The phagocytosis of myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) in untreated severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients is significantly stronger than that in remission and healthy controls, and is negatively correlated with levels of white blood cells, platelets, and reticulocytes. Phagocytosis of mDC is positively correlated with IL-2 and IL-4 concentrations, and negatively correlated with CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio.
Background A deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is urgently warranted to achieve better therapeutic effects. The objective of this study was to investigate the phagocytosis of myeloid dendritic cell (mDC) in SAA patients. Methods Myeloid dendritic cells were induced in vitro from bone marrow mononuclear cells from 26 SAA patients and 12 normal controls (HCs). The phagocytosis of mDCs was detected by flow cytometry using FITC-Dextran (40KD), and its correlation with the immune status and severity of the disease was analyzed. Results The phagocytosis of mDC from untreated SAA patients was significantly stronger than that from complete remission group and HC group (p < 0.05). There was no statistical difference between the latter two groups (p > 0.05). The phagocytosis of mDC from SAA patients correlated positively with the concentration of interleukin (IL)-2 (r = 0.389, p < 0.05), and IL-4 (r = 0.556, p < 0.05), negatively with CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio (r = -0.421, p < 0.05). It also had negative correlations with the level of hemoglobin (r = -0.393, p < 0.05), white blood cell (r = -0.436, p < 0.05), platelet (r = -0.431, p < 0.05), and reticulocyte (r = -0.447, p < 0.05). The phagocytosis of mDC does not correlate with the response to IST. Conclusions The increased phagocytosis of mDC in untreated SAA patients may contribute to abnormal activation of T helper (Th) and subsequent cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activation in these patients. It may be involved in the immune pathogenesis of SAA.
