Cell-mediated amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.

چکیده
We studied a patient with a rare complication of amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (AMT) associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To investigate the underlying pathogenesis of AMT, the effects of peripheral blood T cells and serum on human megakaryocyte progenitor cells were studied using in vitro coculture techniques. Mononuclear bone marrow cells (2 X 10(5) from normal donors produced 33.6 +/- 8.8 (n = 10) colony-forming unit-megakaryocytes (CFU-M) in our plasma clot system. When 2 X 10(5) of the patient's T cells were added to the culture system, the number of CFU-M decreased to only 3.5 +/- 0.6/2 X 10(5) bone marrow cells. No evidence of inhibitory effects was found by the addition of the patient's serum and complement to the culture system. The T cells stored at -80 degrees C on admission were also capable of suppressing autologous CFU-M after recovery from AMT. These results indicate that in vitro suppression of CFU-M from allogenic and autologous bone marrow cells by this patient's T cells provides an explanation for the pathogenesis of AMT associated with SLE.

Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...
متن کاملHematologic manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease. The most common hematologic finding is anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome with recurrent abortion and thrombosis. The autoimmune fibrosis of bone marrow is another manifestation of autoimmune disease especially SLE, that must be correctly differentiated from primary myelofibrosis.
