Project description:Immunosuppression is needed in HLA identical sibling renal transplantation. We conducted a tolerance trial in this patient cohort using Alemtuzumab induction, donor hematopoietic stem cells, tacrolimus/mycophenolate immunosuppression converted to sirolimus, planning complete drug withdrawal by 24 months post-transplantation. After an additional 12 months with no immunosuppression, normal biopsies and renal function, recipients were considered tolerant. Twenty recipients were enrolled. Of the first 10 (>36 months post-transplantation), 5 had immunosuppression successfully withdrawn for 16-36 months (tolerant), 2 had disease recurrence and 3 had subclinical rejection in protocol biopsies (non-tolerant). Microchimerism disappeared after 1 year, and CD4+CD25highCD127-FOXP3+ T cells and CD19+IgD/M+CD27- B cells increased to 5 years post-transplantation in both groups, whereas immune/inflammatory gene expression pathways in the peripheral blood and urine were differentially downregulated in tolerant compared to non-tolerant recipients. Therefore, in this HLA identical renal transplant tolerance trial, absent chimerism, Treg and Breg immunophenotypes were indistinguishable between tolerant and non-tolerant recipients, but global genomic changes indicating immunomodulation were observed only in tolerant recipients.

Project description:Microarray technology has evolved as a powerful tool over the last decade, to identify biomarkers and study the mechanisms of diseases. We propose a novel application of integrated genomics by combining transcriptional levels with serological antibody profiling after kidney transplantation, with the aim of uncovering the relative immunogenicity of seven different renal compartments after allo-transplantation. Thirty-six paired pre- and post-transplant serum samples were examined from eighteen transplant recipients, across 5,056 protein targets on the ProtoArray V3.0 platform. Normal renal compartment-specific gene expression data from a cDNA platform were re-analyzed and both the cDNA and the ProtoArray platforms were re-annotated to most up-to-date NCBI gene identifiers; 3,835 genes/proteins are measured on both platforms. Antibody levels were ranked for individual patients and the hypergeometric enrichment statistic was applied on mapped compartment-specific expression data. We discovered that after transplantation, in addition to HLA and MICA responses, temporal alloimmune responses are seen against non-HLA antigens specific to different compartments of the kidney, with highest level responses noted against renal pelvis and cortex specific antigens. The renal medulla is of low immunogenicity as none of the outer or inner medulla specific targets generated significant post-transplant antibody responses. Immunohistochemistry confirmed pelvis and cortex specific localizations of selected targeted antigens, supporting the robust nature of this discovery. This study provides a road map of renal compartment-specific non-HLA antigenic targets responsible for generating alloimmune responses, opening the door for clinical correlations with post-transplant dysfunctional states to be determined.

Therefore, in this HLA identical renal transplant tolerance trial, absent chimerism, Treg and Breg immunophenotypes were indistinguishable between tolerant and non-tolerant recipients, but global genomic changes indicating immunomodulation were observed only in tolerant recipients. A total of 46 PBMC samples representing blood draws from four time points in the first 9 recipients were processed for microarray analysis (The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA). The analyzed time points were: immediately pre-operatively in the absence of immunosuppression (n=9); post-operatively at 1 year (n=8, range 11-13 months); at 2 years (n=12, range 18-25 months); >3 years (n=17, range 32-48 months). (At year 2 and at > 3 years, repeated samples were obtained from individual subjects, and at one year, one subject had a technically unsatisfactory sample.) To discount the effects of immunosuppression on gene expression, microarray data were included on whole blood from 18 healthy human subjects (controls: GSE40586; NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus [GEO] repository).

Project description:Background: If the majority of antibody mediated rejections (AMRs) of the renal allograft are due to anti-HLA antibodies, non anti-HLA antibodies have also been suspected. The occurrence of non anti-HLA-associated AMRs remains associated with unresolved diagnostic and therapeutic issues. Methods: To better understand the pathomechanisms of these rejections, we identified, though a nation-wide study, kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), without anti-HLA donor specific antibodies, experiencing acute graft dysfunction within the first 3 months after transplantation and severe microvascular injury on biopsy (called acute microvascular rejections, AMVR).
