Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are a type of adverse drug reaction that can occur with different classes of drugs and affect multiple organ systems and patient populations. DHRs can be classified as allergic or non-allergic based on the cellular mechanisms involved. Whereas nonallergic reactions rely mainly on the innate immune system, allergic reactions involve the generation of an adaptive immune response. Consequently, drug allergies are DHRs for which an immunological mechanism, with antibody and/or T cell, is demonstrated. Despite decades of research, methods to predict the potential for a new chemical entity to cause DHRs or to correctly attribute DHRs to a specific mechanism and a specific molecule are not well-established. This review will focus on allergic reactions induced by systemically administered low-molecular weight drugs with an emphasis on drug- and patient-specific factors that could influence the development of DHRs. Strategies for predicting and diagnosing DHRs, including potential tools based on the current state of the science, will also be discussed.

J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2024; 388:827-845. [PMID: 38262745 DOI: 10.1124/jpet.123.001970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Most idiosyncratic drug reactions (IDRs) appear to be immune-mediated, but mechanistic events preceding severe reaction onset remain poorly defined. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) may contribute to both innate and adaptive immune phases of IDRs, and changes in extracellular vesicle (EV) cargo have been detected post-exposure to several IDR-associated drugs. To explore the hypothesis that EVs are also a source of DAMPs in the induction of the immune response preceding drug-induced agranulocytosis, the proteome and immunogenicity of clozapine- (agranulocytosis-associated drug) and olanzapine- (non-agranulocytosis-associated drug) exposed EVs were compared in two preclinical models: THP-1 macrophages and Sprague-Dawley rats. Compared with olanzapine, clozapine induced a greater increase in the concentration of EVs enriched from both cell culture media and rat serum. Moreover, treatment of drug-naïve THP-1 cells with clozapine-exposed EVs induced an inflammasome-dependent response, supporting a potential role for EVs in immune activation. Proteomic and bioinformatic analyses demonstrated an increased number of differentially expressed proteins with clozapine that were enriched in pathways related to inflammation, myeloid cell chemotaxis, wounding, transforming growth factor-β signaling, and negative regulation of stimuli response. These data indicate that, although clozapine and olanzapine exposure both alter the protein cargo of EVs, clozapine-exposed EVs carry mediators that exhibit significantly greater immunogenicity. Ultimately, this supports the working hypothesis that drugs associated with a risk of IDRs induce cell stress, release of proinflammatory mediators, and early immune activation that precedes severe reaction onset. Further studies characterizing EVs may elucidate biomarkers that predict IDR risk during development of drug candidates. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This work demonstrates that clozapine, an idiosyncratic drug-induced agranulocytosis (IDIAG)-associated drug, but not olanzapine, a safer structural analogue, induces an acute proinflammatory response and increases extracellular vesicle (EV) release in two preclinical models. Moreover, clozapine-exposed EVs are more immunogenic, as measured by their ability to activate inflammasomes, and contain more differentially expressed proteins, highlighting a novel role for EVs during the early immune response to clozapine and enhancing our mechanistic understanding of IDIAG and other idiosyncratic reactions.

Glycolysis: An early marker for vancomycin-specific T-cell activation. Clin Exp Allergy 2024; 54:21-33. [PMID: 38177093 PMCID: PMC10953384 DOI: 10.1111/cea.14423] [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: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic used for Gram-positive bacterial infections, has been linked with drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) in HLA-A*32:01-expressing individuals. This is associated with activation of T lymphocytes, for which glycolysis has been isolated as a fuel pathway following antigenic stimulation. However, the metabolic processes that underpin drug-reactive T-cell activation are currently undefined and may shed light on the energetic conditions needed for the elicitation of drug hypersensitivity or tolerogenic pathways. Here, we sought to characterise the immunological and metabolic pathways involved in drug-specific T-cell activation within the context of DRESS pathogenesis using vancomycin as model compound and drug-reactive T-cell clones (TCCs) generated from healthy donors and vancomycin-hypersensitive patients. METHODS CD4+ and CD8+ vancomycin-responsive TCCs were generated by serial dilution. The Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer was used to measure the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) as an indicator of glycolytic function. Additionally, T-cell proliferation and cytokine release (IFN-γ) assay were utilised to correlate the bioenergetic characteristics of T-cell activation with in vitro assays. RESULTS Model T-cell stimulants induced non-specific T-cell activation, characterised by immediate augmentation of ECAR and rate of ATP production (JATPglyc). There was a dose-dependent and drug-specific glycolytic shift when vancomycin-reactive TCCs were exposed to the drug. Vancomycin-reactive TCCs did not exhibit T-cell cross-reactivity with structurally similar compounds within proliferative and cytokine readouts. However, cross-reactivity was observed when analysing energetic responses; TCCs with prior specificity for vancomycin were also found to exhibit glycolytic switching after exposure to teicoplanin. Glycolytic activation of TCC was HLA restricted, as exposure to HLA blockade attenuated the glycolytic induction. CONCLUSION These studies describe the glycolytic shift of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells following vancomycin exposure. Since similar glycolytic switching is observed with teicoplanin, which did not activate T cells, it is possible the master switch for T-cell activation is located upstream of metabolic signalling.

