J Cyst Fibros 2024; 23:573-578. [PMID: 38087680 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcf.2023.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibiotic treatment is crucial for patients with chronic bacterial infections. Suspected drug allergies often lead to inconsistent therapies and challenging clinical management for patients and caregivers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the value of lymphocyte transformation tests in comparison to skin tests for the prediction of delayed-type allergic reactions. METHODS This prospective, observational study tested the diagnostic value of skin prick tests, intradermal tests (reading: 15 min and 72 h) and lymphocyte transformations tests for the prediction of allergic reactions in CF patients with physician reported allergy to piperacillin/tazobactam, meropenem and ceftazidime. The tests were performed directly before a 14d intravenous drug challenge. RESULTS We performed 33 drug challenges in 29 subjects. 21 drug challenges were negative (63 %); 12 lead to a reaction (37 %), of those 2 were immediate and 10 were delayed-type. 100 % of the skin prick tests were negative. 97 % (33/34) of the intradermal tests with early reading and 100 % of the intradermal tests with late reading yielded negative results. 5/11 patients who experienced a delayed-type reaction during the drug challenge had a positive lymphocyte transformations test. All 17 patients who did not react had a negative lymphocyte transformations test. For piperacillin/tazobactam, 4/5 patients who experienced a delayed-type reaction during the drug challenge had positive lymphocyte transformations tests. Hence, for piperacillin/tazobactam, the sensitivity of the lymphocyte transformation test for prediction of reactions was 80.0 % and the specificity 100 %. CONCLUSION We demonstrate that the lymphocyte transformation test predicts delayed-type allergy to piperacillin/tazobactam in contrast to skin tests.

Abstract
Eosinophilia is a common finding in drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHR). Its cause is unclear, as neither antigen/allergen-driven inflammation nor clonal expansion is involved. Most delayed-DHRs are due to p-i (pharmacologic interaction of drugs with immune receptors). These are off-target activities of drugs with immune receptors that result in various types of T-cell stimulation, some of which involve excessive IL-5 production. Functional and phenotypic studies of T-cell clones and their TCR-transfected hybridoma cell lines revealed that some p-i-induced drug stimulations occur without CD4/ CD8 co-receptor engagement. The CD4/CD8 co-receptors link Lck (lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase) and LAT (linker for activation of T cells) to the TCR. Alteration of Lck or LAT can result in a TCR signalosome with enhanced IL-5 production. Thus, if a more affine TCR-[drug/peptide/HLA] interaction allows bypassing the CD4 co-receptor, a modified Lck/LAT activation may lead to a TCR signalosome with elevated IL-5 production. This "IL-5-TCR-signalosome" hypothesis could also explain eosinophilia in superantigen or allo-stimulation (graft-versus-host disease), in which evasion of CD4/CD8 co-receptors has also been described. It may open new therapeutic possibilities in certain eosinophilic diseases by directly targeting the IL-5-TCR signalosome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Piperacillin is one of the most common drugs that cause drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia, but a complete description of the serological features and course of the disease is rare. This study completely describes the serological characteristics and course of a patient with hypertensive nephropathy who developed drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia and worsened renal function during repeated administration of piperacillin-tazobactam. CASE PRESENTATION A 79-year-old male patient with hypertensive nephropathy who developed severe hemolytic anemia and worsened renal function during intravenous piperacillin-tazobactam anti-infective treatment due to lung infection. Serological tests showed that the result of the direct antiglobulin test for anti-IgG was positive (4 +) and anti-C3d was negative, and the irregular red blood cell antibody screening test was negative. Plasma samples collected at different times from 2 days before to 12 days after the discontinuation of piperacillin-tazobactam administration were incubated with piperacillin solution and red blood cells of O-type healthy blood donors at 37 °C, IgG piperacillin-dependent antibodies were detected, and the highest titer was 128. However, no tazobactam-dependent antibody was detected in any plasma samples. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with piperacillin-induced immune hemolytic anemia. Although blood transfusion and continuous renal replacement therapy were given, the patient died of multiple organ failure 15 days after the administration of piperacillin-tazobactam was stopped. CONCLUSION This is the first complete description of the disease course and serological changes of piperacillin-induced immune hemolytic anemia, which is bound to help deepen the understanding of drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia and draw profound lessons from it.

