Decoding the Retn-Cap1 Pathway in Intermediate Monocytes Mediating Liver Allograft Rejection

ABSTRACT: Lymphocytes are widely recognized as the primary mediators of cellular rejection post-liver transplantation. However, conventional immunosuppressive regimens that target lymphocytes, such as calcineurin phosphatase inhibitors, corticosteroids, or lymphocyte-depleting antibodies, can only partially mitigate rejection while inducing severe adverse effects. This necessitates the search for novel immunotherapeutic targets. Here, by creating the largest single-cell multi-omics database of liver transplantation to date and employing a souporcell-based strategy to distinguish between donor and recipient cells, we delineate the dynamic landscape of immune cells during allograft rejection and their spatial distributions across donors and recipients. Our findings underscore the pivotal role of recipient derived intermediate monocytes in cellular rejection. Using CellChat ligand-receptor analysis, we identify the Resistin-Cap1 pathway as a key mechanism by which intermediate monocytes participate in T cell-mediated rejection reactions. We confirm that Resistin knockdown significantly alleviates acute rejection after rat liver transplantation, markedly extending the survival of recipients using innovative nanogold technology. These findings offer insights into the dynamic changes in the alloimmune microenvironment, pinpointing intermediate monocytes as potential diagnostic and immunotherapeutic targets during allograft rejection. This study holds significant importance in advancing non-invasive diagnostic technologies and immunotherapeutic strategies for allogeneic rejection.

Quantitative proteome analysis of liver in acute cardiac rejection in mice

Project description:In order to study the changes of liver protein level in mice with acute cardiac rejection, we established a mouse model of ectopic heart transplantation. According to the matching relationship between recipient and donor, they were divided into the following two groups: allograft group (ALLO), BALB/ C hearts were transplanted into C57BL/6J recipients with complete mismatch of major histocompatibility complex; In the syngeneic transplantation group (ISO), C57BL/6J hearts were transplanted into MHC-matched C57BL/6J recipients. On day 6 after mouse heart transplantation, livers were obtained from recipient mice in the allograft group (n = 3) and from recipient mice in the syngeneic (ISO) group (n = 3). A series of techniques such as protein extraction, enzyme digestion, TMT labeling, HPLC classification, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry tandem analysis, database search and bioinformation analysis were used to study the quantitative proteome of samples.

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

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 48766 probes in liver biopsies. The liver biopsy specimens available for the study were obtained: a) before immunosuppressive drugs were discontinued from tolerant (TOL, n=24) and non-tolerant (Non-TOL, n=29) recipients; b) at the time of rejection from non-tolerant recipients (Non TOL REJ, n=18); In addition, liver tissue samples were also collected from the following control patient groups: a) liver transplant recipients with chronic hepatitis due to recurrent hepatitis C virus infection (HEPC, n=12); b) liver transplant recipients with typical acute cellular rejection taking place during the immediate post-transplant period (REJ, n=9); c) liver transplant recipients under maintenance immunosuppression with normal liver function and normal liver histology 1 year after transplantation (CONT-Tx, n=8); and d) non-transplanted patients undergoing surgery for colorectal liver metastases (CONT, n=10).

Human lung tissue resident memory T cells are re-programmed but not eradicated with systemic glucocorticoids after acute cellular rejection

Project description:Acute cellular rejection is common after lung transplantation and is associated with an increased risk of early chronic rejection. We present combined single cell RNA and T cell receptor sequencing on recipient derived T cells obtained from the bronchoalveolar lavage of three lung transplant recipients with acute cellular rejection and compare them with T cells obtained from the same three patients after clinical treatment of rejection with high-dose, systemic glucocorticoids. At the time of acute cellular rejection, we find an oligoclonal expansion of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, that all persist as tissue resident memory T cells following successful treatment. Persisting CD8+ allograft-resident T cells have reduced gene expression for cytotoxic mediators following therapy with glucocorticoids. This clonal expansion is discordant with circulating T cell clonal expansion at the time of rejection, suggesting in-situ expansion. These findings pose a potential biological mechanism linking acute cellular rejection to chronic allograft damage.

