Abstract
The interferon regulatory factor 2 binding protein 2 (IRF2BP2) is a transcriptional regulator, functioning a transcriptional corepressor by interacting with the interferon regulatory factor-2. The ubiquitous expression of IRF2BP2 by diverse cell types and tissues suggests its potential involvement in different cell signalling pathways. Variants inIRF2BP2have been recently identified to cause familial common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) characterized by immune dysregulation. This study investigated three rare novel variants inIRF2BP2, identified in patients with primary antibody deficiency and autoimmunity by whole exome-sequencing (WES). Following transient overexpression of EGFP-fused mutants in HEK293 cells and transfection in Jurkat cell lines, we used fluorescence microscopy, real-time PCR and Western blotting to analyze their effects on IRF2BP2 expression, subcellular localization, nuclear translocation of IRF2, and the transcriptional activation of NFκB1(p50). We found altered IRF2BP2 mRNA and protein expression levels in the mutants compared to the wild type after IRF2BP2 overexpression. In confocal fluorescence microscopy, variants in the C-terminal RING finger domain showed an irregular aggregate formation and distribution instead of the expected nuclear localization compared to the variants in the N-terminal zinc finger domain and their wildtype counterpart. Immunoblotting revealed an impaired IRF2 and NFκB1 (p50) nuclear localization in the mutants compared to the IRF2BP2 wildtype counterpart. LPS stimulation reduced IRF2BP2 mRNA expression in the variants compared to the wild type. Our findings significantly contribute to understanding the clinical significance of IRF2BP2 mutations in the pathogenesis of immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation. We observed impairment of the nuclear translocation of IRF2 and NFκB1 (p50) due to the upregulation of IRF2BP2, potentially affecting specific gene expressions involved in immune regulation.

Abstract
Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a rare complication after solid organ transplantation (SOT) that carries high mortality. Caused by immunocompetent donor leukocytes within the transplanted organ, which become activated against recipient tissues, GVHD typically develops 2 to 12 weeks after SOT and can affect the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and bone marrow. Signs and symptoms are nonspecific and include a rash, nausea, appetite loss, diarrhea, and cytopenias. Pancytopenia from marrow-directed GVHD is the primary driver of mortality. The diagnosis of GVHD is often delayed but should be confirmed by biopsy of an affected organ. Evidence of donor chimerism in blood or marrow supports the diagnosis. When GVHD is diagnosed we initiate treatment with systemic corticosteroids. At that time, if GVHD only involves skin or oral mucosa we also decrease maintenance immunosuppression levels to allow the recipient to reject the donor immune cells. For GVHD involving the marrow we initiate an allogeneic hematopoietic cell donor search early. In this article, we describe 3 cases of GVHD after SOT, outline our approach to diagnosis and management, and then provide analysis of the 3 instructive cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND EPP is characterized by photosensitivity and by liver disease. When LT is performed in EPP, recurrence often occurs in the allograft due to ongoing protoporphyrin production in bone marrow. Therefore, curative treatment requires allogeneic HSCT after LT. Long-term immunosuppression could be spared by using the same donor for both transplants. METHODS A 2-year-old girl with EPP in liver failure underwent liver transplant from her father. Transfusion and apheresis therapy were used to lower protoporphyrin levels before and after liver transplant. Ten weeks after liver transplant, she underwent HSCT, using the same donor. Conditioning was with treosulfan, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and ATG. GVHD prophylaxis was with abatacept, methotrexate, MMF, and tacrolimus. We followed the patient's erythrocyte protoporphyrin and liver and skin health for 2 years after transplant. RESULTS After hematopoietic stem cell engraftment, a decline in protoporphyrin levels was observed, with clinical resolution of photosensitivity. Liver biopsies showed no evidence of EPP. Mild ACR occurred and responded to steroid pulse. Two years post-HSCT, the patient has been weaned off all immunosuppression and remains GVHD and liver rejection free. CONCLUSIONS Sequential liver and HSCT from the same haploidentical donor are feasible in EPP. This strategy can allow for discontinuation of immune suppression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experience with sequential hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and kidney transplant (KT) is limited. METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational study of adult patients who underwent both HSCT and KT at our center, with a median follow-up of 11 y. RESULTS In our 54 patients cohort (94% autologous HSCT), 36 (67%) patients received HSCT first followed by KT, while 18 (33%) received KT before HSCT. In both groups, AL amyloidosis represented 50% of hematologic diagnosis. Only 4 patients expired due to hematologic disease relapse (2 patients in each group) and only 3 allografts were lost due to hematologic disease recurrence (HSCT first n = 1 and KT first n = 2). Overall 1, 5, and 10 y death-censored graft survival rates were 94%, 94%, and 94%, respectively, for the HSCT first group and 89%, 89%, and 75%, respectively, for the KT first group. Overall 1, 5, and 10 y patients survival rates were 100%, 97% and 90%, respectively, for the HSCT first group and 100%, 76%, and 63%, respectively, for the KT first group. CONCLUSIONS Our study supports safety of sequential KT and HSCT, with improved overall patient survival compared to recipients of HSCT remaining on dialysis and good long-term kidney allograft outcome.

