ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of REG3α, sST2 and TNFR1 in peripheral blood for risk stratification and prognostic evaluation of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in children.
METHODS: From January 2020 to March 2022, 70 children with aGVHD after allo-HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the research objects, of which 50 cases were mild aGVHD (grade I-II) and 20 cases were severe aGVHD (grade III-IV). 30 healthy children who underwent physical examinations in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. Luminex platform was used to detect the protein expression levels of REG3α, sST2 and TNFR1 during aGVHD occurrence, and the differences between the three groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. According to the outcome of aGVHD treatment within 28 days, the patients were divided into a good prognosis group of 58 cases and a poor prognosis group of 12 cases. The ROC curve was used to analyze the value of REG3α, sST2 and TNFR1 in predicting the prognosis of children with aGVHD.
RESULTS: The peripheral blood levels of REG3α, sST2 and TNFR1 in the mild aGVHD and severe aGVHD groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (P <0.05), and those in the severe aGVHD group were significantly higher than those in the mild aGVHD group (P <0.05). Compared with the good prognosis group, the peripheral blood levels of REG3α, sST2 and TNFR1 in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher ( t =9.27,3.33,2.97; P <0.01). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection of REG3α, sST2 and TNFR1 in predicting the prognosis of children with aGVHD were higher than those of the above indicators detected alone or in pairs.
CONCLUSION: The expression levels of REG3α, sST2 and TNFR1 were related to the severity of aGVHD. The combination of REG3α, sST2 and TNFR1 has a high clinical value in predicting the prognosis of children with aGVHD, which is expected to provide a reliable reference for clinical evaluation of the prognosis of children with aGVHD.