Abstract
β-Lactamase inhibitors such as clavulanic acid and tazobactam were developed to overcome β-lactam antibiotic resistance. Hypersensitivity reactions to these drugs have not been studied in detail, and the antigenic determinants that activate T-cells have not been defined. The objectives of this study were to (i) characterize clavulanate- and tazobactam-responsive T-cells from hypersensitive patients, (ii) explore clavulanate and tazobactam T-cell crossreactivity, and (iii) define the antigenic determinants that contribute to T-cell reactivity. Antigen specificity, pathways of T-cell activation, and crossreactivity with clavulanate- and tazobactam-specific T-cell clones were assessed by proliferation and cytokine release assays. Antigenic determinants were analyzed by mass spectrometry-based proteomics methods. Clavulanate- and tazobactam-responsive CD4+ T-cell clones were stimulated to proliferate and secrete IFN-γ in an MHC class II-restricted and dose-dependent manner. T-cell activation with clavulanate- and tazobactam was dependent on antigen presenting cells because their fixation prevented the T-cell response. Strong crossreactivity was observed between clavulanate- and tazobactam-T-cells; however, neither drug activated β-lactam antibiotic-responsive T-cells. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that both compounds form multiple antigenic determinants with lysine residues on proteins, including an overlapping aldehyde and hydrated aldehyde adduct with mass additions of 70 and 88 Da, respectively. Collectively, these data show that although clavulanate and tazobactam are structurally distinct, the antigenic determinants formed by both drugs overlap, which explains the observed T-cell cross-reactivity.

Abstract
BackgroundAs an important zoonotic parasitic disease with global distribution, scabies causes serious public health and economic problems. Arginine kinase (AK) is involved in cell signal transduction, inflammation, and apoptosis. Two AKs were identified in Sarcoptes scabiei, but their functions in the host immune response remain unclear.MethodsrSsAK-1 and rSsAK-2 were expressed, purified, and immunolocalized. The effects of rSsAK-1 and rSsAK-2 on rabbit PBMC proliferation, apoptosis, and migration; Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, Fas, Bax, and NF-κB transcription levels; and IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10, TGF-β1, and IL-17 secretion were detected.ResultsrSsAK-1 and rSsAK-2 were cloned and expressed successfully. Both enzymes were ~57 kDa and contained 17-kDa tagged proteins, and had good catalytic activity and immunoreactivity. The proteins were located in the S. scabiei exoskeleton, chewing mouthparts, legs, stomach, and intestine. SsAK-1 and SsAK-2 were secreted in the pool and epidermis of the skin lesions, which may be involved in S. scabiei–host interaction. rSsAK-1 and rSsAK-2 significantly promoted cell proliferation, induced cell migration, inhibited apoptosis, and increased Bcl-2, Bcl-xl and NF-κB (p65) transcription levels concentration-dependently, and inhibited IL-2, IFN-γ, and IL-10 secretion and promoted IL-4 and IL-17 secretion.ConclusionrSsAK-1 and rSsAK-2 might increase Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl expression by activating the NF-κB signaling pathway to promote cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis, which induced PBMC survival. By inducing PBMC migration to the infection site, rSsAK-1 and rSsAK-2 shifted the Th1/Th2 balance toward Th2 and changed the Th17/Treg balance, which indicated their immune role in S. scabiei allergic inflammation.

Abstract
Drugs can activate different cells of the immune system and initiate an immune response that can lead to life-threatening diseases collectively known as severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). Antibiotics, anticonvulsants, and antiretrovirals are involved in the development of SCARs by the activation of αβ naïve T-cells. However, other subsets of lymphocytes known as nonconventional T-cells with a limited T-cell receptor repertoire and innate and adaptative functions also recognize drugs and drug-like molecules, but their role in the pathogenesis of SCARs has only just begun to be explored. Despite 30 years of advances in our understanding of the mechanisms in which drugs interact with T-cells and the pathways for tissue injury seen during T-cell activation, at present, the development of useful clinical biomarkers for SCARs or predictive preclinical in vitro assays that could identify immunogenic moieties during drug discovery is an unmet goal. Therefore, the present review focuses on (i) advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of SCARs reactions, (ii) a description of the interaction of drugs with conventional and nonconventional T-cells, and (iii) the current state of soluble blood circulating biomarker candidates for SCARs.

Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHR) are heterogeneous and unusual immune reactions with rather unique clinical presentations. Accumulating evidence indicates that certain non‐covalent drug‐protein interactions are able to elicit exclusively effector functions of antibody reactions or complete T‐cell reactions which contribute substantially to DHR. Here, we discuss three key interactions; (a) mimicry: whereby soluble, non‐covalent drug‐protein complexes (“fake antigens”) mimic covalent drug‐protein adducts; (b) increased antibody affinity: for example, in quinine‐type immune thrombocytopenia where the drug gets trapped between antibody and membrane‐bound glycoprotein; and (c) p‐i‐stimulation: where naïve and memory T cells are activated by direct binding of drugs to the human leukocyte antigen and/or T‐cell receptors. This transient drug‐immune receptor interaction initiates a polyclonal T‐cell response with mild‐to‐severe DHR symptoms. Notable complications arising from p‐i DHR can include viral reactivations, autoimmunity, and multiple drug hypersensitivity. In conclusion, DHR is characterized by abnormal immune stimulation driven by non‐covalent drug‐protein interactions. This contrasts DHR from “normal” immunity, which relies on antigen‐formation by covalent hapten‐protein adducts and predominantly results in asymptomatic immunity.

Abstract
An emerging clinical issue associated with immune-oncology agents is the collateral effects on the tolerability of concomitant medications. One report of this phenomenon was the increased incidence of hypersensitivity reactions observed in patients receiving concurrent immune checkpoint inhibitors and sulfasalazine. Thus, the aim of this study was to characterize the T-cells involved in the pathogenesis of such reactions, and recapitulate the effects of inhibitory checkpoint blockade on de-novo priming responses to compounds within in-vitro platforms. A regulatory competent human dendritic cell/T-cell co-culture assay was used to model the effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors on de-novo nitroso sulfamethoxazole- and sulfapyridine (the sulfonamide component of sulfasalazine) hydroxylamine-specific priming responses. The role of T-cells in the pathogenesis of the observed reactions was explored in three patients through phenotypic characterization of sulfapyridine/sulfapyridine hydroxylamine-responsive T-cell clones, and assessment of cross-reactivity and pathways of T-cell activation. Augmentation of the frequency of responding drug-specific T-cells and intensity of the T-cell response was observed with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Monoclonal populations of sulfapyridine- and sulfapyridine hydroxylamine-responsive T-cells were isolated from all three patients. A core secretory effector molecule profile (IFN-γ, IL-13, granzyme B and perforin) was identified for sulfapyridine and sulfapyridine hydroxylamine responsive T-cell clones, which proceeded through Pi and hapten mechanisms, respectively. Data presented herein provides evidence that drug-responsive T-cells are effectors of hypersensitivity reactions observed in oncology patients administered immune checkpoint inhibitors and sulfasalazine. Perturbation of drug-specific T-cell priming is a plausible explanation for clinical observations of how an increased incidence of these adverse events is occurring.

