To characterize peripheral blood monocytes in uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIAU).
Peripheral blood monocytes from children with JIA (either with (n = 18) or without uveitis (n = 11)), idiopathic anterior uveitis (IAU; n = 12) and healthy controls (n = 11) were analyzed by flow cytometry.
Percentage of CD14 + CD86+ monocytes and CD86 expression on single cell level were significantly higher in all patient groups than in controls, whereas no major differences existed between patient groups. Frequency of CD39+ (p < 0.05 all groups) and CD73+ monocytes (p = 0.03 JIAU vs controls) was elevated in patients. Disease activity did not influence monocyte phenotypes, but in methotrexate-treated JIAU patients numbers of CCR2+ monocytes were reduced and numbers of CD86+ and CD39+ cells increased.
Children with arthritis or uveitis display a distinct monocytic phenotype when compared to cells from healthy children. Phenotypic changes seem to be neither arthritis- nor uveitis-dependent, but may be modified by treatment.
描述与幼年特发性关节炎(JIAU)相关的葡萄膜炎患者外周血单核细胞的特征。
采用流式细胞术分析 JIA 患儿(伴发(n = 18)或不伴发葡萄膜炎(n = 11))、特发性前葡萄膜炎(IAU;n = 12)和健康对照者(n = 11)外周血单核细胞。
与对照组相比,所有患者组的 CD14+CD86+单核细胞百分比和单细胞水平上的 CD86 表达均显著升高,而患者组之间无明显差异。CD39+(所有组均 p < 0.05)和 CD73+单核细胞(JIAU 与对照组相比 p = 0.03)的频率在患者中升高。疾病活动度未影响单核细胞表型,但在甲氨蝶呤治疗的 JIAU 患者中,CCR2+单核细胞数量减少,CD86+和 CD39+细胞数量增加。
与健康儿童的细胞相比,关节炎或葡萄膜炎患儿表现出独特的单核细胞表型。表型变化似乎既不是关节炎也不是葡萄膜炎依赖性的,而是可以通过治疗来改变。
