Arteriosclerosis Decreases Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand Expression on Liver Natural Killer Cells in Living Donor Liver Transplantation. Transplant Proc 2023:S0041-1345(23)00235-X. [PMID: 37095010 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2023.03.066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is critical for natural killer (NK) cell-mediated anti-tumor and anti-microbe killing. The TRAIL expression on the donor's liver NK cells from the liver perfusate after interleukin-2 stimulation varies between individuals and is unpredictable. This study aimed to clarify the risk factors for low TRAIL expression by analyzing perioperative donor characteristics. METHODS This retrospective study of living donor liver transplant (LDLT) donors between 2006 and 2022 was performed to analyze low TRAIL expression risk factors. Seventy-five donors who had undergone hepatectomy for LDLT were divided into 2 groups, low and high TRAIL, according to their TRAIL expression on liver NK cells, using median values. RESULTS The low TRAIL group (N = 38) was older and had lower nutrition and a higher low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein (LDL/HDL) cholesterol ratio, related to arteriosclerosis, than the high TRAIL group (N = 37). In multivariate analysis, the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) (odds ratio, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76-0.94; P < .001) and LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio (odds ratio, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.10-4.86; P = .005) were independent predictive factors for low TRAIL expression on liver NK cells. Furthermore, the TRAIL expression of liver NK cells decreased in donors who already had atherosclerosis and in donors at risk of potentially developing atherosclerosis. CONCLUSIONS The TRAIL expression on liver NK cells in donors had a strong relationship with atherosclerosis and GNRI. Atherosclerosis can reflect the TRAIL expression on liver NK cells.

Abstract
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is not only a pineal hormone, but also an ubiquitary molecule present in plants and part of our diet. Numerous preclinical and some clinical reports pointed to its multiple beneficial effects including oncostatic properties, and as such, it has become one of the most aspiring goals in cancer prevention/therapy. A link between cancer and inflammation and/or metabolic disorders has been well established and the therapy of these conditions with so-called pleiotropic drugs, which include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, statins and peroral antidiabetics, modulates a cancer risk too. Adjuvant therapy with melatonin may improve the oncostatic potential of these drugs. Results from preclinical studies are limited though support this hypothesis, which, however, remains to be verified by further research.
