Améliorer l’accès à la transplantation rénale des sujets hyperimmunisés : quelle place pour un blocage de la voie de l’IL-6 dans les protocoles de désimmunisation ?
Background
Desensitization allows kidney transplantation for HLA highly sensitized subjects. Due to the central role of IL-6 in immunological response, tocilizumab (monoclonal antibody directed against IL-6 receptor) could probably improve desensitization efficacy.
Methods
Pubmed systematic review by using MeSH terms: tocilizumab, clazakizumab, interleukin-6 blockade, kidney transplantation, kidney graft and desensitization.
Studies
IL-6 plays a role in humoral response (plasmocyte differentiation induced by lymphocyte T, IL-21 secretion) as well as in cellular response (differentiation of LT Th17 rather than T reg). In desensitization field, tocilizumab was first studied as second-line treatment after failing of standard-of-care (apheresis, rituximab ± IgIV). Recent study showed that tocilizumab as a monotherapy attenuated anti-HLA antibodies rates but was not sufficient to allow transplantation. However, lymphocyte immunophenotyping showed that tocilizumab hindered B cells maturation. Thereby, tocilizumab could improve long-term efficacy of desensitization, by limiting the anti-HLA rebound and so avoiding antibody-mediated rejection. This hypothesis is supported by a recent study which used clazakizumab (monoclonal antibody directed against IL-6) in association with standard-of-care. In that study, clazakizumab was continued after kidney transplantation. Results were encouraging because 9/10 patients were transplanted and there was no donor-specific antibody at 6 months post-transplantation.
Conclusion
IL-6 pathway blockade as a monotherapy fails to desensitize HLA highly sensitized kidney transplant candidates. In association with standard-of-care, it does not seem to significatively improve kidney allograft access (short-term efficacy) vs. standard-of-care only. However, it could improve long-term prognosis of HLA incompatible transplantation by orienting the response towards a tolerogenic profile, by hindering B-cell maturation and, thereby, avoiding DSA rebounds after transplantation. This hypothesis needs to be proven by further studies.