Abstract
PROPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate panels of enzyme-linked immunospot assays (ELISpot) to detect drug-specific mediator releasing cells for confirming culprit drugs in severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). METHODS Frequencies of drug-induced interleukin-22 (IL-22)-, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)-, and granzyme-B (GrB)-releasing cells were measured by incubating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from SCAR patients with the culprit drugs. Potential immunoadjuvants were supplemented to enhance drug-induced mediator responses. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients, including 9 acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), 10 drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, and 8 Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) were recruited. The average frequencies of drug-induced IL-22-, IFN-γ-, and GrB-releasing cells were 35.5±16.3, 33.0±7.1, and 164.8±43.1 cells/million PBMCs, respectively. The sensitivity of combined IFN-γ/IL-22/GrB ELISpot was higher than that of IFN-γ ELISpot alone for culprit drug detection in all SCAR subjects (77.8% vs 51.9%, P < 0.01). The measurement of drug-induced IL-22- and IFN-γ releasing cells confirmed the culprit drugs in 77.8% of AGEP. The measurement of drug-induced IFN-γ- and GrB-releasing cells confirmed the culprit drugs in 62.5% of SJS/TEN. Alpha-galactosylceramide supplementation significantly increased the frequencies of drug-induced IFN-γ releasing cells. CONCLUSION The measurement of drug-induced IFN-γ-releasing cells is the key for identifying culprit drugs. The additional measurement of drug-induced IL-22-releasing cells enhances ELISpot sensitivity to identify drug-induced AGEP, while the measurement of drug-induced GrB-releasing cells could have a role in SJS/TEN. ELISpot sensitivity might be improved by supplementary alpha-galactosylceramide. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02574988.

Abstract
Exposure to tolvaptan is associated with a significant risk of liver injury in a small fraction of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. The observed delayed onset of liver injury of between 3 and 18 months after commencing tolvaptan treatment, along with rapid recurrence of symptoms following re-challenge is indicative of an adaptive immune attack. This study set out to assess the intrinsic immunogenicity of tolvaptan and pathways of drug-specific T-cell activation using in vitro cell culture platforms. Tolvaptan (n = 7), as well as oxybutyric (DM-4103, n = 1) and hydroxybutyric acid (DM-4107, n = 18) metabolite-specific T-cell clones were generated from tolvaptan naive healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Tolvaptan and DM-4103 T-cell clones could also be activated with DM-4107, whereas T-cell clones originally primed with DM-4107 were highly specific to this compound. A signature cytokine profile (IFN-γ, IL-13, granzyme B, and perforin) for almost all T-cell clones was identified. Mechanistically, compound-specific T-cell clone activation was dependent on the presence of soluble drug and could occur within 4 h of drug exposure, ruling out a classical hapten mechanism. However, antigen processing dependence drug presentation was indicated in many T-cell clones. Collectively these data show that tolvaptan-associated liver injury may be attributable to an adaptive immune attack upon the liver, with tolvaptan- and metabolite-specific T cells identified as candidate effector cells in such etiology.

Abstract
Allergic reactions to drugs and chemicals are mediated by an adaptive immune response involving specific T cells. During thymic selection, T cells that have not yet encountered their cognate antigen are considered naive T cells. Due to the artificial nature of drug/chemical-T-cell epitopes, it is not clear whether thymic selection of drug/chemical-specific T cells is a common phenomenon or remains limited to few donors or simply does not exist, suggesting T-cell receptor (TCR) cross-reactivity with other antigens. Selection of drug/chemical-specific T cells could be a relatively rare event accounting for the low occurrence of drug allergy. On the other hand, a large T-cell repertoire found in multiple donors would underline the potential of a drug/chemical to be recognized by many donors. Recent observations raise the hypothesis that not only the drug/chemical, but also parts of the haptenated protein or peptides may constitute the important structural determinants for antigen recognition by the TCR. These observations may also suggest that in the case of drug/chemical allergy, the T-cell repertoire results from particular properties of certain TCR to recognize hapten-modified peptides without need for previous thymic selection. The aim of this review is to address the existence and the role of a naive T-cell repertoire in drug and chemical allergy. Understanding this role has the potential to reveal efficient strategies not only for allergy diagnosis but also for prediction of the immunogenic potential of new chemicals.

