Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion influences the immunogenicity of donor livers in humans

ABSTRACT: Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) is an organ preservation strategy shown to reduce ischemia-reperfusion-injury (IRI)-related complications following liver transplantation this remains to be evaluated in humans. Analysis of liver tissue transcriptome at reperfusion revealed an effect of HOPE on the reactive oxygen species pathway. Two weeks post transplantation, HOPE recipients exhibited increased circulating CD4+FOXP3+CD127lo regulatory T cells (Tregs) (p<0.01), which corresponded to a higher frequency of donor specific Tregs (p<0.01) and was followed by reduced alloreactivity index of CD8+ T cells 3 months post-transplant. Our study provides novel mechanistic insight into the capacity of HOPE to influence liver IRI and to modulate effector and regulatory donor-specific Tcell responses post-transplantation. These findings, which confirm observations made in animal models, help explain the decreased rejection rates reported in patients receiving HOPE-treated allografts.

Project description:INTRODUCTION Ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI)-elicited tissue injury contributes to morbidity and mortality in a wide range of pathologies, including myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, acute kidney injury, trauma, circulatory arrest 1. Ischemia-reperfusion injury is also a major challenge during organ transplantation and cardiothoracic, vascular and general surgery 1. IRI, one of the biggest challenges for organ transplantation, continues to be a vital source of morbidity among recipients, especially in liver transplantation 2. With the enlarging shortage of available donor livers, the increased use of extended criteria donor grafts further increases IRI, adversely affecting both short-term and long-term outcomes of graft and patient survival 3. Numerous studies have investigated the benefits of pharmacological, heat shock, and ischemic preconditioning interventions aimed at decreasing liver IRI 4. However, the benefit was limited. Our center has been making great effort in conquering IRI and have developed a novel surgical technique called ischemia-free liver transplantation 5. It is an ultimate method to overcome IRI in liver transplantation, but there is still a long way to popularize it. As a result, it is still of great significance to study IRI and identify the core genes in the process and the underlying mechanism. Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis has been increasingly important as a method to study various pathological and physiological condition 6. By enrolling multiple omics or combining different types of omics, comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was able to recognize key factors that could have potentially pathogenic impact such as gene expression, protein function, and downstream pathways. With the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, several transcriptomic datasets on IRI of liver transplantation have become available in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Herein, we recruited 3 GEO datasets to conduct comprehensive analysis with the GEO dataset from our center. Moreover, we performed the first proteome of liver tissues to study liver IRI. Then the transcriptome and proteome were used for combined analysis to reveal key factors in liver IRI.
