- W4226344311 abstract "Purpose The role of non-HLA antibodies, such as MICA and AT1R, in pediatric heart transplant (HTx) is not well delineated. While both may contribute to worse outcomes after HTx, regular surveillance monitoring and B-cell treatment is generally reserved for recipients with HLA-DSA. Methods Case report describing the development of non-HLA DSA in a patient who is s/p second HTx with concern for CAV in both allografts. Results We introduce a 16-yo male who received a HTx for familial DCM in 2007, at age 2yo. Prior to HTx he was mechanically supported with ECMO (10 dys) and a Berlin Heart (6 wks). PRA were negative and his retrospective cross match (XM) was invalid due to auto-reactivity. Immunosuppression (ISX) was maintained with tacrolimus and sirolimus. Three years (2010) after HTx de novo HLA-DSA (DQ8, DR53) were detected following a period of medical non-compliance; HLA-DSA gradually increased in strength to 20,000 MFI. While all surveillance biopsies since transplant remained without evidence of ACR or AMR, he required treatment for clinical rejection in 2011 (pulse steroids, IVIG) and 2015 (pulse steroids, ATG) and MMF was added to his ISX. He eventually developed micro-vascular CAV, presenting as heart block and diastolic dysfunction, and received a second HTx in 2016. His retrospective XM again showed autoreactivity; he had a negative virtual XM and never developed new HLA-DSA. A recent biopsy, prompted by mild diastolic dysfunction, revealed new endothelial swelling (ACR 1R, AMR 1H, C4D neg). Additional analysis showed high levels of donor-specific MICA, and AT1R antibodies; both remained high despite initiation of B-cell therapy (rituximab, bortezomib, IVIG). Further retrospective analysis revealed that the MICA antibodies were developed de novo against his first heart (targeting a common epitope present on both donors’ MICA) alongside the HLA-DSA, while AT1R antibodies were already present before his first HTx. Thus, MICA-DSA may have contributed to accelerated CAV in his first allograft, and cause endothelial swelling and AMR in his second allograft. This may have been further exacerbated by the ongoing presence of AT1R, though their role in our patient's clinical course remains less clear. Conclusion Non-HLA DSA can be injurious to cardiac allografts, and the presence of AMR or CAV without HLA-DSA warrants further evaluation for MICA-DSA and AT1R antibodies.
