Organs transplanted between phylogenetically disparate species, such as from the pig into the primate, are subject to intragraft deposition of preformed recipient immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies with subsequent complement activation finally leading to complete and rapid destruction of the xenograft (hyperacute graft rejection, HAR). Current therapeutic strategies for abrogation of HAR include pretransplant antibody absorption by specific or nonspecific extracorporeal column perfusion, ex vivo donor organ perfusion, the administration of substances interfering with complement activation, or even the genetic alteration of the donor. Here, in the pig to cynomolgus monkey species combination, we are describing an experimental model for abrogation of HAR by using large, relative to the recipient weight, oversized donor kidneys as xenotransplants. Porcine kidney xenotransplantation (n = 15) was performed using large white pigs of different weights and ages as organ donors and cynomolgus monkeys as recipients. In grafts with an organ weight below 50 g (20 to 48 g, median 25 g), primary nonfunction (PNF) of the porcine kidney was observed in 11 out of 12 cases and complete HAR in 5 out of 12 experiments. In contrast, none of three grafts with a donor organ weight >70 g showed signs of HAR or PNF. In one animal, a second porcine kidney from the same donor (23 g) was successfully transplanted immediately after HAR and subsequent removal of a first porcine kidney (20 g). By using appropriate immunohistochemistry stainings of reperfusion biopsies, profound deposition of recipient natural antibodies in both small and large xenografts was shown, with only scarce deposition of C3 and C5b-9 in the latter, indicating only incomplete intragraft activation of the complement cascade in these organs. Intraoperative cardiac output (CO) measurements performed in 7 experiments demonstrated a 20 to 50% decrease in CO following reperfusion in 6 out of 7 grafts irrespective of the donor organ weight. The intraoperative decrease in CO was not associated with perioperative morbidity or mortality. The use of oversized doner kidneys can enable the study of a variety of immunologic and physiologic sequela beyond HAR associated with life-supporting discordant primate kidney transplantation. 相似文献

Organs transplanted between phylogenetically disparate species, such as from the pig into the primate, are subject to hyperacute rejection (HAR). This form of xenograft rejection is mediated by preformed natural antibodies and is believed to occur invariably in discordant xenografts thus leading to rapid destruction and complete thrombosis of the graft. Recent data, however, have shown that in the porcine to cynomolgus monkey setting, HAR is not inevitably seen after porcine kidney transplantation. The influence of preoperative antiporcine antibody levels in the recipient, cold ischemia time, and donor organ weight on the onset of HAR was investigated by using unmodified large white pigs (aged 3-12 weeks) as organ donors and adult cynomolgus monkeys (aged 1.5-3.5 years) as recipients. Porcine kidney xenotransplantation was performed in either a non-life-supporting model (n=7) or in a life-supporting model (n=8). In both models, no correlation was found between cold ischemia time and HAR. When preoperative anti-porcine antibody levels were investigated, a significant increase in incidence of HAR was observed in animals with elevated anti-porcine IgM (P<0.05) but not IgG levels (P=NS). Interestingly, although 5 of 12 grafts with an organ weight of less than 50 g underwent HAR, none of three grafts with a donor organ weight of more than 70 g showed signs of HAR. In addition, all three larger grafts showed intraoperative and postoperative urine production, although only in 1 (48 g) of the 12 grafts weighing less than 50 g primary graft function was observed. In one animal, a second porcine kidney (23 g) was successfully transplanted (without HAR) immediately after HAR and subsequent removal of a first porcine kidney (20 g). These results indicate that in the porcine to cynomolgus monkey setting anti-porcine IgM rather than IgG anti-porcine antibody levels seem to be of predominant importance for the induction of HAR. By increasing the donor organ size and weight the frequency of the onset of HAR can be at least reduced. This is most likely due to immunoabsorption of the recipients preformed antibodies in the porcine kidney without lethal damage for the graft. 相似文献