Abstract
The prediction of drug hypersensitivity is difficult due to the lack of appropriate models and known risk factors. In vitro naïve T-cell priming assays that assess immunogenicity have been developed. However, their application is limited due requirements for 2 batches of autologous dendritic cells (DC) and inconsistent results; a consequence of single well readouts when exploring reactions where compound-specific T-cell frequency is undefined. Hence, we aimed to develop an improved, but simplified assay, termed the T-cell multiple well assay (T-MWA), that permits assessment of drug-specific activation of naïve T cells, alongside analysis of the strength of the induced response and the number of cultures that respond. DC naïve T-cell coculture, depleted of regulatory T cells (Tregs), was conducted in up to 48 wells for 2 weeks with model haptens (nitroso sulfamethoxazole [SMX-NO], Bandrowski's base [BB], or piperacillin [PIP]). Cultures were rechallenged with hapten and T-cell proliferation was measured using [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Priming of naïve T cells was observed with SMX-NO, with no requirement for DC during restimulation. Greater than 65% of cultures were activated with SMX-NO; with 8.0%, 30.8%, and 27.2% characterized as weak (stimulation index [SI] =1.5-1.9), moderate (SI = 2-3.9), and strong responses (SI > 4), respectively. The number of responding cultures and strength of the response was reproducible when separate blood donations were compared. Coinhibitory checkpoint blockade increased the strength of the proliferative response, but not the number of responding cultures. Moderate to strong priming responses were detected with BB, whereas PIP stimulated only a small number of cultures to proliferate weakly. In drug-responsive cultures inducible CD4+CD25+FoxP3+CD127low Tregs were also identified. To conclude, the T-MWA offers improvements over existing assays and with development it could be used to study multiple HLA-typed donors in a single plate format.

Abstract
Circulating memory T cells are heterogeneous in their tissue tropism. The skin-seeking T cell subset expresses the cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA) on their surface. CLA+ memory T cells not only migrate from blood to skin but also recirculate between blood and skin. Studying CLA+ memory T cells in cutaneous diseases has allowed a better understanding of immune-inflammatory mechanisms that take place. The analysis of the phenotypical features of these cells, their antigen specificity, cytokine production profile, and changes in relationship to clinical status and therapies among other characteristics have led to the concept that they constitute peripheral cellular biomarkers in T cell-mediated cutaneous conditions. CLA+ memory T cells are of relevance in the pathogenesis of several cutaneous diseases, such as psoriasis (PSO), atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and drug-induced allergic reactions, to name a few. The interaction of circulating CLA+ T cells with skin-resident cells has been investigated in different ex vivo coculture models made out of clinical samples. Interestingly, microbes that are present in the skin or related with human skin diseases are preferentially recognized by CLA+ T cells. Thus, the interaction of Streptococcus pyogenes with CLA+ T cells in PSO is providing novel concepts that help to understand disease immunopathogenesis. The goal of this review is to present latest results in the field of CLA+ T cells in T cell-mediated inflammatory skin diseases and their translational relevance for human immunodermatology.

Abstract
Penicillin refers to a group of beta-lactam antibiotics that are the first-line treatment for a range of infections. However, they also possess the ability to form novel antigens, or neoantigens, through haptenation of proteins and can stimulate a range of immune-mediated adverse reactions-collectively known as drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs). IgE-mediated reactions towards these neoantigens are well studied; however, IgE-independent reactions are less well understood. These reactions usually manifest in a delayed manner as different forms of cutaneous eruptions or liver injury consistent with priming of an immune response. Ex vivo studies have confirmed the infiltration of T cells into the site of inflammation, and the subsets of T cells involved appear dependent on the nature of the reaction. Here, we review the evidence that has led to our current understanding of these immune-mediated reactions, discussing the nature of the lesional T cells, the characterization of drug-responsive T cells isolated from patient blood, and the potential mechanisms by which penicillins enter the antigen processing and presentation pathway to stimulate these deleterious responses. Thus, we highlight the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying genetic and molecular basis of penicillin-induced DHRs.

Abstract
Delayed-type, T cell-mediated, drug hypersensitivity reactions are a serious unwanted manifestation of drug exposure that develops in a small percentage of the human population. Drugs and drug metabolites are known to interact directly and indirectly (through irreversible protein binding and processing to the derived adducts) with HLA proteins that present the drug-peptide complex to T cells. Multiple forms of drug hypersensitivity are strongly linked to expression of a single HLA allele, and there is increasing evidence that drugs and peptides interact selectively with the protein encoded by the HLA allele. Despite this, many individuals expressing HLA risk alleles do not develop hypersensitivity when exposed to culprit drugs suggesting a nonlinear, multifactorial relationship in which HLA risk alleles are one factor. This has prompted a search for additional susceptibility factors. Herein, we argue that immune regulatory pathways are one key determinant of susceptibility. As expression and activity of these pathways are influenced by disease, environmental and patient factors, it is currently impossible to predict whether drug exposure will result in a health benefit, hypersensitivity or both. Thus, a concerted effort is required to investigate how immune dysregulation influences susceptibility towards drug hypersensitivity.

