根据一项刊登在2012年8月30日那期New England Journal of Medicine期刊上的研究,患有急性髓系白血病(acute myeloid leukemia, AML)的病人接受来自携带有活性的杀伤性细胞免疫球蛋白样受体(killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor, KIR)基因型KIR2DS1的供者体内的干细胞移植物之后,他们有较低的疾病复发率,其中基因型KIR2DS1对人白细胞抗原-C2(human leukocyte antigen-C2, HLA-C2)拥有配体特异性。

来自美国纽约斯隆凯特灵纪念癌症中心Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center的Jeffrey M. Venstrom博士和同事们回顾了1277名患有AML的病人在接受来自非亲缘供者的异体造血干细胞移植物(allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplant)之后的数据。他们进行KIR基因型分析和评估供者KIR基因型的临床影响。

研究人员发现对于接受来自携带基因型KIR2DS1的供者的干细胞移植的病人而言,他们的疾病复发率显著性降低(危险比为0.76)。这种影响似乎是通过HLA-C来调节的,对于来自携带纯合性或杂合性HLA-C1抗原的供者的干细胞移植而言,它的保护性影响是显著性(复发率为24.9%),但是对于来自携带纯合性HLA-C2抗原的供者的干细胞移植而言,它的影响并不显著(复发率为37.3%,危险比为0.46)。如果供者携带基因型KIR2DS1,那么对与单个HLA-C位点存在错配的那些病人而言,疾病复发率更加显著性地下降(危险比为0.40)。与基因型KIR2DS1存在遗传连锁不平衡的基因型KIR3DS1与更加低的死亡率相关联(危险比为0.83)。Venstrom和同事们作出结论,“激活供者KIR基因与异体造血干细胞移植治疗AML的不同治疗结果相关联。”

HLA-C–Dependent Prevention of Leukemia Relapse by Donor Activating KIR2DS1

BACKGROUND
Of the cancers treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is most sensitive to natural killer (NK)–cell reactivity. The activating killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) 2DS1 has ligand specificity for HLA-C2 antigens and activates NK cells in an HLA-dependent manner. Donor-derived NK reactivity controlled by KIR2DS1 and HLA could have beneficial effects in patients with AML who undergo allogeneic HSCT.
METHODS
We assessed clinical data, HLA genotyping results, and donor cell lines or genomic DNA for 1277 patients with AML who had received hematopoietic stem-cell transplants from unrelated donors matched for HLA-A, B, C, DR, and DQ or with a single mismatch. We performed donor KIR genotyping and evaluated the clinical effect of donor KIR genotype and donor and recipient HLA genotypes.
RESULTS
Patients with AML who received allografts from donors who were positive for KIR2DS1 had a lower rate of relapse than those with allografts from donors who were negative for KIR2DS1 (26.5% vs. 32.5%; hazard ratio, 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61 to 0.96; P=0.02). Of allografts from donors with KIR2DS1, those from donors who were homozygous or heterozygous for HLA-C1 antigens could mediate this antileukemic effect, whereas those from donors who were homozygous for HLA-C2 did not provide any advantage (24.9% with homozygosity or heterozygosity for HLA-C1 vs. 37.3% with homozygosity for HLA-C2; hazard ratio, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.28 to 0.75; P=0.002). Recipients of KIR2DS1-positive allografts mismatched for a single HLA-C locus had a lower relapse rate than recipients of KIR2DS1-negative allografts with a mismatch at the same locus (17.1% vs. 35.6%; hazard ratio, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.20 to 0.78; P=0.007). KIR3DS1, in positive genetic linkage disequilibrium with KIR2DS1, had no effect on leukemia relapse but was associated with decreased mortality (60.1%, vs. 66.9% without KIR3DS1; hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.71 to 0.96; P=0.01).
CONCLUSIONS Activating KIR genes from donors were associated with distinct outcomes of allogeneic HSCT for AML. Donor KIR2DS1 appeared to provide protection against relapse in an HLA-C–dependent manner, and donor KIR3DS1 was associated with reduced mortality.
