HLA Class II Genes HLA-DRB1, HLA-DPB1, and HLA-DQB1 Are Associated With the Antibody Response to Inactivated Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine.

ABSTRACT: Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes HLA-DRB1, HLA-DPB1, and HLA-DQB1 with the humoral immune response elicited by inactivated Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine (IJEV). Methods: A total of 373 individuals aged 3-12 years in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China, who received two doses of IJEV at 0 and 7 days, were enrolled in the current study. Based on the individuals' specific JE virus (JEV)-neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), they were divided into a seropositive and a seronegative group. HLA-DRB1, HLA-DPB1, and HLA-DQB1 were genotyped using a sequencing-based typing method. Next, the association of the HLA class II genes and their haplotypes with antibody response was evaluated. Results: Based on NAbs, a total of 161 individuals were classified as seropositive and 212 as seronegative. DQB1 * 02:01 was significantly associated with JEV seropositivity (P < 0.001, OR = 0.364, 95% CI: 0.221-0.600), while DQB1 * 02:02 was significantly associated with JEV seronegativity (P = 5.03 × 10-6, OR = 7.341, 95% CI: 2.876-18.736). The haplotypes DRB1 * 07:01-DPB1 * 04:01-DQB1 * 02:01, DRB1 * 15:01-DPB1 * 02:01-DQB1 * 06:02, DRB1 * 07:01-DQB1 * 02:01, and DPB1 * 02:01-DQB1 * 06:02 were very frequent in the seropositive group, while DRB1 * 07:01-DPB1 * 17:01-DQB1 * 02:02, DRB1 * 07:01-DQB1 * 02:02, and DPB1 * 17:01-DQB1 * 02:02 were very frequent in the seronegative group. The presence of DRB1 * 01:01, DRB1 * 04:05, DRB1 * 09:01, DRB1 * 12:02, DRB1 * 13:02, and DRB1 * 14:01 was associated with a higher geometric mean titer (GMT) of NAbs than that of DRB1 * 11:01 at the DRB1 locus (P < 0.05). At the DPB1 locus, the presence of DPB1 * 05:01 was associated with higher GMTs than that of DPB1 * 02:01 and DPB1 * 13:01 (P < 0.05), and the presence of DPB1 * 04:01 and DPB1 * 09:01 was associated with higher GMTs than that of DPB1 * 13:01 (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The present study suggests that HLA class II genes may influence the antibody response to IJEV.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS), a common central nervous system inflammatory disease, has a major heritable component. Susceptibility is associated with the MHC class II region, especially HLA-DRB5*0101-HLA-DRB1*1501-HLA-DQA1*0102-HLA-DQB1*0602 haplotypes(hereafter DR2), which dominate genetic contribution to MS risk. Marked linkage disequilibrium (LD) among these loci makes identification of a specific locus difficult. The once-leading candidate, HLA-DRB1*15, localizes to risk, neutral, and protective haplotypes. HLA-DRB1*15 and HLA-DQB1*0602, nearly always located together on a small ancestral chromosome segment, are strongly MS-associated. One intervening allele on this haplotype, viz. HLA-DQA1*0102, shows no primary MS association. Two Canadian cohorts (n = 830 and n = 438 trios) genotyped for HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles were tested for association using TDT. To evaluate epistasis involving HLA-DRB1*15, transmissions from HLA-DRB1*15-negative parents were stratified by the presence/absence of HLA-DRB1*15 in affected offspring. All 3 alleles contribute to MS susceptibility through novel epistatic interactions. HLA-DQA1*0102 increased disease risk when combined with HLA-DRB1*1501 in trans, thereby unambiguously implicating HLA-DQ in MS susceptibility. Three-locus haplotypes demonstrated that HLA-DRB1*1501 and HLA-DQB1*0602 each influence risk. Transmissions of rare morcellated DR2 haplotypes showed no interaction with HLA-DQA1*0102. Incomplete haplotypes bearing only HLA-DRB1*1501 or HLA-DQB1*0602 did not predispose to MS. Balanced reciprocal transmission distortion can mask epistatic allelic association. These findings implicate epistasis among HLA class II alleles in human immune responses generally, provide partial explanation for intense linkage disequilibrium in the MHC, have relevance to animal models, and demonstrate key roles for DR2-specific interactions in MS susceptibility. MHC disease associations may be more generally haplotypic or diplotypic.
