Résumé

Natural killer (NK) cells are key participants in the innate immune response. Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are involved in the activation and inhibition of NK cells through the recognition of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules. We investigated the impact of KIR/HLA combinations on susceptibility and long-term clinical outcome in Japanese patients with type 1 autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). A total of 154 cases of AIH were recruited at Shinshu University Hospital between 1974 and 2018. KIR genes and HLA class I and II alleles were genotyped in all patients along with 201 healthy individuals. Associations between KIR/HLA pairs and clinical outcomes (liver decompensation and liver-related death) were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards model with stepwise method. After a median follow-up period of 11.1 years, 12% of patients experienced liver decompensation and 8% died from liver disease. KIR3DL1/HLA-B Bw4-80Ile ( This study revealed the impact of specific KIR/HLA pairs in AIH susceptibility and progression in Japanese patients. KIR3DL1/HLA-B Bw4-negative patients with AIH and cirrhosis at diagnosis are at high risk of adverse outcomes and require careful surveillance. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a disease of the liver that can present in acute or chronic hepatitis. We examined whether KIR/HLA pairs were associated with AIH susceptibility or disease progression. KIR3DL1/HLA-B Bw4 was a novel KIR/HLA pair related to a favorable clinical outcome, while cirrhosis at the initial diagnosis was a risk factor for poor prognosis. Thus, frequent and careful surveillance is advised for KIR3DL1/HLA-B Bw4-negative patients with AIH and cirrhosis.
