Abstract
Objective: To compare fibrosis-driving cells in patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with myelofibrosis (MF) (MDS-MF) . Methods: Bone marrow biopsy sections of patients with newly diagnosed PMF and MDS (10 each randomly selected for MF-0/1, MF-2, and MF-3) were stained with specific immunofluorescence antibodies to label Gli1, LeptinR, alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) , CD45, and ProcollagenⅠ. Images captured by confocal microscopy were analyzed by Fiji-ImageJ to calculate the cell counts of Gli1(+), LeptinR(+) cells, and fibrosis-driving cells including α-SMA(+), α-SMA(+)/Gli1(+), α-SMA(+)/LeptinR(+), and ProcollagenⅠ(+)/CD45(+) cells. Results: Patients with PMF and MDS with MF-2/3 had higher LeptinR(+), α-SMA(+), α-SMA(+)/Gli1(+), and Procollagen Ⅰ(+)/CD45(+) cell counts compared with those with MF-0/1 (all P values<0.05) . However, patients with PMF with MF-2/3 presented with higher Gli1(+) and α-SMA(+)/LeptinR(+) cell counts than those with MF-0/1 (P=0.001 and 0.006) , whereas these cells were similar between patients with MDS with MF-0/1 and MF-2/3 (P=0.169 and 0.067) . In patients with MF-0/1, all fibrosis-driving cells did not differ between PMF and MDS (all P>0.05) . However, in patients with MF-2/3, Procollagen Ⅰ(+)/CD45(+) cell counts were higher in patients with PMF compared with those with MDS (P=0.007) , while other fibrosis-driving cell counts were similar between these two groups (all P>0.05) . MF grade and fibrosis-driving cell counts were not correlated with overall survival in patients with either PMF or MDS. Conclusion: α-SMA(+) cells in patients with PMF originated from both Gli1(+) and LeptinR(+) cells, whereas α-SMA(+) cells in patients with MDS-MF only originated from Gli1(+) cells; patients with PMF had higher ProcollagenⅠ(+)/CD45(+) cell counts than those with MDS-MF.
