Comparative Transcriptional and Phenotypic Peripheral Blood Analysis of Kidney Recipients under Cyclosporin A or Sirolimus Monotherapy

ABSTRACT: Due to its low level of nephrotoxicity and capacity to harness tolerogenic pathways, sirolimus (SRL) has been proposed as an alternative to calcineurin inhibitors in transplantation. The exact mechanisms underlying its unique immunosuppressive profile in humans, however, are still not well understood. In the current study we aimed to depict the in vivo effects of SRL in comparison with cyclosporin A (CSA) by employing gene expression profiling and multiparameter flow cytometry on blood cells collected from stable kidney recipients under immunosuppressant monotherapy. SRL recipients displayed an increased frequency of CD4+CD25highFoxp3+ T cells. However, this was accompanied by an increased number of effector memory T cells and by enrichment in NFkB-related pro-inflammatory expression pathways and monocyte and NK cell lineage-specific transcripts. Furthermore, measurement of a transcriptional signature characteristic of operationally tolerant kidney recipients failed to detect differences between SRL and CSA treated recipients. In conclusion, we show here that the blood transcriptional profile induced by SRL monotherapy in vivo does not resemble that of operationally tolerant recipients and is dominated by innate immune cells and NFkB-related pro-inflammatory events. These data provide novel insights on the complex effects of SLR on the immune system in clinical transplantation. The complete database comprised the expression measurements of 54 675 genes for kidney trasplant recipient PBMC treated with SRL (n=23) and CSA (n=14) monotherapy. 9 healthy controls were also included.

Multiparameter Immune Profiling of Operational Tolerance in Liver Transplantation

Project description:mmunosuppressive drugs can be completely withdrawn in up to 20% of liver transplant recipients, commonly referred to as ‘operationally’ tolerant. Immune characterization of these patients, however, has not been performed in detail, and we lack tests capable of identifying tolerant patients among recipients receiving maintenance immunosuppression. In the current study we have analyzed a variety of biological traits in peripheral blood of operationally tolerant liver recipients in an attempt to define a multiparameter ‘fingerprint’ of tolerance. Thus, we have performed peripheral blood gene expression profiling and extensive blood cell immunophenotyping on 16 operationally tolerant liver recipients, 16 recipients requiring on-going immunosuppressive therapy, and 10 healthy individuals. Microarray profiling identified a gene expression signature that could discriminate tolerant recipients from immunosuppression-dependent patients with high accuracy. This signature included genes encoding for ?d T-cell and NK receptors, and for proteins involved in cell proliferation arrest. In addition, tolerant recipients exhibited significantly greater numbers of circulating potentially regulatory T-cell subsets (CD4+CD25+ T-cells and Vd1+ T cells) than either non-tolerant patients or healthy individuals. Our data provide novel mechanistic insight on liver allograft operational tolerance, and constitute a first step in the search for a non-invasive diagnostic signature capable of predicting tolerance before undergoing drug weaning.

MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF LIVER ALLOGRAFTS FROM OPERATIONALLY TOLERANT TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS (Affymetrix)

Project description:In clinical organ transplantation complete cessation of immunosuppressive therapy can be successfully accomplished in selected recipients providing a proof-of-principle that allograft tolerance is attainable in humans. The intra-graft molecular pathways associated with human allograft tolerance, however, have not been comprehensively studied before. In this study we analyzed sequential liver tissue samples collected from liver recipients enrolled in a prospective multicenter immunosuppressive withdrawal clinical trial. Tolerant and non-tolerant recipients differed in the intra-graft expression of genes involved in the regulation of iron homeostasis.These results point to a critical role of iron homeostasis in the regulation of intra-graft alloimmune responses in humans and provide a set of novel biomarkers to conduct drug-weaning trials in liver transplantation. The complete database comprised the expression measurements of 54,675 genes for liver inmunotolerance groups: 9 Tolerant (TOL) 10 Non Tolerant (Non TOL).A subset of 5 tolerant samples (TOL POST) were taken 1 year after inmunosuppresive therapy.

Withdrawal of immunosuppressive therapy in stable liver transplant recipients

Project description:Complications due to long-term administration of immunosuppressive therapy increase the morbidity and mortality of liver transplant recipients. Discontinuation of immunosuppressive drugs in recipients spontaneously developing operational tolerance could substantially lessen this burden. However, this strategy results in the development of rejection in a high proportion of recipients who require lifelong immunosuppression. Thus, there is a need to identify predictive factors of successful drug withdrawal and to define the clinical and histological outcomes of operationally tolerant liver recipients. Methods. We enrolled 102 stable liver transplant recipients in an immunosuppression withdrawal trial in which drugs were gradually discontinued over a 6-9 month period. Patients with stable graft function and no signs of rejection in a liver biopsy conducted 12 months after cessation of immunosuppressive therapy were considered operationally tolerant. Results. Out of the 98 recipients who completed the study, immunosuppression discontinuation was successful in 41 recipients and rejection occurred in 57. Rejection episodes were mild and were resolved in all cases. Development of tolerance was independently associated with time elapsed since transplantation, recipient age, and male gender. No histological damage was apparent in protocol biopsies performed after successful drug withdrawal.

Absence of significant overlap in transcriptional patterns between operationally tolerant liver and kidney recipients

Project description:Transplant recipients spontaneously accepting their grafts in the absence of immunosuppression demonstrate the feasibility of attaining allograft tolerance in humans. Previous studies have identified blood transcriptional and cell phenotypic markers specific for either liver or kidney tolerant recipients, but the two settings have not been directly compared yet employing the same platforms. To identify potential similarities in immune parameters between recipients tolerant to different organs, we analyzed blood samples from tolerant and non-tolerant liver and kidney recipients employing whole genome expression microarrays. Tolerant and non-tolerant liver and kidney recipients differed in their peripheral blood expression patterns, but no significant overlap was observed between the two datasets. This was confirmed at the functional level by employing gene set enrichment analysis.The lack of obvious similarities in immune parameters associated with liver and kidney tolerant recipients implies the involvement of different mechanisms in the two settings and argues against the existence of a common immunological constant of spontaneous operational tolerance in clinical transplantation.

Mechanisms and rescue strategies of Calcineurin inhibitor mediated tolerance abrogation

Project description:To ensure safety tolerance induction protocols are accompanied by conventional immunosuppressive drugs IS. But IS such as calcineurin inhibitors CNI can interfere with tolerance induction. We investigated the effect of an additional CNI treatment on anti-CD4 mAb-induced tolerance induction upon rat kidney transplantation. Additional CNI treatment induced deteriorated graft function and chronic rejection characterised by alloantibody production, intragraft plasma cells and C3d deposition. Microarray analysis revealed enhanced intragraft expression of the B cell chemokine CXCL13 upon additional CNI treatment. In contrast PNOC, a B cell-related gene highly expressed in operational tolerant kidney transplant recipients, was decreased in grafts of anti-CD4 mAb+CsA-treated recipients suggesting an altered balance of B regulatory genes. Transient B cell depletion or transfer of Tregs three weeks after transplantation could inhibit intragraft B cell accumulation, alloantibody production and ameliorate chronic rejection. These data represent unexpected findings and should be taken into consideration when designing new clinical trials. To safe the benefit of CNI in controlling memory T cell responses we need strategies for a therapeutic optimization. We show here that early B cell depletion or transfer of Tregs may be one approach to arrest B cell accumulation, activation and graft destruction. comparative analysis of different immunosuppressive regimens on renal allograft gene expression versus untreated allografts
