Normothermic Machine Perfusion Reduces Transfusion Requirements Even After Static Cold Storage: A 1 y Retrospective Single-center Analysis. Transplant Direct 2024; 10:e1628. [PMID: 38757047 PMCID: PMC11098234 DOI: 10.1097/txd.0000000000001628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of liver grafts has been shown to reduce intraoperative catecholamine consumption and the need for allogenic blood products after reperfusion compared with organs undergoing classical static cold storage (SCS). This study aimed to investigate the effects of an NMP phase after SCS (NMP after SCS) of liver grafts in terms of postreperfusion hemodynamics and transfusion requirements. Methods Eighteen recipients of NMP after SCS grafts were matched according to recipient age, donor age, and model for end-stage liver disease score in a 1:2 ratio with recipients of an SCS graft. Postreperfusion hemodynamics and the need for catecholamines, blood products, and clotting factors were compared. Results After reperfusion of the organ, patients in the NMP after SCS group showed significantly reduced transfusion requirements for packed red blood cells and platelet concentrates compared with patients of the SCS group (P < 0.001 and P = 0.018, respectively). In addition, patients in the NMP after SCS group received less fibrinogen concentrate (NMP after SCS group 0 [0-1.5] g versus SCS group 2 [0-4] g; P = 0.0163). No differences in postreperfusion hemodynamics could be detected between groups. Conclusions This retrospective analysis shows that NMP reduces postreperfusion requirements of red blood cells, platelet concentrates, and fibrinogen concentrate even if installed after a phase of organ SCS, because it may be practiced on most centers where NMP is available.

Abstract
Organ transplantation has enhanced the length and quality of life of patients suffering from life-threatening organ failure. Donors deceased after brain death (DBDDs) have been a primary source of organs for transplantation for a long time, but the need to find new strategies to face organ shortages has led to the broadening of the criteria for selecting DBDDs and advancing utilization of donors deceased after circulatory death. These new sources of organs come with an elevated risk of procuring organs of suboptimal quality. Whatever the source of organs for transplant, one constant issue is the occurrence of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. The latter results from the variation of oxygen supply during the sequence of ischemia and reperfusion, from organ procurement to the restoration of blood circulation, triggering many deleterious interdependent processes involving biochemical, immune, vascular and coagulation systems. In this review, we focus on the roles of thrombo-inflammation and coagulation as part of IR injury, and we give an overview of the state of the art and perspectives on anticoagulant therapies in the field of transplantation, discussing benefits and risks and proposing a strategic guide to their use during transplantation procedures.

Deficiency of neutrophil high-mobility group box-1 in liver transplant recipients exacerbates early allograft injury in mice. Hepatology 2023; 78:771-786.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) is a severe event leading to graft failure after liver transplant (LT). Extracellular high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a damage-associated molecular pattern that contributes to hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). However, the contribution of intracellular HMGB1 to LT graft injury remains elusive. We hypothesized that intracellular neutrophil-derived HMGB1 from recipients protects from post-LT EAD. APPROACH AND RESULTS We generated mice with conditional ablation or overexpression of Hmgb1 in hepatocytes, myeloid cells, or both. We performed LTs and injected lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to evaluate the effect of intracellular HMGB1 in EAD. Ablation of Hmgb1 in hepatocytes and myeloid cells of donors and recipients exacerbated early allograft injury after LT. Ablation of Hmgb1 from liver grafts did not affect graft injury; however, lack of Hmgb1 from recipient myeloid cells increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation in liver grafts and exacerbated injury. Neutrophils lacking HMGB1 were more activated, showed enhanced pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory signatures, and reduced biosynthesis and metabolism of inositol polyphosphates (InsPs). On LT reperfusion or LPS treatment, there was significant neutrophil mobilization and infiltration into the liver and enhanced production of ROS and pro-inflammatory cytokines when intracellular Hmgb1 was absent. Depletion of neutrophils using anti-Ly6G antibody attenuated graft injury in recipients with myeloid cell Hmgb1 ablation. CONCLUSIONS Neutrophil HMGB1 derived from recipients is central to regulate their activation, limits the production of ROS and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and protects from early liver allograft injury.

