On the intraoperative molecular status of renal allografts after vascular reperfusion and clinical outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Many hypothesize that subtle inflammation and immune activity detected in the intraoperative period are linked to adverse postkidney transplant clinical outcomes. To this end, renal allografts were analyzed for expression of pro-inflammatory, inflammation-induced adhesion molecules, immune activation as well as anti-apoptotic genes expressed 15 min after vascular reperfusion (zero-hour) to determine whether this analysis can aid in predicting the occurrence of delayed graft function (DGF), acute rejection (AR), and the quality of graft function at 6 mo. Intraoperative biopsies were obtained from 75 consecutively performed renal allografts in which consent was obtained 15 min after vascular reperfusion. These biopsies were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR for transcription of 15 select genes and by standard histopathology. Posttransplant clinical outcomes were also analyzed in respect to intraoperative transcriptional profiles and clinical parameters available at the time of transplantation. This study demonstrates that a limited and hypothesis-driven PCR-based transcriptional profile of the zero-hour kidney biopsy predicts posttransplant clinical outcomes including DGF, early AR, and the quality of renal function 6 mo posttransplantation. For some clinical endpoints, the combined use of molecular analysis and established clinical indicators available at the time of transplantation further enhances the quality of prognosis. The transcriptional profiling data provide absolutely essential data to the predictive models, particularly with respect to AR and renal function 6 mo posttransplantation.

Project description:The significance of borderline changes (BL) in kidney allograft biopsies is widely debated. We examined differences in gene expression patterns between early clinical biopsy tissue and 3-month protocol biopsy tissue, all of which had histological BL changes and identified specific molecular BL patterns associated with poor graft outcome. The expression profiles were analyzed in training set of patients and next data were validated in validation cohort using RT-qPCR. Using the Illumina microarray technology, we observed greater expression of immunity- and inflammation-related genes in tissues from early clinical biopsies compared to 3-month protocol biopsies with BL findings. In tissues with early clinically manifested BL changes, graft deterioration within 24 months due to chronic rejection was associated with increased activation of immune, defense, and inflammatory processes, specifically with higher donor age and expression of macrophage receptor CLEC5A. In the 3-month protocol biopsies with BL changes, graft dysfunction was associated with increased expression of fibrinogen complex transcripts. This study highlights the molecular differences between clinical and subclinical biopsies with similar histological findings. The data also support a recommendation for frequent patient monitoring, especially in those who received grafts from expanded criteria donors (ECDs). The experiments were performed with total RNA derived from the renal graft biopsy samples of 28 different patients who had undergone a kidney transplantation. Only the patients with diagnosis of borderline changes early (M-bM-^IM-$2 months) or protocolar (3 months) were included in the study. RNA profiles of patients with stable and deteriorated graft function during 2 years after transplantation were compared. As microarray platform, Illumina HumanHT-12 v4.0 Expression BeadChips (Illumina) was used. The chip scanning was performed with a BeadStation 500 instrument (Illumina Inc), and the raw data were extracted with the BeadStudio Data Analysis Software (Illumina). The R software lumi package was used to further process the raw data. The quantile method was used for normalization.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the clinical applicability of intraoperative predictors for surgical outcomes after gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) and microincisional trabeculectomy (MIT).MethodsConsecutive patients with primary, or secondary glaucoma (trauma, aphakic, or status post-retinal surgeries) with uncontrolled IOP>21mm Hg, who were scheduled to undergo GATT or MIT with or without significant cataract surgery, at a tertiary eye centre in East India between September 2021 to March 2023, were included. All surgeries were done by a single surgeon. Blanching and Trypan blue (0.4%) staining after intracameral injection using a 25 canula, were analysed in each video. The extent/pattern of blanching and blue staining in each eye was analysed objectively using an overlay of a circle with 12 sectors and a protractor tool to quantify the degrees or quadrants of blanching/staining. Multivariate regression was used to identify predictors for surgical success or the need for medications after surgery.ResultOf 167 eyes that were included (male: female- 134: 33), 49 eyes and 118 eyes underwent GATT and MIT, respectively, with 81 of 167 eyes undergoing concurrent cataract surgery. All eyes had a significant reduction in the number of medications after surgery. Blanching was seen in 154 of 167 eyes in a mean of 2±1.8 quadrants with 41% of eyes showing a blanching effect in >3 quadrants. Of 99 of 167 eyes where Trypan blue staining was assessed, staining in a venular, diffuse haze, or reticular pattern of staining was seen in 73 eyes, 26 eyes showed blue staining in >2 quadrants, with 16% staining in >3 quadrants. Surgical success was not predicted by the quadrants of blanching, blue staining, or other clinical variables (age, visual field, baseline intraocular pressure, type of surgery). The variables significantly predicting the need for medications included blanch (r = -0.1, p = 0.03), and blue staining (r = -0.1, p = 0.04) in <2 quadrants.ConclusionsBlanching and Trypan blue staining in >2 quadrants after GATT or MIT can serve as surrogate predictors for the need for medications. However more studies are mandated to find predictors for surgical success after GATT or MIT.
