Abstrakt: Background: Survival after lung transplantation (LTx) still remains limited by chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), thought to represent a form of chronic rejection. We investigated whether the immune checkpoint HLA-G/ILT2 expressed by peripheral T-cell subpopulations could predict CLAD.
Methods: We used data for 150 LTx recipients from COLT (Cohort-For-Lung-Transplantation) cohort with ≥1 available blood sample at 1-, 6-, or 12-months post-Tx. Analysis of T cells by flow cytometry focused on the ILT2 receptor of HLA-G and other markers (CD57, CD25, CD127). T-cell subset analyses compared stable patients and those with CLAD at 3 years post-LTx.
Results: With data for 78 stable and 72 CLAD patients, among 21 T-cell subsets expressing ILT2, only CD4+CD57+ILT2+ T cells were associated with outcome. At 1-month post-Tx, low proportion of CD4+CD57+ILT2+ T cells was associated with reduced 3-year incidence of CLAD (CD4+CD57+ILT2+ T cells ≤ first IQR [25%] vs > first IQR, log-rank test, p = 0.028). Furthermore, the incidence of CLAD was higher with >2.6- vs ≤2.6-fold increased proportion of CD4+CD57+ILT2+ T cells over the first year post-LTx (3-year freedom frequencies: 27% [95%CI: 8-50] vs 64% [95%CI: 48-77] (log-rank test, p = 0.014). On multivariable analysis, increased proportion of CD4+CD57+ILT2+ T cells over the first year predicted CLAD (hazard ratio 1.25; 95%CI: 1.09-1.44; p = 0.001). Focusing on CD4+CD57+ILT2+ T cells, we demonstrated ex vivo that they are cytotoxic CD4+ T cells, selectively inhibited by HLA-G.
Conclusions: Our data suggest that an early increase of CD4+CD57+ILT2+ T cells after LTx may be associated with CLAD onset.
