Donor aKIR genes influence the risk of EBV and CMV reactivation after anti-thymocyte globulin-based haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. HLA 2024; 103:e15320. [PMID: 38081622 DOI: 10.1111/tan.15320] [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: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers the highest curative potential for patients with hematological malignancies. Complications including infection, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and relapse reflect delayed or dysregulated immune reconstitution. After transplantation, NK cells rapidly reconstitute and are crucial for immune surveillance and immune tolerance. NK cell function is tightly regulated by killer immunoglobin-like receptors (KIRs). Previous studies have revealed that donor KIRs, especially some activated KIRs (aKIRs) are closely related to transplant outcomes. Here, we performed a retrospective study, including 323 patients who received haploidentical (haplo) HSCT in our center. In univariate analysis, donor KIR2DS1, KIR2DS3 and KIR3DS1 gene protected patients with lymphoid disease from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation, while donor KIR2DS1, KIR2DS5 and KIR3DS1 gene conferred a higher risk of CMV reactivation for patients with myeloid disease. Multivariate analysis confirmed that donor telomeric (Tel) B/x and KIR2DS3 gene best protected patients with lymphoid disease from EBV (p = 0.017) and CMV reactivation (p = 0.004). In myeloid disease, grafts lacking Tel B/x and KIR2DS5 gene correlated with the lowest risk of CMV reactivation (p = 0.018). Besides, donor aKIR genes did not influence the rates of GVHD, relapse, non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS) in this study. The reactivation of EBV and CMV was associated with poor prognosis of haplo-HSCT. In conclusion, we found that donor aKIR genes might have a synergistic effect on CMV and EBV reactivation after haplo-HSCT. Whether the influence of donor aKIR genes varies with disease types remained to be studied.

Abstract
The gene complex located on chromosome 19q13.4 encodes the Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIRs), which exhibit remarkable polymorphism in both gene content and sequences. Further, the repertoire of KIR genes varies within and between populations, creating a diverse pool of KIR genotypes. This study was carried out to characterize KIR genotypes and haplotypes among 379 Arab Kuwaiti individuals including 60 subjects from 20 trio families, 49 hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients and 270 healthy Kuwaiti volunteer HCT donors. KIR Genotyping was performed by a combination of reverse sequence specific oligonucleotide probes (rSSO) and/or Real Time PCR. The frequencies of KIR genes in 270 healthy Kuwaiti volunteer donors were compared to previously reported frequencies in other populations. In addition, we compared the differences in KIR repertoire of patients and healthy donors to investigate the reproducibility of previously reported significant differences between patients with hematological malignancies and healthy donors. The observed frequencies in our cohort volunteer HCT donors was comparable to those reported in neighboring Arab populations. The activating genes KIR2DS1, KIR2DS5 and KIR3DS1 and the inhibitory gene KIR2DL5 were significantly more frequent in patients compared to healthy donors, however, none of the previously reported differences were reproducible in our Kuwaiti cohort. This report is the first description of KIR gene carrier frequency and haplotype characterization in a fairly large cohort of the Kuwaiti population, which may have implications in KIR based HCT donor selection strategies.

Abstract
Introduction. Currently, more and more attention is being paid to possible strategies for preventing the development of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and reducing the risk of infections while maintaining the antitumor effect — graft-versus-leukemia effect (GVL). In this context, the study of natural killer cells (NK-cells) seems to be quite promising.Aim – to analyze the biological and functional properties of NK-cells after allo-HSCT, their reconstitution after transplantation and factors affecting this process, as well as the mechanisms of alloreactivity of NK cells in patients after allo-HSCT. Main findings. Various types of activating or inhibiting receptors, which are expressed on NK-cells, regulate the functions of NK-cells. Among them, the main role is played by the killer immunoglobin-like receptor (KIR-receptor), which mediates tolerance to one’s own cells and the immune response, both antitumor and directed against infectious agents. NK-cells can play a decisive role in preventing early relapses and infectious complications, as they are among the first to recover after allo-HSCT. They also have the ability to eliminate the recipient’s T-cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs), thereby preventing the development of graft failure and GVHD. There are several models of NK alloreactivity based on KIR; however, the results of studies in this area are contradictory. This review summarizes the available literature data.

