Cord blood transplantation for adult mature lymphoid neoplasms in Europe and Japan. Blood Adv 2024; 8:640-652.

Abstract
ABSTRACT To clarify the different characteristics and prognostic factors of cord blood transplantation (CBT) in adult patients with lymphoid neoplasms in Europe and Japan, we conducted a collaborative study. Patients aged 18-75 years receiving their first CBT (Europe: single CBT, n = 192; double CBT, n = 304; Japan: single CBT, n = 1150) in 2000-2017 were analyzed. Fewer patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (Europe vs Japan, 26% vs 5%), and older patients (≥50 years) (39% vs 59%) with a higher refined disease risk index (rDRI) (high-very high: 49% vs 14%) were included in the Japanese registry. High-very high rDRI was associated with inferior overall survival (OS) (vs low rDRI, Europe: hazard ratio [HR], 1.87; P = .001; Japan: HR, 2.34; P < .001) with higher progression/relapse risks. Total body irradiation (TBI)-containing conditioning contributed to superior OS both in Europe (vs TBI-reduced-intensity conditioning [RIC], non-TBI-RIC: HR, 1.93; P < .001; non-TBI-Myeloablative conditioning [MAC]: HR, 1.90; P = .003) and Japan (non-TBI-RIC: HR, 1.71; P < .001; non-TBI-MAC: HR 1.50, P = .007). The impact of HLA mismatches (≥2) on OS differed (Europe: HR, 1.52; P = .007; Japan: HR, 1.18; P = .107). CBT for lymphoid neoplasms, especially in those with high rDRI showed poor outcomes despite all the different characteristics in both registries. TBI should be considered in conditioning regimens to improve these outcomes. The different impacts of HLA mismatches call attention to the fundamental differences among these populations.

Antibody-mediated pathogenesis of chronic GVHD through DBY/HLA class II complexes and induction of a GVL effect. Blood 2023; 142:1008-1021.

Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a multiorgan syndrome with clinical features resembling those of autoimmune diseases. Thus, understanding commonalities in the pathophysiology of cGVHD and autoimmune diseases, such as the presence of disease-risk HLA alleles, is imperative for developing novel therapies against cGVHD. Alloantibodies against H-Y antigens encoded on the Y-chromosome are well-described risk factors for cGVHD in female-to-male transplantation. However, because H-Y antigens generally localize intracellularly in the male reproductive organs, how they emerge at affected organ levels remains elusive. Here, by analyzing nationwide registry data stratified per donor-recipient sex, we identified specific HLA class II alleles that contributed to susceptibility to male cGVHD after transplantation from HLA-identical female siblings (HLA-DRB1∗15:02: hazard ratio, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.58; P = .025). Coexpression of HLA-DRB1∗15:02 efficiently transported full-length H-Y antigens, especially DBY, to the surface. The presence of alloantibodies against DBY/HLA class II complexes significantly predicted the occurrence of cGVHD (68.8% vs 31.7% at 1 year; P = .002). Notably, the ability of HLA class II molecules to transport and present DBY to alloantibodies was closely associated with the susceptibility of HLA class II alleles to cGVHD. DBY specifically colocalized with HLA class II molecules on the dermal vascular endothelium in cGVHD and provoked complement-dependent cytotoxicity. Moreover, these complexes were observed in some male leukemic cells. Altogether, these findings suggest that vascular endothelial cells facilitate alloantibody-mediated cGVHD and highlight that alloantibodies against DBY/HLA class II complexes could be common targets for cGVHD and a graft-versus-leukemia effect.

