In patients with immune-mediated acquired aplastic anemia (AA), HLA class I alleles often disappear from the surface of hematopoietic progenitor cells, potentially enabling evasion from cytotoxic T lymphocyte-mediated pathogenesis. Although HLA class I allele loss has been studied in AA patients treated with immunosuppressive therapy (IST), its impact on allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has not been thoroughly investigated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical implications of HLA class I allele loss in patients with acquired AA undergoing allogeneic BMT. The study enrolled acquired AA patients who underwent initial BMT from unrelated donors through the Japan Marrow Donor Program between 1993 and 2011. The presence of HLA class I allele loss due to loss of heterozygosity (HLA-LOH) was assessed using pretransplantation blood DNA and correlated with clinical data obtained from the Japanese Transplant Registry Unified Management Program. A total of 432 patients with acquired AA were included in the study, and HLA-LOH was detected in 20 of the 178 patients (11%) available for analysis. Patients with HLA-LOH typically presented with more severe AA at diagnosis (P = .017) and underwent BMT earlier (P < .0001) compared to those without HLA-LOH. They also showed a slight but significant recovery in platelet count from the time of diagnosis to BMT (P = .00085). However, HLA-LOH status had no significant effect on survival, engraftment, graft failure, chimerism status, graft-versus-host disease, or other complications following BMT, even when the 20 HLA-LOH+ patients were compared with the 40 propensity score-matched HLA-LOH- patients. Nevertheless, patients lacking HLA-A*02:06 or HLA-B*40:02, the alleles most frequently lost and associated with a better IST response, showed higher survival rates compared to those lacking other alleles, with estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of 100% and 44%, respectively (P = .0042). In addition, in a specific subset of HLA-LOH- patients showing clinical features similar to HLA-LOH+ patients, the HLA-A*02:06 and HLA-B*40:02 allele genotypes correlated with better survival rates compared with other allele genotypes, with estimated 5-year OS rates of 100% and 43%, respectively (P = .0096). However, this genotype correlation did not extend to all patients, suggesting that immunopathogenic mechanisms linked to the loss of certain HLA alleles, rather than the HLA genotypes themselves, influence survival outcomes. The survival benefit associated with the loss of these two alleles was confirmed in a multivariable Cox regression model. The observed correlations between HLA loss and the pretransplantation clinical manifestations and between loss of specific HLA class I alleles and survival outcomes in AA patients may improve patient selection for unrelated BMT and facilitate further investigations into the immune pathophysiology of the disease.
