Immune-mediated toxicity - Immune-mediated drug toxicity (HLA, hapten, p-i en altered repetoir)

14 important questions on Immune-mediated toxicity - Immune-mediated drug toxicity (HLA, hapten, p-i en altered repetoir)

What kind of adverse drug reactions belong under type B reactions?

  • Idiosyncratic drug reactions.
  • Unpredictable
  • not related to its known pharmacological properties and occur in a small number of susceptible individuals.

What causes idiosyncratic drug reactions? (2) give examples

Chemistry- structure
Biology - P450, UGT = patient specific.

What types of immune mediated drug toxicities do we have?

Immune-mediated drug toxicity types follow the Gell and Coombs classification, including
  • Type I (immediate, IgE-mediated like anaphylaxis)
  • Type II (cytotoxic, antibody-coated cells)
  • Type III (immune complex-mediated, like serum sickness)
  • Type IV (delayed, T-cell mediated, like rashes)
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

Why does type IV take such a long time?

  • Hapten concept involved.
  • P-I concept can be involved
  • Danger singals

Name an example of an HLA dependent immune-mediated drug allergy.

  • Abacavir.
  • Anti HIV drug
  • Rash
  • Infiltrating CD8 en CD4 in the skin => immune mediated

Welk concept is important in HLA dependent immune-mediated drug allergies?

Altered repertoire of self-peptides bound by HLA-B*57:01.

Abacavir verandert het peptide-repertoire van HLA-B*57:01 door binding in de F-pocket, maar klinische hypersensitiviteit hangt ook af van TCR-repertoire, inflammatie, tolerantie, en biologische variatie. Daarom reageert 100% in vitro, maar slechts 55% klinisch.  => iemand moet een reactive T-cel hebben die daar dan weer op reageert.

What is a danger signal?

Resembles a DAMP signal.
  • Endogenous molecules with altered expression or location due to tissue damage (DAMPs-Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns)

What are examples of Danger signals? (4). Where do these signals bind to?

  1. mtDNA
  2. Heat shock proteins
  3. S100 proteins
  4. Il-1
  5. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) chromosomal protein


Bind to TOLL LIKE receptors!

What kind of drugs are sensitive to hapten?

Penicellin: binding to albumin
Flucloxacillin:

What is the difference between hapten and PI model?

  • hapten= binding aan eiwit en dan opname door apc
  • pi = direct binding aan HLA molecuul, no COVALENT binding met peptide. No processing with apc cell. Bind zowel aan de t-cel als aan het hla molecuul.

  • Difference metabolism-dependent and independent antigenicity.
  • To what belongs hapten? 

  • Sommige geneesmiddelen veroorzaken immuunreacties alleen na metabolische activatie → metabolism-dependent antigenicity
  • Andere geneesmiddelen zijn direct reactief → metabolism-independent antigenicity
  • HAPTEN = metabolism independent.

Negative regulation and tolerance mechanism.

  • Negative regulation: cancer cells => inhibition of the immune system by the cancer cell. => Als PD-L1 bindt aan PD-1, krijgt de T‑cel een “stop”-signaal → T‑cel valt de kankercel niet aan. (dit is ook om je eigen cellen te beschermen)
  • Dit hierboven is eigenlijk ook immune tolerance mechanisms

What is the pathway of carbamazepine?-

- Voorbeeld: carbamazepine: Kort samengevat: CBZ wordt gemetaboliseerd in de lever — dat leidt tot reactieve metabolieten (bioactivatie), oxidatieve stress en verlies van detoxificatie‑capaciteit → dat schaadt hepatocyten (levercellen) → beschadigde cellen kunnen DAMPs (danger‑signalen) vrijgeven → die activeren immuuncellen via receptoren (TLR4, RAGE) → immuuncellen produceren cytokines / ontstekingsreacties → ontsteking + immuunreactie verergert leverbeschadiging → uiteindelijk leverletsels. => Dat is precies de keten: bioactivatie → oxidatieve stress → DAMPs → immuun/ontsteking → leverbeschadiging.