Intravenous Polyethylene Glycol Alleviates Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in a Rodent Model. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:10775.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common clinical entity, and its outcome is unpredictable due to the triad of inflammation, increased permeability and bacterial translocation. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound that is extensively used in pharmacology as an excipient in various products. More recently, this class of products have shown to have potent anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, immunosuppressive and cell-membrane-stabilizing properties. However, its effects on the outcome after intestinal IRI have not yet been investigated. We hypothesized that PEG administration would reduce the effects of intestinal IRI in rodents. In a previously described rat model of severe IRI (45 min of ischemia followed by 60 min of reperfusion), we evaluated the effect of IV PEG administration at different doses (50 and 100 mg/kg) before and after the onset of ischemia. In comparison to control animals, PEG administration stabilized the endothelial glycocalyx, leading to reduced reperfusion edema, bacterial translocation and inflammatory reaction as well as improved 7-day survival. These effects were seen both in a pretreatment and in a treatment setting. The fact that this product is readily available and safe should encourage further clinical investigations in settings of intestinal IRI, organ preservation and transplantation.

Abstract
Syndecan-1 (SDC-1), known as a coreceptor of various growth factors or an integrin binding partner, regulates various cell behaviours. Under certain pathological conditions, SDC-1 is shed from the cell surface and plays a protective or pathogenic role in various diseases. In the liver, SDC-1 is highly expressed in hepatocytes, where it is localized on the basolateral surface. It is critical to the cellular and molecular functions of hepatocytes, including their attachment to hepatitis viruses. Previous studies have reported that SDC-1 may function as a novel and promising diagnostic and therapeutic marker for various liver diseases, such as drug-induced liver injury, liver fibrosis, and liver cancer. In this review, we summarize related research and highlight the mechanisms by which SDC-1 participates in the pathogenesis of liver diseases, as well as its potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This review is expected to lay the foundation for further therapeutic strategies to target SDC-1 in liver diseases.

Abstract
Pretreating porcine kidneys with Corline Heparin Conjugate (CHC) during hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has been shown to reduce preservation injury and improve early kidney function. In this first-in-human phase I study, the safety and tolerability of transplanting CHC-pretreated kidneys were evaluated. Methods CHC or placebo was added to the preservation solution during HMP of donated kidneys from deceased donors for at least 3 h before transplantation into adult patients. The primary safety endpoint was the number and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) during the first 30 d after transplantation. Results In the first 30 d, 66 AEs were reported in 8 patients who received CHC-pretreated kidneys with 39 AEs in 8 patients who received placebo-pretreated kidneys (P = 0.1 in post hoc analysis). The most common AEs were hypertension (CHC, n = 5; placebo, n = 2) and anemia (CHC, n = 5; placebo, n = 2). Most AEs were assessed as mild (58%) or moderate (39%) and not related to treatment (95%). There were 2 SAEs reported in each group. One SAE, considered possibly related to CHC treatment, was a case of severe postprocedural hemorrhage that required reoperation. No patients needed dialysis. There were no observed rejections and no patient deaths. Conclusions Pretreatment of kidneys with CHC before transplantation was considered safe and tolerable. Efficacy studies are now planned to investigate if CHC can reduce early ischemia-reperfusion injury in humans.

Shedding of the Endothelial Glycocalyx Independent of Systemic Tryptase Release during Oncologic Oral Surgery: An Observational Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195797.

Abstract
The endothelial glycocalyx and endothelial surface layer are crucial for several functions of the vasculature. Damage to the glycocalyx (“shedding”) occurs during diverse clinical conditions, including major surgery. Mast cell tryptase has been proposed as one possible “sheddase”. During oncologic oral surgery, glycocalyx shedding could be detrimental due to loss of vascular barrier function and consequent oedema in the musculocutaneous flap graft. Concentrations of the glycocalyx components heparan sulphate and syndecan-1, as well as of tryptase in blood serum before and after surgery, were measured in 16 patients undergoing oncologic oral surgery. Secondary measures were the concentrations of these substances on postoperative days 1 and 2. Heparan sulphate rose from 692 (median, interquartile range: 535–845) to 810 (638–963) ng/mL during surgery. Syndecan-1 increased from 35 (22–77) ng/mL to 138 (71–192) ng/mL. Tryptase remained virtually unchanged with 4.2 (3–5.6) before and 4.2 (2.5–5.5) ng/mL after surgery. Concentrations of heparan sulphate and syndecan-1 in serum increased during surgery, indicating glycocalyx shedding. Tryptase concentration remained equal, suggesting other sheddases than systemic tryptase release to be responsible for damage to the glycocalyx. Investigating strategies to protect the glycocalyx during oncologic oral surgery might hold potential to improve flap viability and patient outcome.

Liver Graft Hypothermic Static and Oxygenated Perfusion (HOPE) Strategies: A Mitochondrial Crossroads. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23105742.

