Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by life-threatening infections and inflammatory conditions. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the definitive treatment for CGD, but questions remain regarding patient selection and impact of active disease on transplant outcomes. We performed a multi-institutional retrospective and prospective study of 391 patients with CGD treated either conventionally (non-HCT) enrolled from 2004 to 2018 or with HCT from 1996 to 2018. Median follow-up after HCT was 3.7 years with a 3-year overall survival of 82% and event-free survival of 69%. In a multivariate analysis, a Lansky/Karnofsky score <90 and use of HLA-mismatched donors negatively affected survival. Age, genotype, and oxidase status did not affect outcomes. Before HCT, patients had higher infection density, higher frequency of noninfectious lung and liver diseases, and more steroid use than conventionally treated patients; however, these issues did not adversely affect HCT survival. Presence of pre-HCT inflammatory conditions was associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease. Graft failure or receipt of a second HCT occurred in 17.6% of the patients and was associated with melphalan-based conditioning and/or early mixed chimerism. At 3 to 5 years after HCT, patients had improved growth and nutrition, resolved infections and inflammatory disease, and lower rates of antimicrobial prophylaxis or corticosteroid use compared with both their baseline and those of conventionally treated patients. HCT leads to durable resolution of CGD symptoms and lowers the burden of the disease. Patients with active infection or inflammation are candidates for transplants; HCT should be considered before the development of comorbidities that could affect performance status. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02082353.

Immune-mediated cytopenias (IMCs) after HSCT for pediatric non-malignant disorders: epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, and treatment. Eur J Pediatr 2023; 182:2471-2483. [PMID: 36967419 PMCID: PMC10257634 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-04912-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) represents a curative option for pediatric patients affected by malignant and non-malignant disorders. Several complications may arise during the post-transplantation period, including immune-mediated disorders. Immune-mediated cytopenias (IMCs) account for up to 22% of pediatric HSCT complications, representing an important cause of morbidity and mortality post-HSCT. So far, their pathogenesis is not well-understood, and their management may be very challenging. Further, most patients are refractory to first-line treatment which is based on high-dose intravenous steroids, immunoglobulin, and the monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody - rituximab. No clear consensus has been reached for second- and third-line therapeutic options. CONCLUSION We reviewed the epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, and treatment of IMCs, aiming to offer a deeper understanding of these complications as a guide to improving the management of these fragile patients and a cue for the design of tailored clinical trials. WHAT IS KNOWN • IMCs arising in the post-HSCT setting represent a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. Younger patients affected by non-malignant disorders are at the greatest risk of IMCs arising after HSCT. Corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and rituximab represent the undiscussed first-line therapeutic approach. WHAT IS NEW • This review highlitghts how children present unique risk factors for post HSCT IMCs, which are the result of the complex relationship between the immaturity of their infantile immune system and all the perturbing agents and factors which characterize the post-HSCT setting. Future efforts are warranted to establish the best option for refractory patients, for whom a standard and validated approach is not currently available. Among new agents, ibrutinib or bortezomib and fostamatinib or low-dose IL-2 could represent a good therapeutic option for patients with graft-versus-host disease and hemolytic anemia or graft-versus-host disease and thrombocytopenia, respectively.

Abstract
The conventional therapeutic approaches to treat autoimmune diseases through suppressing the immune system, such as steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are not adequately practical. Moreover, these regimens are associated with considerable complications. Designing tolerogenic therapeutic strategies based on stem cells, immune cells, and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) seems to open a promising path to managing autoimmune diseases' vast burden. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), dendritic cells, and regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the main cell types applied to restore a tolerogenic immune status; MSCs play a more beneficial role due to their amenable properties and extensive cross-talks with different immune cells. With existing concerns about the employment of cells, new cell-free therapeutic paradigms, such as EV-based therapies, are gaining attention in this field. Additionally, EVs' unique properties have made them to be known as smart immunomodulators and are considered as a potential substitute for cell therapy. This review provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of cell-based and EV-based methods for treating autoimmune diseases. The study also presents an outlook on the future of EVs to be implemented in clinics for autoimmune patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Autoimmune disease (AD) may occur after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The autoimmune mechanism seems to be related to an imbalance of the immune regulation effect of T-regulatory lymphocytes on autoreactive T-lymphocytes. AREAS COVERED ADs include hematological ADs (HADs) and nonhematologic ADs (NHADs) involving organs such as thyroid, peripheral and central nervous system, skin, liver, connective tissue, gastrointestinal tract, and kidney. To identify the risk factors for ADs, to report their clinical characteristics, and to discuss new approaches represent the areas covered in this review. EXPERT OPINION Some risk factors for HAD and NHAD are common and include nonmalignant diseases, young age, cord blood as a stem cell source, conditioning regimens without total body irradiation, alemtuzumab, antithymocyte globulin, T-cell-depleted transplant, some viral infection, mixed chimerism, and chronic Graft versus Host Disease. In NHADs, the detection of autoantibodies is more frequent and the transfer of autoimmunity from the donor to the recipient represents the pathogenetic mechanism responsible for these complications. New therapeutic approaches such as bortezomib, daratumumab, sirolimus, eculizumab, and eltrombopag appear to be promising in terms of better efficacy and reduced toxicity compared to traditional therapies. New horizons based on personalized therapies will allow us to improve the prognosis of AD.