The introduction of h-DAF transgenic porcine organs into pre-clinical pig-to-primate discordant xenotransplantation has led to complete and reliable abrogation of hyperacute xenograft rejection (HAR). Despite additional heavy immunosuppression however, most xenografts are still lost due to acute vascular rejection (AVR), with current treatment protocols being of only limited value. In a life-supporting model of pig-to-primate kidney transplantation, unmodified (n=8) or h-DAF-transgenic (n=9) porcine kidneys were transplanted into cynomolgus monkeys under cyclophosphamide (CyP), cyclosporine and low-dose steroid immunosuppression. Longest recipient survival was 11 days in the control group and 68 days in the h-DAF transgenic group. Stable initial graft function with recipient survival >4 days was generated in eight animals (two controls and six transgenics). In these animals, plasma complement levels were analyzed during ongoing AVR. Compared with baseline levels, a two-fold increase in C3a levels and a four-fold increase in sC5b-9 levels were measured. In parallel to systemic complement activation, increased deposition of C3 and C5b-9 along with massive staining for recipient IgM immunoglobulins was detected in the xenografts on immunohistochemistry. We conclude that acute vascular xenograft rejection of porcine kidneys in cynomolgus monkeys is associated with classical pathway complement activation following binding of induced recipient anti-porcine antibodies. This complement activation can be observed despite membrane bound expression of human complement regulators in the porcine xenografts. Therefore, additional short-term fluid phase complement inhibition seems necessary for the future development of protocols designed for treatment of AVR in the pig-to-primate combination. 相似文献

Abstract: At present, the major barrier to successful discordant xenotransplantation of unmodified or complement regulator transgenic porcine xenografts is acute vascular xenograft rejection (AVR). AVR is associated with the intragraft deposition of induced recipient xenoreactive antibodies and subsequent complement activation. In a life-supporting pig to primate kidney xenotransplantation setting using h-DAF transgenic donor organs and postoperative immunosuppression, episodes of AVR were either treated with boluses of cyclophosphamide and steroids or with the same regimen supplemented by a three-day course of C1-Inhibitor, a multifunctional complement regulator. In 8 out of 10 animals stable initial graft function was achieved; in all animals one or more episodes of AVR were observed. When, in 4 animals, C1-Inhibitor was added to the standard anti-rejection treatment regimen, AVR was successfully reversed in 6 out of 7 episodes, while in another group of 4 animals receiving the standard anti-rejection treatment 0 out of 4 episodes of AVR responded to treatment. Response to anti-rejection treatment was associated with a significant increase in recipient survival time. We conclude that AVR of h-DAF transgenic porcine kidneys can be successfully treated by additional short-term fluid phase complement inhibition. 相似文献

Incidence of hyperacute rejection in pig-to-primate transplantation using organs from hDAF-transgenic donors 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
Schuurman HJ Pino-Chavez G Phillips MJ Thomas L White DJ Cozzi E 《Transplantation》2002,73(7):1146-1151
BACKGROUND: Cynomolgus monkeys or baboons received under immunosuppression kidney or heart grafts from pigs transgenic for human decay-accelerating factor (hDAF) or from control pigs. Hyperacute rejection (HAR) is often difficult to differentiate from nonimmunological causes of organ or recipient dysfunction (NIC), and therefore, a thorough pathology review of all cases with 0-4 days survival (inclusive) was conducted. METHODS: Pathology slides were blinded and together with limited clinical data reviewed by two pathologists. After unblinding, data were compared with the original diagnosis made during the course of the program, and a final diagnosis was reached considering the complete clinical dataset. RESULTS: Life-supporting kidney transplantation was performed in 245 cynomolgus monkeys (234 hDAF, 11 controls), of which 102 cases had 0-4 day survival. None of the hDAF cases showed HAR, whereas this occurred in 27% of controls (P<10-6). Heterotopic heart transplantation was performed in 65 monkeys (57 hDAF, 8 controls), of which 41 cases had 0-4 day survival. HAR was observed in 7% of hDAF cases and in 57% of controls (P=0.002). Heterotopic heart transplantation in baboons was performed in 33 animals (28 hDAF, 5 controls), of which 15 cases had 0-4 day survival. HAR was observed in 11% of hDAF cases and in 20% of controls. Sixteen baboons were subjected to orthotopic heart transplantation, all from hDAF donors, out of which eight survived 0-4 days. The incidence of HAR was 6%. CONCLUSIONS: In the largest series of pig-to-primate solid organ transplants performed thus far, the presence of the hDAF transgene fully prevents HAR of cynomolgus monkey kidney transplants and partially inhibits HAR of heart grafts in cynomolgus monkeys or baboons. The incidence of HAR in control grafts is significantly higher. 相似文献

