1 Pathogenetic mechanisms in atypical HUS Seppo Meri University & University Hospital Helsinki, Finland Antalya, Turkey Photo: Markku Kallio

2 HUS after eating Kebab - 22 yo female - watery diarrhea one day after eating steak kebab - admitted to nephrology ward 1 week later with acute kidney injury and hemolytic anemia - symptoms: nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain oliguria, urine dipstick: 3+ blood and protein platelets 25x 10 9 /l, Hb 72 g/l, RBC fragments - NO rash/joint pain/weight loss/ bleeding/ fever or focal neurological symptoms HUS after eating Kebab: why?

3 Many human diseases are linked to complement activation Diseases affecting kidneys Others Dense deposit disease (DDD) C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) Hemolytic uremic syndrome (ahus and EHEC-HUS) Systemic lupus erythematosus Antibody-mediated kidney rejection Catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (CAPS) Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) Ab Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) Myocardial infarction Sepsis, ARDS Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) Hemolytic anemia (AIHA) Rheumatoid arthritis

4 Complement activation in various human diseases Diseases affecting kidneys Others Dense deposit disease (DDD) C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) Hemolytic uremic syndrome (ahus and EHEC-HUS) Systemic lupus erythematosus Antibody-mediated kidney rejection Catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (CAPS) Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) Ab Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) Myocardial infarction Sepsis, ARDS Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) Hemolytic anemia (AIHA) Rheumatoid arthritis

5 Complement activation C3 convertase Functions of complement: 1. Lysis (MAC) 2. Opsonization (C3b, C4b, C1q) 3. Chemotaxis and activation of phagocytes (C5a) 4. Inflammation (C5a, C3a, C5b-9) - mediator release from mast cells - increased permeability of blood vessels 5. Processing of immune aggregates 6. Strengthening adaptive immune responses - > Pathological consequences: inflammation, tissue damage, thrombosis MAC Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA)

Strengthening adaptive immune responses - > Pathological consequences: inflammation, tissue damage, thrombosis MAC Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA)

7 Factor H protects self tissues from C attack -> mutations, polymorphisms and autoantibodies predispose to disease FH DDD (MPGN2) CRP C3b PTX3 C3c C3d AMD ahus C3b Dense Deposit Disease (DDD) Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)

8 Complement inhibitors MCP = membrane cofactor protein - cofactor in C3b inactivation DAF = decay accelerating factor - promotes decay of C3bBb CD59 = protectin (MAC-inhibitor) C3b inactivator (Factor I) Factor H 1) Cofactor activity (FH, MCP, CR1) 2) Decay accelerating activity (FH, DAF, CR1)

9 MCP = membrane cofactor protein - cofactor in C3b inactivation DAF = decay accelerating factor - promotes decay of C3bBb CD59 = protectin (MAC-inhibitor) Complement inhibitors C3b inactivator (Factor I) Factor H Mutations in ahus 1) Cofactor activity (FH, MCP, CR1) 2) Decay accelerating activity (FH, DAF, CR1)

10 Self-control by factor H Factor H ic3b Vascular endothelia and blood cells are protected by polyanions: sialic acids, phospholipids and glycosaminoglycans Hyvärinen et al, Blood, 2016; Convay, Blood, 2016

11 Molecular mechanism of ahus Nonself low avidity Self high avidity FH-related ahus is caused by a failure in FH19-20 binding to cell surface C3b + sialic acid Jokiranta et al, EMBO J, 2006; Kajander et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci, 2011; Hyvärinen et al, Blood, 2016

12 Complement-mediated vascular damage in ahus PNH = paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria Meri, Eur J Int Med, 2013

13 Patient: Campylobacter Stool culture: Campylobacter jejuni HS: 50, Pen O:2 (no EHEC) - supportive treatment, no antibiotics, hemodialysis started - ADAMTS13 13%, ANCA, ANA, anti-gbm antibodies negative - discharged 2 weeks later BUT readmitted 4 days later with hemoptysis, edema and worsened renal function - X-ray: diffuse bilateral patchy shadowing. Antibiotics started, respiratory function declined. - admitted to ICU. Intubated. After i.v. prednisolone (3 days) rapid improvement -> extubated 4 days later HUS after campylobacter infection: why?

15 Self-control by factor H Factor H ic3b GM3 Vascular endothelia and blood cells are protected by gangliosides Blaum et al, Nat Chem Biol, 2015; Hyvärinen et al, Blood, 2016; Convay, Blood, 2016

17 Complement analyses in the diagnostics of TMA/HUS 1. Total complement activity (CP, AP, LP) C3, C4, FH levels (may be normal in ahus) ADAMTS13 level (decreased in TTP) 2. Complement activation products (Bb, SC5b-9) (in specialised laboratories) 3. Mutation analyses: ahus: FH, MCP, FI, C3, B, THBD DDD and C3GN: FH, FHRs, C3 4. Autoantibody analyses DDD: anti-c3bbb (= C3 nephritic factor) ahus: anti-fh TTP: anti-adamts13 5. Shiga-toxin E. coli (culture, toxin detection) 6. Campylobacter & antiganglioside antibodies DDD, C3GN STEC-HUS khus
