ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the influence of anti-HLA-Ⅰ with different mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) on the efficacy of HLA-A and -B gene matching platelet transfusion, so as to provide scientific data for clinical platelet gene matching transfusion strategy. 【Methods】 A total of 81 PTR patients had applied for HLA-Ⅰgene matched platelets from the platelet gene database established by our laboratory, and 28 (MFI <5 000) of them needed further avoiding of partial donor-specific antibodies and they were enrolled as the research subjects. According to the platelet MFI value of HLA-Ⅰ antibody-targeting antigen, they were divided into negative transfusion group (MFI <500) (group A) and positive transfusion groups (MFI≥500) ; the latter were further divided into group B (500≤MFI <1 000), group C (1 000≤MFI <3 000) and group D (MFI≥3 000) according to MFI value. Corrected count increment (CCI) in platelet count was used to compare the platelet transfusion effect in 4 groups. 【Results】 Among 28 platelet recipients with MFI <5 000, 19(67.86%) patients successfully received 72 effective transfusions. The first CCI (×109/L) in groups A, B, C and D were 10.27±7.46, 7.58±4.75 (P>0.05), 17.36±7.63 (P>0.05) and -0.77±2.30 (P<0.05), respectively. There was no statistical difference among group A, B and C. 【Conclusion】 The application of HLA-Ⅰ gene matching platelets in PTR patients can adjust the MFI threshold(<2 000) appropriately according to the patient′s condition without compromising the platelet transfusion effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role of miR-10a in CD4+CD25+Treg-mediated immunosuppression during sepsis and its potential role in immunotherapy for sepsis.Methods Sepsis mouse model was established by cecal ligation and puncture(CLP).Balb/c mice of clean grade were sacrificed 1,3,5,and 7 days after operation.Blood as well as spleen samples were harvested at given intervals.The splenic CD4+CD25+Treg cells and CD4+T cells were isolated by MACS microbeads.Cells were cultured,and phenotypes were analyzed by flow cytometry.The miR-10a expressed in Treg cells were detected by Real-time PCR.After administration of LV-mmu-miR-10a-5p-inhibition,the immunosuppressive function have been detected.Statistical analyses were performed using one-way analysis of variance (SPSS 19.0,Chicago,USA) test followed by Dunnett-t test to compare among three or more groups or by Student's t-test to compare between two groups.Results The percentages of splenic Tregs (CD4+CD25+/CD4+T) was (7.34±1.2)％ in normal group,and the increase in percentage of Tregs in spleen has been observed in septic mice (P＜0.05).The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of Foxp3+Treg was increased in septic mice compared with sham group (P＜0.05).The expression of miR-10a was significantly elevated on CLP 1-7 day (P＜0.05).After down-regulation of miR-10a in septic mice,the percentages of Tregs (CD4+CD25+/CD4+T) was significantly increased in septic mice (P＜0.05),the MFI of Foxp3+Treg was increased in septic mice compared with control group (P＜0.05).The CD4+T cell proliferative activity in CLP-induced mice was significantly suppressed on CLP 3 day compared with sham group (P＜0.05).After down-regulation of miR-10a in septic mice,the CD4+T cell proliferative activity was significantly suppressed compared with control group (P＜0.05).Conclusions Treg plays a critical role in immunosuppression in septic mice.Inhibition of miR-10a in vivo could enhence immunesuppression of CD4+CD25+Treg.Therefore miR-10a may participate in the regulation of CD4+CD25+Treg immunosuppression in sepsis and become the target for immunotherapy.
