The impact of HIV co-infection on the plasma immunological biomarker profile of HTLV-1 infected patients was evaluated. The plasma levels of leukotrienes and chemokines/cytokines were quantified by ELISA and Cytometric Bead Array. A total of 138 volunteers were enrolled and divided into two subgroups ("HTLV-1(+)HIV(-)" and "HTLV-1(+)(HIV(+)"), which were categorized according to the HTLV-1-associated neurological disease (AS, pHAM and HAM). Reference controls were BD and HIV mono-infected patients. HAM(+) exhibited higher CD4 T-cell counts as compared to HIV+ mono-infected patients and lower HTLV-1 proviral load as compared to mono-infected HAM(-) patients. AS(+) exhibited higher levels of CysLT, CXCL8/IL-8 and lower levels of CCL5/RANTES as compared to AS(-). Increased levels of IL-6 and TNF with reduced levels of CXCL10/IP10 and CCL5/RANTES were observed in co-infected pHAM(+) as compared to mono-infected pHAM(-). HAM(+) patients revealed an increase in CXCL8/IL-8, CCL2/MCP-1, CXCL-10/IP-10, TNF and a decrease in IL-2 as compared to HAM(-) subgroup.
评估了HIV合并感染对HTLV-1感染患者血浆免疫生物标志物谱的影响。通过酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和细胞计数微球阵列对血浆中白三烯和趋化因子/细胞因子水平进行定量。共招募了138名志愿者,并将其分为两个亚组(“HTLV-1(+)HIV(-)”和“HTLV-1(+)(HIV(+)”),根据HTLV-1相关神经系统疾病(AS、pHAM和HAM)进行分类。参考对照组为BD和HIV单感染患者。与HIV单感染患者相比,HAM(+)患者的CD4 T细胞计数更高;与HAM(-)单感染患者相比,其HTLV-1前病毒载量更低。与AS(-)相比,AS(+)患者的半胱氨酰白三烯(CysLT)、CXCL8/IL-8水平更高,CCL5/RANTES水平更低。与pHAM(-)单感染患者相比,合并感染的pHAM(+)患者中IL-6和TNF水平升高,CXCL10/IP10和CCL5/RANTES水平降低。与HAM(-)亚组相比,HAM(+)患者的CXCL8/IL-8、CCL2/MCP-1、CXCL-10/IP-10、TNF升高,IL-2降低。