Abstract
HLA-DQ heterodimers increase the susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, but their role in hematopoietic cell transplantation is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that outcome after HLA-matched and HLA-DQ-mismatched hematopoietic cell transplantation is influenced by HLA-DQ heterodimers. Heterodimers were defined in 5164 HLA-matched and 520 HLA-DQ-mismatched patients and their transplant donors according to well-established crystallographic criteria. Group 1 (G1) heterodimers are any DQA1*02/03/04/05/06α paired with any DQB1*02/03/04β. Group 2 (G2) heterodimers are DQA1*01α paired with any DQB1*05/06β. Multivariable models identified significantly higher relapse risk in G1G2 and G2G2 compared with G1G1 HLA-matched patients with malignant disease; risk increased with an increasing number of G2 molecules. In HLA-DQ-mismatched transplantation for malignant diseases, matching or mismatching for G2 increased relapse risk. G2 lowered disease-free survival after both HLA-matched and HLA-DQ-mismatched transplantation. A paradigm based on HLA-DQ heterodimers provides a functional definition of the hematopoietic cell transplantation barrier and a means to lower risks for future patients.

Abstract
Placenta-specific 1 (PLAC1) is expressed primarily in placental trophoblasts but not in normal tissues and is a targetable candidate for cancer immunotherapy because it is a cancer testis antigen known to be up-regulated in various tumors. Although peptide epitopes capable of stimulating CD8 T cells have been previously described, there have been no reports of PLAC1 CD4 helper T lymphocyte (HTL) epitopes and the expression of this antigen in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show that PLAC1 is highly expressed in 74.5% of oropharyngeal and 51.9% of oral cavity tumors from HNSCC patients and in several HNSCC established cell lines. We also identified an HTL peptide epitope (PLAC131-50) capable of eliciting effective antigen-specific and tumor-reactive T cell responses. Notably, this peptide behaves as a promiscuous epitope capable of stimulating T cells in the context of more than one human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR allele and induces PLAC1-specific CD4 T cells that kill PLAC1-positive HNSCC cell lines in an HLA-DR-restricted manner. Furthermore, T-cells reactive to PLAC131-50 peptide were detected in the peripheral blood of HNSCC patients. These findings suggest that PLAC1 represents a potential target antigen for HTL based immunotherapy in HNSCC.

Individual HLAs influence immunological events in allogeneic stem cell transplantation from HLA-identical sibling donors. Bone Marrow Transplant 2020; 56:646-654.

Abstract
In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), the effects of patient and donor human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching status on graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) have been extensively elucidated, but the effects of specific HLAs on acute GVHD remain unclear. Using data from a Japanese registry, we retrospectively analyzed 4392 patients with leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who received transplants from HLA-identical sibling donors to investigate the effects of HLAs on acute GVHD. From unbiased searches of HLA-A, -B, and -DR, HLA-B60 was significantly associated with an increased risk of grades II-IV acute GVHD (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.13-1.59; P = 0.001). In contrast, HLA-B62 was significantly associated with a decreased risk of grades II-IV (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.62-0.87; P < 0.001) and III-IV acute GVHD (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.46-0.87; P = 0.005). The risk of leukemia relapse was significantly higher in HLA-B62-positive patients than in HLA-B62-negative patients (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.05-1.43; P = 0.01). Both HLA-B60 and -B62 did not affect overall survival. The findings of this study may by implication suggest the possibility that the effects of specific HLAs on transplant outcomes may reflect inherent biological features, and thus consideration of specific HLAs may be helpful to predict transplant outcomes.

Abstract
Even in the modern era of targeted therapies, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) can offer a chance of extended survival in B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) patients who relapse after or are deemed ineligible for autologous transplantation. A better understanding of the factors influencing the graft-versus-lymphoma (GVL) response would be useful in identifying B-NHL patients who may benefit from allo-HCT. Based on prior single-center reports, we hypothesized that certain HLA alleles, or haplotypes, may be associated with superior GVL compared with others after allo-HCT. To test this possibility we retrospectively evaluated whether the presence of HLA-A2, HLA-C1C1, HLA-DRB1*01:01, or HLA-DRB1*13 alleles or the presence of HLA-A1+, HLA-A2-, and HLA-B44- haplotypes is associated with outcomes in a cohort of 1314 HLA-8/8 matched sibling or unrelated donor HCT for relapsed/refractory B-NHL. We observed no significant association between any HLA allele or haplotype and overall survival or any of the secondary endpoints. In conclusion, this study represents the largest reported series of allo-HCT outcomes of B-NHL patients based on HLA type. Identification of other variables will be required to delineate the immunologic impact of donor-host interactions on outcomes of allo-HCT for B-NHL.

