Effects of Donor-Recipient Age Difference in Renal Transplantation, an Investigation on Renal Function and Fluid Proteome.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Introduction
Our previous study revealed that a young internal environment ameliorated kidney aging by virtue of an animal model of heterochronic parabiosis and a model of heterochronic renal transplantation. In this research, we used proteome to investigate the effects of donor-recipient age difference in clinical renal transplantation.Methods
This study included 10 pairs of renal transplantation donors and recipients with an age difference of greater than 20 years to their corresponding recipients/donors. All recipients have received transplantation more than 3 years ago. Renal function and the serum/urine proteomes of the donors and recipients were analyzed.Results
The renal function was similar between the young recipients and the old donors. In contrast, the renal function of the young donors was significantly superior to that of the old recipients. Furthermore, 497 and 975 proteins were identified in the serum and urine proteomes, respectively. The content of SLC3A2 in the blood was found to be related to aging, while the contents of SERPINA1 and SERPINA3 in the urine were related to immune functions after renal transplantation.Conclusion
This study demonstrated that, in the human body, a younger internal environment could ameliorate kidney aging and provided not only clinical evidence for increasing the age limit of kidney transplant donors but also new information for kidney aging research.

Project description:IntroductionOwing to organ shortage, the number of kidney transplantation (KT) involving older adult living donors is increasing. We aimed to investigate the effects of living-donor age and donor-recipient age differences on KT outcomes.MethodsThis single-center, retrospective cohort study involved 853 adult LDKTs performed between January 2008 and December 2018. Recipients were stratified into the following 5 groups based on donor age and donor-recipient age difference: donor age, 30 to 49 years and age difference, -10 to 15 years; donor age, 50 to 69 years and age difference, -10 to 15 years; donor age, 50 to 69 years and age difference, 15 to 40 years; donor age, 70 to 89 years and age difference, -10 to 15 years; and donor age, 70 to 89 years and age difference, 15 to 40 years (groups 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively). As a primary outcome, the risk of graft loss was investigated. The secondary outcomes were postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) and mortality rates of recipients.ResultsGroup 4, representing KT between older adult donors and older adult recipients, had the highest graft loss risk and mortality. The eGFRs of the recipients from donors aged 70 to 89 years (groups 4 and 5) were significantly lower than those from donors in the other groups. Although the differences in the eGFR between groups 4 and 5 were not significant, the eGFR of group 4 was lower than that of group 5 at 6 months post-KT.ConclusionLDKTs from older adult donors to older adult recipients resulted in the worst graft survival and mortality rates.

Project description:This study evaluated the combined effect of recipient-to-donor weight and sex mismatch after deceased-donor renal transplantation in a German transplant cohort and the evolution of recipient-to-donor weight difference over a 13-year observation period. The association of absolute weight and sex difference with graft failure was explored in an outpatient cohort of deceased-donor transplant recipients who underwent kidney transplantation between 2000 and 2012. Graft failure was defined as repeated need for dialysis or death with a functioning graft. Recipient and donor sex pairings were classified as sex concordant (MDMR/FDFR) or discordant (MDFR/FDMR). These classes were further stratified into four groups according to recipient-to-donor weight mismatch ≥10 kg (recipient > donor) or <10 kg (recipient < donor). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were applied to evaluate the time to graft loss adjusting for donor, immunologic, surgical, organizational, and recipient predictors. Sex-concordant transplant pairings <10 kg weight difference served as the reference group. Among 826 transplant recipients, 154 developed graft failure (18.6%). Median graft survival time was 3.9 years; first quartile (0.2-1.2), second quartile (1.2-2.9), third quartile (2.9-5.8), and fourth quartile (5.8-12.4). After multivariable adjustment, the highest relative hazard for graft failure was observed for sex-discordant transplant pairings with a ≥10 kg weight difference between recipient and donor (compared to the reference group MDMR/FDFR with weight difference <10 kg, MDMR/FDFR with weight difference ≥10 kg, hazard ratio 1.86, 95% confidence interval 1.07-3.32-p = 0.029; MDFR/FDMR with weight difference <10 kg, hazard ratio 1.14, 95% confidence interval 0.78-1.68-p = 0.507, and MDFR/FDMR with weight difference ≥10 kg, hazard ratio 2.00, 95% confidence interval 1.15-3.48-p = 0.014). A recipient-to-donor weight mismatch of ≥10 kg was associated with an increased risk of graft loss or recipient death with a functioning graft. Concurrent sex discordance seemed to enhance this effect as indicated by an increase in the hazard ratio. We detected no significant tendency for increasing recipient-to-donor weight differences from 2000 to 2012.

