Abstract

Introduction: Interferon a is a type-I interferon molecule with antiviral and antineoplastic properties. Interferon a treatment is also used in the management of uveitis and believed to have immunomodulatory properties demonstrated by increased number of regulatory T cells. The aim of this study was to define the influence of interferon a-2a treatment on monocyte subsets in patients with uveitis. Materials and Methods: Six patients with uveitis and 7 healthy control subjects were included in this study. Blood samples were obtained from the uveitis patients before treatment with interferon a-2a and at the 1st month of treatment (or at clinical remission). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stained with anti-CD16, anti-CD14, anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA-4, anti-LAG-3, anti-TIM-3 and anti-TIGIT antibodies and analyzed with flow cytometry. Data were analyzed with FlowJo software and statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 21.0 software. Results: Six patients with uveitis (5 Behçet’s, 1 Eales disease, mean age: 29.0±3.8 years, 4 male, 2 female) and 7 healthy control subjects (mean age: 28.4±4.9 years, 3 male, 4 female) were included. The number of CD14+ CD16-classical monocytes were increased and CD16+non-classical monocytes were decreased in patients with active uveitis compared to controls (p=0.037 and p=0.045) and this difference disappeared after treatment with interferon a-2a. There was no difference in immune checkpoint receptor expressions between groups at baseline. PD-1 expression increased significantly after interferon a-2a treatment (p=0.01). Conclusion: Interferon a-2a treatment increases the ratio of non-classical monocytes and their expression of PD-1. These changes may be associated with the previously demonstrated immunomodulatory effects of interferon a-2a in patients with uveitis.

Özet

Giriş: İnterferon a antiviral ve antineoplastik etkileri olan bir tip 1 interferon molekülüdür. İnterferon a ayrıca üveit tedavisinde de kullanılmakta olup, bu tedavinin immünomodulatuvar etkisi olduğu düşünülmektedir. Interferon a-2a tedavisinin bu hastalarda regülatör T hücrelerini arttırdığı bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı interferon a-2a tedavisinin üveit hastalarında monosit alt grupları üzerindeki etkisini tanımlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya üveiti olan 6 hasta ile 7 sağlıklı gönüllü dahil edildi. Üveit hastalarından kan örnekleri interferon a-2a tedavisine başlanılmadan önce ve tedavinin 1. ayında (veya klinik remisyon sonrasında) alındı. Periferik kan mononükleer hücreleri anti-CD16, anti-CD14, anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA-4, anti-LAG-3, anti-TIM-3 ve anti-TIGIT antikorları ile boyandı ve akan hücre ölçer ile analiz edildi. Veriler FlowJo yazılımı ile değerlendirildi ve istatistiksel analiz için SPSS 21.0 yazılımı kullanıldı. Bulgular: Üveiti olan 6 hasta (5 Behçet, 1 Eales hastalığı, yaş ortalaması: 29.0 ±3.8 yıl, 4 erkek, 2 kadın) ile 7 sağlıklı kontrol (ortalama yaş: 28.4 ±4.9 yıl, 3 erkek, 4 kadın) çalışmaya katıldı. Aktif üveiti olan hastalarda sağlıklı bireylere kıyasla CD14+ CD16-klasik monosit alt grubu artmış ve CD16+klasik olmayan monosit alt grubu ise azalmıştı (p=0.037 ve p=0.045), ancak bu fark interferon a-2a tedavisi ardından kayboldu. Başlangıçta gruplar arasında immün kontrol noktası reseptörü ekspresyonu açısından anlamlı fark yoktu. İnterferon a-2a tedavisi ardından PD-1 ekspresyonu anlamlı olarak artış gösterdi (p=0.01). Sonuç: İnterferon a-2a tedavisi klasik olmayan monosit alt grubunu ve monositlerin yüzeyinde PD-1 ifadesini artırmıştır. Monositlerde tespit edilen bu değişimler interferon alfa-2a tedavisinin üveit hastalarındaki immünomodulatuvar etkisi ile ilişkili olabilir.
