Popis: Background Interaction between TL1A and death receptor 3 (DR3) is associated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although their role in the development of this disease remains not fully explained. Some studies showed elevated expression of TL1A and DR3 in inflamed intestinal tissue but currently there are no reports concerning expression of DR3 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of IBD patients which was the subject of our study. Methods We performed flow cytometry analysis of DR3 expression on CD4(+), CD8(+), CD11c(+), CD14(+) or CD20(+) PBMCs of adults and children with IBD and healthy volunteers with respect to C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in blood. Blood samples were collected from pediatric patients before the beginning of therapy, whereas adults patients were undergoing anti-inflammatory IBD treatment and had much lower CRP levels. Results With regard to appropriate healthy volunteers, children with IBD had elevated percentage of DR3-expressing CD4(+), CD8(+), CD11c(+) and CD20(+) PBMCs which, with the exception of DR3(+) CD11c(+) cells in children with ulcerative colitis, was correlated with CRP level in blood. Adult patients had increased frequency of DR3(+) CD8(+) and CD20(+) PBMCs and their CRP levels correlated only with DR3(+) CD8(+) cells. Conclusions In comparison to healthy volunteers, untreated children with IBD have higher percentage of DR3(+) PBMCs than adults with IBD undergoing anti-inflammatory treatment. In most of the investigated PBMCs populations, the frequency of DR3(+) cells is correlated with the level of CRP. We suggest anti-inflammatory treatment may lead to reduction in the frequency of DR3(+) PBMCs. © 2016 International Clinical Cytometry Society