Project description:The association of donor and recipient age with survival following adult heart transplantation has not been well characterized. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the relationship between donor and recipient age on post-transplant survival. We retrospectively reviewed the 2005-2018 UNOS heart transplant database for all adult recipients undergoing first-time isolated heart transplantation. The impact of donor and recipient age on survival was analyzed with Cox proportional hazards modeling using restricted cubic splines. A total of 25 480 heart transplant donor and recipient pairs met inclusion criteria. Unadjusted and adjusted Cox proportional hazards modeling demonstrated a near-linear association between increasing donor age and decreased survival; in addition, older and younger recipient age was associated with decreased survival. After adjustment, there was no significant interaction between donor and recipient age. Older donors decreased survival similarly in both older and younger recipients. Increasing donor age and both younger and older recipient age are independently associated with worsened post-heart transplant survival. The relationship between donor and recipient age does not significantly affect survival following heart transplant.

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:IntroductionAntibody to hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAb) is known to be related with the prognosis for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aims to evaluate the prognostic capacity of HbcAb and other donor/recipient hepatitis B seroepidemiological indexes in transplantation for HCC.MethodsBased on the national liver transplant registry, we analyzed the prognostic capacity of HBcAb in liver transplantation for patients with HCC of different etiological backgrounds. The hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC cohort was further studied regarding donor/recipient hepatitis B seroepidemiology, and then divided into a training cohort (n = 1,222) and a validation cohort (n = 611) to develop a pretransplant recurrence-risk predicting nomogram.ResultsPositive HbcAb in recipients was related to an increased risk of post-transplant tumor recurrence in HBV-related (n = 1,833, P = 0.007), HCV-related (n = 79, P = 0.037), and non-B non-C HCC (n = 313, P = 0.017). In HBV-related HCC (n = 1,833), donor hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) was also associated with post-transplant tumor recurrence (P = 0.020). Multivariate analysis showed that the matching status of recipient HbcAb and donor HbsAg (MSHB) was an independent prognostic factor (P = 0.017). HbcAb-positive recipients matched with HbsAg-positive donors displayed the worst post-transplant outcomes (P < 0.001). In the training cohort (n = 1,222), a risk-predicting nomogram was established based on α-fetoprotein, Milan criteria, and MSHB. The model showed excellent prognostic capacity and safely expanded Milan criteria in both training and validation cohorts (P < 0.001).DiscussionPositive HbcAb in recipients increases the risk of post-transplant tumor recurrence in HCC with different etiological backgrounds. The nomogram based on MSHB is effective in predicting tumor recurrence after transplantation for HBV-related HCC.

Project description:BackgroundOrgan donor shortage remains as one of the limiting factors for lung transplantation. Given the increase in waiting time, preoperative condition has worsened and affects surgical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the immediate postoperative and long-term outcomes of lung transplantation in extended-criteria donor (ECD) lungs compared with standard-criteria donor (SCD) lungs.MethodsA total of 246 patients who had undergone double-lung transplantation during the study period were enrolled. SCD was defined based on the following characteristics age <55 years, <20 pack-years smoking history, and PaO2/fraction of O2 ratio >300 mmHg. Organ donors who do not fulfill these criteria were classified as ECD. Pre- and postoperative data for outcomes and survival data were analyzed.ResultsECD showed significant association with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning in the operating room (hazard ratio [HR], 0.531; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.291-0.970; P=0.039) considering recipient's age and status at operation. The ECD group showed comparable survival rate with the SCD group (HR, 1.413; 95% CI, 0.885-2.255; P=0.148), with adjustment of other factors. However, when the recipient had Korean Network for Organ Sharing (KONOS) status 0 at the time of transplantation (HR, 1.662; 95% CI, 1.025-2.568; P=0.039), G3 primary graft dysfunction at 72 hours after surgery (HR, 2.508; 95% CI, 1.416-4.440; P=0.002) was a risk factor that decreased survival.ConclusionsThe outcome of ECD is not inferior to that of SCD. Therefore, ECD lung should be considered a potential donor organ following active donor management rather than a contraindication of transplantation in highly selected recipients.

