| Abstract | Introduction: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the commonest genetically inherited disease (1 in 4,500 newborns) and 70% of people with CF (pwCF) harbour the F508Del mutation, resulting in misfolding and incorrect addressing of the channel CFTR to the epithelial membrane and subsequent dysregulation of fluid homeostasis. Although studies have underscored the importance and over-activation of myeloid cells, and in particular neutrophils in the lungs of people with CF (pwCF), relatively less emphasis has been put on the potential immunological bias in CF blood cells, at homeostasis or following stimulation/infection. Methods: Here, we revisited, in an exhaustive fashion, in pwCF with mild disease (median age of 15, median % FEV1 predicted = 87), whether their PBMCs, unprimed or primed with a 'non specific' stimulus (PMA+ionomycin mix) and a 'specific' one (live Results: 1) we analysed the lymphocytic and myeloid populations present in CF and Control PBMCs (T cells, NKT, Tgd, ILCs) and their production of the signature cytokines IFN-g, IL-13, IL-17, IL-22. 2) By q-PCR, ELISA and Luminex analysis we showed that CF PBMCs have increased background cytokines and mediators production and a partial functional tolerance phenotype, when restimulated. 3) we showed that CF PBMCs low-density neutrophils release higher levels of granule components (S100A8/A9, lactoferrin, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, NE), demonstrating enhanced exocytosis of potentially harmful mediators. Discussion: In conclusion, we demonstrated that functional lymphoid tolerance and enhanced myeloid protease activity are key features of cystic fibrosis PBMCs. |