Abstract
Telaprevir, a protease inhibitor, was used alongside PEGylated interferon-α and ribavirin to treat hepatitis C viral infections. The triple regimen proved successful; however, the appearance of severe skin reactions alongside competition from newer drugs restricted its use. Skin reactions presented with a delayed onset indicative of a T-cell mediated reaction. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate whether telaprevir and/or its diastereomer, which is generated in humans, activates T-cells. Telaprevir in its S-configured therapeutic form and the R-diastereomer were cultured directly with peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors prior to the generation of T-cell clones by serial dilution. Drug-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell clones responsive to telaprevir and the R-diastereomer were generated and characterized in terms of phenotype and function. The clones proliferated with telaprevir and diastereomer concentrations of 5-20 µM and secreted IFN-γ, IL-13, and granzyme B. In contrast, the telaprevir M11 metabolite did not stimulate T-cells. The CD8+ T-cell response was MHC I-restricted and dependent on the presence of soluble drug. Flow cytometric analysis showed that clones expressed chemokine receptors CCR4 (skin homing) and CXCR3 (migration to peripheral tissue) and 1 of 3 distinct TCR Vβs; TCR Vβ 2, 5.1, or 22. These data show the propensity of both R- and S-forms of telaprevir to generate skin-homing cytotoxic T-cells that may induce the adverse reactions observed in human patients.

Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are nowadays the third cause of allergy after rhinitis and asthma with a significant increase in prevalence in both adults and paediatric population with new drugs included as culprit. For this, DHRs represent not only a health problem but also a significant financial burden for affected individuals and health systems. Mislabelling DHRs is showing to be a relevant problem for both, false label of drug allergic and false label of nonallergic. All this reinforces the need to improve accurate diagnostic approaches that allow an appropriate management. Moreover, there is a need for training both, nonallergist stakeholders and patients to improve the reaction identification and therefore decrease the mislabelling. The use of allergy cards has shown to be relevant to avoid the induction of DHRs due to the prescription of wrong medication. Recent developments over the last 2 years and highlights about risk factors, diagnostic approaches, mechanisms involved as well as prevention actions, and management have been reviewed. In these papers, it has been outlined the need for correct diagnosis and de-labelling of patients previously false-reported as allergic, which will improve the management and treatment of patients with DHRs.

Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions adversely affect treatment outcome, increase the length of patients' hospitalization, and limit the prescription options available to physicians. In addition, late stage drug attrition and the withdrawal of licensed drugs cost the pharmaceutical industry billions of dollars. This significantly increases the overall cost of drug development and by extension the price of licensed drugs. Drug hypersensitivity reactions are characterized by a delayed onset, and reactions tend to be more serious upon re-exposure. The role of drug-specific T-cells in the pathogenesis of drug hypersensitivity reactions and definition of the nature of the binding interaction of drugs with HLA and T-cell receptors continues to be the focus of intensive research, primarily because susceptibility is associated with expression of one or a small number of HLA alleles. This review critically examines the mechanisms of T-cell activation by drugs. Specific examples of drugs that activate T-cells via the hapten, the pharmacological interaction with immune receptors and the altered self-peptide repertoire pathways, are discussed. Furthermore, the impacts of drug metabolism, drug-protein adduct formation, and immune regulation on the development of drug antigen-responsive T-cells are highlighted. The knowledge gained from understanding the pathways of T-cell activation and susceptibility factors for drug hypersensitivity will provide the building blocks for the development of predictive in vitro assays that will prevent or help to minimize the incidence of these reactions in clinic.

