Verstraeten L, Den Abt R, Ghesquière B, Jochmans I. Current Insights into the Metabolome during Hypothermic Kidney Perfusion-A Scoping Review. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12113613. [PMID: 37297808 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12113613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
This scoping review summarizes what is known about kidney metabolism during hypothermic perfusion preservation. Papers studying kidney metabolism during hypothermic (<12 °C) perfusion were identified (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane). Out of 14,335 initially identified records, 52 were included [dog (26/52), rabbit (2/52), pig (20/52), human (7/52)]. These were published between 1970-2023, partially explaining study heterogeneity. There is a considerable risk of bias in the reported studies. Studies used different perfusates, oxygenation levels, kidney injury levels, and devices and reported on perfusate and tissue metabolites. In 11 papers, (non)radioactively labeled metabolites (tracers) were used to study metabolic pathways. Together these studies show that kidneys are metabolically active during hypothermic perfusion, regardless of the perfusion setting. Although tracers give us more insight into active metabolic pathways, kidney metabolism during hypothermic perfusion is incompletely understood. Metabolism is influenced by perfusate composition, oxygenation levels, and likely also by pre-existing ischemic injury. In the modern era, with increasing donations after circulatory death and the emergence of hypothermic oxygenated perfusion, the focus should be on understanding metabolic perturbations caused by pre-existing injury levels and the effect of perfusate oxygen levels. The use of tracers is indispensable to understanding the kidney's metabolism during perfusion, given the complexity of interactions between different metabolites.

Abstract
Static cold storage (SCS) and hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) are currently standard methods for renal grafts clinical preservation. Both methods are predominantly implemented without the active delivery of oxygen, even for donation after circulatory death-like kidneys. However, even under severe hypothermia (4°C-6°C), kidneys can consume oxygen and produce ATP. What is not established, though, is to what extent and how SCS and HMP compare in terms of oxygen. Using a porcine preclinical model of renal warm ischemia (WI) to compare SCS and HMP methods, we continuously monitored and quantified oxygen level and consumption along preservation; we also determined prepreservation and postpreservation cortical ATP level; values were given as median and [min; max] range. One-hour WI reduced ATP by ∼90% (from 3.3 [1.7; 4.5] mmol/L tissue in Controls). Oxygen consumption (QO2, μmol/min per 100 g) was determined from initial solution PO2 decrease (SCS and HMP) and from arterio-venous difference (HMP). In SCS and HMP, PO2 decreased rapidly (t1/2 ∼1 h) from atmospheric levels to 52.9 [38.0; 65.9] and 8.2 [3.0, 16.0] mmHg, respectively. In HMP, QO2 was 2.7 [0.4; 3.9] versus 0.5 [0.0; 1.3] in SCS (P < 0.05); postpreservation ATP amounted to 5.8 [3.2; 6.5] in HMP versus 0.1 [0.0; 0.2] in SCS. Despite hypothermic conditions in SCS or HMP, donation after circulatory death-like renal grafts require oxygen. Increased oxygen consumption, restored ATP level, and improved histological profile in HMP might explain the established HMP superiority over SCS. These results establish a rational basis for the use of oxygen in hypothermic preservation. Optimal levels required for preservation and graft-type variants remain to be determined.

