Sažetak
Aim To assess the correlations of B regulatory cells (Bregs)
and monocyte subsets in peripheral blood with the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-consensus-defined clinical
manifestations of chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGvHD), in
an attempt to establish their role as cellular biomarkers.
Methods This multidisciplinary prospective study enrolled
adult cGVHD patients treated in the University Hospital
Center Zagreb and University of Zagreb School of Medicine. Immunophenotypic subpopulations of CD24highCD38high Bregs (CD27-, CD27+, and total) and monocyte
(classical, intermediate, and non-classical) counts were
correlated with demographic, transplant, and cGVHD-related data. Bivariate correlation analysis was performed to
evaluate the correlations between Bregs and monocytes
subsets and cGVHD organ involvement, as well as cGVHD
severity and immunosuppression intensity.
Results Twenty-two adult patients (54.5% female) with
cGVHD were enrolled. The median (range) age was 44.5
years (24-65). All patients were transplanted for hematologic malignancies and 40.9% had severe NIH cGVHD
global score. The median time from cGVHD diagnosis to
the analysis was 16.6 months (0-176). The organ most frequently affected with cGVHD were the eyes (68.2%), skin
(45.5%), lungs (45.5%), and liver (40.9%). Lower total and
CD27-Bregs counts were correlated with worse cGVHD
severity, higher immunosuppression intensity, and lung
cGVHD, in terms of cell count, but also with skin cGVHD,
in terms of percentages. Patients with liver and joint/fascia cGVHD had a lower percentage of non-classical monocytes and patients with more severe global NIH score had
a higher classical monocytes count.
Conclusion Different organs affected by cGVHD are differently associated with different subpopulations of Bregs
and monocytes.
