Effect of Epstein-Barr Virus on Macrophage M2/M1 Migration and EphA2 Expression in Adverse Drug Reactions

June 7, 2024 updated by: Tang Junting, First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University
This study aims to investigate the effect of EBV reactivation or EBV reactivation added with dexamethasone(DXM) in patients with adverse drug reactions(CDR) , through evaluating the levels on monocyte, macrophage M2/M1 and cytokines. To investigate whether expression of EBV receptors EphA2 could specifically influence on EBV activation in CDRs. We performed a prospective longitudinal study on the frequencies of Monocyte, Macrophage, M2/M1 and cytokines included IL-4,IL-13,TNF-α,IFN-γ,IFN-β, CXCL9 and CXCL10 after onset of MPE ,SJS/TEN and control groups. PBMCs collected from peripheral blood were cocultured with EBV or EBV with DXM. We next examined whether EBV or EBV with DXM could have a strong impact on the MOs, Mac, M2/M1 and cytokines and which cytokines could be crucial for the interaction between M2/M1 and EBV, by in vitro cocultures. Finally, EphA2 were detected to evaluate reactivation of EBV.