Transplant Proc 2018; 49:1923-1929. [PMID: 28923649 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2017.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2017] [Revised: 04/29/2017] [Accepted: 05/13/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the potential mechanisms of hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP)'s beneficial effects on kidney graft over static cold storage (SCS) in vitro. METHODS Ten kidneys of 5 Bama miniature male pigs were paired into 2 groups: SCS group and HMP group. Preservation solutions were taken at 0, 1, 3, and 6 hours for the measurement of K+, Na+, Cl-, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) using the standard laboratory methods. Renal cortex were harvested at 6 hours for the following measurement: lactic acid (LD), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), malondialdehyde (MDA), neutrophil accumulation (MPO), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Ischemia-induced apoptosis and the protein expression levels of total Akt, phospho-Akt, total Erk, and phospho-Erk were analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS Almost all of the tested metabolites in preservation solutions were reduced with time in the HMP group. Levels of Na+, Cl-, BUN, Cr, K+, and LDH were lower in the HMP group compared with the SCS group, with differences in the first 4 reaching statistical significance. HMP alleviated ATP degradation and LD accumulation, diminished the MDA (P < .05) and MPO (P = .227) levels, and greatly raised IL-10 and TGF-β (P < .05) expression. A marked decrease of proapoptotic and a large increase of antiapoptotic markers (P < .05) along with greatly raised Akt (P < .05) and Erk (P < .01) phosphorylation was observed in the kidney of the HMP group compared with the SCS group. CONCLUSION HMP's kidney graft protection involves inhibition of accumulation of toxic metabolites, oxidative damage, and apoptosis along with upregulation of the Akt and Erk signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background The persisting organ shortage in the field of transplantation recommends the use of marginal kidneys which poorly tolerate ischemic damage. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion during cold ischemia time (CIT) is considered crucial for graft function. We tested different strategies of kidney perfusion before transplantation in the attempt to improve the technique. Material/Methods Twenty human discarded kidneys from donors after brain death and with at least 20 hours of CIT were randomized to the following experimental groups (treatment time three-hours at 4°C): a) static cold storage (CS); b) static cold hyperbaric oxygenation (Hyp); c) hypothermic perfusion (PE); d) hypothermic perfusion in hyperbaric oxygenation (PE-Hyp); and e) hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (PE-O2). Results Histological results showed that perfusion with or without oxygen did not produce any endothelial damage. A depletion of ATP content following the preservation procedure was observed in CS, PE, and Hyp, while PE-Hyp and PE-O2 were associated with a net increase of ATP content with respect to baseline level. In addition, PE-Hyp was associated with a significant downregulation of endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene expression and of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Conclusions Hyperbaric or normobaric oxygenation with perfusion improves organ metabolic preservation compared to other methods. This approach may prevent the onset of delayed graft function, but clinical trials are needed to confirm this.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury, known as a major trigger for organ fibrosis and independent predictor of chronic kidney disease, is characterized by mesangial cell proliferation, inflammation and unbalance between biosynthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix. Therapeutic approaches targeting the inhibition of mesangial cell proliferation and matrix expansion may represent a promising opportunity for the treatment of kidney injury. An ester of hyaluronic acid and butyric acid (HB) has shown vasculogenic and regenerative properties in renal ischemic-damaged tissues, resulting in enhanced function recovery and minor degree of inflammation in vivo. This study evaluated the effect of HB treatment in mesangial cell cultures exposed to H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Materials and methods Lactate dehydrogenase release and caspase-3 activation were measured using mesangial cells prepared from rat kidneys to assess necrosis and apoptosis. Akt and p38 phosphorylation was analyzed to identify the possible mechanism underlying cell response to HB treatment. The relative expressions of matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MPP-9) and collagen type 1 alpha genes were also analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell proliferation rate and viability were measured using thiazolyl blue assay and flow cytometry analysis of cell cycle with propidium iodide. Results HB treatment promoted apoptosis of mesangial cells after H2O2-induced damage, decreased cellular proliferation and activated p38 pathway, increasing expression of its target gene MPP-9. Conclusion This in vitro model shows that HB treatment seems to redirect mesangial cells toward apoptosis after oxidative damage and to reduce cell proliferation through p38 MAPK pathway activation and upregulation of MPP-9 gene expression involved in mesangial matrix remodeling.

