Immunophenotype of myeloid granulocytes: a pilot study for distinguishing myelodysplastic syndrome and aplastic anemia by flow cytometry

Abstract: It is often difficult to distinguish myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) from aplastic anemia (AA) because of the considerable clinical, cytologic histologic similarities between these two disorders; however, distinguishing between AA and MDS is of great importance because there is a higher risk of progression to acute leukemia in patients with MDS compared with AA. Up to now, CD34 + cells in MDS and AA patients have been studied extensively; however, little information is available on myeloid granulocytes. The aim… Show more

“…The present report is the first in the literature to analyze the erythroblast immunophenotype in patients with PRCA. There are previous reports in pathologies with a similar pathophysiology such as aplastic anemia [12,13], however, the number of CD34 + precursors and the inverted CD4/CD8 lymphocyte ratio are described as significant parameters [14]. The present study shows that the immunophenotype coincides with those described in the pathophysiology: the most immature precursors in the erythroid series are affected, portraying that the erythroid maturation arrest in 78% of the cases would be prior to the proerythroblasts.…”

“…In recent years, multi-parameter flow cytometry has improved the diagnosis accuracy of blood diseases to a greater extent. Studies showed that flow cytometry, immunophenotyping are more sensitive than morphological examination on examining bone marrow abnormalities and it requires not that much as morphological examination on sample preparation [25,26] . At present, with clinical test methods becoming more abundant and perfect, it brings greater convenience and assistance for clinicians to diagnose diseases.…”

“…There was a study which adopted FCM and reported significant higher proportions of CD13 + , CD33 + , CD34 + and HLA-DR + granulocytes while lower proportions of CD15 + and CD10 + granulocytes in MDS patients than AA patients and normal people. In addition, CD13 + , CD33 + , CD34 + and HLA-DR + granulocytes were much more abundant during the transition from refractory anemia (RA) to refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB), but CD15 + granulocytes were less abundant [ 5 ]. These data suggest that the immunophenotype of bone marrow granulocytes could bring more benefit in differentiation between MDS and other bone marrow failure disorders.…”
