The effect of cortex/medulla proportions on molecular diagnoses in kidney transplant biopsies: rejection and injury can be assessed in medulla

ABSTRACT: Histologic assessment of kidney transplant biopsies relies on cortex rather than medulla, but for microarray studies, the proportion cortex in a biopsy is typically unknown and could affect the molecular readings. The present study aimed to develop a molecular estimate of proportion cortex in biopsies and examine its effect on molecular diagnoses. Microarrays from 26 kidney transplant biopsies divided into cortex and medulla components and processed separately showed that many of the most significant differences were in glomerular genes e.g. NPHS2, NPHS1, CLIC5, PTPRO, PLA2R1, PLCE1, PODXL and REN. Using NPHS2 (podocin) to estimate proportion cortex, we examined whether proportion cortex influenced molecular assessment in the Molecular Microscope Diagnostic System. In 1190 unselected kidney transplant indication biopsies (Clinicaltrials.govNCT01299168), only 11% had <50% cortex. Molecular scores for ABMR, TCMR, and injury were independent of proportion cortex. Rejection was diagnosed in many biopsies that were mostly or all medulla. Agreement in molecular diagnoses in paired cortex/medulla samples (23/26) was similar to biological replicates (32/37). We conclude that NPHS2 expression can estimate proportion cortex; that proportion cortex has little influence on molecular diagnosis of rejection, and that, although histology cannot assess medulla, rejection does occur in medulla as well as cortex.

We studied 26 pairs of cortex/medulla biopsies from 26 patients (4 unpaired), characterizing the clinical and histological features, and defined the mRNA phenotype with Affymetrix expression microarrays. We also studied 37 pairs of biopsies from biological replicates and 12 pairs from technical replicates. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

The molecular diagnosis of rejection in liver transplant biopsies: First results of the INTERLIVER study

Project description:Molecular diagnosis of rejection is emerging in kidney, heart, and lung transplant biopsies and could offer insights for liver transplant biopsies. Groups differed in median time post-transplant e.g. R3injury 99 days vs. R4late 3117 days. R2TCMR biopsies expressed typical TCMR-related transcripts e.g. intense IFNG-induced effects. R3injury displayed increased expression of parenchymal injury transcripts (e.g. hypoxia-inducible factor EGLN1). R4late biopsies showed immunoglobulin transcripts and injury-related transcripts. R2TCMR correlated with histologic rejection although with many discrepancies, and R4late with fibrosis. R2TCMR, R3injury, and R4late correlated with liver function abnormalities. Supervised classifiers trained on histologic rejection showed less agreement with histology than unsupervised R2TCMR scores. No confirmed cases of clinical ABMR were present in the population, and strategies that previously revealed antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) in kidney and heart transplants failed to reveal a liver ABMR phenotype. In conclusion, molecular analysis of liver transplant biopsies detects rejection, has the potential to resolve ambiguities, and could assist with immunosuppressive management.

Subthreshold rejection activity in many kidney transplants currently classified as having no rejection.

Project description:Most kidney transplant patients who undergo biopsies are classified as having no rejection based on consensus thresholds. However, we hypothesized that because these patients have normal adaptive immune systems, T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) and antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) may exist as subthreshold activity in some transplants currently classified as no rejection. Subthreshold molecular TCMR and/or ABMR activity molecular activity was detectable as elevated classifier scores in many biopsies classified as no rejection, with ABMR activity in many TCMR biopsies and TCMR activity in many ABMR biopsies. In biopsies classified as no rejection histologically and molecularly, molecular TCMR classifier scores correlated with increases in histologic TCMR features and molecular injury, lower eGFR, and higher risk of graft loss, and molecular ABMR activity correlated with increased glomerulitis and donor-specific antibody. No rejection biopsies with high subthreshold TCMR or ABMR activity had a higher probability of having TCMR or ABMR respectively diagnosed in a future biopsy. We conclude that many kidney transplant recipients have unrecognized subthreshold TCMR or ABMR activity, with significant implications for future problems.

Gene expression profiling of renal medulla and cortex during postnatal development

Project description:The aim of this study is to establish a comprehensive transcriptome atlas that enables identification of key molecular pathways and morphogenic events regulating postnatal renal medulla/papillary and cortex development. To achieve this, a microarray expression profiling was performed on postnatal day 0-90 renal medulla and cortex obtained from CD1 male mice. Renal medulla and cortex were regionally dissected from postnatal day 0-90 CD1 male mice, and total RNA extracted for microarray expression profiling. Each time point consists of RNA pooled from 4 biological replicates, and an Agilent Bioanalyser test was performed to assess RNA integrity prior to sample pooling. The microarray data was analysed with the use of lumi and limma packages (Bioconductor) in R.

Many heart transplant biopsies currently diagnosed as no rejection have mild molecular antibody-mediated rejection-related changes

Project description:Previous studies of rejection-associated transcript expression in heart transplant biopsies identified not only rejection but a group of early biopsies with injury but no rejection. The present analysis used an expanded population of biopsies to explore parenchymal injury in all biopsies, with or without rejection, and its relationship to function, and outcome. Archetypal analysis defined five injury clusters: no-injury (N=376); mild (N=526); moderate (N=110); severe (N=87); and late (N=221). The late group, 62% of which had no rejection, had molecular characteristics associated with atrophy-fibrosis, depressed LVEF, and increased graft loss independent of rejection status. In random forest analysis, low LVEF was more strongly associated with injury scores than with rejection scores. Three-year graft failure was best predicted using a combination of injury and rejection scores. In heart transplant biopsies, injury-related molecular scores correlate with dysfunction and risk of failure and identify an important new group of late heart transplants, many with no rejection, that have impaired function and a high risk of graft loss. (ClinicalTrials.gov #NCT02670408).

An integrated molecular diagnostic report for heart transplant biopsies using an ensemble of diagnostic algorithms

Project description:We previously reported a microarray-based diagnostic system for heart transplant endomyocardial biopsies (EMBs), using either 3-archetype (3AA) or 4-archetype (4AA) unsupervised algorithms to estimate rejection. The present study aimed to examine the stability of machine-learning algorithms in new biopsies, compare 3AA vs. 4AA algorithms, assess supervised binary classifiers trained on histologic or molecular diagnoses, create a report combining many scores into an ensemble of estimates, and examine possible automated sign-outs. Algorithms derived in cohort 331 performed similarly in new biopsies despite differences in case mix. In the combined cohort, the 4AA model, including a parenchymal injury score, retained correlations with histologic rejection and DSA similar to the 3AA model. Supervised molecular classifiers predicted molecular rejection (AUCs>0.87) better than histologic rejection (AUCs<0.78), even when trained on histology diagnoses. A report incorporating many AA and binary classifier scores interpreted by one expert showed highly significant agreement with histology (p<0.001), but with many discrepancies as expected from the known noise in histology. An automated random forest score closely predicted expert diagnoses, confirming potential for automated sign-outs.Molecular algorithms are stable in new populations and can be assembled into an ensemble that combines many supervised and unsupervised estimates of the molecular disease states. (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02670408).
