ABSTRACT
Objective The aim of this study was to assess the status of protease-activated receptor-2(PAR-2) expression on the peripheral blood immune cells including dendritic cells(DC) of Wegener's granulo matosis(WG) patients.Methods Flow cytometry was used to analyze the expression of PAR-2 protein on peripheral blood immune cells,DC and DC-like monocytes of healthy controls (HC),inactive,active and different medicine-treated WG patients.Two-tail Mann Whitney non-parametric test was used for statistical analysis.Results There was no difference of PAR-2 expression on PMN,monocytes,lymphocytes and DC between WG patients and HC.However,PAR-2 expression on CD14+CD16+ (t=3.823,P=0.004) and CD64+CD16+ (t=2.652,P=0.024) DC-like monocytes was much higher in WG patients compared with HC.In active WG,expression of PAR-2 was up-regulated on the cell surface of PMN (t=2.690,P=0.013 ),monocytes (t=1.688,P=0.047),lymphocytes(t=1.742,P=0.038),BDCA3+DC(t=2.582,P=0.016),CD11c+DC(t=1.828,P=0.044),CD14+CD16+ (t=3.419,P=0.002)and CD64+CD16+ (t=3.494,P=0.005) DC-like monocytes when compared with inactive WG.PAR-2 expression on these cells was similar between cyclophosphamide (Cyc) and Methotrexate (MTX) treated WG patients.Conclusion PAR-2 expression on immune cells,DC and DC-like monocytes correlates with WG occurrence and development.There is no difference in the effects on PAR-2 expression between various medications.
