RESUMO
HLA-B*13:01 allele has been identified as the genetic determinant of dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) among leprosy and non-leprosy patients in several studies. Dapsone hydroxylamine (DDS-NHOH), an active metabolite of dapsone, has been believed to be responsible for DHS. However, studies have not highlighted the importance of other genetic polymorphisms in dapsone-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR). We investigated the association of HLA alleles and cytochrome P450 (CYP) alleles with dapsone-induced SCAR in Thai non-leprosy patients. A prospective cohort study, 16 Thai patients of dapsone-induced SCARs (5 SJS-TEN and 11 DRESS) and 9 Taiwanese patients of dapsone-induced SCARs (2 SJS-TEN and 7 DRESS), 40 dapsone-tolerant controls, and 470 general Thai population were enrolled. HLA class I and II alleles were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligonucleotides (PCR-SSOs). CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 genotypes were determined by the TaqMan real-time PCR assay. We performed computational analyses of dapsone and DDS-NHOH interacting with HLA-B*13:01 and HLA-B*13:02 alleles by the molecular docking approach. Among all the HLA alleles, only HLA-B*13:01 allele was found to be significantly associated with dapsone-induced SCARs (OR = 39.00, 95% CI = 7.67-198.21, p = 5.3447 × 10-7), SJS-TEN (OR = 36.00, 95% CI = 3.19-405.89, p = 2.1657 × 10-3), and DRESS (OR = 40.50, 95% CI = 6.38-257.03, p = 1.0784 × 10-5) as compared to dapsone-tolerant controls. Also, HLA-B*13:01 allele was strongly associated with dapsone-induced SCARs in Asians (OR = 36.00, 95% CI = 8.67-149.52, p = 2.8068 × 10-7) and Taiwanese (OR = 31.50, 95% CI = 4.80-206.56, p = 2.5519 × 10-3). Furthermore, dapsone and DDS-NHOH fit within the extra-deep sub pocket of the antigen-binding site of the HLA-B*13:01 allele and change the antigen-recognition site. However, there was no significant association between genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450 (CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4) and dapsone-induced SCARs (SJS-TEN and DRESS). The results of this study support the specific genotyping of the HLA-B*13:01 allele to avoid dapsone-induced SCARs including SJS-TEN and DRESS before initiating dapsone therapy in the Asian population.

Dapsone-induced hypersensitivity reactions may cause severe cutaneous adverse reactions, such as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). It has been reported that HLA-B*13:01 is strongly associated with dapsone-induced hypersensitivity reactions among leprosy patients. However, the phenotype specificity and detailed immune mechanism of HLA-B*13:01 remain unclear. We investigated the genetic predisposition, HLA-B*13:01 function, and cytotoxic T cells involved in the pathogenesis of dapsone-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions. We enrolled patients from Taiwan and Malaysia with DRESS and maculopapular eruption with chronic inflammatory dermatoses. Our results showed that the HLA-B*13:01 allele was present in 85.7% (6/7) of patients with dapsone DRESS (odds ratio = 49.64, 95% confidence interval = 5.89-418.13; corrected P = 2.92 × 10-4) but in only 10.8% (73/677) of general population control individuals in Taiwan. The level of granulysin, the severe cutaneous adverse reaction-specific cytotoxic protein released from cytotoxic T cells, was increased in both the plasma of DRESS patients (36.14 ± 9.02 ng/ml, P < 0.05) and in vitro lymphocyte activation test (71.4%, 5/7 patients) compared with healthy control individuals. Furthermore, dapsone-specific cytotoxic T cells were significantly activated when co-cultured with HLA-B*13:01-expressing antigen presenting cells in the presence of dapsone (3.9-fold increase, compared with cells with no HLA-B*13:01 expression; P < 0.01). This study indicates that HLA-B*13:01 is strongly associated with dapsone DRESS and describes a functional role for the HLA-restricted immune mechanism induced by dapsone.
