Elevated neutrophils and reduced NK cells are associated with altered tear molecular signatures and clinical sequelae of chronic ocular Stevens-Johnson syndrome

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is characterised as an immuno-inflammatory condition with potentially blinding ocular sequelae. Therefore, we have investigated the ocular surface immune cell profile and correlated it with secreted tear molecular factors and clinical ocular sequelae in SJS patients. 2...

description Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is characterised as an immuno-inflammatory condition with potentially blinding ocular sequelae. Therefore, we have investigated the ocular surface immune cell profile and correlated it with secreted tear molecular factors and clinical ocular sequelae in SJS patients. 21 patients (42 eyes) with chronic ocular SJS and 16 healthy controls (20 eyes) were included in the study. Severity, types of keratopathies and ocular surface (OS) manifestations were determined. OS wash samples from study subjects were used to determine the status of 13 immune cell subsets using flow cytometry. Levels of 42 secreted immuno-inflammatory factors were measured by flow cytometry-based multiplex ELISA in tear samples. Neutrophils (Total, activated), neutrophils/NK cells ratio, neutrophils/T cells ratio were significantly (p

Positive association between neutrophils and chronic ocular surface complication score (COCS) was observed, whereas, a negative association was noted between NK cells and COCS. Tear fluid levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-18, IFNα/β/γ, TNFα, LIF, IL-8, HGF, sTNFR-I, NGAL, Granzyme, Perforins, MMP9/TIMP1 ratio were significantly higher in SJS. Loss of Limbal niche correlated significantly with immune profile and clinical sequelae. Increased neutrophils, decreased NK cells and specific set of altered secreted immuno-inflammatory mediators including bFGF, and IL-8 were observed in SJS patients with different types of keratopathies compared to those without keratopathy. Distinct ocular surface immune profile variations were observed to correlate with clinical stages of chronic ocular SJS.