Pathology of xenograft rejection: a commentary 总被引:10,自引:1,他引:9
Abstract: Trends in solid organ xenograft pathology are presented, with the focus on pig-to-nonhuman primate models. A simplified classification of rejection is followed, including hyperacute rejection (HAR), acute humoral xenograft rejection (AHXR), and acute cellular xenograft rejection (ACXR). The main components in HAR are natural xenoreactive antibodies in combination with complement activation. This is evident from the prevention of HAR in recipients in whom either antibodies or complement activation is depleted or inhibited. However, these strategies generally fail to prevent AHXR, which occurs later. AHXR is a multifactorial process in which natural and elicited antibodies may play roles, possibly in conjunction with complement, coagulation factors, and white blood cells. A main target appears to be the microvasculature which, in kidney grafts, is associated with a glomerular thrombotic microangiopathy. It is not clear to what extent species-specific physiologic disparities in complement and coagulation processes may play a role, separate from antibody-initiated processes. As rejection of solid organ xenografts is currently from AHXR, ACXR has not yet received close attention. In addition to intragraft rejection events, systemic complications following host–graft interactions have emerged, including (often fatal) consumptive coagulopathy and immune complex disease. It is anticipated that rejection processes will change when pigs with new genetic modifications become available. For instance, the precise role of natural antibodies to Galα1,3Gal will be able to be distinguished from other factors when pigs that lack the target antigen are available, and their organs can be evaluated in large animal xenotransplantation models. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Early rejection of discordant porcine xenografts in primate recipients is initiated by the intragraft binding of either preformed (hyperacute xenograft rejection) or induced (acute vascular rejection) antiporcine recipient antibodies with subsequent complement activation via the classical pathway. We have investigated the efficacy of the supplemental administration of C1-inhibitor (C1-INH), a specific inhibitor of the classical complement activation pathway, for prophylaxis of xenograft rejection in a pig to primate kidney xenotransplantation setting. METHODS: Based on the results of pharmacokinetic studies performed in two nontransplanted monkeys, supplemental C1-INH therapy was administered daily to three Cynomolgus monkeys receiving a life-supporting porcine kidney transplant together with cyclophosphamide-induction/cyclosporine A/mycophenolat-mofetil/steroid immunosuppressive therapy. RESULTS: In the three monkeys receiving porcine kidney xenografts and continuous C1-INH treatment none of the grafts underwent hyperacute rejection; all xenografts showed initial function. Recipient survival was 13, 15, and 5 days. No graft was lost due to acute vascular rejection. All animals died with a functioning graft (latest creatinine 96, 112, and 96 micromol/liter) due to bacterial septicemia. CONCLUSION: We conclude that, in our model, supplemental C1-INH therapy together with a standard immunosuppressive regimen can be helpful for prevention of xenograft rejection in a pig to primate kidney xenotransplantation setting. The optimal dose and duration of C1-INH treatment, however, has yet to be determined. 相似文献

