The clinical impact of donor against recipient HLA one way mismatch on the occurrence of graft versus host disease in liver transplantation. Sci Rep 2022; 12:20337. [PMID: 36434131 PMCID: PMC9700759 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-24778-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) after liver transplantation (LT) is a rare, fatal disease. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of GVHD after LT including the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) donor-recipient relationship after LT. LT recipients, who underwent HLA typing together with donors, were included in the study. The donor against recipient (D → R) one-way mismatch of HLA loci was evaluated. HLA relationships, along with basic characteristics, were analyzed as variable factors of GVHD, graft survival, and patient survival. A total of 994 living donor LT (LDLT) and 393 deceased donor LT (DDLT) patients were included. Nine patients had suffered GVHD, four LDLT with D → R one-way at three loci, one LDLT without D → R one-way at three loci, and four DDLT without D → R one-way at three loci. Four (57.1%) of seven LDLT patients, with D → R one-way mismatch at three loci, developed GVHD. D → R one-way mismatch at three loci was related to high GVHD incidence (HR 787, p < 0.001, multivariate). D → R one-way mismatch at three loci was related to graft failure and patient death (HR 9.90, p = 0.020 and HR 12.8, p < 0.001, respectively, multivariate). Only one GVHD without D → R one-way mismatch at three loci, survived despite receiving multiple modalities including tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors. D → R one-way mismatch at three loci was significantly related to GVHD incidence after LT.

Donor-dominant one-way matching of human leukocyte antigen-A/B/DR alleles predicts graft-versus-host disease following living donor liver transplantation. Hepatol Res 2021; 51:135-148. [PMID: 33034106 DOI: 10.1111/hepr.13579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Revised: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 09/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
AIM Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following liver transplantation is rare but fatal. Therefore, it is important to identify possible risk factors before transplantation. Although it has been suggested that donor-dominant one-way human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching of three loci (HLA-A/B/DR) is associated with the occurrence of GVHD, the precise significance of HLA matching including HLA-C/DQ/DP remains unclear. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the impact of donor-dominant one-way HLA matching at six HLA loci at the allele level on GVHD using clinical registry data from 1759 cases who underwent living donor liver transplantation between June 1990 and June 2019. We extracted cases with donor-dominant one-way HLA matching at the antigen level and reconfirmed them at the allele level using preserved DNA samples. RESULTS Three of four cases (75%) who developed GVHD showed donor-dominant one-way HLA matching at three HLA-A/B/DR loci. These cases also showed donor-dominant one-way HLA matching at HLA-C/DQ/DP. Three of six cases (50%) with donor-dominant one-way HLA matching at three loci of HLA-A/B/DR developed GVHD. Notably, none of the cases with donor-dominant one-way HLA matching at one or two HLA-A/B/DR loci developed GVHD, irrespective of matching status at HLA-C/DQ/DP. The HLA matching status at the antigen level was revised in 22 of 56 cases, following reconfirmation at the allele level. CONCLUSIONS Pairing of donors and recipients with donor-dominant one-way HLA matching at three HLA-A/B/DR loci should be avoided to prevent GVHD. No impact of HLA-C/DQ/DP on GVHD was identified. For liver transplantation, HLA genotypes should be determined at the allele level.

Dermatologic manifestations of solid organ transplantation-associated graft-versus-host disease: A systematic review. J Am Acad Dermatol 2017; 78:1097-1101.e1. [PMID: 29288097 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2017.12.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2017] [Revised: 12/12/2017] [Accepted: 12/18/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) after solid organ transplantation (SOT) is extremely rare. OBJECTIVE To investigate the dermatologic manifestations and clinical outcomes of SOT GVHD. METHODS Systematic literature review of SOT GVHD. RESULTS After full-text article review, we included 61 articles, representing 115 patients and 126 transplanted organs. The most commonly transplanted organ was the liver (n = 81). Among 115 patients, 101 (87.8%) developed skin involvement. The eruption appeared an average of 48.3 days (range, 3-243 days) posttransplant and was pruritic in 5 of 101 (4.9%) cases. The eruption was described as morbilliform in 2 patients (1.9%), confluent in 6 (5.9%), and desquamative in 4 (3.9%) cases. In many cases, specific dermatologic descriptions were lacking. The mortality rate was 72.2%. Relative time of death was reported in 23 patients who died during the follow-up period. These patients died an average of 99.2 days (range, 22-270 days) posttransplant, or 50.9 days after the appearance of dermatologic symptoms. Frequent causes of death were sepsis and multiorgan failure. LIMITATIONS Incomplete descriptions of skin findings and potential publication bias resulting in publication of only the most severe cases. CONCLUSIONS GVHD is a potentially fatal condition that can occur after SOT and often presents with a skin rash. We recommend that dermatologists have a low threshold to consider and pursue this diagnosis in the setting of post-SOT skin eruption.

Abstract
Acute GVHD is a rare complication after liver transplantation that has a high mortality rate. We experienced an infant case complicated with acute GVHD. An 8-month-old infant with biliary atresia underwent LDLT with a graft obtained from his mother. Their HLAs showed a donor-dominant one-way match, not at HLA-DR but at HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C (recipient; A 31/33, B 51/54, C 1/14, DR 9/11, donor; A 31/-, B 51/-, C 14/-, DR 8/11). The patient exhibited a high fever, skin rash, and diarrhea, and was diagnosed with acute GVHD based on the blood chimerism test. Despite immunosuppression treatment with prednisolone and tacrolimus, plasma exchange, blood transfusion including cord blood transplantation, and antibiotics, the child died on postoperative day 126. Donor-dominant one-way matching at HLA class 1 can be a high-risk factor for acute GVHD despite HLA class 2 mismatching.
