Abstract in Portuguese
Introdução: A molécula Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) é expressa na membrana dos linfócitos T e regula negativamente o processo de apresentação do antígeno, mediando à tolerância periférica e prevenindo doenças autoimunes. Expressão reduzida de CTLA-4, devido a polimorfismos genéticos, está associada ao aumento do risco de distúrbios autoimunes, cuja fisiopatologia é similar à aloimunização pós-transfusão de concentrado de hemácias (CH). Objetivos: Avaliar se polimorfismos do gene CTLA4, que afetam a expressão proteica, estão associados à aloimunização eritrocitária. Métodos: Estudo de caso-controle em que 134 pacientes com doença falciforme (DF) e 253 pacientes não-DF foram incluídos. Todos os pacientes foram genotipados para os polimorfismos c.49A > G e c.-318C > T do gene CTLA4. As frequências genotípicas foram comparadas entre os grupos de pacientes aloimunizados e não-aloimunizados. Resultados: A frequência do genótipo c.-318C > T diferiu significativamente entre pacientes com DF aloimunizados e não-aloimunizados, independentemente de potenciais confundidores clínicos (p = 0,016). Pacientes com DF heterozigotos para o alelo c.-318T apresentaram maior risco de desenvolvimento de aloanticorpos (OR: 5,4; IC: 1,15 - 25,6). Conclusão: O polimorfismo c.-318C > T do gene CTLA4 está associado à aloimunização eritrocitária em pacientes com DF. Isso destaca o papel desempenhado pelo CTLA-4 no desenvolvimento de aloanticorpos pós-transfusionais

Abstract in English
Background: Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) molecule is expressed on T-lymphocyte membrane and negatively regulate the antigen-presenting process, mediating peripheral tolerance and preventing autoimmune diseases. Reduced expression of CTLA-4 due to gene polymorphisms is associated with increased risk of autoimmune disorders, whose physiopathology is similar to that of post-transfusion red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization. Goal: Evaluate if polymorphisms of CTLA-4 gene that affect protein expression are associated with RBC alloimmunization. Methods: Case-control study in which 134 sickle cell disease (SCD) patients and 253 non-SCD patients were included. All patients were genotyped for the polymorphisms c.49A > G and c.-318C > T of CTLA-4 gene. Genotype frequencies were compared between groups of alloimmunized and non-alloimmunized patients. Results: The genotype frequency of c.-318C > T differed significantly between alloimmunized and non-alloimmunized SCD patients, irrespective of clinical confounders (p = .016). SCD patients heterozygous for c.-318C > T allele presented higher risk of alloantibody development (OR: 5.4, CI: 1.15-25.6). Conclusion: The polymorphism c.-318C > T of CTLA-4 gene is associated with RBC alloimmunization among SCD patients. This highlights the role played by CTLA-4 on post-transfusion alloantibody development