Clinical transplantation for the treatment of end‐stage organ disease is limited by a shortage of donor organs. Successful xenotransplantation could immediately overcome this limitation. The development of homozygous α1,3‐galactosyltransferase knockout (GalT‐KO) pigs removed hyperacute rejection as the major immunologic hurdle to xenotransplantation. Nevertheless, GalT‐KO organs stimulate robust immunologic responses that are not prevented by immunosuppressive drugs. Murine studies show that recipient thymopoiesis in thymic xenografts induces xenotolerance. We transplanted life‐supporting composite thymokidneys (composite thymus and kidneys) prepared in GalT‐KO miniature swine to baboons in an attempt to induce tolerance in a preclinical xenotransplant model. Here, we report the results of seven xenogenic thymokidney transplants using a steroid‐free immunosuppressive regimen that eliminated whole‐body irradiation in all but one recipient. The regimen resulted in average recipient survival of over 50 days. This was associated with donor‐specific unresponsiveness in vitro and early baboon thymopoiesis in the porcine thymus tissue of these grafts, suggesting the development of T‐cell tolerance. The kidney grafts had no signs of cellular infiltration or deposition of IgG, and no grafts were lost due to rejection. These results show that xenogeneic thymus transplantation can support early primate thymopoiesis, which in turn may induce T‐cell tolerance to solid organ xenografts. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: For infants and small children, organ transplantation is limited by the size discrepancy between donor and recipient. To address this problem, the use of over-sized grafts from living-relative donors could potentially expand the donor pool. The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the effect of oversized grafts on early pulmonary function and to identify an indicator for acceptable size discrepancy. METHODS: Fourteen bilateral lobar lung allotransplant operations were performed without cardiopulmonary bypass in weight mismatched pairs of dogs. Animals were divided into 2 groups: Group I (n = 7), donor/recipient lung volume ratio < 2.85; Group II (n = 7), donor/recipient lung volume ratio >2.85. Pulmonary function of the recipient was measured before chest closure, after chest closure, and after the ventilator was removed. RESULTS: Pulmonary vascular resistance and airway pressure significantly increased in Group II after chest closure (1493 +/- 195 dynes sec cm(-5) and 14.4 +/- 0.9 mm Hg vs 2784 +/- 140 dynes sec cm(-5) and 23.4 +/- 1.2 mm Hg, p < 0.001). After the ventilator was removed, all recipients in Group I showed PaO2 > 239 mm Hg and PaCO2 < 76 mm Hg, whereas, all recipients in Group II showed PaO2 < 116 mm Hg and PaCO2 > 169 mm Hg. The donor/recipient chest circumference ratio was less than 1.3 in all but 1 dog in Group I. CONCLUSIONS: Acceptable, oversized grafts provide adequate pulmonary function, although excessively oversized grafts cause significant impairment in pulmonary function after chest closure. Chest circumference provides useful size-match criteria when oversized grafts are used in this canine experimental model. 相似文献

Herein, we report our experience of performing allogeneic orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) in nonhuman primates. We designed an allogeneic ABO-compatible orthotopic LT model in monkeys in a manner similar to that used in humans. We applied almost the same surgical procedures used for human conventional deceased donor LT. A total of 6 monkeys underwent allogeneic LT. One cynomolgus monkey aged 45 months (3.4 kg) and 5 rhesus macaque monkeys aged 50.2 ± 14.8 months (5.40 ± 0.33 kg) were used as recipients. In the donor surgery, the liver was perfused in situ through the aorta using cold histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution. The portal vein (diameter, 5–10 mm), supra- and infra-hepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) (diameter, 12–15 mm), and common bile duct (diameter, 1.5–3.0 mm) were dissected out. The hepatic artery was kept in continuity with the celiac trunk and abdominal aorta up to the iliac bifurcation (diameter, 5–6 mm). The mean graft weight was 102.0 g (94.8–111.0 g). Recipient surgery was conducted in parallel. After recipient hepatectomy, the graft was implanted. The suprahepatic IVC and portal vein were anastomosed to those of the graft. After reperfusion, the infrahepatic IVC was anastomosed. The aorta conduit of the graft was anastomosed to the infrarenal aorta of the recipient in a retrocolic end-to-side manner. Biliary reconstruction was performed in a duct-to-duct anastomosis with cholecystectomy. Mean operative time was 107.0 minutes for donor and 198.2 minutes for recipient. There was one operative death due to unknown cause. In conclusion, for allogeneic orthotopic LT in nonhuman primate model, we can apply almost the same procedure used for human conventional deceased donor LT in a similar manner. 相似文献

