Kir Gene

Abstract Killer immunoglobulin–like receptors (KIRs) regulate cell activity of natural killer (NK) cells and some T cells. The predominant ligand for inhibitory KIRs is HLA-C, which subdivides into 2 groups based on the specificity of inhibitory KIRs. The ligands for activatory KIRs are unknown. Following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), recipient tissues may not express a ligand for KIRs present within the graft, and the combination of donor KIR and recipient HLA-C types could influence outcome. HLA and KIR genotypes were determined in 220 donor-recipient pairs from HLA-matched sibling HSCTs performed for myeloid (n = 112) and lymphoid (n = 108) diseases. In HSCTs performed for myeloid disease, overall survival was worse in patients homozygous for group 2 HLA-C (C2) than in patients who carried a group 1 HLA-C (C1) allele (P < .005). Moreover, this effect is seen only when the donor additionally carries the activating KIR gene KIR2DS2 (P = .045). No effect was seen in patients with lymphoid disease. Thus, in HLA-matched sibling HSCT for myeloid leukemia, patients homozygous for C2 alleles receiving a graft from a donor carrying the KIR gene KIR2DS2 have a significantly reduced chance of survival.

AbstractLow intake of magnesium has been associated with the occurrence of lymphomas and decreased magnesium levels suppress the cytotoxic function of T cells and natural killer cells in patients with “X-linked immunodeficiency with magnesium defect, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and neoplasia” (XMEN) syndrome. These cell types are also important mediators of immune-mediated effects after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Here, we show that high posttransplant magnesium levels independently associate with a lower incidence of relapse, a higher risk of acute graft-versus-host disease, and a higher non-relapse mortality in 368 patients with acute myeloid leukemia from our center. Magnesium serum levels might impact on donor-cell-mediated immune responses in acute myeloid leukemia.