Abstract
In vitro preclinical drug-induced liver injury (DILI) risk assessment relies largely on the use of hepatocytes to measure drug-specific changes in cell function or viability. Unfortunately, this does not provide indications toward the immunogenicity of drugs and/or the likelihood of idiosyncratic reactions in the clinic. This is because the molecular initiating event in immune DILI is an interaction of the drug-derived antigen with MHC proteins and the T-cell receptor. This study utilized immune cells from drug-naïve donors, recently established immune cell coculture systems and blinded compounds with and without DILI liabilities to determine whether these new methods offer an improvement over established assessment methods for the prediction of immune-mediated DILI. Ten blinded test compounds (6 with known DILI liabilities; 4 with lower DILI liabilities) and 5 training compounds, with known T-cell-mediated immune reactions in patients, were investigated. Naïve T-cells were activated with 4/5 of the training compounds (nitroso sulfamethoxazole, vancomycin, Bandrowski's base, and carbamazepine) and clones derived from the priming assays were activated with drug in a dose-dependent manner. The test compounds with DILI liabilities did not stimulate T-cell proliferative responses during dendritic cell-T-cell coculture; however, CD4+ clones displaying reactivity were detected toward 2 compounds (ciprofloxacin and erythromycin) with known liabilities. Drug-responsive T-cells were not detected with the compounds with lower DILI liabilities. This study provides compelling evidence that assessment of intrinsic drug immunogenicity, although complex, can provide valuable information regarding immune liabilities of some compounds prior to clinical studies or when immune reactions are observed in patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flucloxacillin (FLX)-induced liver injury is immune-mediated and highly associated to HLA-B∗57:01 expression. Host factors leading to drug-induced liver injury are not yet well understood. OBJECTIVE Characterize in vivo immune mechanisms determining the development of CD8+ T cells reactive to FLX in animals expressing the risk human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allotype. METHODS HLA-B∗57:01 transgenic mice (Tg) or Tg strains with H2-KbDb knockout (Tg/KO) or H2-KbDb/PD-1 double knockout (Tg/DKO) were treated with drug and/or anti-CD4 antibody. Drug-induced liver injury was evaluated on the basis of liver enzyme and histologic changes at day 10 of treatment. FLX-reactive CD8+ T cells were characterized in vitro by release of effector molecules on drug restimulation, gene expression, and flow cytometry analysis, and functionality tested for hepatic cytotoxicity. RESULTS CD8+ T-cell responses to FLX in Tg were dependent on both HLA and mouse major histocompatibility complex I presentation and in vivo priming. Eliminating H2-KbDb in Tg/KO to allow exclusive presentation of FLX by HLA resulted in a less robust drug-specific CD8+T-cell response unless CD4+ cells, including regulatory T cells, were depleted. Treatment of Tg/KO with anti-CD4 antibody and FLX led to subclinical liver inflammation associated with an increase in PD1+CD8+ T cells in the lymphoid organs and liver. Impaired PD-1 expression in Tg/DKO led to liver histopathologic and transcriptional alterations but without hepatic enzyme elevations. Moreover, effector lymphocytes accumulated in the liver and showed FLX-dependent hepatic cytotoxicity in vitro when tolerogenic liver cells were depleted. CONCLUSIONS In our in vivo models, FLX primes CD8+ T cells to recognize drug presented by HLA-B∗57:01 and murine major histocompatibility complex I. HLA-B∗57:01-dependent CD8+ T-cell reaction to FLX is limited by the presence of CD4+ cells, presumably regulatory T cells, and PD-1 expression. Tolerogenic hepatic cells limit clinical disease through PD-L1 or additional unexplored mechanisms.