To reduce the growing waiting list for kidney transplantation, we explored the limits of kidney transplantation from donors after cardiac death by liberally accepting marginal donor kidneys for transplantation. As the percentage of primary non‐function (PNF) increased, we evaluated our transplantation program and implemented changes to reduce the high percentage of PNF in 2005, followed by a second evaluation over the period 2006–2009. Recipients of a kidney from a donor after cardiac death between 1998 and 2005 were analyzed, with PNF as outcome measure. During the period 2002–2005, the percentage of PNF increased and crossed the upper control limits of 12% which was considered as unacceptably high. After implementation of changes, this percentage was reduced to 5%, without changing the number of kidney transplantations from donors after cardiac death. Continuous monitoring of the quality of care is essential as the boundaries of organ donation and transplantation are sought. Meticulous donor, preservation, and recipient management make extension of the donor potential possible, with good results for the individual recipient. Liberal use of kidneys from donors after cardiac death may contribute to a reduction in the waiting list for kidney transplantation and dialysis associated mortality. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Pig-to-primate cardiac xenografts undergo hyperacute rejection (HAR), in which primate IgM bind to porcine endothelial alpha-Gal molecules and activate membrane attack complex (MAC) deposition. Prolonged graft survival can be achieved by using transgenic pig donors, which express human complement regulatory proteins (hCRP) to inhibit MAC. However, these xenografts invariably fail from delayed xenograft rejection (DXR). We sought to investigate the poorly understood DXR process. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Wild-type (n = 3) and transgenic (n = 3) porcine hearts were heterotopically transplanted into baboons. Biopsies were analyzed by histology and by immunohistochemistry for porcine endothelial markers (vWF, alpha-Gal, and beta-Gal) and primate IgM and MAC deposition. RESULTS: Wild-type xenografts survived 60-80 min but succumbed to rapid IgM/MAC deposition and microvascular thrombosis. Transgenic xenografts avoided HAR but showed increasing IgM/MAC deposition before rejection on days 5, 7, and 11. Serum from baboons after transgenic xenograft rejection showed increased activity against porcine endothelial cells, and in vitro incubation of untransplanted porcine cardiac sections with sensitized baboon serum showed elevated microvascular IgM binding. Increased IgM deposition appeared specific to alpha-Gal, since it competes specifically with alpha-Gal-specific GS-4 lectin, but not with beta-Gal-specific RCA-1 lectin. Competition with GS-4 was not seen if na?ve baboon serum was used. CONCLUSION: DXR may be mediated by increasing baboon IgM binding on porcine microvascular endothelial alpha-Gal molecules. 相似文献

Background
Despite progress in the current genetic manipulation of donor pigs, most non‐human primates were lost within a day of receiving porcine lung transplants. We previously reported that carbon monoxide (CO) treatment improved pulmonary function in an allogeneic lung transplant (LTx) model using miniature swine. In this study, we evaluated whether the perioperative treatment with low‐dose inhalation of CO has beneficial effects on porcine lung xenografts in cynomolgus monkeys (cynos).Methods
Eight cynos received orthotopic left LTx using either α‐1,3‐galactosyltransferase knockout (GalT‐KO; n = 2) or GalT‐KO with human decay accelerating factor (hDAF) (GalT‐KO/hDAF; n = 6) swine donors. These eight animals were divided into three groups. In Group 1 (n = 2), neither donor nor recipients received CO therapy. In Group 2 (n = 4), donors were treated with inhaled CO for 180‐minute. In Group 3 (n = 2), both donors and recipients were treated with CO (donor: 180‐minute; recipient: 360‐minute). Concentration of inhaled CO was adjusted based on measured levels of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood (15%‐20%).Results
Two recipients survived for 3 days; 75 hours (no‐CO) and 80 hours (CO in both the donor and the recipient), respectively. Histology showed less inflammatory cell infiltrates, intravascular thrombi, and hemorrhage in the 80‐hour survivor with the CO treatment than the 75‐hours non‐CO treatment. Anti–non‐Gal cytotoxicity levels did not affect the early loss of the grafts. Although CO treatment did not prolong overall xeno lung graft survival, the recipient/donor CO treatment helped to maintain platelet counts and inhibit TNF‐α and IL‐6 secretion at 2 hours after revascularization of grafts. In addition, lung xenografts that were received recipient/donor CO therapy demonstrated fewer macrophage and neutrophil infiltrates. Infiltrating macrophages as well as alveolar epithelial cells in the CO‐treated graft expressed heme oxygenase‐1.Conclusion
Although further investigation is required, CO treatment may provide a beneficial strategy for pulmonary xenografts. 相似文献15.
Improved suppression of circulating complement does not block acute vascular rejection of pig-to-rhesus monkey cardiac transplants 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