Risk of piperacillin-induced hemolytic anemia in patients with cystic fibrosis and antipseudomonal treatment: a prospective observational study. Transfusion 2019; 59:3746-3754. [PMID: 31724753 DOI: 10.1111/trf.15591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2019] [Revised: 09/23/2019] [Accepted: 09/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIIHA) is a rare but severe side effect caused by numerous drugs. Case reports and case series suggest that piperacillin-related DIIHA may be more common among patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, the prevalence is speculative. The aim of this prospective, observational study was determine the prevalence of DIIHA in such affected patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS Patients with CF hospitalized for parenteral antibiotic therapy at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, who had previously been exposed to IV antibiotics, were enrolled. Blood samples were collected on Days 3 and 12 of antibiotic treatment courses. Serological studies were performed using standard techniques with gel cards. Screening for drug-dependent antibodies (ddab) was performed in the presence of the drugs and their urinary metabolites. RESULTS A total of 52 parenteral antibiotic cycles in 43 patients were investigated. Ddab against piperacillin were detected in two patients (4.7%). The direct AHG was positive with anti-IgG only in both patients. However only one of these patients developed mild immune hemolytic anemia. Both patients had been repeatedly treated with piperacillin without any evident hemolysis. There was no correlation between the exposure to piperacillin and the prevalence of ddab. CONCLUSION Our prospective study indicates that piperacillin-induced ddab occur more frequently in patients with CF than previously suggested. The question related to the significance of piperacillin-dependent antibodies may reflect new aspects in this field.

Dapsone- and nitroso dapsone-specific activation of T cells from hypersensitive patients expressing the risk allele HLA-B*13:01. Allergy 2019; 74:1533-1548. [PMID: 30844087 PMCID: PMC6767778 DOI: 10.1111/all.13769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2018] [Revised: 12/18/2018] [Accepted: 01/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Research into drug hypersensitivity associated with the expression of specific HLA alleles has focussed on the interaction between parent drug and the HLA with no attention given to reactive metabolites. For this reason, we have studied HLA-B*13:01-linked dapsone hypersensitivity to (a) explore whether the parent drug and/or nitroso metabolite activate T cells and (b) determine whether HLA-B*13:01 is involved in the response. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from six patients were cultured with dapsone and nitroso dapsone, and proliferative responses and IFN-γ release were measured. Dapsone- and nitroso dapsone-specific T-cell clones were generated and phenotype, function, HLA allele restriction, and cross-reactivity assessed. Dapsone intermediates were characterized by mass spectrometry. RESULTS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from six patients and cloned T cells proliferated and secreted Th1/2/22 cytokines when stimulated with dapsone (clones: n = 395; 80% CD4+ CXCR3hi CCR4hi , 20% CD8+CXCR3hi CCR4hi CCR6hi CCR9hi CCR10hi ) and nitroso dapsone (clones: n = 399; 78% CD4+, 22% CD8+ with same chemokine receptor profile). CD4+ and CD8+ clones were HLA class II and class I restricted, respectively, and displayed three patterns of reactivity: compound specific, weakly cross-reactive, and strongly cross-reactive. Nitroso dapsone formed dimers in culture and was reduced to dapsone, providing a rationale for the cross-reactivity. T-cell responses to nitroso dapsone were dependent on the formation of a cysteine-modified protein adduct, while dapsone interacted in a labile manner with antigen-presenting cells. CD8+ clones displayed an HLA-B*13:01-restricted pattern of activation. CONCLUSION These studies describe the phenotype and function of dapsone- and nitroso dapsone-responsive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from hypersensitive patients. Discovery of HLA-B*13:01-restricted CD8+ T-cell responses indicates that drugs and their reactive metabolites participate in HLA allele-linked forms of hypersensitivity.

Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHR) are based on distinct mechanisms and are clinically heterogeneous. Taking into account that also off-target activities of drugs may lead to stimulations of immune or inflammatory cells, three forms of DHR were discriminated: the allergic-immune mechanism relies on the covalent binding of drugs/chemicals to proteins, which thereby form new antigens, to which a humoural and/or cellular immune response can develop. In IgE-mediated drug allergies, a possible tolerance mechanism to the drug during sensitization and the need of a covalent hapten-carrier link for initiation, but not for elicitation of IgE-mediated reactions is discussed. The p-i ("pharmacological interaction with immune receptor") concept represents an off-target activity of drugs with immune receptors (HLA or TCR), which can result in unorthodox, alloimmune-like stimulations of T cells. Some of these p-i stimulations occur only in carriers of certain HLA alleles and can result in clinically severe reactions. The third form of DHR ("pseudo-allergy") is represented by drug interactions with receptors or enzymes of inflammatory cells, which may lead to their direct activation or enhanced levels of inflammatory products. Specific IgE or T cells are not involved. This classification is based on the action of drugs and is clinically useful, as it can explain differences in sensitizations, unusual clinical symptoms, dependence on drug concentrations, predictability and immunological and pharmacological cross-reactivities in DHR.

