Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Recently published pediatric trial of Rituximab for the treatment of CD20+ acute renal allograft rejection (AR) demonstrated transient depletion of circulating/intragraft B cells (Zarkhin et al., Am J Transplant 2008; 8: 2607). In this study, we have evaluated phenotypic definition of circulating B-cell subsets before and after standard of care and B-cell depletional AR therapies. METHODS:We assessed peripheral B cells by flow cytometry at the time of AR and after AR treatment in 35 pediatric renal transplant recipients: 17 patients with AR who received Rituximab (R-AR; n=11) or steroid pulsing (S-AR; n=6), 18 stable patients with stable graft function with (iSTA; n=10) or without interval infection (hSTA; n=8), and 3 healthy volunteers. RESULTS:Infections increased memory (P=0.02) and CD19+/CD27⁻/IgD⁻ double negative (DN) B cells (P=0.02) and decreased naive B cells (P=0.01) in iSTA group compared to hSTA patients. Decrease in naive/memory B cells ratio at AR was observed compared with hSTA patients (P=0.01). One year after AR treatment, S-AR patients had persistently lower naive/memory B-cell ratio (P=0.01) and higher DN B cells (P=0.0001) than hSTA patients, whereas after R-AR treatment naive/memory B-cell ratio (P=0.6) and DN B cells (P=0.13) recovered to levels of hSTA patients. R-AR patients with sustained AR resolution (n=8) had trend toward better graft survival (P=0.06) and higher naive B cells (P=0.004) than R-AR relapsers (n=3). CONCLUSIONS:Increase in circulating memory B cells was seen in pediatric patients at AR. B cells persist as memory after S-AR treatment, whereas Rituximab resulted in repopulation of mostly naive B cells. The heterogeneity in B-cells reconstitution after rejection therapies deserves further investigation as a possible means to follow the clinical and immunologic outcomes of graft rejection.