Abstract
Background The rising number of patients on waiting lists for kidney transplant and the shortage of available organs has intensified efforts to increase the number of potential donors. Material/Methods This study investigated changes in clinical parameters among potential deceased donors in the 15-year period between 1999 and 2013 and their impact on transplantation procedure and outcomes. A total of 1634 potential deceased donors were examined and divided into 2 groups: 707 of them identified from 1999 to 2005 (Group A), and 927 from 2006 to 2013 (Group B). Results The comparison between the potential donors in Group A vs. Group B revealed an increase over time in donor age (54.6±17.2 vs. 58.8±16.3, p<0.001), a reduction in the percentage of standard donors (52.3% vs. 39.8%, p<0.001), a broader utilization of organs from expanded criteria donors, and a greater number of comorbidities, particularly cardiovascular disease and dyslipidemia. However, renal function parameters and the bioptic scores did not change significantly over the years. Conclusions These results suggest the usefulness of strategies to increase the number of potential donors suitable for organ donation, especially among elderly and marginal donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The two main options for renal allograft preservation are static cold storage (CS) and machine perfusion (MP). There has been considerably increased interest in MP preservation of kidneys, however conflicting evidence regarding its efficacy and associated costs have impacted its scale of clinical uptake. Additionally, there is no clear consensus regarding oxygenation, and hypo- or normothermia, in conjunction with MP, and its mechanisms of action are also debated. The primary aims of this article were to elucidate the benefits of MP preservation with and without oxygenation, and/or under normothermic conditions, when compared with CS prior to deceased donor kidney transplantation. METHODS Clinical (observational studies and prospective trials) and animal (experimental) articles exploring the use of renal MP were assessed (EMBASE, Medline, and Cochrane databases). Meta-analyses were conducted for the comparisons between hypothermic MP (hypothermic machine perfusion [HMP]) and CS (human studies) and normothermic MP (warm (normothermic) perfusion [WP]) compared with CS or HMP (animal studies). The primary outcome was allograft function. Secondary outcomes included graft and patient survival, acute rejection and parameters of tubular, glomerular and endothelial function. Subgroup analyses were conducted in expanded criteria (ECD) and donation after circulatory (DCD) death donors. RESULTS A total of 101 studies (63 human and 38 animal) were included. There was a lower rate of delayed graft function in recipients with HMP donor grafts compared with CS kidneys (RR 0.77; 95% CI 0.69-0.87). Primary nonfunction (PNF) was reduced in ECD kidneys preserved by HMP (RR 0.28; 95% CI 0.09-0.89). Renal function in animal studies was significantly better in WP kidneys compared with both HMP (standardized mean difference [SMD] of peak creatinine 1.66; 95% CI 3.19 to 0.14) and CS (SMD of peak creatinine 1.72; 95% CI 3.09 to 0.34). MP improves renal preservation through the better maintenance of tubular, glomerular, and endothelial function and integrity. CONCLUSIONS HMP improves short-term outcomes after renal transplantation, with a less clear effect in the longer-term. There is considerable room for modification of the process to assess whether superior outcomes can be achieved through oxygenation, perfusion fluid manipulation, and alteration of perfusion temperature. In particular, correlative experimental (animal) data provides strong support for more clinical trials investigating normothermic MP.

Abstract
Open surgical repair of an aortic aneurysm requires aortic cross-clamping, resulting in temporary ischemia of all organs and tissues supplied by the aorta distal to the clamp. Major complications of open aneurysm repair due to aortic cross-clamping include renal ischemia-reperfusion injury and postoperative colonic ischemia in case of supra- and infrarenal aortic aneurysm repair. Ischemia-reperfusion injury results in excessive production of reactive oxygen species and in oxidative stress, which can lead to multiple organ failure. Several perioperative protective strategies have been suggested to preserve renal function during aortic cross-clamping, such as pharmacotherapy and therapeutic hypothermia of the kidneys. In this chapter, we will briefly discuss the pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion injury and the preventative measures that can be taken to avoid abdominal organ injury. Finally, techniques to minimize the risk of complications during and after open aneurysm repair will be presented.

