In antiretroviral therapy (ART)-treated patients, to determine if AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma (AIDS-NHL) is preceded by: elevated frequency of potentially malignant abnormal activated/germinal center-like B cells, elevated serum prevalence of B-cell stimulatory Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands resulting from HIV infection-associated microbial translocation, dysregulated B-cell TLR expression/signaling, and perturbations in the frequency of immunoregulatory cells.
A case-control study nested with a cohort study of HIV-infected women.
Prediagnostic AIDS-NHL cases (n = 12, collected 1-12 months before diagnosis) and controls (n = 42) from the Women's Interagency HIV Study cohort, were matched for HIV and ART status, age, race, and CD4 lymphocyte count. Serum levels of TLR ligands, the prevalence of malignancy-associated abnormal activated/germinal center-like (CD19CD10CD71CD86AID) B cells, TLR2 expression on B cells, expression of TLR2-modulating micro-RNA, and the frequency of regulatory T and B cells were assessed.
Diagnosis of AIDS-NHL was preceded by a significantly elevated frequency of activated/germinal center-like CD19CD10CD71CD86AID B cells (P = 0.0072), elevated serum prevalence of the TLR2 ligand, and significantly elevated B-cell TLR2 expression (P = 0.0015), positively correlating with the frequency of activated/germinal center-like B cells (rho = 0.7273, P = 0.0144). In cases, a purified subset of activated/germinal center-like B cells exhibited decreased expression of microRNAs that modulate TLR2 signaling, including miR-21, 146a, 146b, and 155. Finally, cases also exhibited significantly elevated frequencies of antitumor immunity inhibitory regulatory B cells (P = 0.0024), but not regulatory T cells.
Our findings suggest that increased microbial translocation and dysregulated TLR expression/signaling, coupled with an elevated frequency of regulatory B cells, precede the diagnosis of AIDS-NHL in HIV-infected ART-treated patients.
在接受抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)的患者中,确定艾滋病相关非霍奇金淋巴瘤(AIDS-NHL)是否在以下情况之前出现:潜在恶性异常活化/生发中心样B细胞频率升高、因HIV感染相关微生物易位导致的B细胞刺激Toll样受体(TLR)配体血清流行率升高、B细胞TLR表达/信号失调以及免疫调节细胞频率紊乱。
一项嵌套于HIV感染女性队列研究的病例对照研究。
从女性机构间HIV研究队列中选取诊断前的AIDS-NHL病例(n = 12,在诊断前1 - 12个月收集)和对照(n = 42),根据HIV和ART状态、年龄、种族以及CD4淋巴细胞计数进行匹配。评估血清中TLR配体水平、与恶性肿瘤相关的异常活化/生发中心样(CD19CD10CD71CD86AID)B细胞的流行率、B细胞上TLR2的表达、调节TLR2的微小RNA的表达以及调节性T细胞和B细胞的频率。
AIDS-NHL诊断前,活化/生发中心样CD19CD10CD71CD86AID B细胞频率显著升高(P = 0.0072),TLR2配体的血清流行率升高,B细胞TLR2表达显著升高(P = 0.0015),与活化/生发中心样B细胞频率呈正相关(rho = 0.7273,P = 0.0144)。在病例中,活化/生发中心样B细胞的一个纯化亚群表现出调节TLR2信号的微小RNA表达降低,包括miR-21、146a、146b和155。最后,病例中抗肿瘤免疫抑制调节性B细胞频率也显著升高(P = 0.0024),但调节性T细胞频率未升高。
我们的研究结果表明,在接受ART治疗的HIV感染患者中,微生物易位增加和TLR表达/信号失调,以及调节性B细胞频率升高,先于AIDS-NHL的诊断出现。