Abstract
Marginal liver grafts, such as steatotic livers and those from cardiac death donors, are highly vulnerable to ischemia–reperfusion injury that occurs in the complex route of the graft from “harvest to revascularization”. Recently, several preservation methods have been developed to preserve liver grafts based on hypothermic static preservation and hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) strategies, either combined or alone. However, their effects on mitochondrial functions and their relevance have not yet been fully investigated, especially if different preservation solutions/effluents are used. Ischemic liver graft damage is caused by oxygen deprivation conditions during cold storage that provoke alterations in mitochondrial integrity and function and energy metabolism breakdown. This review deals with the relevance of mitochondrial machinery in cold static preservation and how the mitochondrial respiration function through the accumulation of succinate at the end of cold ischemia is modulated by different preservation solutions such as IGL-2, HTK, and UW (gold-standard reference). IGL-2 increases mitochondrial integrity and function (ALDH2) when compared to UW and HTK. This mitochondrial protection by IGL-2 also extends to protective HOPE strategies when used as an effluent instead of Belzer MP. The transient oxygenation in HOPE sustains the mitochondrial machinery at basal levels and prevents, in part, the accumulation of energy metabolites such as succinate in contrast to those that occur in cold static preservation conditions. Additionally, several additives for combating oxygen deprivation and graft energy metabolism breakdown during hypothermic static preservation such as oxygen carriers, ozone, AMPK inducers, and mitochondrial UCP2 inhibitors, and whether they are or not to be combined with HOPE, are presented and discussed. Finally, we affirm that IGL-2 solution is suitable for protecting graft mitochondrial machinery and simplifying the complex logistics in clinical transplantation where traditional (static preservation) and innovative (HOPE) strategies may be combined. New mitochondrial markers are presented and discussed. The final goal is to take advantage of marginal livers to increase the pool of suitable organs and thereby shorten patient waiting lists at transplantation clinics.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a major hurdle in many clinical scenarios, including liver resection and transplantation. Various studies and countless surgical events have led to the observation of a strong correlation between HIRI induced by liver transplantation and early allograft-dysfunction development. The detrimental impact of HIRI has driven the pursuit of new ways to alleviate its adverse effects. At the core of HIRI lies mitochondrial dysfunction. Various studies, from both animal models and in clinical settings, have clearly shown that mitochondrial function is severely hampered by HIRI and that its preservation or restoration is a key indicator of successful organ recovery. Several strategies have been thus implemented throughout the years, targeting mitochondrial function. This work briefly discusses some the most utilized approaches, ranging from surgical practices to pharmacological interventions and highlights how novel strategies can be investigated and implemented by intricately discussing the way mitochondrial function is affected by HIRI.

Combination of arterial lactate levels and Cv-aCO2/Da-vO2 ratio to predict early allograft dysfunction after liver transplantation. Clin Transplant 2021; 35:e14482.

Abstract
PURPOSE We examined the ability of the P(v-a)CO2/Da-vO2 ratio combined with elevated lactate levels to predict early allograft dysfunction (EAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were classified into four groups according to lactate levels and P(v-a)CO2/Da-vO2 ratio: Group 1; lactate >2.0 mmol/L and P(v-a)CO2/Da-vO2 ratio >1.0; Group 2; lactate >2.0 mmol/L and P(v-a)CO2/Da-vO2 ratio <1.0; group 3; lactate<2.0 mmol/L and P(v-a)CO2/Da-vO2 ratio >1.0; group 4; lactate<2.0 mmol/L and P(v-a)CO2/Da-vO2 ratio <1.0. We defined EAD according to Olthoff criteria. RESULTS One-hundred and fifty patients were included. EAD occurred in 41 patients (27.3%), and was associated with worse graft survival at 1 year (92% vs. 73%; P = ,003) as well as a higher re-transplantation rate (4,6% vs. 17,1%; P = ,019). The multivariate analysis revealed that P(v-a)CO2/Da-vO2 ratio at T6 [OR 7.05(CI95% 2.77-19.01, P<.001)] was an independent predictor for EAD. Belonging to group 1 at 6 h was associated with worse clinical outcomes but no association was found with 1-year graft survival or 1-year patient survival. CONCLUSIONS In this single center, prospective, observational study in patients who received an OLT, we found that elevated lactate levels combined with a high Cv-aCO2/Da-vO2 after 6 h was associated with the development of EAD and worse clinical outcomes in the early postoperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of studies measuring breakdown products of the glycocalyx in plasma has increased rapidly during the past decade. The purpose of the present systematic review was to assess the current knowledge concerning the association between plasma concentrations of glycocalyx components and structural assessment of the endothelium. METHODS We performed a literature review of Pubmed to determine which glycocalyx components change in a wide variety of human diseases and conditions. We also searched for evidence of a relationship between plasma concentrations and the thickness of the endothelial glycocalyx layer as obtained by imaging methods. RESULTS Out of 3,454 publications, we identified 228 that met our inclusion criteria. The vast majority demonstrate an increase in plasma glycocalyx products. Sepsis and trauma are most frequently studied, and comprise approximately 40 publications. They usually report 3-4-foldt increased levels of glycocalyx degradation products, most commonly of syndecan-1. Surgery shows a variable picture. Cardiac surgery and transplantations are most likely to involve elevations of glycocalyx degradation products. Structural assessment using imaging methods show thinning of the endothelial glycocalyx layer in cardiovascular conditions and during major surgery, but thinning does not always correlate with the plasma concentrations of glycocalyx products. The few structural assessments performed do not currently support that capillary permeability is increased when the plasma levels of glycocalyx fragments in plasma are increased. CONCLUSIONS Shedding of glycocalyx components is a ubiquitous process that occurs during both acute and chronic inflammation with no sensitivity or specificity for a specific disease or condition.

