Longitudinal Changes of Ocular Surface Microbiome in Patients Undergoing Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT). J Clin Med 2023; 13:208. [PMID: 38202215 PMCID: PMC10779677 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13010208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate changes in the ocular surface microbiome (OSM) between pre- and post-haemopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in the same patient, and to assess the potential impact of these changes in ocular graft-versus-host disease (o)GVHD development. METHODS Lower fornix conjunctival swabs of 24 patients were obtained before and after HSCT and subjected to DNA extraction for amplification and sequencing of the V3-V4 regions of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. The obtained reads were reconstructed, filtered, and clustered into zero-radius operational taxonomic units (zOTUs) at 97% identity level before taxonomic assignment, and biodiversity indexes were calculated. Transplant characteristics were recorded, and dry eye was diagnosed and staged 1-4 according to the Dry Eye WorkShop (DEWS) score. RESULTS No significant difference in OSM alpha diversity between pre- and post-transplant was found. A significant difference in beta diversity was observed between patients with a DEWS score of 1 versus 3 (p = 0.035). Increased corneal damage between pre- and post-HSCT was significantly associated with a decrease in alpha diversity. The changes in OSM were not associated with oGVHD, nor with any transplant parameter. CONCLUSIONS This preliminary study is the first study to analyse changes in the OSM before and after HSCT longitudinally. No trend in OSM biodiversity, microbial profile, or overall composition changes before and after HSCT was significant or associated with oGVHD onset. The great variability in the observed OSM profiles seems to suggest the absence of a patient-specific OSM "signature".

Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1277194. [PMID: 37964878 PMCID: PMC10641834 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1277194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To verify the International Chronic Ocular Graft-Versus-Host Disease (ICCGVHD) Group diagnostic criteria and establish an easy-to-use and reliable diagnosis model for quick identification of chronic oGVHD. Methods This study included 180 patients (355 eyes) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and visited the Peking University Third Hospital Cornea and Ocular Surface Disease Specialist Clinic from July 2020 to February 2021. The proportion of chronic oGVHD was 76.06% (279/355). Results Five complaints, including eye dryness, photophobia, foreign body sensation, eye redness, and burning sensation; six ophthalmic examinations, including Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score, corneal fluorescein staining (CFS), tear break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer's test score without anesthesia, conjunctival score, tear meniscus height, and non-ocular GVHD-involved organs were significantly different between patients with chronic oGVHD and control group (p < 0.05). Binary logistic regression (backward LR algorithm) selection demonstrated that three variables retained diagnostic significance for chronic oGVHD: CFS (OR = 2.71 (1.92-3.81), p < 0.001), Schirmer's test score without anesthesia (OR = 0.83 (0.76-0.91), p < 0.001), and conjunctival score (OR = 1.96 (1.13-3.42), p = 0.031). A nomogram for the identification of chronic oGVHD was developed, and its performance was examined using an internal validation cohort (118 eyes). The areas under the curve (AUCs) for the three-variable-based nomogram were 0.976 (95% CI (0.959-0.992), p < 0.01) and 0.945 (95% CI (0.904-0.986), p < 0.01) in the development and internal validation cohorts, respectively. Conclusion This concise three-variable-based nomogram based on ICCGVHD criteria could serve as an easy-to-use and reliable tool for rapid screening of chronic oGVHD.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a definitive therapy for a variety of disorders. One of the complications is acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), which has a high mortality rate. Patients can also develop chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), a more indolent yet afflicting condition that affects up to 70% of patients. Ocular involvement (oGVHD) is one of the most prevalent presentations of cGVHD and can manifest as dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, keratitis, and conjunctivitis. Early recognition of ocular involvement using regular clinical assessments as well as robust biomarkers can aid in better management and prevention. Currently, the therapeutic strategies for the management of cGVHD, and oGVHD in particular, have mainly focused on the control of symptoms. There is an unmet need for translating the preclinical and molecular understandings of oGVHD into clinical practice. Herein, we have comprehensively reviewed the pathophysiology, pathologic features, and clinical characteristics of oGVHD and summarized the therapeutic landscape available to combat it. We also discuss the direction of future research regarding a more directed delineation of pathophysiologic underpinnings of oGVHD and the development of preventive interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To validate the international chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) diagnostic criteria (ICCGVHD) compared to the National Institute of Health diagnostic criteria 2014 (NIH2014) for chronic ocular GVHD. METHODS Between 2013 and 2019, the study enrolled 233 patients with or without chronic ocular GVHD combined with the presence or absence of systemic chronic GVHD in an internationally prospective multicenter and observational cohort from 9 institutions. All patients were evaluated for four clinical parameters of ICCGVHD. RESULTS The relation between the ICCGVHD score (0-11) and NIH2014 eye score (0-4) was relatively high (r = 0.708, 95% CI: 0.637-0.767, p < 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of ICCGVHD for NIH 2014 for 233 patients were 94.3% (95% CI: 89.6%-98.1%) and 71.7% (95% CI: 63.0-79.5%), respectively (cutoff value of the ICCGVHD score = 6). The positive predictive value was 77.1% (95% CI: 71.1%-82.1%), and the negative predictive value was 87.0% (95% CI:81.6-92.5%). For the patients with systemic GVHD (n = 171), the sensitivity and specificity were 94.2% and 67.2%, respectively (ICCGVHD-score cutoff value = 6). By receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.903 (95% CI: 0.859-0.948). For patients without systemic GVHD (n = 62), the sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 76.7%, respectively (ICCGVHD-score cutoff value = 6). The AUC was 0.891 (95% CI 0.673-1.000). CONCLUSIONS Good sensitivity, specificity, predictive value and correlation were found between ICCGVHD and NIH2014. ICCGVHD scores ≥6 can be useful to diagnose ocular GVHD with or without systemic GVHD for clinical research.

