Gene expression signatures of ischemia on porcine kidney

ABSTRACT: Using an oligonucleotide microarray we performed differential transcriptomic analysis of porcine kidneys subjected to intense ischemic stress which could be observed in donors deceased after circulatory death situation (60 min warm ischemia then 24h of cold storage in University of Wisconsin solution) compared to healthy kidneys (n=3). 43 genes were differentially expressed in ischemic versus healthy kidneys (adjusted p value <0.05 + log2 fold change >0.5 or <-0.5). Functional enrichment analysis via Gene ontology revealed relevant biological processes and signaling pathways such as: cellular responses to stress and cell cycle adaptation, metabolism modification, RNA reprograming, cellular phenotype changes and inflammation. Our data showed that ischemia is a dynamic process, with important transcriptional modifications on major pathways. We uncovered a number of targets which we will further validate as biomarkers and therapeutic targets to optimize organ quality.

Project description:Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) has a major impact on the long-term outcome of renal allografts. However, the mechanisms of IRI related to chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) are still poorly understood. To address this issue, in a F344 to Lewis transplantation model of the rat, kidneys were either subjected to 20 min. or 24 hours of cold ischemia. A customized cDNA microarray representing 737 immune related genes was used for gene expression analysis after 12 hours and 6 months of engraftment. Thereby showing the 6-month graft function and histology were only moderately deteriorated following short cold ischemic time (20 min.), while prolonged ischemia (24 hrs) accelerated CAN development. Following prolonged cold ischemia already 12 hrs after engraftment about 30 genes were differentially expressed up to >20-fold. This included adhesion molecules, heat shock proteins, transcription factors and chemokines (CXCL10) associated with a strong CD68+ macrophage infiltration. Furthermore we observed a remarkable up-regulation of immunoproteasomes implying a re-organisation of the proteasome complex. This data might explain the higher incidence of alloreactivity following enhanced IRI. After 6 months, the prolonged cold ischemia of 24 hours revealed the significant induction of 4 genes: clusterin, C4, and the CCR7 ligands CCL19/21. This supported the observation of enhanced vasculopathy, humoral alloreactivity and increased tracking of MHC-II+ antigen presenting cells during CAN suggesting them as suitable novel targets for combating IRI.

Before harvesting, grafts were perfused with University of Wisconsin solution at 4Â°C undergoing 20 min. (group A) or 24 hrs (group B) cold ischemia. Engrafted organs were either removed after 12 hrs (group I-A (n=3) and I-B (n=2)) or after 6 months (group II-A (n=3) and II-B (n=2)). Recipient animals of the group II received CyA treatment for 10 days at a dosage of 1.5 mg/kg. Untreated normal kidneys from F344 rats served as control. RNA from transplanted and untreated (control) rat kidneys were labeled by reverse transcription with Cy5 and Cy3 fluorescence, respectively.
