The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia, peripheral immune cells alternations, and leukemia prognosis.
We studied 90 leukemia patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from 2008 to 2015. Their complete clinical laboratory data were collected until 1 year after transplantation.
All patients were serum CMV negative before allo-HSCT. After transplantation, the CMV reactivation group showed increased peripheral CD8 T cells and decreased CD4 T cells and B cells. However, CD8/CD4 ratio and B cells restored by control of CMV infection due to 2 months maximum course of ganciclovir treatment. CMV seropositivity was positively related to leukemia-free survival (LFS) of all recruited leukemia types.
In summary, CMV drives immune cell post-transplantation fluctuation, which also favors LFS of leukemia partly resulted from CD8 T cells.
本研究的主要目的是探讨巨细胞病毒(CMV)病毒血症、外周免疫细胞变化与白血病预后之间的关系。
我们研究了2008年至2015年间接受异基因造血干细胞移植(allo-HSCT)的90例白血病患者。收集他们直至移植后1年的完整临床实验室数据。
所有患者在allo-HSCT前血清CMV均为阴性。移植后,CMV再激活组外周血CD8 T细胞增加,CD4 T细胞和B细胞减少。然而,由于更昔洛韦治疗最长疗程为2个月,CMV感染得到控制后,CD8/CD4比值和B细胞得以恢复。CMV血清阳性与所有纳入的白血病类型的无白血病生存期(LFS)呈正相关。
总之,CMV驱动移植后免疫细胞波动,这也部分地有利于白血病的LFS,其部分原因是CD8 T细胞。
