Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are clonal hematological diseases associated with driver mutations in JAK2, CALR, and MPL genes. Moreover, several evidence suggests that chronic inflammation and alterations in stromal and immune cells may contribute to MPN's pathophysiology. We evaluated the frequency and the immunophenotype of peripheral blood monocyte subpopulations in patients with polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (MF). Peripheral blood monocytes from PV (n = 16), ET (n = 16), and MF (n = 15) patients and healthy donors (n = 10) were isolated and submitted to immunophenotyping to determine the frequency of monocyte subpopulations and surface markers expression density. Plasma samples were used to measure the levels of soluble CD163, a biomarker of monocyte activity. PV, ET, and MF patients presented increased frequency of intermediate and non-classical monocytes and reduced frequency of classical monocytes compared to controls. Positivity for JAK2 mutation was significantly associated with the percentage of intermediate monocytes. PV, ET, and MF patients presented high-activated monocytes, evidenced by higher HLA-DR expression and increased soluble CD163 levels. The three MPN categories presented increased frequency of CD56 aberrant monocytes, and PV and ET patients presented reduced frequency of CD80/86 monocytes. Therefore, alterations in monocyte subpopulations frequency and surface markers expression pattern may contribute to oncoinflammation and may be associated with the pathophysiology of MPN.
费城阴性骨髓增殖性肿瘤(MPN)是与 JAK2、CALR 和 MPL 基因驱动突变相关的克隆性血液病。此外,有几项证据表明,慢性炎症以及基质和免疫细胞的改变可能有助于 MPN 的病理生理学。我们评估了真性红细胞增多症(PV)、特发性血小板增多症(ET)和原发性骨髓纤维化(MF)患者外周血单核细胞亚群的频率和免疫表型。从 PV(n=16)、ET(n=16)和 MF(n=15)患者和健康供体(n=10)中分离外周血单核细胞,并进行免疫表型分析以确定单核细胞亚群的频率和表面标记物表达密度。使用血浆样本测量可溶性 CD163(单核细胞活性的生物标志物)的水平。与对照组相比,PV、ET 和 MF 患者的中间和非经典单核细胞频率增加,经典单核细胞频率降低。JAK2 突变阳性与中间单核细胞的百分比显著相关。PV、ET 和 MF 患者的高激活单核细胞,表现为 HLA-DR 表达增加和可溶性 CD163 水平升高。这三种 MPN 类别均表现出 CD56 异常单核细胞频率增加,PV 和 ET 患者表现出 CD80/86 单核细胞频率降低。因此,单核细胞亚群频率和表面标记物表达模式的改变可能有助于肿瘤炎症,并可能与 MPN 的病理生理学相关。
