KIR及苴HLA配体与肾移植急性排斥反应的关系

目的 探讨供受者对杀伤细胞免疫球蛋白样受体(KIR)及其人类白细胞抗原(HLA)配体所介导信号传导通路在肾移植受者术后发生急性排斥反应(AR)中可能的作用.方法 回顾性分析53对肾移植供受者对HLA和KIR基因型,受者按照术后肾功能状态分为急性排斥组(n=19)和肾功能稳定组(n=34),探讨供者HLA、受者KIR基因型以及受者KIR/供者HLA配体组合型与肾移植急性排斥反应发生的相关性.结果 供者HLA、受者KIR基因表现型频率在急排组和稳定组的分布:供者HLA基因型HLA-CI/2、HLA-A3、HLA-A11、HLA-Bw4在两组间分布无显著统计学差异(P>0.05).受者KIR2DL2/2DS2在急排组表达低于稳定组(26.3% vs 55.9%,P=0.038),受者KIR基因组合型AA类型在急排组表达低于稳定组(31.6% vs 67.6%,P=0.011).供者HLA-Cw、受者KIR基因组合型术后急性排斥反应发生率:供者HLA-C1/C1类型低于非HLA-C1/C1类型(31.6% vs 46.7%,P>0.05).受者KIR基因组合型AA类型低于非AA类型(20.7% vs 52.2%.P=0.011).受者KIR/供者HLA配体组合型匹配情况:肾功能稳定组中KIR2DL2/HLA-C1和KIR2DL2/HLA-C1信号匹配率较急性排斥组高(P=0.030,P=0.028).结论特定的KIR/HLA配体组合型(如KIR2DL2/HLA-C1、KIR2DL2/HLA-C1)可以降低肾移植术后急性排斥反应的发生率.良好的供者HLA和受者KIR配型选择有利于同种异体肾移植的预后.

KIR/HLA ligand matching and acute rejection after kidney transplantation

Objective To explore the effect of KIR/HLA ligand matching which mediates activated or inhibitory signal pathways on acute rejection (AR) after kidney transplantation. Methods HLA and KIP, genotype assortments were analyzed in 53 donor/recipient pairs of kidney transplantation. The recipients were divided into AR group (GI, n=19) and stable renal function group (GII, n=34) based on the early graft function. The impact of donor HLA, recipient KIR and distinct KIR/HLA class I ligand combinations on acute rejection after kidney transplantation was studied. Results No significant differences were found in donor HLA-C1/2, HLA-A3, HLA-A11, or HLA-Bw4 between GI and GII groups. The frequency for KIR2DL2/2DS2 and KIR genotype assortment (AA) of the recipients in GI group were significantly lower than that in GII group (26.3% vs 55.9%, P=0.038; 31.6% vs 67.6%, P=0.011). The incidence of AR was significantly lowerin donor HLA-C1/1 than in non-C1/1 (31.6% vs 46.7%,P>0.05), and lower in recipient KIR genotype assortment (AA) than in non-AA (20.7% vs 52.2%,P=0.011). A significant higher number of matches for the KIR2DL2/HLA-C1 and KIR2DL3/HLA-C1 were observed in GII group (P=0.030, P=0.028). Conclusion Distinct KIR/HLA class I ligand combinations between the donor and recipient (such as KIR2DL2/HLA-C1 and KIR2DL3/HLA-C1) may reduce the incidence of AR. A good KIR/HLA class 1 ligand matching will benefit the survival of the renal aliograft.
