Anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody therapy reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury of renal allografts in a porcine model of donation after cardiac death.

ABSTRACT: We investigated whether blockade of the CD47 signaling pathway could reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of renal allografts donated after cardiac death (DCD) in a porcine animal model of transplantation. Renal allografts were subjected to 30 minutes of warm ischemia, 3.5 hours of cold ischemia, and then perfused with a humanized anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody (CD47mAb) in the treatment group or HTK solution in the control group (n = 4/group). The animals were euthanized five days after transplantation. At the time of reperfusion, indocyanine green-based in vivo imaging showed that CD47mAb-treated organs had greater and more uniform reperfusion. On post-transplant days 3-5, the treatment group had lower values compared to the control for creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. Histological examination of allograft tissues showed a significant decrease of acute tubular injury in the CD47mAb-treated group compared to control. Compared to the control group, CD47mAb treatment significantly decreased genes expression related to oxidative stress (sod-1, gpx-1, and txn), the inflammatory response (il-2, il-6, inf-g, and tgf-b), as well as reduced protein levels of BAX, Caspase-3, MMP2, and MMP9. These data demonstrate that CD47mAb blockade decreases IRI and subsequent tissue injury in DCD renal allografts in a large animal transplant model.

Project description:BackgroundAcute renal injury (AKI) secondary to ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury continues to be a significant perioperative problem and there is no effective treatment. Mindin belongs to the mindin/F-spondin family and involves in inflammation, proliferation, and cell apoptosis. Previous studies have explored the biological functions of mindin in liver and brain ischemic injury, but its role in AKI is unknown.MethodTo investigate whether mindin has a pathogenic role, mindin knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were used to establish renal IR model. After 30 min of ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion, renal histology, serum creatinine, and inflammatory response were examined to assess kidney injury. In vitro, proinflammatory factors and inflammatory signaling pathways were measured in mindin overexpression or knockdown and vector cells after hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR).ResultsFollowing IR, the kidney mindin level was increased in WT mice and deletion of mindin provided significant protection for mice against IR-induced renal injury as manifested by attenuated the elevation of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen along with less severity for histological alterations. Mindin deficiency significantly suppressed inflammatory cell infiltration, TNF-α and MCP-1 production following renal IR injury. Mechanistic studies revealed that mindin deficiency inhibits TLR4/JNK/NF-κB signaling activation. In vitro, the expression levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 were increased in mindin overexpression cells compared with vector cells following HR. Moreover, TLR4/JNK/NF-κB signaling activation was elevated in the mindin overexpression cells in response to HR stimulation while mindin knockdown inhibited the activation of TLR4/JNK/ NF-κB signaling after HR in vitro. Further study showed that mindin protein interacted directly with TLR4 protein. And more, mindin protein was confirmed to be expressed massively in renal tubule tissues of human hydronephrosis patients.ConclusionThese data demonstrate that mindin is a critical modulator of renal IR injury through regulating inflammatory responses. TLR4/JNK/NF-κB signaling most likely mediates the biological function of mindin in this model of renal ischemia.

Project description:BackgroundRenal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major factor contributing to acute kidney injury and it is associated with a high morbidity and mortality if untreated. Renal IRI depletes cellular and tissue adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which compromises mitochondrial function, further exacerbating renal tubular injury. Currently, no treatment for IRI is available. This study investigates the protective role of treprostinil in improving mitochondria biogenesis and recovery during rat renal IRI.MethodsMale Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to groups: control, sham, IRI-placebo or IRI-treprostinil and subjected to 45 min of bilateral renal ischemia followed by 1-72 h reperfusion. Placebo or treprostinil (100 ng/kg/min) was administered subcutaneously via an osmotic minipump.ResultsTreprostinil significantly reduced peak elevated serum creatinine (SCr) levels and accelerated normalization relative to IRI-placebo (p < 0.0001). Treatment with treprostinil also inhibited IRI-mediated renal apoptosis, mitochondrial oxidative injury (p < 0.05), and the release of cytochrome c (p < 0.01) vs. IRI-placebo. In addition, treprostinil preserved renal mitochondrial DNA copy number (p < 0.0001) and renal ATP levels (p < 0.05) to nearly those of sham-operated animals. Non-targeted semi-quantitative proteomics showed reduced levels of ATP synthase subunits in the IRI-placebo group which were restored to sham levels by treprostinil treatment (p < 0.05). Furthermore, treprostinil reduced renal IRI-induced upregulated Drp1 and pErk protein levels, and restored Sirt3 and Pgc-1α levels to baseline (p < 0.05).ConclusionsTreprostinil reduces mitochondrial-mediated renal apoptosis, inhibits mitochondria fission, and promotes mitochondria fusion, thereby accelerating mitochondrial recovery and protecting renal proximal tubules from renal IRI. These results support the clinical investigation of treprostinil as a viable therapy to reduce renal IRI.

Project description:ObjectiveDespite growing evidence of comparable outcomes in recipients of donation after circulatory death and donation after brain death donor lungs, donation after circulatory death allografts continue to be underused nationally. We examined predictors of nonuse.MethodsAll donors who donated at least 1 organ for transplantation between 2005 and 2019 were identified in the United Network for Organ Sharing registry and stratified by donation type. The primary outcome of interest was use of pulmonary allografts. Organ disposition and refusal reasons were evaluated. Multivariable regression modeling was used to assess the relationship between donor factors and use.ResultsA total of 15,458 donation after circulatory death donors met inclusion criteria. Of 30,916 lungs, 3.7% (1158) were used for transplantation and 72.8% were discarded primarily due to poor organ function. Consent was not requested in 8.4% of donation after circulatory death offers with donation after circulatory death being the leading reason (73.4%). Nonuse was associated with smoking history (P < .001), clinical infection with a blood source (12% vs 7.4%, P = .001), and lower PaO2/FiO2 ratio (median 230 vs 423, P < .001). In multivariable regression, those with PaO2/FiO2 ratio less than 250 were least likely to be transplanted (adjusted odds ratio, 0.03; P < .001), followed by cigarette use (0.28, P < .001), and donor age >50 (0.75, P = .031). Recent transplant era was associated with significantly increased use (adjusted odds ratio, 2.28; P < .001).ConclusionsNontransplantation of donation after circulatory death lungs was associated with potentially modifiable predonation factors, including organ procurement organizations' consenting behavior, and donor factors, including hypoxemia. Interventions to increase consent and standardize donation after circulatory death donor management, including selective use of ex vivo lung perfusion in the setting of hypoxemia, may increase use and the donor pool.