Abstract
Immune-mediated cytopenias (IMC)-isolated or combined hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, or neutropenia-are increasingly recognized as serious complications after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for nonmalignant disorders (NMD). However, IMC incidence, duration, response to therapy, and risk factors are not well defined. This retrospective chart review identified cases of IMC with serologic confirmation among patients who underwent HCT for NMD at a single institution between 2010 and 2017. IMC after HCT for NMD in a large pediatric cohort (n = 271) was common with a cumulative incidence of 18%, identified at a median of 136 days after HCT. Treatment included prolonged immune suppression (>3 months) in 58% of all IMC cases, 91% when multiple cell lines were affected. Multiple therapeutic agents were used for the majority affected, and median time to resolution of IMC was 118 days from diagnosis. Fine-Gray competing risk multivariate regression analysis identified a combined risk factor of younger age (<3 years) and inherited metabolic disorder, as well as hemoglobinopathy (at any age) associated with 1-year incidence of IMC (P < .01). We expand these findings with the observation of declining donor T-lymphoid chimerism from day 60 to 100 and lower absolute CD4+ counts at day 100 (P < .01), before median onset of IMC, for patients with IMC compared to those without. In this cohort, 4 deaths (8%) were associated with IMC, including 2 requiring second transplantation for secondary graft failure. Although the pathogenesis of IMC post-HCT for NMD remains elusive, further research may identify approaches to prevent and better treat this HCT complication.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) may be efficacious for autoimmune diseases (AIDs), but its efficacy for individual AIDs is unknown. Factors influencing the likelihood of relapse for each AID are also unknown. This study aimed to determine the likelihood of relapse for each common AID and to generate hypotheses about factors influencing the likelihood of relapse. We reviewed charts of adult patients with nonhematologic AIDs who had undergone HCT in Alberta (n = 21) and patients described in the literature (n = 67). We used stringent inclusion criteria to minimize the inclusion of patients whose AID may have been cured before transplantation. We also used stringent definitions of AID relapse and remission. AID relapsed in 2 of 9 patients (22%) with lupus, in 4 of 12 (33%) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), in 0 of 4 (0%) with systemic sclerosis (SSc), in 3 of 16 (19%) with psoriasis, in 1 of 12 (8%) with Behçet's disease (BD), in 1 of 15 (7%) with Crohn's disease (CD), in 0 of 5 (0%) with ulcerative colitis (UC), in 4 of 8 (50%) with multiple sclerosis (MS), and in 3 of 3 (100%) with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Among highly informative patients (followed for >1 year after discontinuation of immunosuppressive therapy if no relapse, or donor AID status known if relapse), relapse occurred in 0 of 3 patients with lupus, in 2 of 7 with RA, in 0 of 2 with SSc, in 3 of 6 with psoriasis, in 0 of 3 with BD, in 0 of 10 with CD, in 0 of 3 with UC, in 2 of 3 with MS, and in 2 of 2 with T1DM. There appeared to be no associations between AID relapse and low intensity of pretransplantation chemoradiotherapy, multiple lines of AID therapy (surrogate for AID refractoriness) except perhaps for lupus, absence of serotherapy for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, lack of GVHD except perhaps for lupus, or incomplete donor chimerism. Even though remission commonly occurs after HCT in lupus, RA, SSc, psoriasis, BD, CD, and UC, HCT is efficacious for only a subset of patients. The efficacy appears to be unrelated to pretransplantation therapy, GVHD, or chimerism. Large studies are needed to determine the characteristics of patients likely to benefit from HCT for each AID.