Abstract
There is a growing population of transplant survivors receiving both a solid organ transplantation (SOT) and a hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). This group remains underreported and not well described. We conducted a single-center retrospective study aimed at assessing safety and long-term survival outcomes of 40 patients receiving both HCT and SOT at the University of Minnesota. Twenty-seven patients underwent HCT followed by SOT (13 kidney, 10 lung, 2 liver, 1 heart, 1 heart/kidney) with a median age of 40 years (range, 5 to 72) at the time of SOT at a median of 88 months (range, 24 to 302) following the HCT. The 1-, 5-, and 10-year overall survival (OS) from the SOT was 93%, 76%, and 49%, respectively, with only 4 organ failures reported. Thirteen other patients received a HCT following a prior kidney (n = 8), liver (n = 4), or pancreas/kidney (n = 1) SOT with a median age of 42 years (range, 3 to 66) at the time of the HCT and a median 154 months (range, 1 to 304) from the SOT. The 1-, 5-, and 10-year OS from HCT were 46%, 46%, and 17% respectively. In patients receiving SOT followed by HCT, survival outcomes were better in kidney transplant recipients and patients subsequently requiring an autologous rather than an allogeneic HCT. There were no HCT engraftment failures. Our findings show that in a select patient population, undergoing a second transplant at a specialized center can lead to favorable outcomes with long-term survival and low incidence of graft rejection, organ failure, and malignant disease relapse. A large-scale study is needed to determine the incidence and risk factors preferred for a successful subsequent SOT or HCT. Those studies are crucial to further guide selection and management of patients who would benefit most from a second transplant.

Abstract
DOCK8 deficiency is a rare inherited combined immunodeficiency, caused by mutations in the DOCK8 gene. We describe a case with DOCK8 deficiency associated with severe CLD in whom orthotopic LT was performed successfully after allogeneic HSCT. A 5 year-old girl with DOCK8 deficiency presented with mild direct hyperbilirubinemia and abnormal GGT level and without a previous history of jaundice. She had severe growth retardation, hepatosplenomegaly and generalized eczema. Progressive worsening of CLD was observed within 4 months. Investigations for etiology of liver disease were negative. Liver biopsy showed bridging necrosis, cholestasis and, cirrhosis. Recurrent immune hemolytic crisis and several viral infections developed in follow-up. She underwent whole cadaveric LT for end-stage liver disease (ESLD) 1 year after allogenic HSCT from a full matched related donor. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient is alive with normal liver function and moderate skin graft versus host disease for 36 months after LT. In conclusion DOCK8 deficiency can be associated with severe CLD. Successful LT following HSCT is possible in patients with ESLD in DOCK8 deficiency. The timing of LT is challenging in patients requiring both HSCT and LT since conditioning regimens for HSCT can be highly hepatotoxic and the patients with suboptimal liver function can become decompensated during HSCT.