Abstract
Numerous reports suggest that activating killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (aKIRs) of natural killer (NK) cells, in addition to inhibitory KIRs (iKIRs), play a prognostic role after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We aimed to investigate the association between the dynamic expression of KIRs on NK cells and the outcomes, particularly regarding graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). This study retrospectively enrolled 260 pairs of donors and recipients who had undergone allo-HSCT without in-vitro T cell depletion. The mRNA transcription level of KIRs was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The levels of aKIR transcripts were decreased more than those of iKIRs during the occurrence of GvHD. The transcription levels of KIR2DS2 and KIR2DS4 in the patients developing GvHD, compared with those who were at a tolerance state, showed the most significant decrease in the month at their peak transcription levels (p = 0.03, p = 0.002). Significantly decreased expression of KIR2DS1 (p = 0.02), KIR2DS3 (p = 0.04) and KIR2DS5 (p = 0.04) in the GvHD group was observed when the transcription level reached a maximum. High expression of KIR3DS1 was associated with superior overall survival (OS) (p < 0.001). The expression of KIR2DS4 in the KIR genotype Bx group decreased more during GvHD, particularly at 3M (p = 0.02). These findings suggest that KIR genes are potential post-HSCT biomarkers and dynamic changes in the KIR transcription levels can be detected to better predict the occurrence and evaluate the treatment of GvHD after transplantation.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells play a significant role in immune tolerance and immune surveillance. Killer immunoglobin-like receptors (KIRs), which recognize human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules, are particularly important for NK cell functions. Previous studies have suggested that, in the setting of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), alloreactive NK cells from the donor could efficiently eliminate recipient tumor cells and the residual immune cells. Subsequently, several clinical models were established to determine the optimal donors who would exhibit a graft-vs. -leukemia (GVL) effect without developing graft-vs. -host disease (GVHD). In addition, hypotheses about specific beneficial receptor-ligand pairs and KIR genes have been raised and the favorable effects of alloreactive NK cells are being investigated. Moreover, with a deeper understanding of the process of NK cell reconstitution post-HSCT, new factors involved in this process and the defects of previous models have been observed. In this review, we summarize the most relevant literatures about the impact of NK cell alloreactivity on transplant outcomes and the factors affecting NK cell reconstitution.

Abstract
Killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor genes expressed by the natural killer cells and T cells of some subclasses are one of the very diversity and complex gene families on chromosome 19q13.4 which play key developmental role in the fight against viral infections, malignantly transformed cells and so on in the first line. As potential markers, KIRs have received more and more attention for some infections and diseases which have some clinical outcomes. In addition, the KIRs are diverse in different populations due to the distinctive alleles and haplotypes, may contribute to understand the genetic relationships among populations. To data, there is no report on the KIR gene polymorphism of the Kirgiz ethnic minority. The purpose of this paper is to determine the KIR gene diversity: KIR gene presence/absence polymorphisms, haplotype/genotype polymorphisms and these polymorphisms between populations distributed worldwide. In this study, we have genotyped the 19 KIR genes: KIR2DL1-4, 2DL5A, 2DL5B, 2DS1-3, 2DS4*FUL, 2DS4*DEL, 2DS5, 3DL1-3, 3DS1, 2DP1, 3DP1*FUL and 3DP1*DEL, and two unique genotypes are found in two Kirgiz individuals. The PCA plot, Neighbor-Joining tree analysis and MDS plot are conducted and the groups of the same language family gather together basically. KIR gene diversity study of populations distributed in different parts of the world. shows that KIRs can be used as a supplement for human genetic researches.