Abstract
Immune-mediated type IV adverse drug reactions are idiosyncratic in nature, generally not related to the primary or secondary pharmacology of the drug. Due to their complex nature and rarity, these iatrogenic reactions are seldom predicted or encountered during preclinical/early clinical development stages, and often precipitate upon exposure to wider populations (i.e. phase III onwards). They confer a burden on the healthcare sector in both a clinical and financial sense presenting a severe impediment to the drug discovery and development process. Research over the past 50 years has improved our understanding of these reactions markedly as both in vitro and in vivo studies have placed the role of the immune system, in particular; drug-responsive T cells, firmly in the spotlight as the mediators of these reactions. Indeed, the role of different populations of T cells in adverse events and the interaction of drug molecules with HLA proteins expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells is of considerable interest. Herein, this review examines the pathways of immune-mediated adverse events including the various T cell subtypes implicated and the mechanisms of T cell activation. Additionally, we address the enigma of immunological tolerance and explore the role tolerance plays in determination of susceptibility to such adverse events even in individuals carrying immunogenic liabilities.

Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions induced by small molecule drugs encompass a broad spectrum of adverse drug reactions with heterogeneous clinical presentations and mechanisms. These reactions are classified into allergic drug hypersensitivity reactions and non-allergic drug hypersensitivity reactions. At present, the hapten theory, pharmacological interaction with immune receptors (p-i) concept, altered peptide repertoire model, and altered T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire model have been proposed to explain how small molecule drugs or their metabolites induce allergic drug hypersensitivity reactions. Meanwhile, direct activation of mast cells, provoking the complement system, stimulating or inhibiting inflammatory reaction-related enzymes, accumulating bradykinin, and/or triggering vascular hyperpermeability are considered as the main factors causing non-allergic drug hypersensitivity reactions. To date, many investigations have been performed to explore the underlying mechanisms involved in drug hypersensitivity reactions and to search for predictive and preventive methods in both clinical and non-clinical trials. However, validated methods for predicting and diagnosing hypersensitivity reactions to small molecule drugs and deeper insight into the relevant underlying mechanisms are still limited.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW T-cell-mediated drug hypersensitivity is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality, and represents a substantial clinical concern. The purpose of this article is to focus on T-cell reactions and discuss recent advances in disease pathogenesis by exploring the impact of tolerance mechanisms in determining susceptibility in genetically predisposed patients. RECENT FINDINGS Certain drugs preferentially activate pathogenic T cells that have defined pathways of effector function. Thus, a critical question is what extenuating factors influence the direction of immune activation. A large effort has been given towards identifying phenotypic (e.g., infection) or genotypic (e.g., human leukocyte antigen) associations which predispose individuals to drug hypersensitivity. However, many individuals expressing known risk factors safely tolerate drug administration. Thus, mechanistic insight is needed to determine what confers this tolerance. Herein, we discuss recent clinical/mechanistic findings which indicate that the direction in which the immune system is driven relies upon a complex interplay between co-stimulatory/co-regulatory pathways which themselves depend upon environmental inputs from the innate immune system. SUMMARY It is becoming increasingly apparent that tolerance mechanisms impact on susceptibility to drug hypersensitivity. As the field moves forward it will be interesting to discover whether active tolerance is the primary response to drug exposure, with genetic factors such as HLA acting as a sliding scale, influencing the degree of regulation required to prevent clinical reactions in patients.

