Defunctioning polymorphism in the immunoglobulin G inhibitory receptor (FcγRIIB-T/T232) does not impact on kidney transplant or recipient survival.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is an increasing appreciation of the deleterious effects of antibody and B cells on acute and chronic transplant outcomes. Many effector functions of antibody are mediated by a family of receptors (FcγRs) that are expressed on most immune cells, including neutrophils, natural killer cells, and B cells. Most FcγRs are activating and controlled by a single inhibitory receptor, FcγRIIB (CD32B), which also regulates some aspects of B-cell activation and antibody production. FcγRIIB-deficient mice develop severe chronic arteriopathy in a murine cardiac allograft model. A single nucleotide polymorphism in human FcγRIIB (rs1050501) results in profound receptor dysfunction and is associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. The frequency of this FcγRIIB-I/T232 polymorphism also shows significant racial variation.

Methods

In the present study, we sought to determine whether the FcγRIIB-I/T232 single nucleotide polymorphism rs1050501 affected susceptibility to renal allograft rejection or loss and transplant recipient survival. FcγRIIB-I/T232 genotype was determined in 2,851 Caucasian and 570 Afro-Caribbean renal transplant recipients, and in 236 transplant recipients with a primary diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, all of whom were enrolled into the Collaborative Transplant Study.

Results

We found no significant difference in pretransplant panel reactive antibodies, acute rejection at 1-year nor in 10-year transplant or patient survival in individuals with differing FcγRIIB-I/T232 genotype.

Conclusion

This negative result is surprising, given the importance of this receptor in modulating antibody effector function.

Project description:Rationale & objectiveKidney function can be adversely affected by significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) owing to effects on cardiac output and systemic venous congestion. However, the impact of significant TR on short- and long-term kidney function following a kidney transplant remains uncertain.Study designRetrospective observational cohort.Setting & participantsKidney transplant recipients from a single center between 2016 and 2019.ExposureSignificant TR, defined by at least moderate regurgitation, on echocardiogram before kidney transplantation.OutcomesPrimary end points included the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the following 3 time points: 2 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year after transplantation. Secondary end points included major adverse cardiac events including nonfatal myocardial infarction, all-cause mortality, and hospitalization owing to cardiovascular disease.Analytical approachPropensity score matching was performed in 1:3 ratio between patients treated with significant TR and controls, within a caliper 0.05 standard deviation of the propensity score, to analyze for the primary end point.ResultsAmong 557 kidney transplant recipients, 26 (5%) exhibited significant TR pretransplantation. According to propensity score matching analysis, with 1:3 ratio between 24 patients with significant TR and 72 controls, the presence of significant TR was associated with a lower eGFR posttransplantation. Specifically, the mean eGFR was 41.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 compared to 53.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 2 weeks (P < 0.01), 50.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 versus 60.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 3 months (P < 0.01), and 49.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 versus 61.2 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 1 year (P < 0.01). Delayed graft function was observed in 41.7% of the patients with significant TR compared to 12.5% of those without significant TR (P < 0.01). No patients with significant TR required dialysis after 1 year. 1-year major adverse cardiac events were nonsignificantly higher among patients with significant TR (20.8% vs 8.1%; P = 0.16).LimitationsRetrospective design and relatively small TR population.ConclusionsThe presence of significant TR among kidney transplant recipients was associated with a lower eGFR at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year following transplant, although all remained dialysis independent at 1 year.
