[PMID: 34329645 DOI: 10.1016/j.imlet.2021.07.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Revised: 07/05/2021] [Accepted: 07/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND HLA-class II proteins hold important roles in key physiological processes. The purpose of this study was to compile all class II alleles reported in human population and investigate patterns in pocket variants and their combinations, focusing on the peptide-binding region (PBR). METHODS For this purpose, all protein sequences of DPA1, DQA1, DPB1, DQB1 and DRB1 were selected and filtered, in order to have full PBR sequences. Proportional representation was used for pocket variants while population data were also used. RESULTS All pocket variants and PBR sequences were retrieved and analyzed based on the preference of amino acids and their properties in all pocket positions. The observed number of pocket variants combinations was much lower than the possible inferred, suggesting that PBR formation is under strict funneling. Also, although class II proteins are very polymorphic, in the majority of the reported alleles in all populations, a significantly less polymorphic pocket core was found. CONCLUSIONS Pocket variability of five HLA class II proteins was studied revealing favorable properties of each protein. The actual PBR sequences of HLA class II proteins appear to be governed by restrictions that lead to the establishment of only a fraction of the possible combinations and the polymorphism recorded is the result of intense funneling based on function.

Abstract
In Japanese, Koreans and Caucasians, narcolepsy/hypocretin deficiency is tightly associated with the DRB1*15:01-DQA1*01:02-DQB1*06:02 haplotype. Studies in African-Americans suggest a primary effect of DQB1*06:02, but this observation has been difficult to confirm in other populations because of high linkage disequilibrium between DRB1*15:01/3 and DQB1*06:02 in most populations. In this study, we studied human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class II in 202 Chinese narcolepsy patients (11% from South China) and found all patients to be DQB1*06:02 positive. Comparing cases with 103 unselected controls, and 110 and 79 controls selected for the presence of DQB1*06:02 and DRB1*15:01, we found that the presence of DQB1*06:02 and not DRB1*15:01 was associated with narcolepsy. In particular, Southern Chinese haplotypes such as the DRB1*15:01-DQA1*01:02-DQB1*06:01 and DRB1*15:01-DQA1*01:02-DQB1*05 were not associated with narcolepsy. As reported in Japanese, Koreans, African-Americans and Caucasians, additional protective effects of DQA1*01 (non-DQA1*01:02) and susceptibility effects of DQB1*03:01 were observed. These results illustrate the extraordinary conservation of HLA class II effects in narcolepsy across populations and show that DRB1*15:01 has no effect on narcolepsy susceptibility in the absence of DQB1*06:02. The results are also in line with a previously proposed 'HLA-DQ allelic competition model' that involves competition between non-DQA1*01:02, non-DQB1*06:02 'competent' (able to dimerize together) DQ1 alleles and the major DQα*01:02/ DQβ*06:02 narcolepsy heterodimer to reduce susceptibility.

Abstract
The gene frequencies of HLA class II alleles were studied in 95 healthy Lebanese Arab and 72 healthy Bahraini Arab subjects. Our aim was to establish the genetic relationship between Bahraini and Lebanese Arabs in terms of HLA class II gene and haplotype frequencies and to compare these results with frequencies for other countries with populations of Caucasian and non-Caucasian descent. Subjects were unrelated and of both sexes, and HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 genotyping was done by the PCR sequence-specific primer technique. Comparative analysis of the HLA-DR and -DQ alleles revealed differences in the allelic distribution among Bahraini and Lebanese subjects. Analysis of the 25 HLA-DRB1 alleles that have been investigated showed that the DRB1*040101 and DRB1*110101 alleles were more frequent among Lebanese, whereas DRB1*030101 and DRB1*160101 alleles were more frequent among Bahrainis. Similarly, of the seven HLA-DQB1 alleles analyzed, the presence of DQB1*0201 was more frequent among Bahrainis, whereas DQB1*030101 was more frequent among Lebanese. The DRB1*160101-DQB1*050101 (0.1318 versus 0.0379%) and DRB1*030101-DQB1*0201 (0.1202 versus 0.0321%) haplotypes were more frequent among Bahrainis, while the DRB1*110101-DQB1*030101 (0.3142 versus 0.1198%) and DRB1*040101-DQB1*0302 (0.1416 versus 0.0278%) haplotypes were more frequent in Lebanese subjects. Furthermore, a high prevalence of the DRB1*040101-DRB1*110101-DQB1*0302-DQB1*030101 (12.63 versus 1.35%, P = 0.015) and the homozygous DRB1*110101-DRB1*110101-DQB1*030101-DQB1*030101 (7.37 versus 0.00%, P = 0.046) genotypes was seen among Lebanese, and DRB1*070101-DRB1*160101-DQB1*0201-DQB1*050101 (6.76 versus 0.00%, P = 0.034) was seen more frequently among Bahraini subjects. Our results underline significant differences between these two populations in HLA class II distribution, provide basic information for further studies of major histocompatibility complex heterogeneity among Arabic-speaking countries, and serve as a reference for further anthropological studies.