Levetiracetam Prevents Perforin Mediated Neuronal Injury Induced by Acute Cerebral Ischemia Reperfusion. Mol Neurobiol 2015; 53:5480-91. [PMID: 26454821 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-015-9467-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2015] [Accepted: 09/29/2015] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the neuroprotection mechanism of levetiracetam (LEV) with acute focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/P) mouse. The cerebral artery I/P animal model was prepared with a middle artery cerebral occlusion method. For drug intervention, mice were intraperitoneally injected with LEV with a dose of either 15 or 150 mg/kg. Neuronal injury was evaluated by measuring the infarct area, apoptosis ratio, and observation of blood-brain barrier ultrastructure with transmission electron microscope. CD8(+) antibody and perforin antibody were used to make cross-reference screen through flow cytometry to determine a perforin-positive rate in CD8(+) T lymphocytes (PFN + %). Injection of LEV can reduce infarct area, apoptosis ratio, and blood-brain barrier damage 24 h later after acute I/P in WT mice. In vitro, perforin can lower hippocampal neuron viability. In vivo, removing perforin can relieve neuronal injury. High dose injection of LEV (150 mg/kg) can inhibit perforin secreting from CD8(+)T lymphocytes. In addition, LEV can still protect neurons with perforin knockout mice. Therefore, our results suggested that LEV may contribute to neuron protection after cerebral ischemia reperfusion. The possible mechanism may be related with perforin release. However, we cannot roll out other mechanisms.

Abstract
Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) of kidneys is a long-established alternative to static cold storage and has been suggested to be a better preservation method. Today, as our deceased donor profile continues to change towards higher-risk kidneys of lower quality, we are confronted with the limits of cold storage. Interest in HMP as a preservation technique is on the rise. Furthermore, HMP also creates a window of opportunity during which to assess the viability and quality of the graft before transplantation. The technology might also provide a platform during which the graft could be actively repaired, making it particularly attractive for higher-risk kidneys. We review the current evidence on HMP in kidney transplantation and provide an outlook for the use of the technology in the years to come.

Donor/Recipient Delta Age: A Possible Risk for Arterial Stenosis in Renal Transplantation. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2015; 2015:512929.

Abstract
Different arterial wall properties can significantly increase the risk of blood turbulent fluxes leading to complications such as atherosclerosis. Since the mechanical properties of arterial vessels are influenced by age, we investigated, in a retrospective study, the effects on renal artery stenosis of an age difference >15 years between donor and recipient in a cohort of 164 patients undergoing renal transplantation between 1981 and 1991. The age difference between donor and recipient was ≤15 years in 87 patients (53.0%) (Group A) and >15 years in 77 patients (47.0%) (Group B, p = ns). None of the Group A patients developed an anastomotic arterial stenosis, whereas 8/77 Group B patients (10.4%) had an anastomotic arterial stenosis (p < 0.001). This study shows that an age difference >15 years is significantly linked to the risk of developing arterial stenosis after renal transplantation. Indeed, different wall properties can significantly increase the risk of generation of blood turbulent fluxes and involve, in the arterial vessels, the development of complications such as atherosclerosis.

Abstract
One of the main factors limiting potential uptake of pancreas transplantation, particularly in the United Kingdom, is the shortage of grafts. There has therefore been a recent expansion, particularly in the United Kingdom, in the utilization of grafts from donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors. These grafts are subjected to a greater ischemic insult and are arguably at higher risk of poor functional outcome. Although conventional preservation techniques may be adequate for donation after brain death (DBD) and low-risk DCD pancreases, as the number of DCD pancreas transplants increase and the threshold for rejecting organs decreases, the importance of optimal preservation techniques is going to increase. Over recent years, there have been significant advances in preservation techniques for DCD kidneys, improving the outcome of these marginal grafts. However, the use of such techniques for pancreas preservation is extremely limited and mainly historical. This overview describes the background and results of the established method of pancreas preservation for DBD, namely, cold static storage, and describes the use of the two-layer method. It also reviews pulsatile machine perfusion and normothermic perfusion for pancreas preservation techniques, which have shown promise in the preservation of DCD kidney grafts. The use of these techniques in pancreas preservation is predominantly historical but warrants reevaluation as to the feasibility of applying these techniques to DCD pancreas grafts not only for preservation but also for viability assessment. Further areas for development of pancreas preservation are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The shortage in organ supply has required the use of expanded criteria donors (ECD) for kidney transplantation. Current pre-transplant evaluations of ECD organs are based on histological, clinical or mixed criteria. This monocentric study investigates the predictivity of Karpinski's histological score on 3-year graft function in renal transplant. Ex-post classification using Nyberg's score was carried out to assess the reliability of a purely clinical score and its applicability for organ allocation. METHODS We evaluated 407 deceased donors (251 optimal and 156 ECD) for renal transplants performed between 2001 and 2006. The differences in creatinine levels and MDRD-GFR at transplant and 1, 2 and 3 years post-transplant between optimal donors and ECD were recorded. Amongst ECD organs, the effect of different Karpinski score classes (0-1, 2, 3, 4, double transplants) on 3-year graft outcomes was analyzed. We then compared renal function over time across the Nyberg grades (A, B, C, and D). RESULTS Karpinski scores 0-1 and 2 and double transplants were associated with improved graft function compared to scores 3 and 4. Nyberg's clinical score shows a good fit with medium-term outcome and Karpinski's score, but among the donors with a high Nyberg grade (C and D), it fails to differentiate between allocable or non-allocable organs (due to Karpinski's score ≥7). CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate a correlation of histological damage at the time of transplant with 3-year graft function, but at present we are unable to provide any supposition on the possible outcome of the discarded kidneys.