Abstract
Autoimmune manifestations after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) are rare and poorly understood due to the complex interplay between the reconstituting immune system and transplant-associated factors. While autoimmune manifestations following AHSCT have been observed in children with graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), an alloimmune process, they are distinct from the latter in that they are generally restricted to the hematopoietic compartment, i.e., autoimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and/or neutropenia. Autoimmune cytopenias in the setting of ASHCT represent a donor against donor immune reaction. Non-hematologic autoimmune conditions in the post-AHSCT setting have been described and do not currently fall under the GvHD diagnostic criteria, but could represent alloimmunity since they arise from the donor immune attack on the antigens that are shared by the donor and host in the thyroid, peripheral and central nervous systems, integument, liver, and kidney. As in the non-transplant setting, autoimmune conditions are primarily antibody mediated. In this article we review the incidence, risk factors, potential pathophysiology, treatment, and prognosis of hematologic and non-hematologic autoimmune manifestations in children after AHSCT.

Abstract
Modern era advancements in medical care, with improved treatment of infections, can result in delayed diagnosis of congenital immunodeficiencies. In this study we present a retrospective cohort of 16 patients diagnosed with Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) at adulthood. Some of the patients had a milder clinical phenotype, but others had a classic phenotype with severe infectious and inflammatory complications reflecting a profoundly impaired neutrophil function. It is therefore of great importance to investigate the individual journey of each patient through different misdiagnoses and the threads which led to the correct diagnosis. Currently the recommended definitive treatment for CGD is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Although survival of our patients to adulthood might argue against the need for early HSCT during infancy, we claim that the opposite is correct, as most of them grew to be severely ill and diagnosed at a stage when HSCT is debatable with potentially an unfavorable outcome. This cohort stresses the need to increase awareness of this severe congenital immunodeficiency among clinicians of different specialties who might be treating undiagnosed adult patients with CGD.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited primary immunodeficiency disorder characterised by recurrent and often life-threatening infections and hyperinflammation. It is caused by defects of the phagocytic NADPH oxidase, a multicomponent enzyme system responsible for effective pathogen killing. A phase I/II clinical trial of lentiviral gene therapy is underway for the most common form of CGD, X-linked, caused by mutations in the gp91phox subunit of the NADPH oxidase. We propose to use a similar strategy to tackle p47phox-deficient CGD, caused by mutations in NCF1, which encodes the p47phox cytosolic component of the enzymatic complex. We generated a pCCLCHIM-p47phox lentiviral vector, containing the chimeric Cathepsin G/FES myeloid promoter and a codon-optimised version of the human NCF1 cDNA. Here we show that transduction with the pCCLCHIM-p47phox vector efficiently restores p47phox expression and biochemical NADPH oxidase function in p47phox-deficient human and murine cells. We also tested the ability of our gene therapy approach to control infection by challenging p47phox-null mice with Salmonella Typhimurium, a leading cause of sepsis in CGD patients, and found that mice reconstituted with lentivirus-transduced hematopoietic stem cells had a reduced bacterial load compared with untreated mice. Overall, our results potentially support the clinical development of a gene therapy approach using the pCCLCHIM-p47phox vector.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has become the main curative treatment in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). CGD is caused by inherited defects of the phagolysomal NADPH-oxidase, leading to a lifelong propensity for invasive infections and granulomatous inflammation. After successful allogeneic HSCT, chronic infections and inflammation resolve and quality-of-life improves. Favorable long-term outcome after HSCT is dependent on the prevention of primary and secondary graft failure (GF), including falling myeloid donor chimerism (DC) below 10 %, and chronic graft-vs.-host-disease (cGVHD). The risk of GF and GvHD increases with the use of HLA-incompatible donors and this may outweigh the benefits of HSCT, mainly in patients with severe co-morbidities and in asymptomatic patients with residual NADPH-oxidase function. Seventeen scientific papers have reported on a total of 386 CGD-patients treated by HSCT with HLA-matched family/sibling (MFD/MSD), 9/10-/10/10-matched-unrelated volunteer (MUD) and cord blood donors. The median OS/EFS-rate of these 17 studies was 91 and 82%, respectively. The median rates of GF, cGVHD and de-novo autoimmune diseases were 14, 10, and 12%, respectively. Results after MFD/MSD and 10/10-MUD-transplants were rather similar, but outcome in adults with significant co-morbidities and after transplants with 9/10 HLA-MUD were less successful, mainly due to increased GF and chronic GVHD. Transplantation protocols using T-cell depleted haploidentical donors with post-transplant cyclophosphamide or TCR-alpha/beta depletion have recently reported promising results. Autologous gene-therapy after lentiviral transduction of HSC achieved OS/EFS-rates of 78/67%, respectively. Careful retrospective and prospective studies are mandatory to ascertain the most effective cellular therapies in patients with CGD.

