Hematologic malignancies,such as lymphoma,myeloma,and myeloid neoplasms,can occur in extramedullary tissues.Traditional histopathological morphology and immunohistochemical staining have lim-itations,including time-consuming specimen processing,prolonged reporting cycles,and relatively low sensi-tivity in cases of limited cell numbers.Flow cytometry offers significant advantages in detecting tissue sam-ples,such as rapid processing,shorter reporting cycles,and high accuracy and sensitivity,making it an effective complement to histopathological and immunohistochemical methods.However,the application of flow cytome-try in tissue sample detection currently lacks standardized protocols for sample collection and preservation,single-cell suspension preparation,antibody panel design for limited samples,data analysis,and result repor-ting.To promote the standardized application of flow cytometry in detecting hematologic tumor cells in tissue samples,the Cell Analysis Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Biotechnology organized experts to develop the Chinese Expert Consensus on Flow Cytometry for Detecting Hematologic Tumor Cells in Tis-sue Samples(hereinafter referred to as the Consensus).This Consensus elaborates on the technical aspects of flow cytometry for tissue sample detection,covering sample processing,antibody panel design,data analysis,reporting content,and quality management.It particularly emphasizes recommended antibody panels and data analysis methods for flow cytometry when tissue sample cell counts are low.This article aims to interpret the key points of the Consensus to facilitate its better application in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE:
To screen anti-tumor drugs that improve antigen processing and presentation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells.
METHODS:
A TCR-like or TCR mimic antibody that can specifically recognize HLA-A*0201:WT1126-134 ( RMFPNAPYL) complex (hereafter referred to as HLA-A2:WT1) was synthesized to evaluate the function of antigen processing and presentation machinery (APM) in AML cells. AML cell line THP1 was incubated with increasing concentrations of IFN-γ, hypomethylating agents (HMA), immunomodulatory drugs (IMiD), proteasome inhibitors (PI) and γ-secretase inhibitors (GSI), followed by measuring of HLA-ABC, HLA-A2 and HLA-A2:WT1 levels by flow cytometry at consecutive time points.
RESULTS:
The TCR-like antibody we generated only binds to HLA-A*0201+WT1+ cells, indicating the specificity of the antibody. HLA-A2:WT1 level of THP-1 cells detected with the TCR-like antibody was increased significantly after co-incubation with IFN-γ, showing that the HLA-A2:WT1 TCR like antibody could evaluate the function of APM. Among the anti-tumor agents screened in this study, GSI (LY-411575) and HMA (decitabine and azacitidine) could significantly increase the HLA-A2:WT1 level. The IMiD lenalidomide and pomalidomide could aslo upregulate the expression of HLA-A2:WT1 complex under certain concentrations of the drugs and incubation time. As proteasome inhibitors, carfilzomib could significantly decreased the expression of HLA-A2:WT1, while bortezomib had no significant effect on HLA-A2:WT1 expression.
CONCLUSION
HLA-A2:WT1 TCR-like antibody can effectively reflect the APM function. Some of the anti-tumor drugs can affect the APM function and immunogenicity of tumor cells.

Objective To explore the intervention effects of lentinan on sodium arsenite (SA) induced hepatotoxicity in mice. Methods Healthy male C57BL/6 mice were used as experimental subjects and divided into 4 groups, namely control group, SA treatment group, lentinan intervention + SA exposure group, and lentinan intervention control group. The mice were given oral SA (10.0 mg/kg.bw, once every other day) for 14 days, and then the liver tissues and serum samples were collected. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) was used to evaluate the characteristics of hepatic pathological damage. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Flow Cytometry (FC) and Western-blotting (WB) were used to detect the levels of hepatic function, oxidative stress, CD4+ type 17 helper T cells (Th17), and inflammatory cytokines. Results Compared with the control group, the arsenic exposure group showed obvious hepatic pathological injury and increased levels of serum ALT (8.78±0.76 vs 5.47±0.49) and AST (12.42±1.87 vs 7.14±0.57), FC experiments showed that the Th17 content in liver tissues increased (67.70±4.94 vs 7.36±1.50), and ELISA showed that the antioxidant GSH content decreased (593.40±23.25 vs 730.94±30.81), and the levels of MDA (74.56±7.63 vs 49.90±6.42) and proinflammatory cytokines IL-17A (162.48±10.75 vs 118.53±7.92) and IL-1β (512.50±24.78 vs 462.48±22.15) increased in hepatic tissues (P < 0.05). Compared with the arsenic exposure group, the lentinan showed a significant antagonistic effect after intervention (P < 0.05). Compared to SA exposure group, WB analysis showed that compared with the arsenic exposure group, the expression levels of IL-17A (0.47±0.08 vs 0.89±0.11) and NLRP3 inflammasome (0.80±0.09 vs 1.09±0.16) in the liver tissues of the lentinan intervention group were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion Lentinan alleviates SA-induced hepatic injury in mice, which may be mediated through the inhibition of Th17-IL-17A inflammatory signaling.

AIM: To explore the expression and significance of forkhead box class O3(FOXO3)and interleukin-2(IL-2)in conjunctival epithelial cells and tears of patients with dry eye(DE).METHODS:A perspective study. A total of 106 DE patients who accepted from March 2019 to March 2021 were prospectively gathered, and 85 healthy subjects in the same period were selected as the control group. The level of FOXO3 in the conjunctival epithelial cells and tear fluid was measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)method; The level of IL-2 in the sample was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent(ELISA)method; The changes in clinical indicators of the ocular surface such as break-up time(BUT), Schirmer Ⅰtest(SⅠt), cornea fluorescein staining(CFS)in DE patients before and after treatment were analyzed; The correlation between the levels of FOXO3 and IL-2 in the conjunctival epithelial cells and tears of DE patients and the relationship between the two and clinical indicators were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.RESULTS:Compared with the control group, the level of FOXO3 in conjunctival epithelial cells and tear fluid in the DE group was obviously reduced, and the level of IL-2 was obviously increased(all P<0.01). Compared with before treatment, the level of FOXO3 in conjunctival epithelial cells and tear fluid of DE patients was obviously up-regulated, and the level of IL-2 was obviously down-regulated(all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the levels of FOXO3 and IL-2 in conjunctival epithelial cells and tear fluid were obviously inversely correlated(r=-0.531, -0.469, all P<0.01). After treatment, BUT and SⅠt indexes of DE patients increased compared with before treatment, while CFS decreased(all P<0.01). The level of FOXO3 in conjunctival epithelial cells of DE patients was obviously directly correlated with BUT and SⅠt(r=0.431, 0.457, all P<0.01), and it was obviously inversely correlated with CFS(r=-0.469, P<0.01), and the level of IL-2 was obviously inversely correlated with BUT and SⅠt(r=-0.416, -0.447, all P<0.01), and it was obviously directly correlated with CFS(r=0.424, P<0.01); tear FOXO3 was positively correlated with BUT and SⅠt(r=0.421, 0.443, all P<0.01), and it was negatively correlated with CFS(r=-0.474, P<0.01), and IL-2 was negatively correlated with BUT and SⅠt(r=-0.408, -0.429, all P<0.01), and it was positively correlated with CFS(r=0.419, P<0.01).CONCLUSION: the level of FOXO3 in conjunctival epithelial cells and tears of DE patients is decreased, and the level of IL-2 is increased. The two of which are closely related to the ocular surface indicators of patients. They are expected to become laboratory auxiliary indicators for clinical monitoring and prognostic evaluation of DE.
