1 The role of HLA in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Platelet Refractoriness. Robert Liwski, MD, PhD, FRCPC Medical Director HLA Typing Laboratory Department of Pathology Dalhousie University DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY Inspiring minds

2 Introduction Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is a commonly used treatment for hematologic malignancies or bone marrow failure syndromes/immunodeficiency

3 Indications for Allogeneic HSCT Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) Plasma cell myeloma Aplastic anemia Congenital bone marrow failure syndromes Congenital immunodeficiency (SCID) Sickle cell anemia Thalassemia Selected solid tumors

4 Allogeneic HSCT Conditioning with high dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy lethal Transplant with stem cell from healthy allogeneic donor. PBSC mobilized with G CSF BM Umbilical cord

5 Hematopoiesis

6 Allogeneic HSCT Transplant of the immune system. Immunosuppression necessary to prevent/minimize Host vs Graft (HVG) and Graft vs Host (GVH) Disease. May get cure due to Graft vs Leukemia (GVL) effect.

7 HVG, GVH,GVL T cell mediated reactions against the graft (stem cells), host tissue, or leukemia (malignancy). Due to T cell mediated recognition of either major or minor histocompatibility differences (MHC, and mhc) between the donor an recipient. In humans MHC molecules are named Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA).

8 HLA class I and class II antigens Monomer with non Heterodimer covalently associated subunit (β2m) Presents antigenic peptides to CD4+ T Presents antigenic tge cells peptides to CD8+ T cells Restricted expression on antigen presenting Expressed dby all cells (dendritic d cells, B nucleated cells cells, macrophages) including endothelium Inducible on other cells (endothelium and epithelium)

Causes sensitization (T cell response and antibody response) Can lead to graft rejection (failure to engraft) or GVHD

56 Platelet Transfusion Refractoriness Definition a post-transfusion platelet count that is less than expected 1h corrected count increment (CCI) 9 < 5 10 x 10 9 /L percent platelet recovery (PPR) < 20% 1h CCI < 5 x 10 9 /L x2 (twice) using ABOidentical platelets 56

57 Platelet Transfusion Refractoriness Incidence 7-34% in hematology/oncology patients depending on a study and definition of refractoriness (Hod and Schwartz, 2008). 57

58 Platelet Transfusion Refractoriness - Etiology Non-immune causes fever sepsis splenomegaly DIC bleeding VOD GVHD 58

59 Immune causes Platelet Transfusion Anti-ABO antibodies Refractoriness Anti-HPA antibodies (2-11%, may be auto and/or transient) Anti-HLA antibodies (Class I HLA only, A and B) Anti HLA antibodies (Class I HLA only, A and B) account for the majority of cases of immune causes.

60 Platelet Transfusion Refractoriness - Etiology causes of alloimmunization: - transfusion (contaminating leukocytes) - pregnancy - transplantation 60

61 TRAP Study, Schlichter et. al Leukocyte reduction and ultraviolet B irradiation of platelets to prevent alloimmunization and refractoriness to platelet transfusions. N Engl J Med 1997; 337:1861-9

62 Platelet Transfusion Refractoriness - Etiology Proportion of cases due to immune vs non-immune etiologies is not clear. Incidence varies depending on a study and HLA antibody detection methods. Most studies performed in the 1980s and 1990s utilizing older and less reliable HLA antibody detection techniques. 62

80 HLA Alloimmunization Rate In The Setting Of Refractoriness To Platelet Transfusion: A Single Center Study Sharpe C, Liwski R, Couban S, Sadek I, Kahwash E

81 Patients/Methods 33 platelet refractory patients identified at the QEII hospital between 01/06and06/11 06/ male 15 female 28 diagnosed with a hematological malignancy platelet refractoriness: platelet count rise of <10X10 9 /L within 24 hours post tx of ABO matched single donor platelets on at least 2 occasions. HLA antibody analysis was performed by single antigen luminex assay at the CBS laboratory in Winnipeg. PRA was calculated using OPTN cpra calculator

82 Results HLA antibodies were found in 42% of patients 4/18 males (22%) 10/15 females (67%) Degree of sensitization males were mildly sensitized with an average PRA of 33% (range 11 62%) females were highly sensitized (PRA values %) No association between the presence of HLA antibodies and either patient t diagnosis i or a history of allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

83 Conclusions/Implications We found that in most patients (60%) platelet refractoriness was due to non immunological causes. Approximately 2/3 of sensitized patients (all females) were highly hl sensitized (PRA = %) and would require HLA matched platelets. Approximately 1/3 of the sensitized patients (all males) had low PRA values and could probably be managed with using antigen negative platelets. ltlt
