Project description:Operational tolerance after solid organ transplantation is defined as stable graft acceptance without immunosuppression while maintaining normal immunocompetence against immunological insults. However, it is not clear yet which cellular and molecular pathways are driving tolerance in these patients and how this state can be induced in order to improve graft survival. Several transcriptomic analysis have shown that transcription signatures in blood can reflect the immunological state associated with operational tolerance in kidney transplant. Nonetheless, epigenetic dynamics orchestrating these transcription signatures have not yet been studied. Here, we performed genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation of kidney transplant recipients with chronic rejection and operational tolerance. Our data showed that chronic rejection and operational tolerance recipients have differential DNA methylation in 2737 genes, indicating that each patient group has a specific epigenetic signature associated with transplant outcome. In addition, we observed that operational tolerance is associated with DNA demethylation in genes involved in immune function, including B cell activation (e.g. ST6GAL1, MS4A1 and MEF2C) and the Th17 differentiation program (e.g. LY9 and BATF), while in CR patients is mostly associated intracellular signaling and ubiquitination pathways. Finally, we used weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to select the more defining epigenetic changes associated with operational tolerance. By this method, we select 12 genomic regions specifically hypomethylated (HIVEP2, HOMER1, UTRN, PTPRO, SP100 and JAZF1) or hypermethylated (EMZ8, EZR-AS, WDR20, NADSYN1, TBCD and MED17) in tolerant patients. Analysis of these genes in stable transplant recipients with immunosuppression showed that these patients have a similar methylation signature to operational tolerance recipients. Overall, these results demonstrate that DNA methylation in blood can mirror the immune status associated with kidney transplant outcome and provides a starting point for understanding the epigenetic mechanisms associated with operational tolerance.
