However, transfusions can trigger alloimmunization against transfused RBCs with serious clinical sequelae. Risk factors for alloimmunization in SCD remain poorly understood. We recently reported altered regulatory T cell (Treg) and Th responses with higher circulating Th1 (IFN-\u03b3+) cytokines in chronically transfused SCD patients with alloantibodies as compared with those without alloantibodies. Because monocytes play a critical role in polarization of T cell subsets and participate in clearance of transfused RBCs, we tested the hypothesis that in response to the RBC breakdown product hemin, monocyte control of T cell polarization will differ between alloimmunized and non-alloimmunized SCD patients. Exogenous hemin induced Treg polarization in purified T cell\/monocyte cocultures from healthy volunteers through the monocyte anti-inflammatory heme-degrading enzyme heme oxygenase-1. Importantly, hemin primarily through its effect on CD16+ monocytes induced an anti-inflammatory (higher Treg\/lower Th1) polarization state in the non-alloimmunized SCD group, whereas it had little effect in the alloimmunized group. Non-alloimmunized SCD CD16+ monocytes expressed higher basal levels of heme oxygenase-1. Furthermore, IL-12, which contributed to a proinflammatory polarization state (low Treg\/high Th1) in SCD, was dampened in hemin-treated stimulated monocytes from non-alloimmunized SCD patients, but not in the alloimmunized group. These data suggest that unlike alloimmunized patients, non-alloimmunized SCD CD16+ monocytes in response to transfused RBC breakdown products promote an anti-inflammatory state that is less conducive to alloimmunization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.1400105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,31]],"date-time":"2014-05-31T02:01:19Z","timestamp":1401501679000},"page":"102-110","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Hemin Controls T Cell Polarization in Sickle Cell Alloimmunization"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"193","author":[{"given":"Hui","family":"Zhong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Complement Biology, New York Blood Center , New York, NY 10065"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weili","family":"Bao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Complement Biology, New York Blood Center , New York, NY 10065"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Friedman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine , Philadelphia, PA 19104"},{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine , Philadelphia, PA 19104"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karina","family":"Yazdanbakhsh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Complement Biology, New York Blood Center , New York, NY 10065"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025030707190607000_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"850","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI30920","article-title":"Sickle cell disease: old discoveries, new concepts, and future promise","volume":"117","author":"Frenette","year":"2007","journal-title":"J.