Abstract
Many notable advances in drug allergy, urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylaxis were reported in 2018. Broad-spectrum antibiotic use and, consequently, antibiotic resistance are widespread, and algorithms to clarify β-lactam allergy and optimize antibiotic use were described. Meaningful data emerged on the pathogenesis of delayed drug hypersensitivity reactions. Progress not only in defining biomarkers but also in understanding the effect on quality of life and developing better treatments has been made for patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria. Patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) have gained additional access to highly efficacious therapies, with associated improvements in quality of life, and some progress was made in our understanding of recurrent angioedema in patients with normal laboratory results. Guidelines have defined clear goals to help providers optimize therapies in patients with HAE. The epidemiology and triggers of anaphylaxis and the mechanisms underlying anaphylaxis were elucidated further. In summary, these disorders (and labels) cause substantial burdens for individual persons and even society. Fortunately, publications in 2018 have informed on advancements in diagnosis and management and have provided better understanding of mechanisms that potentially could yield new therapies. This progress should lead to better health outcomes and paths forward in patients with drug allergy, urticaria, HAE, and anaphylaxis.

Abstract
Current advances in the study of cutaneous adverse drug reactions can be attributed to the recent understanding that the skin is both a metabolically and immunologically competent organ. The ability of the skin to serve as a protective barrier with limited drug biotransformation ability, yet highly active immune function, has provided insights into its biological capability. While the immune response of the skin to drugs is vastly different from that of the liver due to evolutionary conditioning, it frequently occurs in response to various drug classes and manifests as a spectrum of hypersensitivity reactions. The skin is a common site of adverse and idiosyncratic drug reactions; drug-specific T-cells, as well as involvement of an innate immune response, appear to be key mechanistic drivers in such scenarios. Association of other factors such as human leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphisms may play a significant role for particular drugs. This review aims to integrate emerging findings into proposed mechanisms of drug metabolism and immunity in the skin that are likely responsible for rashes and other local allergic responses. These unique biological aspects of the skin, and their translation into implications for drug development and the use of animal models, will be discussed.

Abstract
Covalent modification of protein by drugs may disrupt self-tolerance, leading to lymphocyte activation. Until now, determination of the threshold required for this process has not been possible. Therefore, we performed quantitative mass spectrometric analyses to define the epitopes formed in tolerant and hypersensitive patients taking the β-lactam antibiotic piperacillin and the threshold required for T cell activation. A hydrolyzed piperacillin hapten was detected on four lysine residues of human serum albumin (HSA) isolated from tolerant patients. The level of modified Lys541 ranged from 2.6 to 4.8%. Analysis of plasma from hypersensitive patients revealed the same pattern and levels of modification 1-10 d after the commencement of therapy. Piperacillin-responsive skin-homing CD4+ clones expressing an array of Vβ receptors were activated in a dose-, time-, and processing-dependent manner; analysis of incubation medium revealed that 2.6% of Lys541 in HSA was modified when T cells were activated. Piperacillin-HSA conjugates that had levels and epitopes identical to those detected in patients were shown to selectively stimulate additional CD4+ clones, which expressed a more restricted Vβ repertoire. To conclude, the levels of piperacillin-HSA modification that activated T cells are equivalent to the ones formed in hypersensitive and tolerant patients, which indicates that threshold levels of drug Ag are formed in all patients. Thus, the propensity to develop hypersensitivity is dependent on other factors, such as the presence of T cells within an individual's repertoire that can be activated with the β-lactam hapten and/or an imbalance in immune regulation.
