PG - 727-39 LID - 10.1002/hep.26077 [doi] AB - The role of the adaptive immune system in adverse drug reactions that target the liver has not been defined. For flucloxacillin, a delay in the reaction onset and identification of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*57:01 as a susceptibility factor are indicative of an immune pathogenesis. Thus, we characterize flucloxacillin-responsive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from patients with liver injury and show that naive CD45RA+CD8+ T cells from volunteers expressing HLA-B*57:01 are activated with flucloxacillin when dendritic cells present the drug antigen. T-cell clones expressing CCR4 and CCR9 migrated toward CCL17 and CCL 25, and secreted interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), T helper (Th)2 cytokines, perforin, granzyme B, and FasL following drug stimulation. Flucloxacillin bound covalently to selective lysine residues on albumin in a time-dependent manner and the level of binding correlated directly with the stimulation of clones. Activation of CD8+ clones with flucloxacillin was processing-dependent and restricted by HLA-B*57:01 and the closely related HLA-B*58:01. Clones displayed additional reactivity against beta-lactam antibiotics including oxacillin, cloxacillin, and dicloxacillin, but not abacavir or nitroso sulfamethoxazole. CONCLUSION: This work defines the immune basis for flucloxacillin-induced liver injury and links the genetic association to the iatrogenic disease.
