PMID- 17317585 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20070614 LR - 20071115 IS - 1083-8791 (Print) IS - 1083-8791 (Linking) VI - 13 IP - 3 DP - 2007 Mar TI - Effects of HLA allele and killer immunoglobulin-like receptor ligand matching on clinical outcome in leukemia patients undergoing transplantation with T-cell-replete marrow from an unrelated donor. PG - 315-28 AB - The responsible human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus and the role of killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligand matching on transplantation outcome were simultaneously identified by multivariate analysis in 1790 patients with leukemia who underwent transplantation with T-cell-replete marrow from an unrelated donor (UR-BMT) through the Japan Marrow Donor Program. The graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect depended on leukemia cell type. HLA-C mismatch reduced the relapse rate in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.47; P = .003), and HLA-DPB1 mismatch reduced it in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) (HR = 0.35; P < .001). In contrast, KIR2DL ligand mismatch in the graft-versus-host (GVH) direction (KIR-L-MM-G) increased in ALL (HR = 2.55; P = .017). An increased rejection rate was observed in KIR2DL ligand mismatch in the host-versus-graft direction (HR = 4.39; P = .012). Acute GVH disease (GVHD) was increased not only in the mismatch of HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DPB1, but also in KIR-L-MM-G. As a whole, the mismatch of HLA-A, -B, and -DQB1 locus and KIR-L-MM-G resulted in increased mortality. In conclusion, not only the mismatch of HLA-C and -DPB1, but also KIR-L-MM-G affected leukemia relapse, which should be considered based on leukemia cell type. Furthermore, KIR-L-MM induced adverse effects on acute GVHD (aGVHD) and rejection, and brought no survival benefits to patients with T-cell-replete UR-BMT.
