目的 总结肾移植后使用不同免疫抑制方案的效果和不良反应,以提高人/肾的长期存活率.方法 对单中心3102例肾移植受者的临床资料进行回顾性分析,所采用的免疫抑制方案有环孢素A(CsA)+硫唑嘌呤(Aza)+泼尼松(Pred)、低剂量CsA+吗替麦考酚酯(MMF)+Pred、低剂量他克莫司(Tac)+MMF+Pred、低剂量CsA(或Tac)+西罗莫司(SRL)+Pred等方案,分析各方案的效果和不良反应.结果 低剂量CsA+MMF+Pred方案的人/肾1、5、10年存活率均高于CsA+Aza+Pred方案,而高血压、震颤、高尿酸、肝肾毒性、白细胞下降等的发生率显著低于CsA+Aza+Pred方案(P＜0.05),腹泻发生率显著高于CsA+Aza+Pred方案(P＜0.05).低剂量Tac+MMF+Pred方案的高血糖发生率显著高于低剂量CsA+MMF+Pred方案(P＜0.05),多毛症发生率显著低于低剂量CsA+MMF+Pred方案(P＜0.05);低剂量CsA(或Tac)+SRL+Pred方案的腹泻、高尿酸血症、肝肾毒性和多毛症等的发生率显著低于低剂量CsA(或Tac)+MMF+Pred方案(P＜0.05),但高血脂发生率显著高于后者(P＜0.05).以低剂量Tac为基础的方案者高血糖发生率显著应用低剂量CsA者.结论 低剂量CsA(或Tac)+MMF+Pred方案改善了肾移植受者和移植肾的存活,降低了不良反应发生率,尤以低剂量Tac+MMF+Pred方案为优;调整免疫抑制方案或剂量,改善饮食习惯,加强锻炼,优化降血压、降血脂、控制血糖的治疗措施对预防和控制不良反应尤为重要.

Abstract：

Objective To summarize the incidence and treatment experience of the effectiveness and adverse reactions of the different immunosuppressive protocols and to increase the long-term survival rate in kidney recipients. Methods Single-center retrospective analysis was performed on 3102 cases of kidney transplant recipients in effectiveness and adverse reactions of different immunosuppressive protocols. The immunosuppressive protocols were as follows: CsA + Aza + Pred,low dose CsA + MMF + Pred, low dose Tac + MMF + Pred, low dose CsA + SRL + Pred, and low dose Tac+ SRL+ Pred. Results The 1-, 5-, 10-year survival rate of patients/kidney in low dose CsA + MMF + Pred protocol was higher than that in CsA + Aza + Pred protocol. The incidence of adverse reactions, such as hypertension, hyperuricemia, kidney and liver toxicity, and leukopenia was significantly lower, but the incidence of diarrhea was significantly higher in CsA + MMF + Pred protocol than in CsA + Aza + Pred protocol (all P＜0. 01). The incidence of hyperglycemia was significantly higher (P＜0. 05), and that of hairy and gingival hyperplsia was significantly lower (P＜0. 05) in low dose Tac+ MMF+ Pred than in low dose CsA+ MMF+ Pred protocol. The incidence of hyperlipidemia in low dose CsA (or Tac)+ SRL + Pred was significantly higher than in CsA (or Tac)+ MMF+ Pred protocol (P＜0. 05). The incidence of hirsutism in low dose Tac + SRL + Pred was significantly lower than that in CsA + SRL + Pred protocol (P ＜ 0. 05). The incidence of hyperglycemia in low dose Tac + SRL + Pred was significantly higher than that in low dose CsA + SRL + Pred protocol. Conclusion The triple drug protocol with a low dose of CsA (or Tac)+ MMF+ Pred significantly improved the survival of renal transplant recipients and graft, and reduced the incidence of adverse reactions, especially Tae + MMF + Pred protocol. Adjustment of the immunosuppressant dosage and protocol, improvement of eating habits, exercise, reduction of blood pressure, reduction of blood lipid, and control of blood glucose were particularly important in preventing and controlling adverse reactions during kidney transplantation.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the effect of conversion from cyclosporine A (CsA) to tacrolimus (Tac) on chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN). Methods 153 CAN patients undergoing kidney transplantation received CsA, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and prednisone (CsA-MMF-Pred) regimen after kidney transplantation, and divided into 2 groups according to whether CsA were maintained in the immunosuppressive regimen: CsA + MMF + Pred group (CsA group, n = 45); Tac + MMF + Pred group (Tac group, n = 108). The patients were followed up with patient/kidney survival rate, acute rejection incidence, renal function, 24-h proteinuria and adverse events of immunosuppressive drugs for 12 months. Results Compared with CsA group, the transplanted kidney survival rate was significantly higher in Tac group (93. 5 % vs 86.6 %, P＜0. 05). Acute rejection (AR) was diagnosed in 4. 4 % (2/45) of recipients in CsA group and 3. 7 % (4/108) in Tac group (P＞0. 05) respectively. Acute rejection (2 cases in CsA group and 4 in Tac group) was reversed by 500 mg of methylprednisolone for consecutive 3 days, and the patients in Tac group showed a significantly lower degree of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA) (P＜0. 05).Renal allograft functions and 24-h proteinuria during a follow-up period of 12 months were significantly improved in Tac group (P ＜ 0. 05). Incidence of mild hyperglycemia in Tac Group (13.8 %, 15/108) was significantly higher than in CsA group (4.4 %, 2/45), and that of hypertension in Tac group (22. 2 %, 24/108) was significantly lower than in CsA group (55.6 %,25/45). CsA-related side effects (such as hirsutism and gingival hypertrophy) in 17 patients were greatly improved after conversion from CsA to Tac treatment. Conclusion The conversion from CsA to Tac on the patients with CAN can improve renal allograft function, retard the progression of renal allograft dysfunction, reduce the incidence of CsA-related side effects and not generate serious adverse effects of Tac.     