Comparable meibomian gland changes in patients with and without ocular graft-versus-host disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Ocul Surf 2022; 25:1-7. [PMID: 35395386 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtos.2022.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2021] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the presentation and severity of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) in patients with and without chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease (coGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). METHODS This prospective cross-sectional study included 79 patients (47 with coGVHD and 32 without) after allo-HSCT. All participants completed ocular surface disease index questionnaire, and received slit lamp, ocular surface interferometer, meibography and confocal microscopy examination. The prevalence and severity of MGD were compared between two groups and related factors were analyzed. Main outcome measures were lipid layer thickness (LLT) and meiboscore. RESULTS Similarly high prevalence of MGD was detected in coGVHD and non-coGVHD groups (87.2% vs 84.4%, P = 0.977). Among those with MGD, although patients without coGVHD had longer noninvasive break-up time [5.54 (2.87, 9.37) vs 2.29 (0.00, 3.82) s, P < 0.001], patients in two groups presented similarly decreased LLT (53.5 ± 22.3 vs 47.1 ± 25.2 nm, P = 0.286), increased meiboscore (2.7 ± 1.5 vs 3.5 ± 1.8, P = 0.060) and enlarged acinar unit area (1647.7 ± 942.9 vs 1808.8 ± 1211.5 μm2, P = 0.592). Meibomian gland inflammation and fibrosis were observed in both groups, but more predominant in coGVHD group. Results were consistent when patients within a comparable post-HSCT time interval were compared. Regression analysis revealed neither LLT nor meiboscore was associated with coGVHD severity. LLT was positively correlated with systemic immunosuppressant use (β = 12.0, P = 0.044), while meiboscore was positively correlated with lymphoma (β = 1.78, P = 0.040) and matched unrelated donor (β = 1.59,P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS MGD was common and evident in patients after allo-HSCT. MGD is not different between coGVHD and non-coGVHD patients except more inflammation and fibrosis in the former.

Abstract
Ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) is a manifestation of chronic GVHD, frequently occurring in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). We analyzed tear protein changes before and after allogeneic HSCT, and correlated their levels with the oGVHD development. This retrospective study included 102 patients, and data were recorded before the conditioning treatment, and after 3 to 6 months postoperatively. Tear protein analysis was performed with the Agilent-2100 Bioanalyzer on individual tears sampled by aspiration. Total protein (TP), Lysozyme-C (LYS-C), Lactoferrin (LACTO), Lipocalin-1 (LIPOC-1), Transferrin (TRANSF), Albumin (ALB), and Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein (ZAG-2) levels were retrieved and statistically analyzed. Following HSCT forty-three patients developed oGVHD. TP, LACTO, LYS-C, and ZAG-2 levels significantly decreased post-HSCT as compared to pre HSCT levels. In univariate analysis, TP, LACTO, and ZAG-2 decrease was associated with an increased development of oGVHD (OR = 4.49; 95% CI, 1.9 to 10.5; p < 0.001; OR = 3.08; 95% CI 1.3 to 7.6; p = 0.01; OR = 11.1; 95% CI 2.7 to 46.6; p < 0.001, respectively). TRANSF post-HSCT levels significantly increased (OR 15.7; 95% CI, 4.1 to 52.2; p = 0.0001). No pre-post-HSCT changes were shown in ALB and LIPOC-1 levels. Data suggest that TP content, LACTO, TRANSF, and ZAG-2 pre-post changes might be significant predictors of oGVHD development.

Abstract
Ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) occurs as a complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and is associated with significant ocular morbidity resulting in a marked reduction in the quality of life. With no current consensus on treatment protocols, management becomes challenging as recurrent oGVHD often refractory to conventional treatment. Most authors now diagnose and grade the disease based on criteria provided by the National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference (NIH CC) or the International Chronic oGVHD (ICCGVHD) consensus group. This article will provide an insight into the diagnostic criteria of oGVHD, its classification, and clinical severity grading scales. The inflammatory process in oGVHD can involve the entire ocular surface including the eyelids, meibomian gland, corneal, conjunctiva, and lacrimal system. The varied clinical presentations and treatment strategies employed to manage them have been discussed in the present study. The recent advances in ocular surface imaging in oGVHD patients such as the use of meibography and in vivo confocal microscopy may help in early diagnosis and prognostication of the disease. Researching tear proteomics and identification of novel potential tear biomarkers in oGVHD patients is an exciting field as they may help in objectively diagnosing the disease and monitoring the response to treatment.
