脂联素在免疫性血小板减少症患者外周血中的水平及其对 巨核细胞系分化的作用

Objective·To explore the level of adiponectin in the peripheral blood plasma of patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and its effect on the differentiation and maturation of megakaryocytes. Methods·From January 2021 to February 2022, the peripheral blood samples were collected from 46 ITP patients in the Department of Hematology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and 30 healthy controls with corresponding gender and age in the physical examination center. The plasma adiponectin levels in the ITP patients and healthy control (HC) group were detected by using human adiponectin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. And the correlation between adiponectin level and body mass index (BMI) in the ITP patients was analyzed. In terms of cell experiments, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting were used to study the expression of adiponectin receptors (ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2) in the myeloid cell line K562, and the megakaryocyte cell lines MEG-01 and Dami at mRNA and protein levels, respectively. The differentiation of K562 cell line and the maturation of MEG-01 and Dami cell lines were induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). At the same time, the cells were treated with different concentrations of adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon. Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage of CD41+ cells, the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD41, and the proportion of polyploid cells (≥4N). Results·Compared with the HC group, the plasma adiponectin level of the ITP patients significantly increased (P=0.000), and there was no significant correlation between the adiponectin level and the BMI of the patients (P=0.621). RT-qPCR and Western blotting showed that ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 were expressed in K562, MEG-01 and Dami cell lines. The proportion of CD41+ cells in the K562 cell line co-cultured with 10 μmol/L or 20 μmol/L AdipoRon and PMA for 72 h were significantly lower than those in the PMA+DMSO group (P= 0.000). The CD41-MFI (P=0.047) and the proportion of polyploid cells (P=0.003) in the MEG-01 cell line co-cultured with 20 μmol/L AdipoRon and PMA for 72 h were significantly higher than those in the PMA+DMSO group; however, in the Dami cell line, no significant increases of both were found after the treatment of 20 μmol/L AdipoRon and PMA. Conclusion·The adiponectin level is elevated in the peripheral blood plasma of ITP patients. Human myeloid cell line K562, and megakaryocyte cell lines MEG-01 and Dami all express adiponectin receptors ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2. Adiponectin receptor agonists can inhibit megakaryocyte differentiation in vitro, but its effect on megakaryocyte maturation is uncertain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
