ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of platelet autoantibodies in children with persistent/chronic immune thrombocytopenia (pITP/cITP).Methods Total of 34 children diagnosed with pITP/cITP(14 cases and 20 cases,respectively)in the Department of Hematology and Oncology,Shanghai Children's Hospital from December 2013 to August 2014 were enrolled as the study group,including 20 male and 14 female,the median age of 5 years old.The study also included 20 healthy children (the healthy control group) matched with gender and age,and 24 cases of newly diagnosed ITP (newly diagnosed ITP group) serving as the control groups.Platelet-associated immunoglobulin (PAIg) and platelet-specific autoantibodies on surface of platelets were mea-sured by flow cytometry or flow cytometric bead.Results Significant elevation of PAIgA,PAIgM,PAIgD and specific autoantibodies against glucoprotein(GP) Ⅲa,and GP Ⅱb were demonstrated in children with cITP,as well as specific autoantibodies against GP Ⅰ b,GP Ⅲ a,GP Ⅱ b,and granule membrane protein 140 (GMP140) in children with pITP,compared with the healthy control group(P < 0.05);the levels of GPⅨ,GP Ⅲ a,GMP140 in cITP group and GP Ⅱ b in pITP showed significant declination,compared with the newly diagnosed ITP group(P < 0.05);between piTP group and cITP group,autoantibodies GPⅨ,GP Ⅰ b,GP Ⅱ b,and GMP140 in the latter were much lower(P < 0.05).Significant negative relation between PAIgM and platelet count was found in cITP group (P < 0.05).Receiver operating characte-ristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of GP Ⅲ a autoantibodies was larger than that of other platelet-autoantibodies in pITP/ciTP diagnosis.Conclusions Platelet autoantibodies play a significant role in pITP/ciTP,especially platelet-specific autoantibodies,which show a declining tendency in the course and may be the main mechanism.The detection of GPⅢa specific autoantibody is more advantageous against other autoantibodies in the diagnosis of piTP/ciTP.
