ABSTRACT
To investigate the growth and maturation of megakaryocyte progenitors in patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (CITP), plasma clot culture and GPIIIa monoclonal antibody and ABC immuno- histochemical kit were used to assay CFU-Meg and BFU-Meg, and the area and diameter of GPIIIa(+) cells were determined by image analyzer in 33 CITP cases. It was found that CFU-Meg and BFU-Meg were 39.27 +/- 21.44 and 5.62 +/- 3.93 per 2 x 10(5) MNC, respectively, in CITP patients, there were no significant differences with those in control group. While the area of GPIIIa(+) cells was (134.90 +/- 6.08) micro m(2) and diameter was (12.89 +/- 3.66) micro m, those were lower than those in control group. In patients with normal number of megakaryocytes on marrow smears, CFU-Meg and BFU-Meg were 19.43 +/- 7.28 and 4.67 +/- 1.53, respectively, the values were lower as compared to control group. The positive correlation was showed between the total megakaryocytic colonies and the number of megakaryocytes on marrow smears, r = 0.6503, and there was no correlation with blood platelet counts and course of disease. The results suggest that there was a maturation disturbance of megakaryocyte progenitor in CITP patients and lower proliferative potential in patients with normal megakaryocyte counts on marrow smears.
