Although mutant-specific T cells are elicited in some individuals infected with HIV-1 mutant viruses, the detailed characteristics of these T cells remain unknown. A recent study showed that the accumulation of strains expressing Nef135F, which were selected by HLA-A*24:02-restricted T cells, was associated with poor outcomes in individuals with the detrimental HLA-B*35:01 allele and that HLA-B*35:01-restricted NefYF9 (Nef135-143)-specific T cells failed to recognize target cells infected with Nef135F mutant viruses. Here, we investigated HLA-B*35:01-restricted T cells specific for the NefFF9 epitope incorporating the Nef135F mutation. Longitudinal T-cell receptor (TCR) clonotype analysis demonstrated that 3 types of HLA-B*35:01-restricted T cells (wild-type [WT] specific, mutant specific, and cross-reactive) with different T cell repertoires were elicited during the clinical course. HLA-B*35:01+ individuals possessing wild-type-specific T cells had a significantly lower plasma viral load (pVL) than those with mutant-specific and/or cross-reactive T cells, even though the latter T cells effectively recognized the mutant virus-infected cells. These results suggest that mutant-specific and cross-reactive T cells could only partially suppress HIV-1 replication in vivo. An ex vivo analysis of the T cells showed higher expression of PD-1 on cross-reactive T cells and lower expression of CD160/2B4 on the mutant-specific T cells than other T cells, implying that these inhibitory and stimulatory molecules are key to the reduced function of these T cells. In the present study, we demonstrate that mutant-specific and cross-reactive T cells do not contribute to the suppression of HIV-1 replication in HIV-1-infected individuals, even though they have the capacity to recognize mutant virus-infected cells. Thus, the collaboration of HLA-A*24:02 with the detrimental allele HLA-B*35:01 resulted in the coevolution of HIV-1 alongside virus-specific T cells, leading to poorer clinical outcomes. IMPORTANCE HIV-1 escape mutations are selected under pressure from HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells. Accumulation of these mutations in circulating viruses impairs the control of HIV-1 by HIV-1-specific T cells. Although it is known that HIV-1-specific T cells recognizing mutant virus were elicited in some individuals infected with a mutant virus, the role of these T cells remains unclear. Accumulation of phenylalanine at HIV-1 Nef135 (Nef135F), which is selected by HLA-A*24:02-restricted T cells, led to poor clinical outcome in individuals carrying the detrimental HLA-B*35:01 allele. In the present study, we found that HLA-B*35:01-restricted mutant-specific and cross-reactive T cells were elicited in HLA-B*35:01+ individuals infected with the Nef135F mutant virus. These T cells could not effectively suppress HIV-1 replication in vivo even though they could recognize mutant virus-infected cells in vitro. Mutant-specific and cross-reactive T cells expressed lower levels of stimulatory molecules and higher levels of inhibitory molecules, respectively, suggesting a potential mechanism whereby these T cells fail to suppress HIV-1 replication in HIV-1-infected individuals.

Herbal and dietary supplements (HDS)-induced liver injury has been a great concern all over the world. Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., a well-known Chinese herbal medicine, is recently drawn increasing attention because of its hepatotoxicity. According to the clinical and experimental studies, P. multiflorum-induced liver injury (PM-DILI) is considered to be immune-mediated idiosyncratic liver injury, but the role of immune response and the underlying mechanisms are not completely elucidated. Previous studies focused on the direct toxicity of PM-DILI by using animal models with intrinsic drug-induced liver injury (DILI). However, most epidemiological and clinical evidence demonstrate that PM-DILI is immune-mediated idiosyncratic liver injury. The aim of this review is to assess current epidemiological, clinical and experimental evidence about the possible role of innate and adaptive immunity in the idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity of P. multiflorum. The potential effects of factors associated with immune tolerance, including immune checkpoint molecules and regulatory immune cells on the individual's susceptibility to PM-DILI are also discussed. We conclude by giving our hypothesis of possible immune mechanisms of PM-DILI and providing suggestions for future studies on valuable biomarkers identification and proper immune models establishment.

