Donor-recipient mismatches in MHC class I chain-related gene A in unrelated donor transplantation lead to increased incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease.

ABSTRACT: The polymorphic products of major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A (MICA) genes are important in solid organ transplantation rejection. MICA expression is limited to gut epithelium and may play a role in triggering acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). A total of 236 recipients of unrelated donor transplantation were studied. Donor-recipient human leukocyte antigen (HLA) match was 10/10 human leukocyte antigen (HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1) in 73% and MICA mismatch in 8.4%. Because of physical vicinity of the loci, MICA mismatch was significantly associated with mismatch at HLA-B and HLA-C. A higher rate of grade II-IV aGVHD was seen in MICA-mismatched patients (80% vs 40%, P = .003) irrespective of degree of HLA matching (HLA 10/10 match: 75% vs 39%, P = .02) and HLA any mismatch (83% vs 46%, P = .003). The rate of grade II-IV gastrointestinal aGVHD was also higher in MICA-mismatched patients (35% vs 17%, P = .05). We conclude that MICA may represent novel a transplantation antigen recognized by human allogeneic T cells. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier NCT00506922).

Project description:Background and objectivesSmall donor and/or kidney sizes relative to recipient size are associated with a higher risk of kidney allograft failure. Donor and recipient ages are associated with graft survival and may modulate the relationship between size mismatch and the latter. The aim of this study was to determine whether the association between donor-recipient size mismatch and graft survival differs by donor and recipient age.Design, setting, participants, & measurementWe performed a retrospective cohort study of first adult deceased donor kidney transplantations performed between 2000 and 2018 recorded in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to assess the association between donor-recipient body surface area ratio and death-censored graft survival, defined as return to dialysis or retransplantation. We considered interactions between donor-recipient body surface area ratio and each of recipient and donor age.ResultsAmong the 136,321 kidney transplant recipients included in this study, 23,614 (17%) experienced death-censored graft loss over a median follow-up of 4.3 years (interquartile range, 1.9-7.8 years). The three-way donor-recipient body surface area ratio by donor age by recipient age interaction was statistically significant (P=0.04). The magnitude of the association between severe size mismatch (donor-recipient body surface area ratio <0.80 versus ≥1.00) and death-censored graft survival was stronger with older donor age and recipient age. In all recipient age categories except the youngest (18-30 years), 5- and 10-year graft survival rates were similar or better with a size-mismatched donor aged <40 years than a nonsize-mismatched donor aged 40 years or older.ConclusionsThe association of donor-recipient size mismatch on long-term graft survival is modulated by recipient and donor age. Size-mismatched kidneys yield excellent graft survival when the donor is young. Donor age was more strongly associated with graft survival than size mismatch.

Project description:Importance:The shortage of deceased donor kidneys for transplants is an ongoing concern. Prior studies support transplanting kidneys from deceased donors with acute kidney injury (AKI), but those investigations have been subject to selection bias and small sample sizes. Current allocation practices of AKI kidneys in the United States are not well characterized. Objectives:To evaluate the association of deceased donor AKI with recipient graft survival and to characterize recovery and discard practices for AKI kidneys by organ procurement organizations. Design, Setting, and Participants:Registry-based, propensity score-matched cohort study from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2013, in the United States. The dates of analysis were March 1 to November 1, 2019. From 2010 to 2013, a total of 6832 deceased donors with AKI and 15 310 deceased donors without AKI had at least 1 kidney transplanted. This study used a 1:1, propensity score-matched analysis to match deceased donors with AKI to deceased donors without AKI and investigated outcomes in their corresponding kidney recipients. Exposure:Deceased donor AKI, defined as at least 50% or 0.3-mg/dL increase in terminal serum creatinine level from admission. Main Outcomes and Measures:Recipients were assessed for the time to death-censored graft failure and the following secondary outcomes: delayed graft function, primary nonfunction, and the time to all-cause graft failure. Results:Ninety-eight percent (6722 of 6832) of deceased donors with AKI were matched to deceased donors without AKI. The mean (SD) age of the 13 444 deceased donors was 40.4 (14.4) years, and 63% (8529 of 13 444) were male. A total of 25 323 recipients were analyzed (15 485 [61%] were male), and their mean (SD) age was 52.0 (14.7) years. Recipients were followed up for a median of 5 (interquartile range, 4-6) years. Deceased donor AKI status had no association with death-censored graft failure (hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.95-1.08) or all-cause graft failure (hazard ratio, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.93-1.02). The results were consistent after examining by AKI stage and adjusting for recipient and transplant characteristics. More recipients of AKI kidneys developed delayed graft function (29% vs 22%, P < .001). Few recipients (120 of 25 323 [0.5%]) developed primary nonfunction regardless of deceased donor AKI status. Recovery and transplantation of AKI kidneys varied by organ procurement organization; most (39 of 58) had high recovery and high discard of AKI kidneys. Conclusions and Relevance:Deceased donor AKI kidneys transplanted in the study period had recipient graft survival comparable to that of non-AKI kidneys. This study's findings suggest that the transplant community should evaluate whether currently discarded AKI kidneys from donors without substantial comorbidities can be used more effectively.
