We retrospectively analyzed the impact of HLA-DPB1 mismatches in a large cohort of 1342 French patients who underwent 10/10 HLA-matched unrelated HSCT. A significant impact of HLA-DPB1 allelic mismatches (2 vs 0) was observed in severe acute GVHD (aGVHDIII-IV) (risk ratio (RR)=1.73, confidence interval (CI) 95% 1.09-2.73, P=0.019) without impact on OS, TRM, relapse and chronic GVHD (cGVHD). According to the T-cell epitope 3 (TCE3)/TCE4 HLA-DPB1 disparity algorithm, 37.6% and 58.4% pairs had nonpermissive HLA-DPB1, respectively. TCE3 and TCE4 disparities had no statistical impact on OS, TRM, relapse, aGVHD and cGVHD. When TCE3/TCE4 disparities were analyzed in the graft-vs-host or host-vs-graft (HVG) direction, only a significant impact of TCE4 nonpermissive disparities in the HVG direction was observed on relapse (RR=1.34, CI 95% 1.00-1.80, P=0.048). In conclusion, this French retrospective study shows an adverse prognosis of HLA-DPB1 mismatches (2 vs 0) on severe aGVHD and of nonpermissive TCE4 HVG disparities on relapse after HLA-matched 10/10 unrelated HSCT.

The impact of patient/donor matching for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 genes in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is well-recognized, but typing for additional genes, such as HLA-DPB1, is still controversial. Based on defined T-cell epitope (TCE) groups, all HLA-DPB1 mismatches can be classified as permissive or non-permissive. In this retrospective study we analysed 82 patient-matched unrelated donor (MUD) pairs who underwent HSCT, and explored the impact of HLA-DPB1 matches, permissive and non-permissive mismatches on transplantation outcomes. Patient-MUD pairs matched for HLA-DPB1 alleles in univariate analysis were associated with a significantly higher incidence of disease relapse compared to pairs who were permissive/non-permissive HLA-DPB1 mismatched according to the TCE3 and TCE4 algorithms (P=0.025 and P=0.026, respectively), although the significance was lost in multivariate analysis. The analysis did not reveal any significant influence of HLA-DPB1 alleles on overall survival (OS), non-relapse mortality (NRM) or graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) incidence. In conclusion, our study presents evidence that HLA-DPB1 matching influenced the relapse rate in patients after HSCT so the HLA-DPB1 alleles should be implemented in the MUD search algorithm as a transplantation determinant.