Molecular Analysis of Goodpasture's Disease Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant in a Pediatric Patient, Recalls the Conformeropathy of Wild-Type Anti-GBM Disease. Front Immunol 2019; 10:2659. [PMID: 31798588 PMCID: PMC6868084 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2019.02659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2019] [Accepted: 10/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Goodpasture's disease (GP) is mediated by autoantibodies that bind the glomerular and alveolar basement membrane, causing rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with or without pulmonary hemorrhage. The autoantibodies bind neoepitopes formed upon disruption of the quaternary structure of α345NC1 hexamer, a critical structural domain of α345 collagen IV scaffolds. Hexamer disruption leads to a conformational changes that transitions α3 and α5NC1 subunits into immunogens, however, the trigger remains unknown. This contrasts with another anti-GBM disease, Alports' post-transplant nephritis (APTN), where the pathogenic alloantibody binds directly to native NC1 hexamer. The current report includes the first study of antigenic specificity and allo-incompatability in anti-GBM disease occurring after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Results: The anti-GBM antibodies were found to be directed predominantly against the EA epitope of the α3 NC1 monomer of collagen IV and developed rapidly in patient serum reaching peak level within 5 weeks. Autoantibody binding to native α345NC1 hexamer was minimal; however, binding was greatly increased upon dissociation of the native hexamer. There were no polymorphic genetic differences between donor and recipient collagen IV genes which would be predicted to cause a significant NC1 conformational change or to provide a target for antibody binding. Both patient and donor possessed the Goodpasture's susceptibility HLA-allele DRB1*1501. Conclusions: The current report includes the first in-depth study of allo-incompatability and antigenic specificity in anti-GBM disease occurring after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). No polymorphic genetic differences were identified between donor and recipient collagen IV genes which would be predicted to provide a target for antibody binding. Furthermore, autoantibody binding to native α345NC1 hexamer was minimal, increasing greatly upon dissociation of the native hexamer, resembling wild-type GP diseases and marking this as the first example of a post-HSCT conformeropathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Discuss the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of immune-mediated cytopenias (IMC) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). RECENT FINDINGS Key risk factors for post-HCT IMC include younger age, non-malignant disease, and umbilical cord blood stem cell source. While anemia predominates, any or all three hematopoietic cell lines can be affected. In rare cases, IMC can cause graft failure or death. IMC is hypothesized to result from immune dysregulation upon reconstitution of donor hematopoietic cells (i.e., dysfunctional regulatory T cells). Aside from blood product transfusions, IMC treatment includes immune-suppressive or ablative agents. First-line therapies, including corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, are often inadequate, prompting use of additional agents aimed at antibody production/T cell dysfunction or direct antibody removal via plasmapheresis. IMC occurs in up to 20% of high-risk HCT populations. Morbidity and mortality from IMC post-HCT have been reduced by improved recognition and aggressive early interventions.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) result from inborn errors in immunity. Susceptibility to infections and oftentimes severe autoimmunity pose life-threatening risks to patients with these disorders. Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) remains the only curative option for many. Severe combined immunodeficiency disorders (SCID) most commonly present at the time of birth and typically require emergent HCT in the first few weeks of life. HCT poses an unusual challenge for PIDs. Donor source and conditioning regimen often impact the outcome of immune reconstitution after HCT in PIDs. The use of matched or unmatched, as well as related versus unrelated donor has resulted in variable outcomes for different subsets of PIDs. Additionally, there is significant variability in the success of engraftment even for a single patient’s lymphocyte subpopulations. While certain cell lines do well without a conditioning regimen, others will not reconstitute unless conditioning is used. The decision to proceed with a conditioning regimen in an already immunocompromised host is further complicated by the fact that alkylating agents should be avoided in radiosensitive PIDs. This manuscript reviews some of the unique elements of HCT in PIDs and evidence-based approaches to transplant in patients with these rare and challenging disorders.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a disorder of phagocyte function, characterized by pyogenic infections and granuloma formation caused by defects in NADPH oxidase complex activity. Although the effect of CGD mainly reflects the phagocytic compartment, B cell responses are also impaired in patients with CGD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Flow cytometric analysis was performed on peripheral blood samples from 35 CGD patients age-matched with healthy controls (HC). The target cells of our study were the naive (IgD+/CD27-), memory (IgD-/CD27+), and B1a (CD5+) cells. Immunoglobulins (Igs) were also measured. This study was performed in a Latin American cohort. RESULTS We found significantly higher levels of naive B cells and B1a cells, but lower levels of memory B cells were found in CGD patients compared to HC. There was no significant difference of cell percentages per inheritance type. DISCUSSION Our findings suggest that the deficiency of NADPH oxidase components can affect the differentiation of naive B cells to memory B cells. Consequently, memory cells will be low, which also influenced the expression of CD27 in memory B cells and as a result, the percentage of naive cells increases. An altered phenotype of B lymphocytes in CGD patients may contribute to the opportunistic infections and autoimmune disorders that are seen in this disease.

