ABSTRACT: HPV infected cervical cells secrete mediators that are gradually changed and have influence on infiltrating M2 phenotypic monocytes in cervical lesions. However, profiles of circulating immune cells in women with cervical lesions and M2 phenotypic monocyte activity in HPV infected cervical lesions are limited. This study aimed to investigate circulating monocyte populations correlated with M2 phenotype density and its activity in HPV infected cervical lesions. HPV DNA was investigated in cervical tissues using PCR. High risk HPV E6/E7 mRNA was detected using in situ hybridization. CD163 immunohistochemical staining was performed for M2 macrophage. CD163 and Arg1 mRNA expression were detected using real-time PCR. Circulating monocyte subpopulations were analyzed using flow cytometry. CD163 and Arg1 mRNA expression were increased according to cervical lesion severity and corresponding with density of M2 macrophage in HSIL and SCC in stroma and peri-tumoral areas. Additionally, the relationship between M2 macrophage infiltration and high risk HPV E6/E7 mRNA expression was found and corresponded with cervical lesion severity. Circulating CD14+CD16+ and CD14+CD163+ monocytes were elevated in No-SIL and cervical lesions. Interestingly, CD14+CD64+ monocyte was greatly elevated in HSIL and SCC, whereas intracellular IL-10+ monocytes were not significantly different between cervical lesions. The correlation between increasing ratio of circulating CD64+/CD163+ monocyte and density of infiltrating CD163+ monocytes was associated with severity of HPV infected cervical lesions. The elevated circulating CD64+/CD163+ monocyte ratio correlates to severity of HPV infected cervical lesions and might be a prognostic marker in cervical cancer progression.