Abstract
Little is known about stem cell transplantation in solid organ transplantation (SOT) recipients. We conducted a nationwide retrospective survey of Japan Society for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation centers. A total of 19 patients who underwent 22 hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCTs) after SOT were identified: 5 autologous HSCTs and 17 allogeneic HSCTs were performed. Patients who underwent autologous HSCT received a liver (n = 4) or kidney (n = 1) transplant. All 5 patients achieved neutrophil engraftment, and 2 of 3 patients with hepatoblastoma were alive at 1 year after HSCT. Allogeneic HSCT was performed in 16 patients (7 liver transplant recipients and 9 kidney transplant recipients). Among these, 2 donors were identical for both transplantations. All but 1 patient achieved neutrophil engraftment. The 5-year overall survival rate was 41.7%, but that in patients with malignant disease (n = 13) was much lower than the overall rate (23.1%). Only 1 patient with malignant disease underwent allogeneic HSCT in nonremission. In allogeneic HSCT after kidney transplantation, post-transplantation (1 year) kidney function in 5 evaluable patients was significantly lower than that before allogeneic HSCT, and 3 patients experienced renal rejection. However, no severe hepatic rejection was noted. In SOT recipients, HSCT is a potentially curable treatment for hematologic disorders, but it must be performed with caution, especially in patients with malignancy.

Abstract
We report a case of a pediatric patient who required three separate transplants: OLT at the age 5, HCT at age 13 (8 years post-OLT), and cadaveric RT at age 15 (10 years post-OLT). The child initially presented with fulminant liver failure without known cause, ultimately undergoing OLT from his mother. He then developed SAA, for which he required HCT. Unfortunately, he developed ESRD secondary to prolonged CNI exposure, for which he underwent cadaveric RT. These processes then resulted in 7 years largely free from complications, during which a multi-disciplinary team monitored the patient for complications. Regrettably, at the age of 21 he developed poorly differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon which ultimately led to his demise. While there are case reports of patients requiring two sequential transplants, there is a paucity of reports of successfully completing three separate organ transplants in the same patient. Our case demonstrates progression of a pediatric patient through OLT, HCT, and RT with discussion of notable clinical implications. Secondarily, this case highlights the importance of coordination of care amongst various subspecialties to facilitate tandem transplantations and manage the complications of these processes. As pediatric patients have improved survival rates and may require multiple transplants, it remains important to highlight the feasibility as well as the complications of the tandem transplant process.

Abstract
The management of severe aplastic anaemia is particularly challenging when it occurs in the context of recent liver transplantation. Rapid identification of a suitable donor followed by allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative option. This scenario is often complicated by potentially life-threatening infections that develop as a consequence of immunosuppression. Alternative donor transplantation using suitably matched unrelated donors can be potentially life-saving when suitably matched sibling donors are unavailable. Above all, a dedicated interdisciplinary approach with seamless communication between hepatology, transplant surgery, haematology, and stem cell transplant services is essential to achieving optimal outcomes. Herein, we describe a case of severe hepatitis leading to hepatic failure who was treated with liver transplantation from a deceased donor, and later received an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a matched unrelated donor for hepatitis-associated aplastic anaemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is curative in patients with primary immunodeficiencies. However, pre-HSCT conditioning entails unacceptably high risks if the liver is compromised. The presence of a recurrent opportunistic infection affecting the biliary tree and determining liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension posed particular decisional difficulties in a 7-year-old child with X-linked CD40-ligand deficiency. We aim at adding to the scanty experience available on such rare cases, as successful management with sequential liver transplantation (LT) and HSCT has been reported in detail only in 1 young adult to date. METHODS A closely sequential strategy, with a surgical complication-free LT, followed by reduced-intensity conditioning, allowed HSCT to be performed only one month after LT, preventing Cryptosporidium parvum recolonization of the liver graft. RESULTS Combined sequential LT and HSCT resolved the cirrhotic evolution and corrected the immunodeficiency so that the infection responsible for the progressive sclerosing cholangitis did not recur. CONCLUSIONS Hopefully, this report of the successful resolution of a potentially fatal combination of immunodeficiency and chronic opportunistic infection with end-stage organ damage in a child will encourage others to adapt a sequential transplant approach to this highly complex pathology. However, caution is to be exercised to carefully balance the risks intrinsic to transplant surgery and immunosuppression in primary immunodeficiencies.

Abstract
We report two patients who underwent cardiac transplantation at a young age and subsequently required a HCT for varied indications. Despite the challenges associated with HCT following cardiac transplant, including need for altered immunosuppression, toxicities related to chemotherapy exposure, and infection risks, both patients are currently alive and well. There is a paucity of such successful cases documented in the literature, and these cases highlight the critical importance of an experienced, multidisciplinary team when caring for this patient population.