Abstract
Background: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a common and severe complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Some studies have found that the presence of certain specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci could affect the occurrence of aGVHD. Meanwhile, the impact of HLA haplotypes on aGVHD has been rarely studied. This study aimed to investigate the effects of HLA loci and haplotypes on intestinal aGVHD. Methods: Totally, 345 consecutive patients undergoing first HLA-matched sibling peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from February 2004 to June 2013 at Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, were enrolled in this study. HLA loci and haplotypes of recipients with frequency over 5% were searched and their effects on intestinal aGVHD were investigated. Other important factors including donor age, recipient age, donor-recipient sex combinations, and conditioning regimens were also evaluated using logistic regression. Pure upper gastrointestinal tract aGVHD without diarrhea was excluded because the histological proof was unavailable. The follow-up end-point was 6 months after HSCT. Results: The cumulative incidence of intestinal aGVHD was 19.4%, with 18.0% of the patients classified as classic aGVHD and 1.4% as persistent, recurrent, or late aGVHD. Multivariate analysis showed that HLA-A31 locus (odds ratio [OR] 2.893, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.054, 7.935], P = 0.039), HLA B40-DR15 (OR 3.133, 95% CI [1.250, 7.857], P = 0.015), and HLA B46-DR9 haplotypes (OR 2.580, 95% CI [1.070, 6.220], P = 0.035), female donor for male recipient (OR 2.434, 95% CI [1.319, 4.493], P = 0.004) were risk factors for intestinal aGVHD. Conclusion: The presence of certain HLA loci and haplotypes may influence the occurrence of intestinal aGVHD in PBSCT with HLA-identical sibling donors.

Abstract
HLA molecules play an important role for immunoreactivity in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. To elucidate the effect of specific HLA alleles on acute graft-versus-host disease, we conducted a retrospective analysis using 6967 Japanese patients transplanted with T-cell-replete marrow from an unrelated donor. Using unbiased searches of patient and donor HLA alleles, patient and/or donor HLA-B*51:01 (patient: HR, 1.37,P<0.001; donor: HR, 1.35,P<0.001) and patient HLA-C*14:02 (HR, 1.35,P<0.001) were significantly associated with an increased risk of severe acute graft-versus-host disease. The finding that donor HLA-C*14:02 was not associated with severe acute graft-versus-host disease prompted us to elucidate the relation of these high-risk HLA alleles with patient and donor HLA-C allele mismatches. In comparison to HLA-C allele match, patient mismatched HLA-C*14:02 showed the highest risk of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (HR, 3.61,P<0.001) and transplant-related mortality (HR, 2.53,P<0.001) among all patient mismatched HLA-C alleles. Although patient HLA-C*14:02 and donor HLA-C*15:02 mismatch was usually KIR2DL-ligand mismatch in the graft-versus-host direction, the risk of patient mismatched HLA-C*14:02 for severe acute graft-versus-host disease was obvious regardless of KIR2DL-ligand matching. The effect of patient and/or donor HLA-B*51:01 on acute graft-versus-host disease was attributed not only to strong linkage disequilibrium of HLA-C*14:02 and -B*51:01, but also to the effect of HLA-B*51:01 itself. With regard to clinical implications, patient mismatched HLA-C*14:02 proved to be a potent risk factor for severe acute graft-versus-host disease and mortality, and should be considered a non-permissive HLA-C mismatch in donor selection for unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a potentially life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Many genes are presumed to be involved in GVHD, but the best characterized genetic system is that of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) located on chromosome 6. Among the hundreds of genes located within the MHC region, the best known and characterized are the classical HLA genes, HLA-A, C, B, DRB1, DQB1, and DPB1. They play a fundamental role in T cell immune responses, and HLA-A, C, and B also function as ligands for the natural killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors involved in innate immunity. This review highlights the state-of-the art in the field of histocompatibility and immunogenetics of the MHC with respect to genetic risk factors for GVHD.
