Association of CTLA4 Gene Polymorphism with Transfusion Reaction after Infusion of Leukoreduced Blood Component.

ABSTRACT: Leukocytes and cytokines in blood units have been known to be involved in febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR), and these adverse reactions still occur while using pre-storage leukoreduced blood products. Blood transfusion is similar to transplantation because both implant allogeneic cells or organs into the recipient. CTLA4 gene polymorphism was found to be associated with graft-versus-host disease in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We performed a prospective cohort study at a major tertiary care center to investigate the correlation of CTLA4 gene polymorphism and transfusion reactions. Selected CTLA4 gene SNPs were genotyped and compared between patients with transfusion-associated adverse reactions (TAARs) and healthy controls. Nineteen patients and 20 healthy subjects were enrolled. There were 4 SNPs showing differences in allele frequency between patients and controls, and the frequency of "A" allele of rs4553808, "G" allele of rs62182595, "G" allele of rs16840252, and "C" allele of rs5742909 were significantly higher in patients than in controls. Moreover, these alleles also showed significantly higher risk of TAARs (OR = 2.357, 95%CI: 1.584-3.508, p = 0.02; OR = 2.357, 95%CI: 1.584-3.508, p = 0.02; OR = 2.462, 95%CI: 1.619-3.742, p = 0.008; OR = 2.357, 95%CI: 1.584-3.508, p = 0.02; OR = 2.357, 95%CI: 1.584-3.508, p = 0.02, respectively). The present study demonstrated the correlation of CTLA4 gene polymorphism and transfusion reaction, and alleles of 4 CTLA4 SNPs with an increased risk of TAARs were found. It is important to explore the potential immune regulatory mechanism affected by SNPs of costimulatory molecules, and it could predict transfusion reaction occurrence and guide preventive actions.

Project description:BackgroundCytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein-4 (CTLA-4) or CD152 is an inhibitory receptor expressed constitutively on CD4+CD25+ T regulatory lymphocytes (Treg) and transiently on activated CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. Association of CTLA4 gene polymorphisms with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) has been reported in south Indians, but not in north Indians. This study aims to investigate CTLA4 gene polymorphism and its association with the occurrence of SLE, its clinical manifestation and serological markers in north Indians.MethodsThis cross sectional study was done in a tertiary health care centre in north India. Patients reporting to the hospital and diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus were included in study. +49 A/G (snp- rs231775) CTLA4 gene polymorphism was analysed in 41 SLE patients and 21 matched healthy controls by real time PCR method. ANA (Antinuclear Antibody), anti dsDNA, Interferon-γ (IFN- γ), TGF-β, IL-10 were measured by ELISA kits. Complement (C3 and C4) and immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM) estimation were done with the turbidometry method. Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups and odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated to estimate the associated risk.ResultsA/A genotype was most common (51.2%) followed by the A/G genotype (46.3%) and G/G genotype (2.4%, detected in only 1 patient). The frequency of A allele was 74.4%, while of G allele was only 25.6%. A/G genotype SLE patients showed a higher risk (odds ratio 37.5, 95% CI- 6.048-232.51) of developing edema compared to A/A genotype patients. There was no statistically significant association of various CTLA4 genotypes with the occurrence of SLE and serum markers.ConclusionsA/A was the most common CTLA4 genotype in both SLE patients and healthy controls of north India. Contrary to the previous report in south Indians, there was no statistically significant association between CTLA4 genotype and occurrence of SLE in north Indians. Only the presence of generalised edema was found significantly associated with the A/G genotype.