Abstract
The genetic relationship between Bahraini and Lebanese Arabs in terms of HLA class II (DRB1 and DQB1) gene and haplotype frequencies was investigated in a group of 90 Lebanese and 52 Bahraini Arabs. Subjects of both sexes were unrelated and HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 genes were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) technique. Analysis of the HLA-DRB1 alleles showed that the DRB1*040101 and DRB1*110101 alleles were more common among Lebanese, whereas DRB1*030101, DRB1*130701/1327, and DRB1*160101 alleles were more common among Bahrainis. Similarly, of the 7 HLA-DQB1 alleles analyzed, the presence of DQB1*0201 was higher among Bahrainis, whereas DQB1*030101 was higher among Lebanese. The DRB1*160101-DQB1*050101 (23.08%) and DRB1*030101-DQB1*0201 (21.15%) haplotypes were more frequent among Bahrainis, while the DRB1*110101-DQB1*030101 (56.67%), DRB1*040101-DQB1*0302 (28.89%) and DRB1*040101/DQB1*030101 (25.56%) haplotypes were more frequent in Lebanese subjects. Our results underline significant differences between these two populations in HLA class II distribution, and provide basic information for further studies of MHC heterogeneity among Arab-speaking countries, and as a reference for further anthropologic studies.

Abstract
We investigated whether HLA-DR2 or -DR12 alleles in 63 Javanese patients with complicated or non-complicated typhoid fever were associated with severity of disease. No association was observed between HLA type and susceptibility to disease. However, in patients we did find a negative association of DR12 (DRB1*12021) with complicated typhoid fever (P = 0.05; OR = 0.3; 95% CI: 0.1-1.0). No effect of DR2 (DRB1*1502) on outcome (P = 0.46; OR = 1.5; 95% CI: 0.5-4.5) was demonstrated. The odds ratio for DR12 remained unchanged after adjusting for DR2. Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) production capacity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated whole blood culture, as measured by non-equilibrium radioimmunoassay, was significantly lower in complicated than in non-complicated cases (P = 0.02), confirming previous data. No significant correlation of either DR12 (P = 0.47) or DR2 (P = 0.89) was found with TNF-alpha production capacity. Apparently, protection against complications by DR12 is attributable to other mechanisms.

Abstract
DRB1*15/16 nucleotide polymorphism was analyzed in 68 DR2 positive individuals (18 Mexican Mestizos, 30 Mazatecans and 20 Nahuas), carrying a total of 75 DR2 haplotypes. HLA-DR2 was one of the most frequent specificities detected in Mazatecans and Nahuas with gene frequency (gf) of 0.232 and 0.141, respectively. In these populations DRB1*16 was the most frequent DR2 split (gf = 0.183 in Mazatecans and gf = 0.135 in Nahuas), whereas in Mexican Mestizos the most frequent was DRB1*15 (gf = 0.065). Four DRB1-DQB1 combinations in Mexican Mestizos, two in Mazatecans and one in Nahuas were in linkage disequilibrium. In spite of the restricted polymorphism, there were differences on DRB1*15/16 alleles found in Mexicans. DRB1*1501 a Caucasian allele was predominant in Mexican Mestizos, whereas DRB1*1602 an Amerindian allele was characteristic on Indian populations. An important difference was detected among the Amerindian populations studied since DRB1*1502 was only present in Mazatecans. This data corroborates the restricted polymorphism of DRB1*15/16 and the high frequency of DRB1*16 subtype in autochthonous American populations and suggest that the differences in gene frequencies of DRB1*15/16 alleles could be helpful in distinguishing each of these population.

Abstract
Using PCR-SSOP typing we have deduced the composition and frequency of HLA-DRB1, -DRB3, -DRB4, -DRB5, -DQA1, and -DQB1 alleles present in DR51-, DR52-, and DR53-related haplotypes, in 519 individuals representative of five ethnic Thai populations recruited in central, northeastern and northern Thailand. In total, we have unequivocally detected at varying frequencies, 17 DR51-related haplotypes, 24 DR52 haplotypes, and 12 DR53 haplotypes in the study groups. We document evidence of north-south gradients of DR51-related haplotypes, whereby the overall frequency of DR51-containing haplotypes is relatively more common in the northern Thai groups. Similarly, within DR53-related haplotypes the frequency of DRB1*0901-containing haplotypes increases in the more northerly groups, and an inverse effect was observed with DRB1*0701-containing haplotypes that were relatively more common in the northeastern and central Thais. We have also compared the class II haplotype profiles of the Thais with the equivalent profiles reported in other non-Thai ethnic groups from mainland and insular SE Asia. One DR51-related haplotype DRB1*1502x, DRB5*0102x, DQA1*0101/4, DQB1*0501, would appear to be characteristic of Thai populations, as it was the most common DR2 haplotype in all five study groups and is also prevalent in other mainland southeast Asians, but is much less evident in the more northern populations of eastern Asia or China.

