BACKGROUND/AIM: CD38 is a cell surface marker commonly present in plasma cells and activated T cells, while CD138 is a representative plasma cell marker. The aim of this study was to describe the expression of cell surface markers including CD38 and CD138, in the tumors of patients with IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD) and extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (EMZL) of the ocular adnexa.
Twenty-four consecutive patients of whom 12 had IgG4-ROD and 12 EMZL were enrolled in this study. Medical records were reviewed for flow cytometry (FCM) results on conventional T-cell markers, B-cell markers, CD38 and CD138.
Positive rates of T-cell markers, CD38 and CD138 were significantly higher in IgG4-ROD than in EMZL (p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively).
Our FCM results on CD38 and CD138 showed that the lymphocyte populations were different between IgG4-ROD and EMZL, which may reflect the different pathophysiology of the two diseases.
背景/目的:CD38 是一种常见于浆细胞和活化 T 细胞表面的标志物,而 CD138 是浆细胞的代表性标志物。本研究旨在描述 IgG4 相关眼病(IgG4-ROD)和眶外淋巴结边缘区 B 细胞淋巴瘤(EMZL)患者肿瘤中细胞表面标志物包括 CD38 和 CD138 的表达情况。
本研究纳入了 24 例连续患者,其中 12 例为 IgG4-ROD,12 例为 EMZL。回顾性分析了常规 T 细胞标志物、B 细胞标志物、CD38 和 CD138 的流式细胞术(FCM)结果。
IgG4-ROD 患者的 T 细胞标志物、CD38 和 CD138 的阳性率明显高于 EMZL(分别为 p<0.01 和 p<0.05)。
我们对 CD38 和 CD138 的 FCM 结果表明,IgG4-ROD 和 EMZL 之间的淋巴细胞群体存在差异,这可能反映了两种疾病不同的病理生理学。
