Abstract
Background: The most significant treatment complication for patients with hemophilia A is the development of neutralizing immunoglobin G (IgG), termed inhibitors, against factor VIII (FVIII) which prevent FVIII replacement therapy. Low titers of FVIII-specific immunoglobin M (IgM) have been identified in hemophilia A patients with and without inhibitors, as well as healthy individuals. However, the duration and influence of IgM on the immune response to FVIII remains unclear.
Objective: To characterize the binding interactions of persistently secreted FVIII-specific IgM in hemophilia A mice and assess their effect on IgG antibody development.
Methods: Splenic-derived monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) from immunized FVIII knockout mice were isolated and purified using hybridoma technology. Binding interactions were assessed utilizing a novel fluid-phase ELISA and computational modeling with HADDOCK to account for weak IgM binding.
Results: Sixteen porcine cross-reactive and non-inhibitory FVIII-specific IgM MAbs were identified. RNA sequencing of FVIII-specific IgM revealed 13 unique VDJ/VJ sequences indicating derivation from 13 unique B cell clones. IgM demonstrated polyclonal and polyreactive binding to FVIII in vitro and in silico. Molecular docking studies with reconstructed IgM VDJ/VJ regions identified frequent IgM interactions with amino acid residues K376, T381, K437, R2215 or K2249 within the FVIII A2 and C2 domains. Injections of individual IgM prior to FVIII exposure and co-injection of FVIII/IgM immune complexes did not affect de novo FVIII antibody production.
Conclusion: Persistent FVIII-specific IgM are polyclonal but preferentially bind the A2 and C2 domains and FVIII/IgM immune complex formation do not significantly alter inhibitor development.
