Summary: | •Ibrutinib influences the expression of HLA-DR on CLL cells.•Ibrutinib gradually increases HLA-DR levels on circulating monocyte subsets.•Immunomodulatory effect of ibrutinib on CLL, T cells, monocytes is time-dependent.
There is the first evidence of changes in the kinetics of B cell antigen receptor (BCR) internalisation of neoplastic cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) after the short-term and long-term administration of ibrutinib. We aimed to assess the influence of short-term and long-term ibrutinib treatment on the HLA-DR expression on CLL cells, T cells and monocytes. The immunophenotyping of CLL and immune cells in peripheral blood was performed on 16 high-risk CLL patients treated with ibrutinib. After early ibrutinib administration, the HLA-DR expression on CLL cells reduced (P = 0.032), accompanied by an increase in CLL cell counts in peripheral blood (P = 0.001). In vitro culturing of CLL cells with ibrutinib also revealed the reduction in the HLA-DR expression at protein and mRNA levels (P |
