) in HIV-infected patients.
In a cross-sectional study, we retrospectively analyzed 11 HIV-infected patients with a firm diagnosis of PML-IRIS. Brain biopsies were collected from 5 patients and their histopathologic features were compared to those of 4 HIV-infected patients with classic PML.
PML-IRIS developed soon after initiation of antiretroviral therapy in late-presenting HIV-infected patients. The lesions from the 5 biopsied PML-IRIS patients were characterized by a reduction in the density of JC virus (JCV)-infected cells when compared to the 4 patients with PML (11.1 ± 3.2/mm² vs 51.2 ± 4.3/mm², p = 0.01). Comparing the 5 patients with PML-IRIS vs the 4 patients with PML, this correlated with an increased accumulation of CD8+ T cells (818.2 ± 192.8/mm² vs 52.5 ± 10.6/mm², p = 0.01), CD20+ B cells (33.4 ± 13.5/mm² vs 0.5 ± 0.5/mm², p = 0.01), and CD138+ plasma cells (177 ± 84.1/mm² vs 0.25 ± 0.25/mm², p = 0.01), while the number of CD68+ macrophages/microglia did not differ. The ratio between CD8+ T cells and JCV-infected cells was 70 times higher in the 5 patients with PML-IRIS. These findings indicate a clear relationship between an enhanced recruitment of CD8+ T cells and the associated control of the JCV infection.
Our data provide in situ evidence that PML-IRIS brain lesions are enriched in cytotoxic CD8+ T cells that engage JCV-infected oligodendrocytes. This leads to a better control of JCV dissemination, but at the cost of oligodendrocyte cell death and demyelination.
确定与 HIV 感染患者免疫重建炎症综合征(PML-IRIS)相关的进行性多灶性白质脑病(PML)的病理生理特征。
在一项横断面研究中,我们回顾性分析了 11 例确诊为 PML-IRIS 的 HIV 感染患者。从 5 例患者中采集了脑活检组织,并将其组织病理学特征与 4 例患有经典 PML 的 HIV 感染患者进行了比较。
在晚期 HIV 感染患者开始接受抗逆转录病毒治疗后不久,PML-IRIS 便出现了。与 4 例 PML 患者相比,5 例 PML-IRIS 患者的活检病变中,JC 病毒(JCV)感染细胞的密度降低(11.1 ± 3.2/mm² vs 51.2 ± 4.3/mm²,p = 0.01)。与 4 例 PML 患者相比,比较这 5 例 PML-IRIS 患者,这与 CD8+T 细胞的积累增加相关(818.2 ± 192.8/mm² vs 52.5 ± 10.6/mm²,p = 0.01),CD20+B 细胞(33.4 ± 13.5/mm² vs 0.5 ± 0.5/mm²,p = 0.01)和 CD138+浆细胞(177 ± 84.1/mm² vs 0.25 ± 0.25/mm²,p = 0.01),而 CD68+巨噬细胞/小胶质细胞的数量没有差异。在 5 例 PML-IRIS 患者中,CD8+T 细胞与 JCV 感染细胞的比值高 70 倍。这些发现表明,CD8+T 细胞的募集增强与 JCV 感染的寡突胶质细胞之间存在明确的关系,从而更好地控制了 JCV 的传播,但代价是少突胶质细胞的死亡和脱髓鞘。
我们的数据提供了原位证据,表明 PML-IRIS 脑病变富含与 JCV 感染的寡突胶质细胞结合的细胞毒性 CD8+T 细胞。这导致 JCV 传播得到更好的控制,但代价是少突胶质细胞死亡和脱髓鞘。