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 (DH) reactions are clinically unusual because the underlying immune stimulations are not antigen-driven, but due to non-covalent drug-protein binding. The drugs may bind to immune receptors like HLA or TCR which elicits a strong T cell reaction (p-i concept), the binding may enhance the affinity of antibodies (enhanced affinity model), or drug binding may occur on soluble proteins which imitate a true antigen (fake antigen model). These novel models of DH could have a major impact on how to perform risk assessments in drug development. Herein, we discuss the difficulties of detecting such non-covalent, labile and reversible, but immunologically relevant drug-protein interactions early on in drug development. The enormous diversity of the immune system, varying interactions, and heterogeneous functional consequences make it to a challenging task. We propose that a realistic approach to detect clinically relevant non-covalent drug interactions for a new drug could be based on a combination of in vitro cell culture assays (using a panel of HLA typed donor cells) and functional analyses, supplemented by structural analysis (computational data) of the reactive cells/molecules. When drug-reactive cells/molecules with functional impact are detected in these risk assessments, a close clinical monitoring of the drug may reveal the true incidence of DH, as suppressing but also enhancing factors occurring in vivo can influence the clinical manifestation of a DH.

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.

Drug-specific T-cell responses in patients with liver injury following treatment with the BACE inhibitor atabecestat. Allergy 2021; 76:1825-1835. [PMID: 33150583 DOI: 10.1111/all.14652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2020] [Revised: 10/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Atabecestat is an orally administered BACE inhibitor developed to treat Alzheimer's disease. Elevations in hepatic enzymes were detected in a number of in trial patients, which resulted in termination of the drug development programme. Immunohistochemical characterization of liver tissue from an index case of atabecestat-mediated liver injury revealed an infiltration of T-lymphocytes in areas of hepatocellular damage. This coupled with the fact that liver injury had a delayed onset suggests that the adaptive immune system may be involved in the pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to generate and characterize atabecestat(metabolite)-responsive T-cell clones from patients with liver injury. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured with atabecestat and its metabolites (diaminothiazine [DIAT], N-acetyl DIAT & epoxide) and cloning was attempted in a number of patients. Atabecestat(metabolite)-responsive clones were analysed in terms of T-cell phenotype, function, pathways of T-cell activation and cross-reactivity with structurally related compounds. RESULTS CD4+ T-cell clones activated with the DIAT metabolite were detected in 5 out of 8 patients (up to 4.5% cloning efficiency). Lower numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ clones displayed reactivity against atabecestat. Clones proliferated and secreted IFN-γ, IL-13 and cytolytic molecules following atabecestat or DIAT stimulation. Certain atabecestat and DIAT-responsive clones cross-reacted with N-acetyl DIAT; however, no cross-reactivity was observed between atabecestat and DIAT. CD4+ clones were activated through a direct, reversible compound-HLA class II interaction with no requirement for protein processing. CONCLUSION The detection of atabecestat metabolite-responsive T-cell clones activated via a pharmacological interactions pathway in patients with liver injury is indicative of an immune-based mechanism for the observed hepatic enzyme elevations.

Abstract
Mitigating the risk of drug hypersensitivity reactions is an important facet of a given pharmaceutical, with poor performance in this area of safety often leading to warnings, restrictions and withdrawals. In the last 50 years, efforts to diagnose, manage, and circumvent these obscure, iatrogenic diseases have resulted in the development of assays at all stages of a drugs lifespan. Indeed, this begins with intelligent lead compound selection/design to minimize the existence of deleterious chemical reactivity through exclusion of ominous structural moieties. Preclinical studies then investigate how compounds interact with biological systems, with emphasis placed on modeling immunological/toxicological liabilities. During clinical use, competent and accurate diagnoses are sought to effectively manage patients with such ailments, and pharmacovigilance datasets can be used for stratification of patient populations in order to optimise safety profiles. Herein, an overview of some of the in-vitro approaches to predict intrinsic immunogenicity of drugs and diagnose culprit drugs in allergic patients after exposure is detailed, with current perspectives and opportunities provided.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is highly polymorphic and encodes 13 proteins which are critical to the production of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. As mtDNA is maternally inherited and undergoes negligible recombination, acquired mutations have subdivided the human population into several discrete haplogroups. Mitochondrial haplogroup has been found to significantly alter mitochondrial function and impact susceptibility to adverse drug reactions. Despite these findings, there are currently limited models to assess the effect of mtDNA variation upon susceptibility to adverse drug reactions. Platelets offer a potential personalised model of this variation, as their anucleate nature offers a source of mtDNA without interference from the nuclear genome. This study, therefore, aimed to determine the effect of mtDNA variation upon mitochondrial function and drug-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in a platelet model. The mtDNA haplogroup of 383 healthy volunteers was determined using next-generation mtDNA sequencing (Illumina MiSeq). Subsequently, 30 of these volunteers from mitochondrial haplogroups H, J, T and U were recalled to donate fresh, whole blood from which platelets were isolated. Platelet mitochondrial function was tested at basal state and upon treatment with compounds associated with both mitochondrial dysfunction and adverse drug reactions, flutamide, 2-hydroxyflutamide and tolcapone (10–250 μM) using extracellular flux analysis. This study has demonstrated that freshly-isolated platelets are a practical, primary cell model, which is amenable to the study of drug-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Specifically, platelets from donors of haplogroup J have been found to have increased susceptibility to the inhibition of complex I-driven respiration by 2-hydroxyflutamide. At a time when individual susceptibility to adverse drug reactions is not fully understood, this study provides evidence that inter-individual variation in mitochondrial genotype could be a factor in determining sensitivity to mitochondrial toxicants associated with costly adverse drug reactions.

