PG - 14-9 LID - 10.1016/j.imlet.2011.10.012 [doi] AB - To determine whether or not maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) is associated with pathogenesis of endogenous uveitis, we analyzed expression of maturation markers, including CD80, CD86, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR, in peripheral blood (PB) DCs for comparison between healthy controls (HCs) and uveitis patients. A total of 21 patients and 16 HCs were included. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using PB DCs during the active phase of intraocular inflammation. CD86 and HLA-DR expression was higher in PB DCs from uveitis patients versus HCs, whereas that of CD80 was not significantly different. Levels of CD86 and HLA-DR expression tended to parallel those of inflammatory activity, and decreased after anti-inflammatory therapy. However, expression of CD86 and HLA-DR, even in remission, was not completely down-regulated to the low levels found in HCs. Our results indicate the maturation of DCs may play a role in the pathogenesis of endogenous uveitis. The relatively high expression of HLA-DR and co-stimulatory molecules even in the quiescence of inflammation suggests maturation of DCs may be associated with chronicity and recurrence of uveitis.
