Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most common infections occurring after solid organ transplantation. This high burden of disease, which incurs sizeable morbidity, may be worsening with the proportion of high-risk D+/R- solid organ transplantation recipients increasing in some regions globally. Cohort studies continue to support either universal prophylaxis or preemptive therapy as effective prevention strategies. Letermovir prophylaxis was noninferior to valganciclovir in adult high-risk D+/R- kidney transplant recipients with fewer drug-related adverse events in a recent clinical trial and has now been approved for such use in some regions. Maribavir preemptive therapy failed to demonstrate noninferiority when compared with valganciclovir in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients but looked promising for safety. Donor matching could be useful in prevention CMV disease with a survival advantage demonstrated in seronegative recipients waiting up to 30 mo for a seronegative kidney. Immune-guided prophylaxis resulted in fewer CMV infection episodes in lung transplant recipients when compared with fixed-duration prophylaxis in a recent clinical trial. For treatment of refractory or resistant CMV infection, maribavir was more efficacious and better tolerated when compared with investigator-initiated therapy in its registration trial for this condition. Further research regarding best treatment and prophylaxis of resistant or refractory CMV infection is needed to reflect best clinical practice choices. Optimal use of immune globulin or CMV-specific T cells for prevention or treatment of CMV disease remains undefined. Standardized definitions for the design of CMV clinical trials have been developed. In this review, we highlight recent updates in the field from data published since 2018.

Differences in toll-like receptor ligand-induced cytokine concentrations before and after solid organ transplantation: A prospective, observational cohort study in a clinical setting. Scand J Immunol 2024; 99:e13337. [PMID: 38168873 DOI: 10.1111/sji.13337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
Reliable methods to assess immune function after solid organ transplantation (SOT) are needed to guide dosing of immunosuppression. We hypothesized that toll-like receptor ligand-induced cytokine concentrations would decrease post-transplantation due to the use of immunosuppressive medication. Furthermore, we hypothesized that induced cytokine concentrations pre-transplantation would be higher in recipients with episodes of acute rejection post-transplantation due to underlying immunological dispositions. We aimed to investigate toll-like receptor ligand-induced cytokine concentrations by TruCulture©, a standardized immunoassay, in SOT recipients before and 3 months after SOT and explored associations with methylprednisolone-treated acute rejections. We conducted a prospective, observational cohort study including 123 participants (67 liver, 32 kidney and 24 lung transplant recipients). Whole blood was stimulated for 22 h with: (A) Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), (B) Resiquimod, (C) Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C) and (D) a blank control. Cytokine concentrations (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-17A, IFN-α and IFN-γ) were measured by Luminex. 30 participants developed methylprednisolone-treated acute rejection at a median of 9 days (IQR 5-17) post-SOT. We found that all induced cytokine concentrations decreased post-SOT except from LPS-induced and Poly I:C-induced IL-10. The induced cytokine concentration pre-transplantation did not differ in recipients with or without acute rejection. In conclusion, the induced cytokine concentrations decreased for all stimuli post-SOT, except the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Importantly, recipients developing early acute rejection did not differ in induced cytokine concentrations pre-SOT. Thus, the use of a standardized assay in SOT is feasible in a clinical setting and may provide important information on the immune function post-SOT.

Abstract
Utilizing assays that assess specific T-cell-mediated immunity against cytomegalovirus (CMV) holds the potential to enhance personalized strategies aimed at preventing and treating CMV in organ transplantation. This includes improved risk stratification during transplantation compared to relying solely on CMV serostatus, as well as determining the optimal duration of antiviral prophylaxis, deciding on antiviral therapy when asymptomatic replication occurs, and estimating the risk of recurrence. In this review, we initially provide an overlook of the current concepts into the immune control of CMV after transplantation. We then summarize the existent literature on the clinical experience of the use of immune monitoring in organ transplantation, with a particular interest on the outcomes of interventional trials. Current evidence indicates that cell-mediated immune assays are helpful in identifying patients at low risk for replication for whom preventive measures against CMV can be safely withheld. As more data accumulates from these and other clinical scenarios, it is foreseeable that these assays will likely become part of the routine clinical practice in organ transplantation.

Abstract
Introduction Herpes virus infections are a major concern after solid organ transplantation and linked to the immune function of the recipient. We aimed to determine the incidence of positive herpes virus (cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), herpes simplex virus type 1/2 (HSV-1/2), and varicella zoster virus (VZV)) PCR tests during the first year post-transplantation and assess whether a model including immune function pre-transplantation and three months post-transplantation could predict a subsequent positive herpes virus PCR. Methods All participants were preemptively screened for CMV, and EBV IgG-negative participants were screened for EBV during the first year post-transplantation. Herpes virus PCR tests for all included herpes viruses (CMV, EBV, HSV-1/2, and VZV) were retrieved from the Danish Microbiology database containing nationwide PCR results from both hospitals and outpatient clinics. Immune function was assessed by whole blood stimulation with A) LPS, B) R848, C) Poly I:C, and D) a blank control. Cytokine concentrations (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-17A, IFN-α, and IFN-γ) were measured using Luminex. Results We included 123 liver (54%), kidney (26%), and lung (20%) transplant recipients. The cumulative incidence of positive herpes virus PCR tests was 36.6% (95% CI: 28.1-45.1) during the first year post-transplantation. The final prediction model included recipient age, type of transplantation, CMV serostatus, and change in Poly I:C-induced IL-12p40 from pre-transplantation to three months post-transplantation. The prediction model had an AUC of 77% (95% CI: 61-92). Risk scores were extracted from the prediction model, and the participants were divided into three risk groups. Participants with a risk score <5 (28% of the cohort), 5-10 (45% of the cohort), and >10 (27% of the cohort) had a cumulative incidence of having a positive herpes virus PCR test at 5.8%, 25%, and 73%, respectively (p < 0.001). Conclusion In conclusion, the incidence of positive herpes virus PCR tests was high, and a risk model including immune function allowed the prediction of positive herpes virus PCR and may be used to identify recipients at higher risk.

