Abstract

Introduction: The progressive immunological impairment associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is partially mediated by the programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/programed death-ligand 1(PD-L1) inhibitory pathway. This investigation aims to evaluate the influence of PD-1 on immune reconstitution in patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy (ART), with data visualized through principal component analysis (PCA).

Materials and methods: Data from 52 ART-treated individuals achieving viral suppression were analyzed over 12 months. CD4+, CD8+, CD19+, and PD-1/PD-L1 expressions were quantified via flow cytometry at baseline and after 12 months, and immune recovery was assessed at CD4+ thresholds of 500 and 800/μL and CD4+/CD8+ ratios of >0.8 and >1.0 using linear and logistic regression. PCA was applied to visualize clustering of immune recovery patterns based on PD-1/PD-L1 expression levels and immune cell counts, with statistical significance evaluated using ANOVA.

Results: The analyzed group of 52 patients was predominantly male (65.4%; n = 34). PD-1/PD-L1 expression showed modest associations with immune recovery. Higher PD-L1 expression on CD3+ T-cells at baseline was associated with a reduced likelihood of recovery to CD4+>500/μL (OR: 0.79; 95%CI: 0.62-0.99; p = 0.04). Linear regression demonstrated that increased PD-L1 on CD4+ T-cells and PD-1 on CD19+ B-cells positively correlated with higher CD4+/CD8+ ratios at follow-up (coefficient: 0.035 and 0.03, respectively; p < 0.02), while logistic regression indicated that higher PD-1 on CD3+ T-cells increased the odds of recovery to CD4+>500/μL (OR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.0036-1.07); = 0.03). Notably, this weak signal may result from a general increase in the number of lymphocytes during therapy. PCA did not reveal significant clustering of immune recovery patterns.

Conclusion: PD-1 and PD-L1 expressions on immune cells are weakly associated with immune recovery metrics in individuals undergoing ART. Further research is needed to explore their role in immune reconstitution and potential clinical applications.

PD-1和PD-1L免疫衰竭受体对HIV感染者免疫重建的影响
导读:与人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染相关的进行性免疫功能损害部分是由程序性细胞死亡蛋白-1 (PD-1)/程序性死亡配体1(PD-L1)抑制途径介导的。本研究旨在评估PD-1对接受抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)患者免疫重建的影响,并通过主成分分析(PCA)将数据可视化。材料和方法:在12个月的时间里,对52名接受art治疗的病毒抑制患者的数据进行了分析。在基线和12个月后通过流式细胞术定量CD4+、CD8+、CD19+和PD-1/PD-L1的表达,并通过线性和逻辑回归评估CD4+阈值为500和800/μL, CD4+/CD8+比值为>.8和>1.0时的免疫恢复情况。基于PD-1/PD-L1表达水平和免疫细胞计数,应用PCA对免疫恢复模式进行可视化聚类,采用方差分析评估统计学意义。结果:分析组52例患者以男性为主(65.4%,n = 34)。PD-1/PD-L1的表达与免疫恢复有一定的相关性。基线时CD3+ t细胞上较高的PD-L1表达与CD4+ bb0 500/μL恢复的可能性降低相关(OR: 0.79; 95%CI: 0.62-0.99; p = 0.04)。线性回归结果显示,CD4+ t细胞PD-L1和CD19+ b细胞PD-1的升高与随访时CD4+/CD8+比值升高呈正相关(系数分别为0.035和0.03,p < 0.02), logistic回归结果显示,CD3+ t细胞PD-1升高可增加恢复到CD4+ 500/μL的几率(OR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.0036-1.07), = 0.03)。值得注意的是,这种微弱的信号可能是由于治疗期间淋巴细胞数量的普遍增加。PCA没有显示免疫恢复模式的显著聚类。结论:在接受抗逆转录病毒治疗的个体中,免疫细胞上PD-1和PD-L1的表达与免疫恢复指标呈弱相关。它们在免疫重建中的作用和潜在的临床应用需要进一步的研究。