Project description:Graft outcomes of unrelated donor kidney transplant are comparable with those of related donor kidney transplant despite their genetic distance. This study aimed to identify whether the similarity of donor-recipient gut microbiota composition affects early transplant outcomes. Stool samples from 67 pairs of kidney transplant recipients and donors were collected. Gut microbiota differences between donors and recipients were determined using weighted UniFrac distance. Among the donor-recipient pairs, 30 (44.8%) pairs were related, while 37 (55.2%) were unrelated. The unrelated pairs, especially spousal pairs, had similar microbial composition, and they more frequently shared their meals than related pairs did. The weighted UniFrac distance showed an inverse correlation with the 6-month allograft function (p = 0.034); the correlation was significant in the unrelated pairs (p = 0.003). In the unrelated pairs, the microbial distance showed an excellent accuracy in predicting the estimated glomerular filtration rate of < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 6-months post-transplantation and was better than human leukocyte antigen incompatibility and rejection. The incidence of infection within 6 months post-transplantation increased in the recipients having dissimilar microbiota with donors compared to the other recipients. Thus, pre-transplantation microbial similarity in unrelated donors and recipients may be associated with 6-month allograft function.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a serious complication of monochorionic twin pregnancies. It results from disproportionate blood supply to each fetus caused by abnormal vascular anastomosis within the placenta. Amniotic fluid (AF) is an indicator reflecting the various conditions of the fetus, and an imbalance in AF volume is essential for the antenatal diagnosis of TTTS by ultrasound. In this study, two different mass spectrometry quantitative approaches were performed to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) within matched pairs of AF samples. METHODS:We characterized the AF proteome in pooled AF samples collected from donor and recipient twin pairs (n = 5 each) with TTTS by a global proteomics profiling approach and then preformed the statistical analysis to determine the DEPs between the two groups. Next, we carried out a targeted proteomic approach (multiple reaction monitoring) with DEPs to achieve high-confident TTTS-associated AF proteins. RESULTS:A total of 103 AF proteins that were significantly altered in their abundances between donor and recipient fetuses. The majority of upregulated proteins identified in the recipient twins (including carbonic anhydrase 1, fibrinogen alpha chain, aminopeptidase N, alpha-fetoprotein, fibrinogen gamma chain, and basement membrane-specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan core protein) have been associated with cardiac or dermatologic disease, which is often seen in recipient twins as a result of volume overload. In contrast, proteins significantly upregulated in AF collected from donor twins (including IgGFc-binding protein, apolipoprotein C-I, complement C1q subcomponent subunit B, apolipoprotein C-III, apolipoprotein A-II, decorin, alpha-2-macroglobulin, apolipoprotein A-I, and fibronectin) were those previously shown to be associated with inflammation, ischemic cardiovascular complications or renal disease. CONCLUSION:In this study, we identified proteomic biomarkers in AF collected from donor and recipient twins in pregnancies complicated by TTTS that appear to reflect underlying functional and pathophysiological challenges faced by each of the fetuses.

Project description:Genome transplantation (GT) allows the installation of purified chromosomes into recipient cells, causing the resulting organisms to adopt the genotype and the phenotype conferred by the donor cells. This key process remains a bottleneck in synthetic biology, especially for genome engineering strategies of intractable and economically important microbial species. So far, this process has only been reported using two closely related bacteria, Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri (Mmc) and Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capricolum (Mcap), and the main factors driving the compatibility between a donor genome and a recipient cell are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the impact of the evolutionary distance between donor and recipient species on the efficiency of GT. Using Mcap as the recipient cell, we successfully transplanted the genome of six bacteria belonging to the Spiroplasma phylogenetic group but including species of two distinct genera. Our results demonstrate that GT efficiency is inversely correlated with the phylogenetic distance between donor and recipient bacteria but also suggest that other species-specific barriers to GT exist. This work constitutes an important step toward understanding the cellular factors governing the GT process in order to better define and eventually extend the existing genome compatibility limit.

Project description:Toxoplasmosis may be transferred by organ transplantation. The most common clinical presentation is with multisystem disease, although isolated ocular toxoplasmosis has been described. Many centers have suggested that universal use of co-trimoxazole prophylaxis obviates the need for specific Toxoplasma testing. We report a case of donor-acquired ocular toxoplasmosis after liver transplantation despite co-trimoxazole prophylaxis. The diagnosis was confirmed by Toxoplasma polymerase chain reaction assay in conjunction with seroconversion. The fact that the infection was donor acquired was confirmed by serological mismatch and the absence of sporozoite-specific antigen antibody in the recipient.