BACKGROUND: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the etiological agent of HTLV associated myelopathy/ Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and Adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), in around 2-5% of the infected individuals. Host genetic background might play a role in disease progression. Several previous studies across many countries report HLA haplotype to be one such factor. Here, we sequenced HLA-A, -B and -C of 66 individuals by Sequence-Based Typing (SBT), and compared the frequency of different alleles among ATLL patients, HAM/TSP patients, asymptomatic carriers and non-infected individuals living in Argentina. RESULTS: The frequency of HLA-A, -B and -C alleles largely matched that of the general population in Argentina. We identified HLA-A*02, HLA-B*35 and HLA-C*07 as associated to protection from ATLL (p = 0.031), susceptibility to HAM/TSP (p < 0.001) and susceptibility to ATLL (p = 0.017), respectively. We also found a strong correlation between high proviral load (PVL) and disease (p = 0.008), but were unable to identify any particular allele associated with high or low PVL. CONCLUSIONS: We have found HLA-A*02, HLA-B*35 and HLA-C*07 to be associated to protection from ATLL (HLA-A*02) and susceptibility to HAM/TSP (HLA-B*35) or to ATLL (HLA-C*07), respectively. Whereas HLA-A*02 protection from ATLL has already been extensively described in other regions of the world, this is the first report that links HLA-B*35 and an increased susceptibility to HAM/TSP. As for HLA-C*07 it has previously been associated to susceptibility to HAM/TSP in other countries but in our population it has been linked to ATLL.

BACKGROUND: Polygonum multiflorum is one of the leading causes of herb-induced liver injury in China. HLA-B*35:01 is reported to be a potential biomarker of Polygonum multiflorum-induced liver injury (PM-DILI). However, little is known about the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and PM-DILI. AIM: To identify SNPs that indicate susceptibility to PM-DILI. METHODS: We conducted a systematic study enrolling 382 participants from four independent hospitals, including 73 PM-DILI patients, 118 patients with other drug-induced liver injury (other-DILI) and 191 healthy controls. Whole-exome sequencing was performed for 8 PM-DILI patients and 8 healthy controls who were randomly selected from the above subjects. Nineteen SNPs that showed high frequencies in the 8 PM-DILI patients were selected as candidate SNPs and then screened in 65 PM-DILI patients, 118 other-DILI patients and 183 healthy controls using the MassARRAY system. HLA-B high-resolution genotyping was performed for the 73 PM-DILI and 118 other-DILI patients. The Han-MHC database was selected as a population control for HLA-B analysis. P < 6.25 × 10-3 after Bonferroni correction was considered significant. RESULTS: The frequencies of rs111686806 in the HLA-A gene, rs1055348 in the HLA-B gene, and rs202047044 in the HLA-DRB1 gene were significantly higher in the PM-DILI group than in the control group [27.2% vs 11.6%, P = 1.72 × 10-5, odds ratio (OR) = 3.96, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.21-7.14; 42.5% vs 8.6%, P = 1.72 × 10-19, OR = 13.62, 95%CI: 7.16-25.9; 22.9% vs 8.1%, P = 4.64 × 10-6, OR = 4.1, 95%CI: 2.25-7.47]. Only rs1055348 showed a significantly higher frequency in the PM-DILI group than in the other-DILI group (42.5% vs 13.6%, P = 1.84 × 10-10, OR = 10.06, 95%CI: 5.06-20.0), which suggested that it is a specific risk factor for PM-DILI. rs1055348 may become a tag for HLA-B*35:01 with 100% sensitivity and 97.7% specificity in the PM-DILI group and 100% sensitivity and 98.1% specificity in the other-DILI group. Furthermore, HLA-B*35:01 was confirmed to be associated with PM-DILI with a frequency of 41.1% in the PM-DILI group compared with 11.9% (P = 4.30 × 10-11, OR = 11.11, 95%CI: 5.57-22.19) in the other-DILI group and 2.7% (P = 6.22 × 10-166, OR = 62.62, 95%CI: 35.91-109.20) in the Han-MHC database. CONCLUSION: rs111686806, rs1055348, and rs202047044 are associated with PM-DILI, of which, rs1055348 is specific to PM-DILI. As a tag for HLA-B*35:01, rs1055348 may become an alternative predictive biomarker of PM-DILI.