Abstract
There are considerable racial differences in the distribution of HLA-DR2-associated DRB1 and DRB5 alleles and the characteristics of linkage disequilibrium between these alleles. In this study, the frequencies of DR2-associated DRB1 and DRB5 alleles and related haplotypes were analyzed in 186 DR2-positive individuals out of 800 normal Koreans registered for unrelated bone marrow donors. HLA class I antigen typing was performed by the serological method and DRB1 and DRB5 genotyping by the PCR-single strand conformational polymorphism method. Only 3 alleles were detected for DR2-associated DRB1 and DRB5 genes, respectively: DRB1(*)1501 (gene frequency 8.0%), (*)1502 (3.2%), (*)1602 (0.9%); DRB5(*)0101 (8.0%), (*)0102 (3.2%), and (*)0202 (0.9%). DRB1-DRB5 haplotype analysis showed an exclusive association between these alleles: DRB1*1501-DRB5*0101 (haplotype frequency 8.0%), DRB1(*)1502-DRB5(*)0102 (3.2%), and DRB1(*)1602-DRB5(*)0202 (0.9%). The 5 most common DR2-associated A-B-DRB1 haplotypes occurring at frequencies of > or = 0.5% were A24-B52-DRB1(*)1502 (1.8%), A2-B62-DRB1(*)1501, A2-B54-DRB1(*)1501, A26-B61-DRB1(*)1501, and A24-B51-DRB1(*)1501. The remarkable homogeneity in the haplotypic associations between DR2-associated DRB1 and DRB5 alleles in Koreans would be advantageous for organ transplantation compared with other ethnic groups showing considerable heterogeneity in the distribution of DRB1-DRB5 haplotypes.

Abstract
DRB1*1506, a new allele of DR2, differs from DRB1*1501 only at codon 50 in the second exon, where the nucleotide sequence has changed from GTG to GCG resulting in an amino acid substitution from valine to alanine in DRB1*1506. Since codon 50 was considered non-polymorphic until the discovery of this new allele by sequence-based typing, it became necessary to study what fraction of subjects thought to have DRB1*1501 actually had DRB1*1506. For this purpose, 116 DNA samples with DR2 coming from normal healthy individuals, leprosy patients and childhood tuberculosis patients were amplified using PCR and hybridized with 32P-labeled probes specific for DRB1*1501, DRB1*1502, DRB1*1503, DRB1*1506, DRB1*1601 and DRB1*1602. The oligonucleotide probe for DRB1*1506 was designed to span codons 47-52 based on the published nucleotide sequence. DRB5, DQA1 and DQB1-specific amplifications and hybridizations were also carried out to study the diversity of DR2 haplotypes. It was found that 21% of the samples identified previously as DRB1*1501 were actually DRB1*1506. DRB1*1506 was found to be associated with DQB1*0502 and DQB1*0601. Haplotypes of DRB1*1501, DRB1*1502, DRB1*1506 and DRB1*1602 showed a marked heterogeneity. Besides the rare haplotypes which have not yet been reported in any other populations, haplotypes characteristic of different ethnic groups, such as Croatians, South Chinese and Gypsies, were also found in the North Indians, suggesting the extent of racial admixture and migrations to and from India.

Abstract
The system was designed with emphasis on the identification HLA-B alleles and genotypes associated or potentially associated with seronegative arthritides. By using a combination of multiplex SSP and PCR-RFLPs, the assays can be economically performed on a large range of sample sizes in diagnosis and epidemiology. 24 HLA-B alleles and subtypes can be discriminated, including options for PCR-RFLP or sequence specific amplification of the allele groups B27 and B60 (B*4001 and B*4007). In addition, the internal control carries central MHC polymorphisms, which can help to identify HLA extended halplotypes. False negatives, caused by preferential amplification of the internal control under suboptimal PCR conditions, were prevented by employing new, optimized PCR buffer. Four of the HLA-B primers were pooled into a multiplex reaction whose products were subtyped by digestion with seven restriction endonucleases. Specificity and sensitivity were verified in a panel of 68 homozygous cell lines and 200 heterozygous samples. An HLA-B*27-B*40 hybrid allele was observed in 3 out of 95 B*27-positive individuals from Berlin, Germany. Such an allele could be mistyped by some published assays as a B*27/B*40 heterozygote, a genotype reported to confer an increased risk for ankylosing spondylitis.
