| Sumario: | Over recent years, the number of patients with tuberculosis has not decreased in the country and in worldwide. This is due to high resistance of the pathogen and changing mechanisms of bacterial perception by the human immune system thus requiring closer examination of the issue. Cell fusion during the formation of pulmonary tuberculous granuloma involves a large number of adhesive events. Importance of α1β1 integrin has been shown for the granuloma integrity during the chronic phase of infection. It has been proven that pulmonary tuberculous granuloma should be monitored, including with the detection of cells expressing CD11c, since they support the continuous priming of T cells at different stages of infection. The aim of this study was to answer the question, if there is a different expression of integrin receptors by immune cells from the patient’s peripheral blood at different stages of the existence of pulmonary tuberculous granuloma? The study involved 38 people: the first group (control) consisted of 15 practically healthy people; a second group included 11 subjects with pulmonary tuberculous granuloma; the condition was first diagnosed 2 to 10 months before the present study. A third group consisted of 12 patients with pulmonary tuberculous granuloma, with primary diagnosis established 12 to 219 months before this study. All the participants underwent a general clinical blood tests using a 5 Diff Mythic 22 AL analyzer (Cormay, Poland). The adhesion markers CD11b, CD11c were detected with a Coulter Epicx XL instrument (Beckman Coulter, USA). The following peripheral blood cell populations were determined: CD14- CD13lowCD11b+, CD14- CD13lowCD11c+, CD14+CD11b+, CD14+CD11c+, CD45+CD3- CD16+CD56+, CD45+CD3- CD16+CD56+CD11b+. Statistical processing of the results was performed in the Windows 10 operating environment (Microsoft Corp., USA), using Statistica v. 12.5 software (StatSoft, USA). Kruskal–Wallis one-way analysis of variance (pk-w), with differences significant at p < 0.017, as well as the Wald–Wolfowitz test (pw-w) at a significance level of p < 0.05 were used as criteria for assessing differences between the compared groups. In addition, cluster and factor analysis were implemented. When studying the role of β2-integrins, we have found that they play an important role in maintaining the existence of pulmonary tuberculous granuloma. An increase in total number of granulocytes, and CD11b-expressing granulocytes, a decrease in the population of lymphocytes, NK cells and NK cells expressing CD11c proved to be distinctive in cases of pulmonary tuberculous granuloma detected 0.5 years before the study. Characteristic changes observed in the study of peripheral blood in the patients with pulmonary tuberculous granuloma detected 9.5 years before the study were as follows: an increase in the leukocyte population, total monocyte number, as well as CD11band CD11c-expressing monocytes. |