Transcription profiling of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from four pediatric renal allograft recipients with acute rejection and concurrent anemia

Project description:Compromised renal function after renal allograft transplantation often results in anemia in the recipient. Molecular mechanisms leading to anemia during acute rejection are not fully understood; inadequate erythropoietin production and iron deficiency have been reported to be the main contributors. To increase our understanding of the molecular events underlying anemia in acute rejection, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from four pediatric renal allograft recipients with acute rejection and concurrent anemia, using DNA microarrays containing 9000 human cDNA clones (representing 7469 unique genes). In these anemic rejecting patients, an 'erythropoiesis cluster' of 11 down-regulated genes was identified, involved in hemoglobin transcription and synthesis, iron and folate binding and transport. Additionally, some alloimmune response genes were simultaneously down-regulated. An independent data set of 36 PBL samples, some with acute rejection and some with concurrence of acute rejection and anemia, were analyzed to support a possible association between acute rejection and anemia. In conclusion, analysis using DNA microarrays has identified a cluster of genes related to hemoglobin synthesis and/or erythropoeisis that was altered in kidneys with renal allograft rejection compared with normal kidneys. The possible relationship between alterations in the expression of this cluster, reduced renal function, the alloimmune process itself, and other influences on the renal transplant awaits further analysis.

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.

Dysregulated regulatory T cell responses expand fibroblasts and lead to chronic rejection after heart transplantation

Project description:Chronic rejection after organ transplantation manifests as immunosuppressant-resistant graft vascular remodeling and fibrosis, which remains the dominant driver of mortality after the first year of heart transplantation. Single-cell RNAseq analysis of MHCII-mismatched heart transplants developing chronic rejection identified graft IL-33 as a stimulator of tissue repair pathways in infiltrating myeloid cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs). Using IL-33-deficient donor mice, it was revealed that graft fibroblast-derived IL-33 potently induced Amphiregulin (Areg) expression by recipient Treg. Areg is an epidermal growth factor secreted by multiple immune cells to shape immunomodulation and tissue repair. In particular, Areg is proposed to play a major role in Treg-mediated muscle, epithelium, and nerve repair. Assessing recipient mice with Treg-specific deletion of Areg demonstrated that this pathway surprisingly contributes to chronic rejection. Specifically, heart transplants from recipients with Areg-deficient Tregs exhibited less vasculopathy and vessel-associated fibrotic niches infiltrated by recipient T cells. Mechanistically, we show that Areg does not impact Treg suppressive function, but that IL-33 mediated Treg-secretion of Areg increases fibroblast proliferation and migration. In total, these studies identify how a dysregulated repair response involving interactions between IL-33+ fibroblasts in the allograft and recipient Treg contributes to the progression of chronic rejection.

Identification of microRNAs involved in acute rejection and spontaneous tolerance in murine hepatic allografts

Project description:Graft acceptance without the need for immunosuppressive drugs is the ultimate goal of transplantation therapy. In murine liver transplantation, allografts are accepted across major histocompatibility antigen complex barriers without the use of immunosuppressive drugs and constitute a suitable model for research on immunological rejection and tolerance. MicroRNA (miRNA) has been known to be involved in the immunological responses. In order to identify mRNAs in spontaneous liver allograft tolerance, miRNA expression in hepatic allografts was examined using this transplantation model. According to the graft pathological score and function, miR-146a, 15b, 223, 23a, 27a, 34a and 451 were upregulated compared with the expression observed in the syngeneic grafts. In contrast, miR-101a, 101b and 148a were downregulated. Our results demonstrated the alteration of miRNAs in the allografts and may indicate the role of miRNAs in the induction of tolerance after transplantation. Furthermore, our data suggest that monitoring the graft expression of novel miRNAs may allow clinicians to differentiate between rejection and tolerance. A better understanding of the tolerance inducing mechanism observed in murine hepatic allografts may provide a therapeutic strategy for attenuating allograft rejection. B10.BR mice were used as donors and B10.D2 mice were used as recipients. Liver allo-transplantation surgery on the mice was performed in this combination. Three mice from each group were sacrificed, and the liver grafts were removed on days 5, 8, 14 and 100 after transplantation. Total RNA, including miRNA was isolated. 100ng of total RNA was labeled by Cy3 and used as probe for hybridization to the microarray.

Donor Macrophages Modulate Rejection after Heart Transplantation

Project description:Cellular rejection after heart transplantation imparts significant morbidity and mortality. Current immunosuppressive strategies are imperfect, target recipient T-cells, and have adverse effects. The innate immune response plays an essential role in the recruitment and activation of T-cells. Targeting the donor innate immune response would represent the earliest interventional opportunity within the immune response cascade. There is limited knowledge regarding donor immune cell types and functions in the setting of cardiac transplantation and no current therapeutics exist for targeting these cell populations. Distinct populations of donor and recipient macrophages co-exist within the transplanted heart. Donor CCR2+ macrophages are key mediators of allograft rejection and deletion of MYD88 signaling in donor macrophages is sufficient to suppress rejection and extend allograft survival. This highlights the therapeutic potential of donor heart-based interventions.
