RESUMEN
Összefoglaló. Az autoimmun lymphoproliferativ szindróma egy ritka, immundeficientiával járó genetikai betegség. Hátterében az extrinszik apoptotikus útvonal génjeinek örökletes vagy szerzett mutációi és a következményesen kialakuló, aktivált lymphocyták negatív szelekciójának a defektusa áll. Az autoimmun lymphoproliferativ szindróma klinikai megjelenésére jellemzo a jóindulatú lymphocytaburjánzás következtében kialakuló lymphadenopathia és lépmegnagyobbodás. Gyakran társul olyan autoimmun kórképekkel, mint az autoimmun haemolyticus anaemia vagy az autoimmun thrombocytopenia. A betegségben jellemzo laboratóriumi eltérések a következok: az αß+ CD4-/CD8- kettos negatív T-sejtek szaporulata, a szolúbilis Fas-ligand, az interleukin-10 és interleukin-18, valamint a B12-vitamin szérumszintjének emelkedése. A kórkép diagnózisához hozzátartozik az in vitro Fas-mediált apoptózis funkciójának vizsgálata, valamint a genetikai vizsgálat. Differenciáldiagnosztikai szempontból fontos elkülöníteni a lymphomáktól, valamint az autoimmun lymphoproliferativ szindrómaszeru betegségektol. A kezelés alapja a társuló autoimmun kórképek tüneteinek csökkentése immunszuppresszív terápiával. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(4): 123-131. Summary. The autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome is a rare genetic disorder causing immunodeficiency. In the background of the disease, germline or somatic mutations of genes participating in the extrinsic apoptotic pathway and the consequential defect in the negative selection of activated lymphocytes were discovered. The clinical appearance of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome consists of non-malignant lymphoproliferation, lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly, it is frequently accompanied by autoimmune disorders such as autoimmune haemolytic anaemia or autoimmune thrombocytopenia. The main diagnostic laboratory findings of this disease are the following: an elevation in αß+, CD4-/CD8- double-negative T cell count, elevated serum levels of soluble Fas-ligand, interleukin-10, interleukin-18 and vitamin B12. Other useful laboratory tests are the in vitro Fas-mediated apoptotic functional assay and the genetic screening for gene mutations. Differential diagnosis should exclude malignant lymphoproliferation in lymphomas and non-malignant autoimmune lymphoprolipherative syndrome-like diseases. The main aim of the treatment is the amelioration of the accompanying autoimmune disease with immunosuppressive therapy. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(4): 123-131.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a potentially curative therapeutic option for malignant hematopoietic diseases. Cytokines including transforming growth factor ß1 (TGFß1) play a pivotal role in immune reconstruction, and the development of graft versus host disease (GvHD) or infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of TGFB1 gene -1347C>T variant in the outcome of HSCT in a cohort of 409 adult recipient-donor pairs. TGFB1 variant was analysed from genomic DNA with LightCycler hybridisation probe method. In case of myeloablative conditioning, donor TGFB1 genotype correlated with overall survival (60-month OS for CC: 62.1 ± 4.8%; CT: 46.8 ± 4.8%; TT: 35.6 ± 9.3%; p = 0.032), which was independent of age, donor type and GvHD prophylaxis in multivariate analysis (HR:2.35, 95%CI:1.35-4.10, p = 0.003). The cumulative incidence of acute GvHD grade III-IV [CC:10%; CT:17%; TT:24%], and non-relapse mortality was higher in TT-carriers (24-month NRM: CC:24%; CT:26%; TT:46%, p = 0.035). We did not find any association between recipient TGFB1 -1347C>T polymorphism and HSCT outcome. Our results suggest that donor TGFB1 -1347C>T may exert an adverse influence on the outcome of myeloablative conditioning transplantation.

Primarily due to recent advances of detection techniques, microchimerism (the proportion of minor variant population is below 1%) has recently gained increasing attention in the field of transplantation. Availability of polymorphic markers, such as deletion insertion or single nucleotide polymorphisms along with a vast array of high sensitivity detection techniques, allow the accurate detection of small quantities of donor- or recipient-related materials. This diagnostic information can improve monitoring of allograft injuries in solid organ transplantations (SOT) as well as facilitate early detection of relapse in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). In the present review, genetic marker and detection platform options applicable for microchimerism detection are discussed. Furthermore, current results of relevant clinical studies in the context of microchimerism and SOT or allo-HSCT respectively are also summarized.
