Distinct peripheral blood molecular signature emerges with successful tacrolimus withdraw in kidney transplant recipients

ABSTRACT: Tacrolimus (Tac) is an effective anti-rejection agent in kidney transplantation, but its off-target effects make withdrawal desirable. While studies indicate that Tac can be safely withdrawn in a subset of kidney transplant recipients, immune mechanisms that underlie successful vs. unsuccessful Tac removal are unknown. We performed microarray analyses of PBMC RNA from subjects enrolled in the Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation-09 study in which stable kidney transplant recipients were randomized to Tac withdrawal or maintenance of standard immunosuppression beginning 6-mo post-transplant. Eight of 14 subjects attempted but failed withdrawal, while six developed stable graft function for ≥2 years on mycophenolate mofetil plus prednisone. Whereas failed withdrawal upregulated immune activation genes, successful Tac withdrawal was associated with a distinct, T cell-specific, downregulatory, and pro-apoptotic gene program. Functional analyses suggested stronger donor-reactive immunity in subjects who failed withdrawal without evidence of regulatory T cell dysfunction. Together, our data suggest that successful Tac withdrawal can unleash an active, protective pro-apoptotic T cell program, and provide the foundation for developing strategies to promote this protective immunological phenotype in kidney transplant recipients.

Affymetrix SNP array data for kidney transplant samples

Project description:Tacrolimus (TAC) is an immunosuppressant widely used in kidney transplantation. TAC displays considerable inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetics (PK). Genetic and clinical factors play important roles in TAC PK. To define genetic factors associated with tacrolimus blood trough concentration, we performed a genome-wide association study of renal transplant samples from 251 Chinese renal transplant recipients. We identified 23 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to TAC PK variability. All 23 genome-wide significant SNPs (p<5E-8) were located on chromosome 7, including rs776746. These findings suggest that these SNPs may be associated with the unexlained TAC PK variability in renal transplant recipients and require further investigation.

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.

Identification of a B cell signature associated with renal transplant Tolerance in humans

Project description:In this study, investigators recruited the largest reported cohort of tolerant kidney transplant recipients who maintained their graft after ceasing to take their immunosuppression drug, and compared this cohort to subjects with stable allograft function while on immunosuppression and healthy non transplated, controls. Using gene expression studies, they identified genetic markers that are strong candidates for predicting kidney transplant candidates who may benefit from minimization or withdrawl of immunosuppression. Microarrays were used to detect expressed gene profiles of whole-blood total RNA from subjects in the tolerant, standard immunotherapy and healthy control participants

Molecular changes in kidney allografts after simultaneous liver-kidney compared with solitary kidney transplantation

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate correlations between early subclinical findings (10 and 90 day histology and gene expression data) and late outcomes (transplant glomerulopathy and graft loss) in positive crossmatch kidney transplants (+XMKTx). Our goal was threefold: first, to confirm that intragraft molecular changes at 12m post-transplant are associated with the observed histologic changes in SLK transplant recipients, compared with KTA transplant recipients; second, to ascertain whether specific molecular pathways/markers that are not accounted for by routine histology are differentially expressed in the kidney allografts of the SLK transplant recipients; and third, to determine whether a molecular signature that is uniquely associated with simultaneous liver transplantation can be identified in kidney allografts. Biopsy samples were from positive and negative crossmatch simultaneous liver-kidney transplant recipients (12 month protocol biopsies) were compared to control patient (positive and negative crossmatch) biopsies obtained at 12 months. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Intragraft molecular pathways associated with tolerance induction in renal transplantation

Project description:Complications associated with immunosuppression, specifically nephrotoxicity and infection risk, significantly affect graft and patient survival after kidney transplantation. We previously showed that tolerance could be induced and full donor chimerism, as well as immunosuppression withdrawal, was obtained in highly mismatched allograft recipients using a bioengineered stem cell product (FCRx). Gene expression profiles in renal biopsy samples from tolerance-induced FCRx recipients, paired donor organs before implant, and subjects under standard immunosuppression (SIS) without rejection and with acute rejection were compared. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Background: Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) is a new causative agent of chronic hepatitis in solid organ transplant recipients in Europe. Factors associated with the occurrence and persistence of chronic HEV infection remain largely unknown but chronic evolution seems to be the consequence of hostM-bM-^@M-^Ys immunological factors rather than of viral factors. Method: In a prospective case-control study, we have determined in whole blood of chronically HEV-infected kidney-transplant recipients the host response using microarray technology. Results: Chronically HEV-infected kidney-transplant recipients exhibited a specific transcriptional program, in which interferon effectors were prominent. The intensity of expression of each signatureM-bM-^@M-^Ys gene was significantly lower in patients who were subsequently cleared of HEV than in patients who were not. Furthermore, in patients who were cleared of HEV, a higher expression of these genes was associated with a longer delay until HEV clearance. Conclusions: The specific transcriptional program determined in chronically HEV-infected kidney-transplant recipients suggests an activation of type I interferon response. Intensity of interferon-stimulated genes expression could be useful to forecast the outcome of infection. High expression of interferon-stimulated genes could signify a dysregulation in the interferon response that might favour the persistence of the HEV infection. TrialM-bM-^@M-^Ys registration number: NCT01090232; RegistryM-bM-^@M-^Ys URL: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT01090232?term=kidney+transplant+recipients&cntry1=EU%3AFR&rank=2 Total RNA was extracted from whole-blood sample or monocytes of kidney-transplant patients with or without chronic hepatitis E (CHE) infection. Control patients were matched up with CHE patients for age, sex, time since kidney transplant and immunosuppressive treatment.