At present, acute vascular rejection (AVR) remains a primary obstacle inhibiting long-term graft survival in the pig-to-non-human primate transplant model. The present study was undertaken to determine whether repetitive injection of low dose Yunnan-cobra venom factor (Y-CVF), a potent complement inhibitor derived from the venom of Naja kaouthia can completely abrogate hemolytic complement activity and subsequently improve the results in a pig-to-rhesus monkey heterotopic heart transplant model. Nine adult rhesus monkeys received a heterotopic heart transplant from wild-type pigs and the recipients were allocated into two groups: group 1 (n = 4) received repetitive injection of low dose Y-CVF until the end of the study and group 2 (n = 5) did not receive Y-CVF. All recipients were treated with cyclosporine A (CsA), cyclophosphamide (CyP) and steroids. Repetitive Y-CVF treatment led to very dramatic fall in CH50 and serum C3 levels (CH50 < 3 units/C3 remained undetectable throughout the experiment) and successfully prevented hyperacute rejection (HAR), while three of five animals in group 2 underwent HAR. However, the continuous suppression of circulating complement did not prevent AVR and the grafts in group 1 survived from 8 to 13 days. Despite undetectable C3 in circulating blood, C3 deposition was present in these grafts. The venular thrombosis was the predominant histopathologic feature of AVR. We conclude that repetitive injection of low dose Y-CVF can be used to continuously suppress circulating complement in a very potent manner and successfully prevent HAR. However, this therapy did not inhibit complement deposition in the graft and failed to prevent AVR. These data suggest that using alternative pig donors [i.e. human decay accelerating factor (hDAF)-transgenic] in combination with the systemic use of complement inhibitors may be necessary to further control complement activation and improve survival in pig-to-non-human primate xenotransplant model. 相似文献

BackgroundThe need for donor pool expansion remains an important task for kidney transplantation. The aim of this study is the evaluation of primary nonfunction (PNF) from donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidneys.MethodsBetween 1996 and 2017, 100 kidney transplants from DCD donors were conducted in our department. We retrospectively analyzed PNF of kidney transplant recipients from DCD donors in terms of donors’ and recipients’ epidemiologic characteristics.ResultsOf 100 grafts, 95 recipients (95.0%) had discontinued hemodialysis at the time of hospital discharge. Only 5 recipients (5.0%) developed PNF. All 5 PNF recipients received a single graft from an expanded criteria donor (ECD). The mean donor age in the PNF group was 65.0 (SD, 6.2) years. Significant differences between the PNF group and discontinued dialysis group were found for donor age (P < .01) and for the use of ECD kidneys (P < .02). Nevertheless, no significant difference was found between groups for several factors: a history of hypertension and cerebrovascular events, terminal creatinine levels, and graft weight.ConclusionThe incidence of PNF from DCD kidneys was very low. Although ECD kidneys in older donors might be a significant risk factor for PNF, these findings suggest that DCD kidneys should be used more frequently for donor expansion. 相似文献

