En enfermos con anemia drepanocítica (AD) en estado basal y con crisis vasooclusivas dolorosas (CVOD), se estudió la expresión, en células mononucleares (CMN) y neutrófilos, de las moléculas de adhesión LFA-1, VLA-4, L-selectina e ICAM-1; en sangre periférica (SP), las moléculas VCAM-1 y CD34 y en fracciones de hematíes con diferente densidad, las moléculas VLA-4 y Lutheran, con anticuerpos monoclonales específicos mediante inmunofluorescencia indirecta por citometría de flujo. En ambos grupos de enfermos se observó una disminución significativa en la expresión en las CMN de las moléculas LFA-1 y VLA-4, y de LFA-1 en los neutrófilos de los pacientes en estado basal; disminución de la expresión de la molécula L-selectina en CMN y neutrófilos de pacientes en estado basal. El aumento de las moléculas ICAM-1 (CD54), CD34 y VCAM-1(CD106) en las CMN y sangre periférica de pacientes basales, demuestra la presencia de un estado de activación leucocitario y endotelial permanente determinado por la continua inflamación subclínica. El incremento significativo de ICAM-1 en neutrófilos y CD34 y VCAM-1 en sangre periférica en ambos grupos de pacientes, con mayor aumento de VCAM-1 en los pacientes en crisis, refleja la activación de monocitos, linfocitos, neutrófilos y de células endoteliales durante las CVOD, y la liberación de estas últimas a la periferia. Se observó una mayor expresión de las moléculas LFA-1, L-selectina e ICAM-1 en los neutrófilos de los enfermos con CVOD e incremento significativo de la molécula CD18 en CMN de los pacientes con CVOD, que puede explicarse por la activación de los monocitos en el fenómeno vasooclusivo.In patients with drepanocytemia (DP) in basal state and with crises of painful vaso-occlusive (PVOC) authors studied the expression in mononuclear cells (MNC) and neutrophils, of LFA-1, VLA-4, L-selectine and ICAM-1; in peripheral blood (PB), VCAM-1 and CD34 molecules, and in red blood cells with different density, VLA-4 and Lutheran molecules, with specific monoclonal antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence by flux cytometry. In both groups there was a significant decrease in expression of LFA-1 and VLA-4 molecules MNC and of LFA-1 in neutrophils of patients basal state; decrease in L-selectine molecule expression in MNC and in patients in basal state. Increase of IACM-1 (CD54), CD34 and VCAM-1 (CD106) in MNC and in peripheral blood of basal patients shows the presence of a permanent leukocyte activation state determined by the continuous subclinical inflammation. The significant increase of ICAM-1 in neutrophils and CD34 and VCAM-1 in peripheral blood in both groups of patients with a higher increase of VCAM-1 in patients in crises, shows the monocyte, lymphocyte , neutrophils, and of endothelial cells during the PVOC and the release of these latter to periphery. We note a higher expression of LFA-1, L-selectine and ICAM-1 molecules in neutrophils of patients with PVOC and a significant increase of CD18 molecule in MNC of patients with PVOC that may be explained by monocyte activation in vaso-occlusive phenomenon.