Abstract
Use of the atypical antipsychotic clozapine is associated with life-threatening agranulocytosis. The delayed onset and the association with HLA variants are characteristic of an immunological mechanism. The objective of this study was to generate clozapine-specific T cell clones (TCC) and characterize pathways of T cell activation and cross-reactivity with clozapine metabolites and olanzapine. TCC were established and characterized by culturing PBMCs from healthy donors and patients with a history of clozapine-induced agranulocytosis. Modeling was used to explore the drug-HLA binding interaction. Global TCC protein changes were profiled by mass spectrometry. Six well-growing clozapine-responsive CD4+ and CD8+ TCC were used for experiments; activation of TCC required APC, with clozapine interacting directly at therapeutic concentrations with several HLA-DR molecules. TCC were also activated with N-desmethylclozapine and olanzapine at supratherapeutic concentrations. Marked changes in TCC protein expression profiles were observed when clozapine treatment was compared with olanzapine and the medium control. Docking of the compounds into the HLA-DRB1*15:01 and HLA-DRB1*04:01 binding clefts revealed that clozapine and olanzapine bind in a similar conformation to the P4-P6 peptide binding pockets, whereas clozapine N-oxide, which did not activate the TCC, bound in a different conformation. TCC secreted Th1, Th2, and Th22 cytokines and effector molecules and expressed TCR Vβ 5.1, 16, 20, and 22 as well as chemokine receptors CXCR3, CCR6, CCR4, and CCR9. Collectively, these data show that clozapine interacts at therapeutic concentrations with HLA-DR molecules and activates human CD4+ T cells. Olanzapine only activates TCC at supratherapeutic concentrations.

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
Current gaps in drug safety sciences can result from the inability (1) to identify hazard across multiple target organs, (2) to predict and risk assess with certainty against drug safety liabilities for the major target organs, (3) to optimally manage and mitigate against drug safety liabilities, and (4) to apply principles of governance on the generation, integration, and use of experimental data. Translational safety assessment to evaluate several target-organ drug toxicities can only be partially achieved by use of current in vitro and in vivo test systems. What remains to be tackled necessitates the deployment of in vitro-human-relevant test systems to address human specific or selective forms of toxicities. Nevertheless, such models may only address in part some of the requirements in today's armament of biomedical tools essential for improving the discovery of drug candidates. Refinement of in silico tools, Target Safety Assessment and a greater understanding of mechanistic insights of toxicities might provide future opportunities to better identify drug safety liabilities. The increasing diversity of drug modalities present further challenges for nonclinical and clinical development requiring further research to develop suitable test systems and technologies. Our ability to optimally manage and mitigate safety risk will come from the greater refinement of safety margin estimates, provision and use of human-relevant safety biomarkers, and understanding of the translation from in silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies to human. An improvement of governance frameworks and standards at all levels within organizations, national, and international, can only help facilitate drug discovery and development programs.

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.

