PG - 631954 LID - 10.3389/fimmu.2021.631954 [doi] LID - 631954 AB - Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening form of bone marrow failure that is associated with very high mortality. Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen presenting cells (APCs) with powerful movement ability, which is an important factor affecting immune function. The expression of profilin1 (Pfn1) plays an important role in the regulation of cell movement ability. We detected the expression of Pfn1 mRNA in the bone marrow (BM) myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) from patients with SAA using RT-PCR. Next, we examined Pfn1 expression on mDCs using flow cytometry (FCM). We also assessed the relationship between Pfn1 expression and cytokine levels. Our data showed increased Pfn1 mRNA expression in patients with SAA. The expression of Pfn1 in BM mDCs increased in SAA patients. The expression of Pfn1 on mDCs and cytokines (TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma) were positively correlated in the serum of untreated patients with SAA. Taken together, we found that the expression of Pfn1 on mDCs of SAA patients increased, which may affect the function of mDCs. Profilin 1 may be involved in the immunopathogenesis of SAA.