Abstract
Background: Torque teno virus (TTV) DNAemia has been proposed as a surrogate marker of immunosuppression after kidney transplantation (KT), under the assumption that the control of viral replication is mainly exerted by T-cell-mediated immunity. However, Tthe impact on post-transplant TTV kinetics of single genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes orchestrating innate responses remains unknown. We aimed to characterize the potential association between 14 of these SNPs and TTV DNA levels in a single-center cohort of KT recipients.Methods: Plasma TTV DNAemia was quantified by real-time PCR in 221 KT recipients before transplantation (baseline) and regularly through the first 12 post-transplant months. We performed genotyping of the following SNPs: CTLA4 (rs5742909, rs231775), TLR3 (rs3775291), TLR9 (rs5743836, rs352139), CD209 (rs735240, rs4804803), IFNL3 (rs12979860, rs8099917), TNF (rs1800629), IL10 (rs1878672, rs1800872), IL12B (rs3212227) and IL17A (rs2275913).Results: The presence of the minor G allele of CD209 (rs4804803) in the homozygous state was associated with undetectable TTV DNAemia at the pre-transplant assessment (adjusted odds ratio: 36.96; 95% confidence interval: 4.72–289.67; p-value = 0.001). After applying correction for multiple comparisons, no significant differences across SNP genotypes were observed for any of the variables of post-transplant TTV DNAemia analyzed (mean and peak values, areas under the curve during discrete periods, or absolute increments from baseline to day 15 and months 1, 3, 6 and 12 after transplantation).Conclusion: The minor G allele of CD209 (rs4804803) seems to exert a recessive protective effect against TTV infection in non-immunocompromised patients. However, no associations were observed between the SNPs analyzed and post-transplant kinetics of TTV DNAemia. These negative results would suggest that post-transplant TTV replication is mainly influenced by immunosuppressive therapy rather than by underlying genetic predisposition, reinforcing its clinical application as a biomarker of adaptive immunity.

Abstract
Risk stratification for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after kidney transplantation (KT) remains to be determined. Since endosomal toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in viral sensing, we investigated the impact of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located within TLR3 and TLR9 genes on the occurrence of overall and high-level (≥1,000 IU/ml) CMV infection in a cohort of 197 KT recipients. Homozygous carriers of the minor allele of TLR3 (rs3775291) had higher infection-free survival compared with reference allele carriers (60.0% for TT versus 42.3% for CC/CT genotypes; P-value = 0.050). Decreased infection-free survival was observed with the minor allele of TLR9 (rs352139) (38.2% for TC/CC versus 59.3% for TT genotypes; P-value = 0.004). After multivariable adjustment, the recessive protective effect of the TLR3 (rs3775291) TT genotype was confirmed (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 0.327; 95% CI: 0.167–0.642; P-value = 0.001), as was the dominant risk-conferring effect of TLR9 (rs352139) TC/CC genotypes (aHR: 1.865; 95% CI: 1.170–2.972; P-value = 0.009). Carriers of the TLR9 (rs352139) TC/CC genotypes showed lower CMV-specific interferon-γ-producing CD4+ T-cell counts measured by intracellular cytokine staining compared with the TT genotype (median of 0.2 versus 0.7 cells/μl; P-value = 0.003). In conclusion, TLR3/TLR9 genotyping may inform CMV infection risk after KT.

Abstract
Genetic determinants of BK polyomavirus infection after kidney transplantation remain poorly investigated. We assessed the potential impact of 13 different single nucleotide polymorphisms within genes mainly involved in innate immune responses on the risk of BKPyV viremia in 204 KT recipients. After a median follow-up of 1121.5 days, the cumulative incidence of any-level BKPyV viremia was 24.5% (50/204). There was a significant association between the minor T allele of TLR3 (rs3775291) SNP and the development of BKPyV viremia (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 2.16; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08–4.30; P value = 0.029), whereas the minor G allele of CD209 (rs4804803) SNP exerted a protective role (aHR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.29–1.00; P value = 0.050). A higher incidence of BKPyV viremia was also observed for the minor G allele of IL10 (rs1800872) SNP, although the absence of BKPyV events among homozygotes for the reference allele prevented multivariable analysis. The BKPyV viremia-free survival rate decreased with the increasing number of unfavorable genotypes (100% [no unfavorable genotypes], 85.4% [1 genotype], 70.9% [2 genotypes], 52.5% [3 genotypes]; P value = 0.008). In conclusion, SNPs in TLR3, CD209 and IL10 genes play a role in modulating the susceptibility to any-level BKPyV viremia among KT recipients.
