To analyze and compare the tear immunological profile in ocular GVHD (oGVHD) patients with that in non-oGVHD patients and to correlate them with ocular surface parameters based on the International Chronic Ocular GVHD Consensus Group (ICCGVHD) diagnostic criteria.
Tear samples from 20 individuals who underwent allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and were grouped according the presence or absence of oGVHD were analyzed using Bio-Plex assay.
IL-8 and MIP-1α levels were significantly higher in tears from oGVHD patients compared with those in tears from non-oGVHD patients (p<0.001 and p=0.001, respectively). Tear IL-8 levels correlated significantly with OSDI criteria (ρ=0.5159, p=0.001), ocular hyperemia (ρ=0.469, p=0.002), and corneal staining (ρ=0.339, p=0.032), whereas tear Mip-1α levels correlated with OSDI score (ρ=0.358, p=0.023).
We demonstrated higher tear levels of IL-8 and MIP-1α in oGVHD patients and significant correlations between theses cytokines and ocular surface parameters based on the ICCGVHDCG criteria.
根据国际慢性移植物抗宿主病共识组(ICCGVHD)的诊断标准,分析和比较眼移植物抗宿主病(oGVHD)患者与非 oGVHD 患者的泪液免疫谱,并将其与眼表参数相关联。
使用 Bio-Plex 检测法分析了 20 名接受异基因造血干细胞移植并根据是否存在 oGVHD 分组的个体的泪液样本。
与非 oGVHD 患者相比,oGVHD 患者的泪液中 IL-8 和 MIP-1α 水平明显更高(p<0.001 和 p=0.001)。泪液 IL-8 水平与 OSDI 标准显著相关(ρ=0.5159,p=0.001),与眼充血(ρ=0.469,p=0.002)和角膜染色(ρ=0.339,p=0.032)也显著相关,而泪液 MIP-1α 水平与 OSDI 评分相关(ρ=0.358,p=0.023)。
我们证明了 oGVHD 患者的泪液中 IL-8 和 MIP-1α 水平更高,并且这些细胞因子与基于 ICCGVHDCG 标准的眼表参数之间存在显著相关性。