The impact of high donor age on transplantation outcome was analysed in 1180 consecutive cadaveric grafts transplanted in adult recipients. Grafts were divided into three groups acording to donor age ( < 55 years (n = 1073, group 1), 55–59 years (n = 51, group 2), ≥ 60 years (n = 56, group 3)) and transplantation outcome was compared for these groups. Criteria investigated were the incidence of primary non-function (PNF), initial function (IF) (urine production first 24 h) and long-term function (LTF). The impact of donor age on LTF was analysed among other potential donor, graft and recipient risk factors by the multivariate proportional hazardous model analysis (Cox model). The incidence of PNF was 5.8% (group 1), 11.8% (group 2), and 16.1% (group 3) (P = 0.002). Analysis of paired kidneys of PNF grafts in group 2 and group 3 revealed good function for all paired grafts except for one in each group. IF was anuria in 19.7% of group 1, 29.4% group 2 and 21.5% of group 3, oliguria in 18.2% of group 1, 23.5% of group 2 and 32% of group 3. Normal diuresis was found in 62.1% of group, 47.1% of group 2 and 47.3% of group 3 (P = 0.05). Independent risk factors for graft survival were year of transplantation, recipient age, panel reactive antibodies, donor age group and number of transplantation. After the exclusion of PNF grafts from the analysis, recipient age, year of transplantation and level of panel reactive antibodies remained as independent risk factors. 相似文献

Local renal complement activation by the donor kidney plays an important role in the pathogenesis of renal injury inherent to kidney transplantation. Contradictory results were reported about the protective effects of the donor C3F allotype on renal allograft outcome. We investigated the influence of the donor C3F allotype on renal transplant outcome, taking all different donor types into account. C3 allotypes of 1265 donor-recipient pairs were determined and divided into four genotypic groups according to the C3F allotype of the donor and the recipient. The four genotypic groups were analyzed for association with primary nonfunction (PNF), delayed graft function, acute rejection, death-censored graft survival and patient survival. Considering all donor types, multivariable analysis found no association of the donor C3F allotype with renal allograft outcome. Also, for living and deceased brain-dead donors, no association with allograft outcome was found. Post hoc subgroup analysis within deceased cardiac dead (DCD) donors revealed an independent protective association of donor C3F allotype with PNF. This study shows that the donor C3F allotype is not associated with renal allograft outcome after kidney transplantation. Subgroup analysis within DCD donors revealed an independent protective association of the donor C3F allotype with PNF, which is preliminary and warrants further validation. 相似文献

Hyperacute rejection of organ xenografts is thought to be mediated by the reaction of naturally occurring antibodies and complement of the recipient with blood vessels in the donor organ. We have suggested previously that the pathogenesis of hyperacute rejection might involve the activation of endothelial cells in the graft. To evaluate the potential role of natural antibodies and complement in hyperacute xenograft rejection, sixteen human sera were tested for variation in the ability to activate porcine endothelial cells as manifested by the release of biosynthetically labeled heparan sulfate from the cells. It was then asked to which extent such variation might reflect differences in natural antibody titer and/or complement activity. The sera mediated release of 3.6-57% of endothelial cell-associated heparan sulfate. Heparan sulfate release correlated significantly with the titer, in the sera, of IgM antibodies that bound to cultured endothelial cells (P = 0.0008) or to a triad of glycoproteins believed to represent the major targets of natural antibodies in porcine to primate xenografts (P = 0.001); correlation was also observed with the total concentration of IgM (P = 0.0046). The release of heparan sulfate did not correlate with corresponding properties of serum IgG, with anti-swine hemagglutination or with isohemagglutination titers. Heparan sulfate release correlated with deposition on endothelial cells of iC3b (P = 0.0095), but not with serum complement activity. Our findings indicate that in the reaction between human serum and xenogeneic endothelial cells, it is the concentration of xenoreactive IgM and not differences in complement activity that limits the ensuing pathophysiologic events. 相似文献
