Expression data from a model of renal deceased by cardiac death (DCD) donation in rat

ABSTRACT: In DCD organ donation one of the significant problems for the organ is the inflammatory response due to ischaemiua reperfusion injury caused by warm ischaemia prior to retrieval followed by warm reoxygenation upon transplantation. We developed a model where a DCD kidney was retrieved and stoired overnight then the organ was surgically attached to the femoral artery of a recipient rat and blood flow restored for up to six hours to simulate early ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI). The recipient rats consisted of a control group compared to groups recieveing either low molecular weight heparin or an anti-inflammatory peptide to assess their activity in ameliorating IRI. We used equimolar pooled RNA samples from each group to perform an exploratory microarray experiment. Donor kidneys were harvested and static cold stored in University of Wisconsin (UW) Solution overnight before being surgically connected to the femoral artery of a recipient rat to simulate transplantation and whole blood ischaemia reperfusion injury. The model was then used to test the anti-inflammatory properties of the glycosaminoglycan heparin and a peptide based upon the heparin binding domain of the pro-inflammatory chemokine CCL5. The treatments were delivered as a bolus in normal saline and control recipients were given normal saline as a control. The kidneys underwent perfusion by normal blood flow for a period of up to six hours after which the recipient was euthanased and the donor kidney was removed. Half of the donor kidney was used to extract RNA and half taken for immunohistochemical analysis. The RNA was extracted using the Tri reagent and stored in RNA Later. The qualitative best three RNAs from each group were quantified by fluorimetry and mixed in an equimolar manner and used for microarray analysis.

Project description:Ischemia-reperfusion injury during liver transplantation is responsible for early allograft dysfunction (EAD) and failure, both of which are associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality in the recipient. The purpose of this study was to study major transcriptional alterations in livers procured from different types of human liver donors in order to identify genetic profiles predictive of post-implantation function. We have analyzed samples form living donors (LD), donors after cardiac death (DCD), donors after brain death, with subsequent post-implantation EAD in the recipient (DBD-EAD); and donors after brain death without EAD (DBD). Two samples were obtained from each donor: sample A was taken immediately before cold perfusion (baseline) and sample B 2h after portal reperfusion. We identified clear differences in gene expression patterns according to donor source. Both samples A and B from DBD-EAD and DCD demonstrated over-expression of pro-apoptotic and inflammatory transcripts. However, in DBD and LD, expression of these genes was low at baseline and rose only after reperfusion. DBD and LD demonstrated the greatest increase in overall genetic expression after reperfusion when sample B was contrasted with A, indicating less baseline graft injury in these two groups. Grafts from LD were characterized by activation of transcripts related to anti-ischemic and regenerative processes and fewer pro-inflammatory gene transcripts. This transcriptional events occurring in liver allografts could allow for the prediction of post-transplant function. Pro-inflammatory and ischemic transcriptional changes in the grafts are directly related to donor type and may be useful targets for the development of future therapeutic strategies. The complete database comprised the expression for samples taken from 33 liver grafts. Sample A was taken immediately before cold perfusion (baseline) and sample B 2 h after portal reperfusion. Donors were from one of four groups: living (LD); after cardiac death (DCD); after brain death, with subsequent post-implantation EAD in the recipient (DBD-EAD); and after brain death without EAD (DBD). RNA was extracted from the 66 samples and analyzed using Illumina Beadarray technology. A group of 3 samples from healthy volunteers and 3 samples form LD taken at the start of surgery are included as controls or reference samples. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