Tacrolimus versus cyclosporine after lung transplantation: a prospective, open, randomized two-center trial comparing two different immunosuppressive protocols.

BACKGROUND: The need for better immunosuppressive protocols after lung transplantation led us to investigate tacrolimus (Tac) in combination with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and steroids or cyclosporine (CsA) in combination with MMF and steroids in a prospective, open, randomized trial after lung transplantation. METHODS: Between September 1997 and April 1999, 50 lung transplant recipients were randomized to receive either Tac (n = 26) or CsA (n = 24) in combination with MMF and steroids. All patients underwent induction therapy with rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG) for 3 days. Freedom from acute rejection (AR), patient survival, infection episodes, and side effects were monitored. RESULTS: There was no difference in patient demographics between the two groups. Six-month and 1-year survival was similar (84.6% and 73.1% in the Tac group vs 83.3% and 79.2% in the CsA group). Freedom from AR at 6 months and 1 year after lung transplantation was slightly higher in the Tac group (57.7% and 50% vs 45.8% and 33.3%, p = not significant [n.s.]), whereas the number of treated rejection episodes per 100 patient days in the Tac group was significantly lower (0.225 vs 0.426, p < .05). Four patients in the CsA group had to be switched to Tac. Two patients in the CsA group had to be retransplanted. Incidence of infections was similar in both groups with a trend toward more fungal infections in the Tac group (n = 7 vs n = 1, p = n.s.). CONCLUSIONS: The combination of Tac and MMF seems to have slightly higher immunosuppressive potential compared with CsA and MMF. The effectiveness of Tac as a rescue agent is not paralleled with undue signs of overimmunosuppression.     

Optimization of the immunosuppressive protocol after lung transplantation.

