Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I is commonly detected alongside anti-human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a in fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT). Little is known regarding whether the presence of anti-HLA Class I may exert an additive effect on the risk and severity of FNAIT. METHODS AND MATERIALS We reanalyzed samples originally collected as part of a large Norwegian screening study on FNAIT during 1995-2004. This study identified and managed 170 pregnancies where the mother was HPA-1a negative and had detectable anti-HPA-1a during pregnancy. Maternal samples from 166 of these pregnancies were rescreened for anti-HLA Class I, revealing 111 (67%) that were antibody positive. Various regression models were used to assess if and how maternal anti-HLA Class I influenced the neonatal platelet count. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Unadjusted neonatal platelet counts and the frequency of neonatal thrombocytopenia was not significantly affected by the presence of anti-HLA Class I alongside anti-HPA-1a, but results from regression analyses revealed a possible increased risk when the mother was nulliparous. These results warrant further investigation.

Marked thrombocytopenia in a neonate is associated with anti-HPA-5b, anti-HLA-A31, and anti-HLA-B55 antibodies. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2019; 66:e27555. [PMID: 30488611 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.27555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2018] [Revised: 10/03/2018] [Accepted: 10/25/2018] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Maternal antibodies against human platelet antigen (HPA) and/or human leukocyte antigen (HLA) cause fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in 0.09-0.15% of live births. Severe cases account for 5-31% and the frequency of multiple kinds of alloantibodies is 6.9-9% of FNAIT. We present a case of severe FNAIT associated with anti-HPA-5b, anti-HLA-A31, and anti-HLA-B55 antibodies, successfully treated with immunoglobulin and platelet transfusion. The anti-HLA-B55 antibody was detected in the newborn's serum, but disappeared on the 20th day, which was followed by an increase of the platelet count. These findings suggested the potential involvement of an anti-HLA antibody in the pathogenesis of FNAIT.

Antiendothelial αvβ3 Antibodies Are a Major Cause of Intracranial Bleeding in Fetal/Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 2016; 36:1517-24. [PMID: 27283740 DOI: 10.1161/atvbaha.116.307281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 68] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2016] [Accepted: 06/01/2016] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is a severe bleeding disorder, which can result in intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), leading to death or neurological sequelae. In whites, maternal anti-human platelet antigen-1a (HPA-1a) antibodies are responsible for the majority of cases. No predictive factors for ICH are available to guide prophylactic treatment during pregnancy. In this study, we investigated antibodies from mothers with ICH-positive fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and with ICH-negative fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia to identify serological and functional differences between the groups. APPROACH AND RESULTS In an antigen capture assay, we observed a stronger binding of +ICH antibodies to endothelial cell (EC)-derived αvβ3. By absorption experiments, we subsequently identified anti-HPA-1a antibodies of anti-αvβ3 specificity in the +ICH but not in the -ICH cohort. Only the anti-αvβ3 subtype, but not the anti-β3 subtype, induced EC apoptosis of HPA-1a-positive ECs by caspase-3/7 activation, and mediated by reactive oxygen species. In addition, only the anti-αvβ3 subtype, but not the anti-β3 subtype, interfered with EC adhesion to vitronectin and with EC tube formation. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the composition of the anti-HPA-1a antibody subtype(s) of the mother may determine whether ICH occurs. Analysis of anti-HPA-1a antibodies of the anti-αvβ3 subtype in maternal serum has potential in the diagnostic prediction of ICH development and may allow for modification of prophylactic treatment in fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia.
