Aim:This study aims to explore the expression and role of CD72 in B lymphocytes in immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
Methods:The expression level of CD72 in B lymphocytes was detected by flow cytometry in 18 ITP patients and 19 controls of healthy donor or iron-deficiency anemia patients. B cell proliferation was determined by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation (BrdU) in the culture of 17 ITP patients' and 11 controls' peripheral mononuclear cells (PMNCs). The secretion levels of antibodies against human platelet antigens (HPA), as well as B cell proliferation-related cytokine interleukin 1(IL-1) and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in culture supernatants were measured by ELISA.
Results:CD72 was significantly increased in B cells of newly diagnosed or persistent ITP compared with ITP in remission. B cell proliferation in culture with CD72 antibody addition was significantly decreased both in ITP patients and in controls compared with isotype antibody addition. CD72 antibody did not significantly alter HPA antibody level in ITP patients. CD72 antibody increased IL-1 and MIF levels in ITP patients' cell culture supernatant but not in controls.
Conclusion:CD72 expression elevation accompanies the active status of ITP. In vitro addition of CD72 antibody has a negative impact on B cell proliferation. The function of CD72 in B cell proliferation in ITP may be related to IL-1 and MIF secretion.