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate possible association between sacroiliitis and HLA-B*35 positivity. METHOD: After excluding patients with axial spondyloarthritis and HLA-B*27 positivity, psoriasis inflammatory bowel disease, preceding infections, or juvenile type of spondyloarthritis, 110 patients were recruited with a diagnosis of undifferentiated axial spondyloarthritis. All of them had inflammatory back pain of short duration (3 months to 2 years) and 72 were HLA-B*35 positive. In order to determine if there is a possible association of sacroiliitis and HLA-B*35 positivity, all patients underwent MRI of sacroiliac joints. RESULTS: A statistically significant association between the detection of bone marrow edema at sacroiliac joints on MRI and HLA-B*35 positivity (χ2 = 6.25; p = 0.022) was found. A logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of HLA-B*35 allele was associated with a 6 times greater chance of identifying bone marrow edema at sacroiliac joints on MRI (OR 6, 95% CI 1.3-27, p = 0.021). HLA-B*35 positivity was also associated with a 4.7 times greater chance of finding elevated CRP (OR 4.7, 95% CI 1-11.9, p = 0.047) and a 5 times greater chance of finding peripheral joint synovitis (OR 5, 95% CI 1.75-14.3, p = 0.003). HLA-B*35-positive patients had high disease activity (mean ± SD of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index 6.1 ± 1.72 and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score C-reactive protein Index 3 ± 0.64) with a high degree of functional limitations (mean ± SD of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index 5.3 ± 2.16). CONCLUSION: The data clearly show the association between bone marrow edema on MRI at sacroiliac joints and HLA-B*35 allele in patients with undifferentiated spondyloarthritis. Further work is needed to understand how much this result may influence follow-up of these patients. Key Points ⢠HLA-B*35 allele was associated with a 6 times greater chance of identifying bone marrow edema at sacroiliac joints on MRI in un-axSpa patients. ⢠HLA-B*35 allele was also associated with a 4.7 times greater chance of finding elevated CRP and a 5 times greater chance of finding peripheral joint synovitis in un-axSpa patients. ⢠HLA-B*35 allele could be a potential risk factor for developing sacroiliitis and axSpA.

Polygonum multiflorum (PM) is a well-known Chinese herbal medicine that has been reported to induce inflammation-associated idiosyncratic liver injury. This study aimed to identify the genetic basis of susceptibility to PM-drug-induced liver injury (PM-DILI) and to develop biological markers for predicting the risk of PM-DILI in humans. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) regions of 11 patients with PM-DILI were sequenced, and all human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-type frequencies were compared to the Han-MHC database. An independent replication study that included 15 patients with PM-DILI, 33 patients with other DILI, and 99 population controls was performed to validate the candidate allele by HLA-B PCR sequence-based typing. A prospective cohort study that included 72 outpatients receiving PM for 4 weeks was designed to determine the influence of the risk allele on PM-DILI. In the pilot study, the frequency of HLA-B*35:01 was 45.4% in PM-DILI patients compared with 2.7% in the Han Chinese population (odds ratio [OR], 30.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 11.7-77.8; P = 1.9 × 10-10 ). In the independent replication study and combined analyses, a logistic regression model confirmed that HLA-B*35:01 is a high-risk allele of PM-DILI (PM-DILI versus other DILI, OR, 86.5; 95% CI, 14.2-527.8, P = 1.0 × 10-6 ; and PM-DILI versus population controls, OR, 143.9; 95% CI, 30.1-687.5, P = 4.8 × 10-10 ). In the prospective cohort study, an asymptomatic increase in transaminase levels was diagnosed in 6 patients, representing a significantly higher incidence (relative risk, 8.0; 95% CI, 1.9-33.2; P < 0.02) in the HLA-B*35:01 carriers (37.5%) than in the noncarriers (4.7%). Conclusion: The HLA-B*35:01 allele is a genetic risk factor for PM-DILI and a potential biomarker for predicting PM-DILI in humans.

