Immunological Parameters in Patients Suffering from Atopic Dermatitis and Either Treated or Non-Treated with Dupilumab
Objective: The aim of the study is to analyze the absolute count of leukocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, T cells, natural killer cells, B cells and to evaluate the expression of functionally important CD23 and CD200 molecules on B cells in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis (AD),...

description | Objective: The aim of the study is to analyze the absolute count of leukocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, T cells, natural killer cells, B cells and to evaluate the expression of functionally important CD23 and CD200 molecules on B cells in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis (AD), (with and without dupilumab therapy). Materials and Methods: We examined 45 patients suffering from AD – 32 patients without dupilumab treatment (10 men, 22 women, average age 35.0 years), 13 patients with dupilumab treatment (7 men, 6 women, average age 43.4 years) and 30 healthy control (10 men, 20 women, average age 44.7 years). Immunophenotype was examined by flow cytometry (Navios Flow Cytometer – Beckman Coulter). The blood count was examined with a Sysmex XN 3000, Sysmex SP10, microscope DI60 for digital morphology evaluating cell division and microscope Olympus BX40. We compared the absolute count of leukocytes and their subsets, T cells (CD4, CD8), natural killers cells, absolute and relative count of B lymphocytes and expression of surface molecules CD23 and CD200 on B cells in AD patients and in control group. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis one-factor analysis of variance with post-hoc (follow-up multiple comparison) and Dunn’s test with Bonferroni modification of significance level were used for statistical analysis. Results: We confirmed the significantly higher number of neutrophils, monocytes and eosinophils and higher expression of CD23 and CD200 on B cells in peripheral blood of AD patients (either with or without dupilumab) therapy. We demonstrated the lower number of CD8+ T cells. Conclusion: We demonstrated the difference in the count of white blood cells populations in patients suffering from AD compared with healthy control. There were a differences in the expression of immunoregulatory molecules CD23 and CD200 on B cells in AD patients (either with or without dupilumab therapy) in comparison to healthy controls. |