BACKGROUND: The successful use of tacrolimus (Tac)-based immunosuppressive therapy in organ transplantation and our own positive experience in heart transplantation led us to investigate regimens including this agent at our center for lung transplantation. METHODS: From 1991 to 1998, 86 patients underwent lung transplants at our center and 78 of them were included in this analysis. The first 34 patients were treated with cyclosporin (CsA), azathioprine (Aza), and rabbit antilymphocyte globulin; the subsequent 30 patients received Tac with Aza, and the most recent 12 patients Tac with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). In addition, all patients received prednisone. RESULTS: The number of acute rejection episodes per 100 patient days was 1.5, 0.6, and 0.3 for three treatment groups, respectively. Similarly, the incidence of refractory acute rejection per 100 patient days was lower in both Tac groups (0.20, 0.03, and 0, respectively). Freedom from acute rejection was highest in the Tac-MMF group (P=0.0037 vs. Tac/Aza, P=0.0007 vs. CsA/Aza). Freedom from recurrent acute rejection was significantly higher in both Tac groups (P=0.027 Tac/ Aza vs. CsA/Aza and P=0.025 Tac/MMF vs. CsA/Aza). The incidence of infections per 100 patient days was similar (0.8, 0.5, and 0.8) in all three treatment groups, with a similar distribution of fungal, bacterial, and viral infections. Freedom from infection also showed no difference. The survival rate was significantly higher for the Tac population, with actuarial 1- and 3-year survival rates of 93% and 71%, compared with the CsA group (71% and 51%, respectively, P=0.04). Prevalence of renal dysfunction (creatinine >2.0 mg/ dL) was 18%, 13%, and 0% in the 3 treatment groups, respectively. The development of glucose metabolism disorders was lower in the CsA group than in the Tac-Aza group (15% vs. 27%, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Tac-based immunosuppressive therapy results in a lower rate of acute rejection after pulmonary transplantation, with similar infection rates and a slightly higher incidence of new onset diabetes mellitus compared with CsA-based therapy.

目的 探讨根据供者骨髓源性树突状细胞(DC)介导肾移植受者淋巴细胞反应指导肾移植术后免疫抑制剂个体化应用的价值。方法 2008年1月至2010年1月间接受亲属活体供肾移植者30例,根据药物剂量调整依据的不同分为试验组和对照组,每组各15例,免疫抑制方案同为他克莫司(Tac)+吗替麦考酚酯(MMF)+皮质激素。试验组术后根据受者淋巴细胞对供者DC的反应强度,结合血Tac、MMF浓度调整药物剂量;对照组术后仅根据血药浓度调整药物剂量。术后每月检查肝功能、肾功能、血常规、尿常规、血糖,随访时间为1年。结果 随访期内试验组急性排斥反应的发生率为13.3％,对照组为46.7％(P＜0.05);试验组和对照组的感染发生率分别为6.7％和40.0％(P＜0.05);试验组和对照组不良反应的总体发生率分别为13.3％和46.7％(P＜0.05)。两组各时间点的血清肌酐的差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05)。结论 利用供者骨髓源性DC介导肾移植受者淋巴细胞反应结合治疗药物血药浓度监测作为免疫监测指标,指导肾移植术后免疫抑制剂个体化应用,较仅利用血药浓度监测更全面、准确。     

C4d deposition is associated with chronic allograft nephropathy in rats and could be influenced by immunosuppressants

Aims

Deposition of C4d in peritubular capillaries (PTC) has been considered to be a marker of humoral immunity in renal transplant. This study is to investigate C4d deposition in rat renal allografts undergoing CAN and the effects of immunosuppressants on it.

Methods

Fisher 344 rat renal grafts were orthotopically transplanted into Lewis rats following the procedure of Kamada with our modification. All the recipients were given CsA 10 mg/kg⁻¹ · d⁻¹ × 10 d and then divided into 5 groups (each n = 9); (1) Vehicle: vehicle orally, (2) CsA: 6 mg/kg⁻¹ · d⁻¹, (3) RAPA: 0.8 mg/kg⁻¹ · d⁻¹, (4) FK 506: 0.15 mg/kg⁻¹ · d⁻¹, (5) MMF: 20 mg/ kg⁻¹ · d⁻¹. At 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, the rats were sacrificed, renal allografts were harvested and sera were collected. The deposition of C4d was detected by immunofluorescence and analyzed by Integrated Optical Density (IOD). The pathological changes were accessed according to the Banff 97 criteria.

Results

C4d deposition in PTC was found in all the allografts at 4 weeks, while there was no obvious manifestations of CAN in all the groups; the differences of Banff Score between all groups were not significant (P > .05). The values of IOD in RAPA and MMF group were lower than those in other 3 groups (P = .002, .006). The differences between RAPA and MMF, and between other 3 groups were not significant (P > .05). The intensity of C4d increased along with the progression of CAN, the heaviest C4d deposits in PTC were found at 12 weeks, and meanwhile the severest CAN was found. Comparing with Vehicle group, CsA and FK 506 had no effect on C4d deposition (P > .05), however, MMF and RAPA obviously decreased the C4d deposition (P = .000). The intensity of C4d deposition had a significant correlation with the severity of CAN (r = 0.894, P = .000).