Genetic investigations on ancient human remains affected by rheumatological pathologies are a research field of particular interest for identifying the pathogenesis of diseases, especially those having an autoimmune background such as spondyloarthopaties (SpA). Reliable studies concerning this topic require collaboration between multiple disciplines, usually starting from paleopathologic observations up to molecular genetic screening. Here, we focused our investigation in a medieval necropolis in the Basque Country (13th-15th century, Nâ¯=â¯163), which presents a high frequency of joint pathologies through two approaches: on the one hand, the analysis of joint manifestations for the differential diagnosis of the SpA and, on the other hand, the determination of the alleles of the HLA-B gene. The morphological analysis allowed determining that 30% of the individuals had rheumatic bone manifestations, with SpA being the most frequent (45%). The genetic analysis of individuals with and without pathologies, based on the study of the HLA-B gene, allowed finding 17 alleles for this gene, with HLA-B40, HLA-B27 and HLA-B35 being the most frequent. Although these alleles have been traditionally described as genetic markers associated to the development of SpA, in this study they were also found in individuals with other rheumatic diseases (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) and even in individuals without pathologies. These data confirm the complexity of the relationship of the HLA-B gene variants with SpA, since it is not possible to establish a diagnosis of SpA with these variants alone. However, we suggest that allele HLA-B40, in combination with some specific rheumatic bone manifestations, facilitates the diagnosis of SpA.

OBJECTIVE: Control HIV replication requires continuous combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) as discontinuation of cART results in a rapid viral rebound. However, a few individuals exist who took cART for several years and did not show the expected viral rebound after treatment cessation. Most post-treatment controllers (PTCs) are early treated individuals. We report three cases who started cART during chronic infection. DESIGN: Patients were treated and monitored according to Italian guidelines. For the description of cases, the percentage of CD8CD38HLA*DR cells, CD8CD38HLA*DR cells, major histocompatibility complex genotyping, total HIV-DNA and plasma levels of anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs were performed. RESULTS: Patients started therapy during chronic infection. Patient 26636 started her first ARV drug two years after diagnosis and patients 93016 and 50293 started cART with high viral loads and low CD4 cell counts. Time without cART was 13, 11 and 1.5 years, respectively. None presented any of the protective class I HLA alleles and patient 93016 has the HLA-B*35 allele that appears to be enriched in PTCs. Patients 93016 and 50293 had very low levels of CD8CD38HLA*DR cells (<5%) much lower than those of patient 26636 (27%). T-cell-associated HIV-DNA was 3.78, 3.48 and 3.13 log copies/10 CD4, respectively. CONCLUSION: Patients like ours may advance our understanding of the characteristics for which individuals may be more likely to achieve ART-free remissions. Furthermore, our patients are among the few so far described who started cART during chronic infection extending the hope that a functional cure is possible even in this setting.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Minocycline hepatotoxicity can present with prominent autoimmune features in previously healthy individuals. The aim of this study was to identify genetic determinants of minocycline drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in a well-phenotyped cohort of patients. METHODS: Caucasian patients with minocycline DILI underwent genome-wide genotyping and were compared to unexposed population controls. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) binding of minocycline was assessed using AutoDock Vina. RESULTS: Among the 25 cases, 80% were female, median age was 19years and median latency from drug start to DILI onset was 318days. At presentation, 76% had acute hepatocellular liver injury, median ALT 1,077U/L (range: 63 to 2,333), median bilirubin 4.5mg/dl (range: 0.2 to 16.7), and 90% had a +ANA. During follow-up, 50% were treated with corticosteroids and no participants died or required a liver transplant. A significant association was noted between HLA-B∗35:02 and risk for minocycline DILI; a 16% carrier frequency in DILI cases compared to 0.6% in population controls (odds ratio: 29.6, 95% CI: 7.8-89.8, p=2.5×10-8). Verification of HLA-B∗35:02 imputation was confirmed by sequence-based HLA typing. HLA-B∗35:02 carriers had similar presenting features and outcomes compared to non-carriers. In silico modeling studies support the hypothesis that direct binding of minocycline to this novel HLA risk allele might be an important initiating event in minocycline DILI. CONCLUSION: HLA-B∗35:02 is a rare HLA allele that was more frequently identified in the 25 minocycline DILI cases compared to population controls. If confirmed in other cohorts, this HLA allele may prove to be a useful diagnostic marker of minocycline DILI. LAY SUMMARY: Development of liver injury following prolonged use of minocycline for acne is a rare but potentially severe form of drug-induced liver injury. Our study demonstrates that individuals who are HLA-B∗35:02 carriers are at increased risk of developing minocycline related liver injury. These results may help doctors more rapidly and confidently diagnose affected patients and possibly reduce the risk of liver injury in individuals receiving minocycline going forward.
