Popis: Summary The ex vivo production of platelets depleted of human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) could serve as a universal measure to overcome platelet transfusion refractoriness caused by HLA-I incompatibility. Here, we developed human induced pluripotent cell-derived HLA-I-deficient platelets (HLA-KO iPLATs) in a clinically applicable imMKCL system by genetic manipulation and assessed their immunogenic properties including natural killer (NK) cells, which reject HLA-I downregulated cells. HLA-KO iPLATs were deficient for all HLA-I but did not elicit a cytotoxic response by NK cells in vitro and showed circulation equal to wild-type iPLATs upon transfusion in our newly established Hu-NK-MSTRG mice reconstituted with human NK cells. Additionally, HLA-KO iPLATs successfully circulated in an alloimmune platelet transfusion refractoriness model of Hu-NK-MISTRG mice. Mechanistically, the lack of NK cell-activating ligands on platelets may be responsible for evading the NK cell response. This study revealed the unique non-immunogenic property of platelets and provides a proof of concept for the clinical application of HLA-KO iPLATs.
Graphical Abstract
Highlights • Clinically applicable iPSC-derived HLA class I knockout platelets (HLA-KO iPLATs) • HLA-KO iPLATs do not elicit NK cell activation in vitro • HLA-KO iPLATs circulate comparably with wild type in human NK cell-reconstituted mice • HLA-KO iPLATs circulate competently in alloimmune PTR model mice
T cells and antibodies or NK cells reject HLA-I-incompatible or HLA-I-deficient cells, respectively. Sugimoto and colleagues produced HLA-I null platelets from iPSCs in a clinically applicable system and found that platelets can circulate even in human NK cell-reconstituted mice. Potentially, universal HLA-KO platelets could treat patients suffering from platelet transfusion refractoriness caused by HLA-I incompatibility.