Conclusions

Our study suggests that the deposition of C4d in allografts appears earlier than pathological changes of CAN and has a correlation with the progression of CAN. MMF and RAPA can attenuate CAN by inhibiting humoral immunity. In contrast, CsA and FK 506 have no effect on humoral immunity.     

曲尼司特对环孢素A诱导的人肾小管上皮细胞向间充质转变的抑制作用

目的 研究曲尼司特(Tran)对环孢素A(CsA)诱导的人肾小管上皮细胞(HK-2)向间充质转变的影响,并探讨该药抗纤维化的机制.方法 所有用于实验的HK-2细胞株均为8～12代细胞,分为4组:(1)空白对照组,收获细胞,不做任何处理;(2)CsA组,加入4.2μmol/LCsA;(3)CsA+Tran组,预先加入100μmol/L Tran,作用2 h后再加入4.2 μmol/L CsA;(4)Tran组,仅加入100μmol/L Tran.72 h后于共聚焦显微镜下观察各组细胞形态学变化;用免疫荧光法以及免疫印迹法检测各组钙黏蛋白(E-cadherin)、平滑肌肌动蛋白α(α-SMA)和骨桥蛋白(OPN)的表达.结果 HK-2细胞在正常情况下表现为典型的"鹅卵石"样形态,细胞圆钝,且与邻近的细胞连接较为紧密;空白对照组和Tran组细胞表现为典型的HK-2细胞形态;CsA组细胞变狭长,甚至向周边伸出"伪足"样改变,细胞间连接较为稀疏;CsA+Tran组的细胞形态学改变有明显改善.CsA组细胞E-cadherin荧光表达强度明显弱于对照组,α-SMA、OPN荧光表达强于对照组;CsA+Tran组细胞E-cadherin荧光表达强于CsA组,α-SMA、OPN荧光表达弱于CsA组.免疫印迹检查中,CsA组细胞E-cadherin 的表达明显低于对照组,而α-SMA、OPN的表达明显高于对照组,CsA+Tran组细胞E-cadherin的表达高于CsA组,而α-SMA、OPN的表达低于CsA组.结论 曲尼司特能抑制CsA诱导的HK-2细胞由肾小管上皮向间充质细胞转化的过程,其机制可能与抑制OPN的表达有关.

Abstract：

Objective To study the effect of tranilast on cyclosporine A (CsA)-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in human renal tubular epithelial cells, and investigate the mechanism of its antifibrotic effect. Methods Cultured HK-2 cells were divided into four groups: (1)In the control group, cells were treated without any medicine; (2) The cell were treated with CsA (4. 2μmol/L) for 72 h; (3) The cells were treated with a combination of CsA (4. 2 μmol/L) and tranilast (100μmol/L); (4) The cells were treated with tranilast (100 μmol/L) alone for 72 h.Morphological changes of the cells were assessed by phase-contrast microscopy. The immunofluorescence and Western blotting were adopted to detect the expression of E-cadherin, α-SMA and OPN mRNA and proteins respectively. Results Tranilast could markedly ameliorate the morphological changes of HK-2 cells stimulated by CsA. The irmmunofluorescence staining revealed the expression of E-cadherin was markedly decreased in HK-2 cells stimulated with CsA for 72 as compared with the control group, while the expression of α-SMA and OPN was significantly higher in CsA group than the control group. The expression of E-cadherin in the CsA + Tranilast group was higher than the CsA group, while the expression of α-SMA and OPN in the CsA + Tranilast group was lower than the CsA group. Western blotting showed that protein expression level of E-cadherin in CsA group was dramatically lower than that in the control group (P＜0. 05), while that of α-SMA and OPN in CsA group was significantly higher than in the control group (P＜0.05). The protein expression level of E-cadherin in HK-2 cells in the CsA + Tranilast group was markedly higher than in the CsA group (P＜0.05), and that of α-SMA and OPN in CsA + Tranilast group was significantly lower than in the CsA group (P＜0. 05). Conclusion Tranilast can block the CsA-induced epithelialto-mesenchymal transition in HK-2 cells probably by suppressing the expression of OPN.