Evaluating a Multiscale Mechanistic Model of the Immune System to Predict Human Immunogenicity for a Biotherapeutic in Phase 1. AAPS JOURNAL 2019; 21:94. [PMID: 31342199 DOI: 10.1208/s12248-019-0361-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2018] [Accepted: 06/28/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
A mechanistic model of the immune response was evaluated for its ability to predict anti-drug antibody (ADA) and their impact on pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) for a biotherapeutic in a phase 1 clinical trial. Observed ADA incidence ranged from 33 to 67% after single doses and 27-50% after multiple doses. The model captured the single dose incidence well; however, there was overprediction after multiple dosing. The model was updated to include a T-regulatory (Treg) cell mediated tolerance, which reduced the overprediction (relative decrease in predicted incidence rate of 21.5-59.3% across multidose panels) without compromising the single dose predictions (relative decrease in predicted incidence rate of 0.6-13%). The Treg-adjusted model predicted no ADA impact on PK or PD, consistent with the observed data. A prospective phase 2 trial was simulated, including co-medication effects in the form of corticosteroid-induced immunosuppression. Predicted ADA incidences were 0-10%, depending on co-medication dosage. This work demonstrates the utility in applying an integrated, iterative modeling approach to predict ADA during different stages of clinical development.

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
The HLA class I allele HLA-A*33:03 is a risk factor for ticlopidine-induced liver injury. Herein, we show HLA class I-restricted ticlopidine-specific CD8+ T-cell activation in healthy donors expressing HLA-A*33:03. Cloned CD8+ T-cells proliferated and secreted IFN-γ in the presence of ticlopidine and autologous antigen presenting cells. A reduction of the T-cell response after blocking with HLA-class I and HLA-A*33 antibodies indicates that the interaction between drugs and the HLA allele detected in genetic association studies may be important for T-cell activation.

Abstract
Adverse drug reactions (ADR) can be broadly categorised as either on-target or off-target. On-target ADRs arise as a direct consequence of the pharmacological properties of the drug and are therefore predictable and dose-dependent. On-target ADRs comprise the majority (>80%) of ADRs, relate to the drug's interaction with its known pharmacological target and are a result of a complex interplay of genetic and ecologic factors. In contrast, off-target ADRs, including immune-mediated ADRs (IM-ADRs), are due to unintended pharmacological interactions such as inadvertent ligation of host cell receptors or non-pharmacological interactions mediated through an adaptive immune response. IM-ADRs can be classified according to the primary immune cell involved and include B-cell-mediated (Gell-Coombs type I-III reactions) and T-cell-mediated (Gell-Coombs type IV or delayed hypersensitivity) reactions. IM-ADRs mediated by T cells are associated with phenotypically distinct clinical diagnoses and can vary from a mild delayed rash to a life-threatening cutaneous, systemic or organ disease, such as Stephen Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms and drug-induced liver disease. T-cell-mediated ADRs are strongly linked to the carriage of particular HLA risk alleles which are in the case of abacavir hypersensitivity and HLA-B*57:01 has led to translation into the clinic as a routine screening test. In this review, we will discuss the immunogenetics and pathogenesis of IM-ADRs and how HLA associations inform both pre-drug screening strategies and mechanistic understanding.

Abstract
Dapsone (DDS) causes hypersensitivity reactions in 0.5-3.6% of patients. Although clinical diagnosis is indicative of a hypersensitivity reaction, studies have not been performed to define whether dapsone or a metabolite activates specific T-cells. Thus, the aims of this study were to explore the immunogenicity DDS and nitroso DDS (DDS-NO) using peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors and splenocytes from mice and generate human T-cell clones to characterize mechanisms of T-cell activation. DDS-NO was synthesized from DDS-hydroxylamine and shown to bind to the thiol group of glutathione and human and mouse albumin through sulfonamide and N-hydroxyl sulphonamide adducts. Naïve T-cell priming to DDS and DDS-NO was successful in three human donors. DDS-specific CD4+ T-cell clones were stimulated to proliferate in response to drug via a MHC class II restricted direct binding interaction. Cross reactivity with DDS-NO, DDS-analogues, and sulfonamides was not observed. DDS-NO clones were CD4+ and CD8+, MHC class II and I restricted, respectively, and activated via a pathway dependent on covalent binding and antigen processing. DDS and DDS-NO-specific clones secreted a mixture of Th1 and Th2 cytokines, but not granzyme-B. Splenocytes from mice immunized with DDS-NO were stimulated to proliferate in vitro with the nitroso metabolite, but not DDS. In contrast, immunization with DDS did not activate T-cells. These data show that DDS- and DDS-NO-specific T-cell responses are readily detectable.