The Endothelial Glycocalyx and Organ Preservation-From Physiology to Possible Clinical Implications for Solid Organ Transplantation. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22084019.

Abstract
The endothelial glycocalyx is a thin layer consisting of proteoglycans, glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans that lines the luminal side of vascular endothelial cells. It acts as a barrier and contributes to the maintenance of vascular homeostasis and microperfusion. During solid organ transplantation, the endothelial glycocalyx of the graft is damaged as part of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (IRI), which is associated with impaired organ function. Although several substances are known to mitigate glycocalyx damage, it has not been possible to use these substances during graft storage on ice. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) emerges as an alternative technology for organ preservation and allows for organ evaluation, but also offers the possibility to treat and thus improve organ quality during storage. This review highlights the current knowledge on glycocalyx injury during organ transplantation, presents ways to protect the endothelial glycocalyx and discusses potential glycocalyx protection strategies during normothermic machine perfusion.

The Endothelial Glycocalyx as a Target of Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury in Kidney Transplantation-Where Have We Gone So Far? Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22042157.

Abstract
The damage of the endothelial glycocalyx as a consequence of ischemia and/or reperfusion injury (IRI) following kidney transplantation has come at the spotlight of research due to potential associations with delayed graft function, acute rejection as well as long-term allograft dysfunction. The disintegration of the endothelial glycocalyx induced by IRI is the crucial event which exposes the denuded endothelial cells to further inflammatory and oxidative damage. The aim of our review is to present the currently available data regarding complex links between shedding of the glycocalyx components, like syndecan-1, hyaluronan, heparan sulphate, and CD44 with the activation of intricate immune system responses, including toll-like receptors, cytokines and pro-inflammatory transcription factors. Evidence on modes of protection of the endothelial glycocalyx and subsequently maintenance of endothelial permeability as well as novel nephroprotective molecules such as sphingosine-1 phosphate (S1P), are also depicted. Although advances in technology are making the visualization and the analysis of the endothelial glycocalyx possible, currently available evidence is mostly experimental. Ongoing progress in understanding the complex impact of IRI on the endothelial glycocalyx, opens up a new era of research in the field of organ transplantation and clinical studies are of utmost importance for the future.

Abstract
Organ transplantation is a multifactorial process in which proper graft preservation is a mandatory step for the success of the transplantation. Hypothermic preservation of abdominal organs is mostly based on the use of several commercial solutions, including UW, Celsior, HTK and IGL-1. The presence of the oncotic agents HES (in UW) and PEG35 (in IGL-1) characterize both solution compositions, while HTK and Celsior do not contain any type of oncotic agent. Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are non-immunogenic, non-toxic and water-soluble polymers, which present a combination of properties of particular interest in the clinical context of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI): they limit edema and nitric oxide induction and modulate immunogenicity. Besides static cold storage (SCS), there are other strategies to preserve the organ, such as the use of machine perfusion (MP) in dynamic preservation strategies, which increase graft function and survival as compared to the conventional static hypothermic preservation. Here we report some considerations about using PEG35 as a component of perfusates for MP strategies (such as hypothermic oxygenated perfusion, HOPE) and its benefits for liver graft preservation. Improved liver preservation is closely related to mitochondria integrity, making this organelle a good target to increase graft viability, especially in marginal organs (e.g., steatotic livers). The final goal is to increase the pool of suitable organs, and thereby shorten patient waiting lists, a crucial problem in liver transplantation.
