Abstract:
Objective To study the changes of clonality of T cell receptor (TCR) and complementarity determinative region 3(CDR3) before and after autologous peripheral blood CD34+ stem cell transplantation(auto-PBSCT) for severe/refractory connective tissue disease(CTD). Methods Thirteen patients with severe/refractory CTD were enrolled for auto-PBSCT in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, including systemic lupus erythematosus (8 cases), rheumatoid arthritis(4 cases), and primary Sjogren’s Syndrome(1 case). Blood samples were collected before/after mobilization, 2 weeks, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 18 months post-transplantation. Diversity of TCRBV and CDR3 were showed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and genescan. Results The TCR BV usage and CDR3 spectral pattern of pre-auto-PBSCT CTD patients were revealed skewed pattern and oligoclonality, Which developed severe oligoclonality within 1 months after auto-PBSCT. However, they showed diversity andpoly-clonality 3～6 months after auto-PBSCT. Conclusion Skewed pattern and oligoclonality of TCRBV and CDR3 which implied auto-reactive were depressed after auto-PBSCT, and inclined to change to normal pattern.
