Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) develops in half of lung transplant (LTx) recipients by 5 years post-transplantation and is the primary cause of death after the first year (1). Respiratory viral infections (RVIs) are among the most important epidemiologic risk factors for CLAD (2-8), but the host immunologic mechanisms linking RVI with CLAD are unclear. IFN-g and the IFN-stimulated mediators CXCL10 and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) play a key role in the normal host response to RVIs. Airway and alveolar epithelial cells secrete IFN-g in response to RVI. CXCL10 (chemokine) and PD-L1 (checkpoint protein) are both highly upregulated on antigen-presenting cells in response to IFN-g (9, 10). CXCL10 helps recruit activated T cells to sites of inflammation, and higher concentrations of CXCL10 in the BAL fluid of patients at the time of RVI are associated with significantly lower forced expiratory volume in 1 second at 6 months postinfection (10). PD-L1 is a checkpoint protein that regulates inflammation by suppressing T cell activity. The PD-L1/PD-1 pathway has been shown to play a key role in lung allograft tolerance in mice (11), and there are multiple existing therapies that modulate this pathway (12). PD-L1 induces and maintains regulatory T cells, which have been associated with subsequent development of CLAD (13). Soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1) has not been previously measured in a clinical cohort of LTx recipients but has recently been shown to reduce T cell proliferation in vitro (14). Measurement of the circulating host immune response to RVI through peripheral blood samples offers the potential to elucidate the systemic links between RVI and CLAD and is a safer and easier sampling approach for clinical assays compared with bronchoscopy (10). We conducted a retrospective cohort study of LTx recipients who had blood collected at the time of RVI or acute cellular rejection (ACR)(without RVI) and tested for associations between immune mediator concentrations and subsequent clinical outcomes. We hypothesized that IFN-stimulated mediators in the blood are associated with the development of CLAD following RVI.We analyzed samples from a cohort of 250 consecutive adult patients who received their first LTx between January 2007 and May 2012 at the University of Washington (2). All participants within this cohort who had extant serum that was collected within 7 days before or up to 2 days after the diagnosis of RVI (date of the positive test result) were included in the RVI group. For the ACR group, participants were eligible if they had episodes of ACR (at least A1-or B1-grade histologic rejection on transbronchial biopsies performed for cause)(15) and did not have coexisting RVIs during the analysis time. Clinical outcomes were assessed until 1 year after RVI or ACR (2). This study was approved by the University of Washington institutional review board.