Abstract
Autoimmune cytopenias (AIC) post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) are rare but exceptionally challenging complication. We conducted a comprehensive literature review and identified a pooled incidence of post-HSCT autoimmune hemolytic anemia and/or immune thrombocytopenia of 2.66% (SE = 0.27) in pediatric patients. Nonmalignant disease, unrelated donor transplant, peripheral or cord blood stem cell source, conditioning regimen without total body irradiation, and presence of chronic graft-versus-host disease were prominent risk factors. Treatment was highly variable, and cytopenias were commonly refractory. AIC represent a significant post-HSCT complication. We report here the incidence, risk factors, and possible biology behind the development of AIC in pediatric post-HSCT patients.

CONTEXT Clinical islet transplantation (CIT) is an innovative strategy to treat highly selected individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Lymphodepletion with alemtuzumab or thymoglobulin is often used for induction therapy in CIT. Alemtuzumab was recently licensed as a treatment of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). In RRMS, autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) has developed in up to 40% of individuals treated with alemtuzumab. The appearance of AITD after CIT is not well described. We herein explore factors associated with AITD developing after CIT and any relationship with exposure to lymphodepleting antibodies (alemtuzumab or thymoglobulin). CASE DESCRIPTION Five cases of AITD developing after CIT for T1DM are described. All were female. Four cases had received alemtuzumab (20 to 40 mg) prior to at least one islet infusion, and one received thymoglobulin induction. The presentation with AITD was 18 to 135 months after first transplant and 11 to 18 months after withdrawal of all maintenance immunosuppression (IS). Four cases presented with clinical and biochemical evidence of hyperthyroidism from Graves disease. One case presented with biochemical evidence of hypothyroidism and positive TSH receptor antibodies. All were treated with conventional therapies for AITD. CONCLUSIONS Despite routine use of alemtuzumab, clinical presentations of AITD seem to be uncommon in patients with CIT receiving IS. However, AITD can develop after withdrawal of IS, highlighting the need for careful thyroid surveillance in this population.

Abstract
The primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) include many genetic disorders that affect different components of the innate and adaptive responses. The number of distinct genetic PIDs has increased exponentially with improved methods of detection and advanced laboratory methodology. Patients with PIDs have an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases and non-infectious complications including allergies, malignancies and autoimmune diseases (ADs), the latter being the first manifestation of PIDs in several cases. There are two types of PIDS. Monogenic immunodeficiencies due to mutations in genes involved in immunological tolerance that increase the predisposition to develop autoimmunity including polyautoimmunity, and polygenic immunodeficiencies characterized by a heterogeneous clinical presentation that can be explained by a complex pathophysiology and which may have a multifactorial etiology. The high prevalence of ADs in PIDs demonstrates the intricate relationships between the mechanisms of these two conditions. Defects in central and peripheral tolerance, including mutations in AIRE and T regulatory cells respectively, are thought to be crucial in the development of ADs in these patients. In fact, pathology that leads to PID often also impacts the Treg/Th17 balance that may ease the appearance of a proinflammatory environment, increasing the odds for the development of autoimmunity. Furthermore, the influence of chronic and recurrent infections through molecular mimicry, bystander activation and super antigens activation are supposed to be pivotal for the development of autoimmunity. These multiple mechanisms are associated with diverse clinical subphenotypes that hinders an accurate diagnosis in clinical settings, and in some cases, may delay the selection of suitable pharmacological therapies. Herein, a comprehensively appraisal of the common mechanisms among these conditions, together with clinical pearls for treatment and diagnosis is presented.
