Abstract

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a lymphoid neoplasm characterized by the accumulation of mature B cells. The diagnosis is established by the detection of monoclonal B lymphocytes in peripheral blood, even in early stages [monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL)], and its clinical course is highly heterogeneous. In fact, there are well-characterized multiple prognostic factors that are also related to the observed genetic heterogenicity, such as immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IGHV) mutational status, del17p, and mutations, among others. Moreover, a dysregulation of the immune system (innate and adaptive immunity) has been observed in CLL patients, with strong impact on immune surveillance and consequently on the onset, evolution, and therapy response. In addition, the tumor microenvironment is highly complex and heterogeneous (i.e., matrix, fibroblast, endothelial cells, and immune cells), playing a critical role in the evolution of CLL. In this study, a quantitative profile of 103 proteins (cytokines, chemokines, growth/regulatory factors, immune checkpoints, and soluble receptors) in 67 serum samples (57 CLL and 10 MBL) has been systematically evaluated. Also, differential profiles of soluble immune factors that discriminate between MBL and CLL (sCD47, sCD27, sTIMD-4, sIL-2R, and sULBP-1), disease progression (sCD48, sCD27, sArginase-1, sLAG-3, IL-4, and sIL-2R), or among profiles correlated with other prognostic factors, such as IGHV mutational status (CXCL11/I-TAC, CXCL10/IP-10, sHEVM, and sLAG-3), were deciphered. These results pave the way to explore the role of soluble immune checkpoints as a promising source of biomarkers in CLL, to provide novel insights into the immune suppression process and/or dysfunction, mostly on T cells, in combination with cellular balance disruption and microenvironment polarization leading to tumor escape.

摘要

慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)是一种淋巴肿瘤,其特征是成熟 B 细胞的积累。诊断通过在外周血中检测到单克隆 B 淋巴细胞来确立,即使在早期阶段(单克隆 B 细胞淋巴增生症(MBL))也是如此,其临床过程高度异质。事实上,有许多特征明确的预后因素与观察到的遗传异质性有关,例如免疫球蛋白重链可变区(IGHV)突变状态、del17p 和 突变等。此外,在 CLL 患者中观察到免疫系统(先天和适应性免疫)失调,对免疫监视有很大影响,从而影响疾病的发生、发展和治疗反应。此外,肿瘤微环境高度复杂和异质(即基质、成纤维细胞、内皮细胞和免疫细胞),在 CLL 的演变中起着关键作用。在这项研究中,对 67 份血清样本(57 份 CLL 和 10 份 MBL)中的 103 种蛋白质(细胞因子、趋化因子、生长/调节因子、免疫检查点和可溶性受体)进行了系统评估。此外,还对区分 MBL 和 CLL 的可溶性免疫因子的差异图谱进行了评估(sCD47、sCD27、sTIMD-4、sIL-2R 和 sULBP-1)、疾病进展(sCD48、sCD27、sArginase-1、sLAG-3、IL-4 和 sIL-2R),或与其他预后因素相关的图谱,如 IGHV 突变状态(CXCL11/I-TAC、CXCL10/IP-10、sHEVM 和 sLAG-3)。这些结果为探索可溶性免疫检查点作为 CLL 有前途的生物标志物来源铺平了道路,为了解免疫抑制过程和/或功能障碍提供了新的见解,这些障碍主要发生在 T 细胞上,同时还与细胞平衡失调和微环境极化导致肿瘤逃逸有关。
