Tear Film Immunological Profile in Patients with Ocular Graft Versus Host Disease
Ocular immunology and inflammation(2022)
摘要
ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze and compare the tear immunological profile in ocular GVHD (oGVHD) patients with that in non-oGVHD patients and to correlate them with ocular surface parameters based on the International Chronic Ocular GVHD Consensus Group (ICCGVHD) diagnostic criteria. Methods Tear samples from 20 individuals who underwent allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and were grouped according the presence or absence of oGVHD were analyzed using Bio-Plex assay. Results IL-8 and MIP-1α levels were significantly higher in tears from oGVHD patients compared with those in tears from non-oGVHD patients (p<0.001 and p=0.001, respectively). Tear IL-8 levels correlated significantly with OSDI criteria (ρ=0.5159, p=0.001), ocular hyperemia (ρ=0.469, p=0.002), and corneal staining (ρ=0.339, p=0.032), whereas tear Mip-1α levels correlated with OSDI score (ρ=0.358, p=0.023). Conclusion We demonstrated higher tear levels of IL-8 and MIP-1α in oGVHD patients and significant correlations between theses cytokines and ocular surface parameters based on the ICCGVHDCG criteria.
