Project description:Antibody-mediated rejection, caused by antibodies against the donor human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules plays a fundamental role in graft rejection in transplantation. Most significant is transplant patients who generate antibodies against the donor HLA-DQ have the highest risk of rejection. In this study, we investigated the role of indirect CD4 T cell epitopes in the formation of donor-specific antibodies (DSA). Using antigen mapping techniques in kidney and heart transplant recipients with HLA-DQ DSA, we identified two polymorphic hotspots in the HLA-DQ gene that generated alloreactive CD4 T cell responses. To study the functional significance of indirect CD4 T cells, we first mapped epitopes recognised by H2-Kb C57Bl6 mice against a skin graft from H2-Kd Balb/c mice. We identified a CD4 T cell epitope, specific for amino acids 287-301 derived from the H2-Kd protein, that generated tetramer-binding Kd287+ CD4 T cells during rejection. Importantly, the transfer of Kd287+ CD4 T cells into T cell-deficient mice was sufficient to drive an antibody response against the donor H2-Kd molecule. Lastly, we found that administration of systemic high-dose donor H2-Kd peptides combined with CTLA4-Ig reduced the formation of Kd287+ CD4 T cells and diminished DSA formation. Together, these findings demonstrate that the identification of donor antigens indicates the potential for inducing donor-specific immune tolerance in transplantation.

Project description:In the present work, we have used whole genome expression profiling of peripheral blood samples from 51 patients with biopsy-proven acute kidney transplant rejection and 24 patients with excellent function and biopsy-proven normal transplant histology. The results demonstrate that there are 1738 probesets on the Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChip representing 1472 unique genes which are differentially expressed in the peripheral blood during an acute kidney transplant rejection. By ranking these results we have identified minimal sets of 50 to 150 probesets with predictive classification accuracies for AR of greater than 90% established with several different prediction tools including DLDA and PAM. We have demonstrated that a subset of peripheral blood gene expression signatures can also diagnose four different subtypes of AR (Banff Borderline, IA, IB and IIA) and the top 100 ranked classifiers have greater than 89% predictive accuracy. Finally, we have demonstrated that there are gene signatures for early and late AR defined as less than or greater than one year post-transplant with greater than 86% predictive accuracies. We also confirmed that there are 439 time-independent gene classifiers for AR. Based on these results, we conclude that peripheral blood gene expression profiling can be used to diagnose AR at any time in the first 5 years post-transplant in the setting of acute kidney transplant dysfunction not caused by BK nephropathy, other infections, drug-induced nephrotoxicity or ureteral obstruction.

Project description:Introduction: Responses to allogeneic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules limit the survival of transplanted organs. The changes in T-cell alloreactivity that contribute to this process, however, are not fully understood. We defined a set of donor reactive T-cell clones (DRTC) with the goal to elucidate signatures of kidney allograft rejection. Methods: DRTC were identified pretransplant using an anti-donor mixed lymphocyte reaction assay: CFSE-diluting CD4+ and CD8+ DRTC were flow-sorted, and the TCR sequences were identified using Adaptive Immunosequencing. DRTC were then tracked in post-transplant biopsies, blood, and urine samples in a cohort of kidney transplant recipients. Results: In patients with an abnormal biopsy, the majority of CD8+ DRTC found within the allograft were detected in the circulating pre-transplant repertoire. Circulating CD8+ DRTC were more abundant pre- and post-transplant in patients that received non-lymphodepletional induction and developed an abnormal biopsy when compared to stable patients. Additionally, DRTC were detected as early as two weeks post-transplant in the urine of some patients, with some of these clones subsequently identified in follow-up kidney biopsy samples. Discussion: The findings of our study add to our understanding of T-cell alloreactivity following kidney transplantation and provide evidence for the role of pre-defined alloreactive T-cells in the development of allograft rejection.

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.

Project description:Transplant rejection is a major factor limiting allograft survival. CircRNAs are reported to be strongly associated with various diseases pathogenesis. However, the potential role of circRNAs in cardiac transplant rejection are rarely reported. Here, differentially expressed mRNAs and circRNAs were determined by microarrays in allogeneic cardiac allografts. Functional analysis was then performed and a full-scale functional blueprint of the circRNA-associated-ceRNA networks was constructed. Among the circRNA networks, circ23123 expression was negatively linked with cytolytic molecules of CD8+ T cells by targeting miR155-SOCS1 axis. We illustrated a new comprehensive view of circRNAs and their potential functional impact in cardiac transplantation. It may provide a prospective for therapeutic strategy on organ transplant rejection in the future.

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.
