RESUMEN

Mucosal-associated invariant T-cells (MAIT) are unconventional T-cells with cytotoxic and pro-inflammatory properties. Previous research has reported contradictory findings on their role in cancerogenesis with data being even scarcer in haematological malignancies. Here, we report the results of a systematic analysis of MAIT cells in treatment-naïve patients with a broad range of haematological malignancies. We analysed peripheral blood of 204 patients and 50 healthy subjects. The pool of haematological patients had a statistically significant lower both the absolute value (median values, 0.01 × 109/L vs. 0.05 × 109/L) of MAIT cells and their percentage (median values 0.94% vs. 2.56%) among T-cells compared to the control group. Separate analysis showed that the decrease in the absolute number of MAIT cells is significant in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia, myeloproliferative neoplasms, plasma cell myeloma, B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, otherwise not specified, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma compared to the control population. Furthermore, in haematological malignancies, MAIT cells overexpress PD-1 (average values, 51.7% vs. 6.7%), HLA-DR (average values, 40.2% vs. 7%), CD38 (average values, 25.9% vs. 4.9%) and CD69 (average values, 40.2% vs. 9.2%). Similar results were obtained when comparing patients with individual malignancies to the control population. Our data show that the depletion of circulating MAIT cells is a common observation in a broad spectrum of haematological malignancies. In addition to their reduced numbers, MAIT cells acquire an activated/exhausted phenotype.

RESUMEN

AIMS: Mucosal Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells are unconventional T cells with anti-infective potential. MAIT cells detect and fight against microbes on mucosal surfaces and in peripheral tissues. Previous works suggested that MAIT cells survive exposure to cytotoxic drugs in these locations. We sought to determine if they maintain their anti-infective functions after myeloablative chemotherapy. METHODS: We correlated the amount of MAIT cells (measured by flow cytometry) in the peripheral blood of 100 adult patients before the start of myeloablative conditioning plus autologous stem cell transplantation with the clinical and laboratory outcomes of aplasia. RESULTS: The amount of MAIT cells negatively correlated with peak C-reactive protein level and the amount of red blood cell transfusion units resulting in earlier discharge of patients with the highest amount of MAIT cells. CONCLUSION: This work suggests the anti-infectious potential of MAIT cells is maintained during myeloid aplasia.