Detection of ATP by "in line" 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy during oxygenated hypothermic pulsatile perfusion of pigs' kidneys. MAGNETIC RESONANCE MATERIALS IN PHYSICS BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 2012; 25:391-9.

Abstract
OBJECT To demonstrate that adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides a valuable biomarker for kidney viability in the context of donation after cardiac death (DCD) transplantation, can be detected by means of (31)P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) if kidneys are perfused with oxygenated hypothermic pulsatile perfusion (O(2)+HPP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Porcine kidney perfusion was carried out using a home made, MR-compatible HPP-machine. Consequently, kidney perfusion could be performed continuously during magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy recording. (31)P MR spectroscopy consisted of 3-dimensional chemical shift imaging (CSI), which allowed for the detection of ATP level in line. (31)P CSI was performed at 3 tesla in 44 min with a nominal voxel size of 6.1 cc. RESULTS (31)P CSI enabled the detection of renal ATP when pO(2) was equal to 100 kPa. With pO(2) of 20 kPa, only phosphomonoester, inorganic phosphate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide could be found. Semi-quantitative analysis showed that ATP level was 1.3 mM in normal kidney perfused with pO(2) of 100 kPa. CONCLUSIONS This combined technology may constitute a new advance in DCD organ diagnostics prior to transplantation, as it allows direct assessment of ATP concentration, which provides a reliable indicator for organ bioenergetics and viability. In this study, kidneys presenting no warm ischemia were tested in order to establish values in normal organs. The test could be easily integrated into the clinical environment and would not generate any additional delay into the transplantation clinical workflow.

Abstract
Cold perfusion through the renal arteries during renal ischemia has been suggested to diminish postoperative renal damage after juxtarenal aortic aneurysm repair. As the kidneys play a key role in dimethylarginine metabolism, which in turn is associated with renal hemodynamics, we hypothesized that the protective effect of cold perfusion is associated with a preserved renal extraction of dimethylarginines. Renal ischemia was induced in three groups of anesthetized Wistar rats ( n = 7/group), which underwent suprarenal aortic clamping (45 min) with no perfusion ( group 1), renal perfusion with 37°C saline ( group 2), or renal perfusion with 4°C saline ( group 3), respectively, followed by 90 min of renal reperfusion in all groups. The sham group had no clamping. In group 3 (renal ischemia with cold perfusion), postoperative serum creatinine levels as well as the presence of luminal lipocalin-2 and its associated brush-border damage were lower compared with groups 1 and 2 ( P < 0.05). Also, renal extraction of asymmetrical (ADMA) and symmetrical (SDMA) dimethylarginine as well as the arginine/ADMA ratio, which defines the bioavailability of nitric oxide, remained intact in group 3 only ( P < 0.04). The arginine/ADMA ratio correlated with cortical flow, lipocalin-2, and creatinine rises. Warm and cold renal perfusion ( groups 2 and 3) during ischemia were similarly effective in lowering protein nitrosylation levels, renal leukocyte accumulation, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) expression in distal tubules, and urine NGAL ( P < 0.05). These data support the use of cold renal perfusion during renal ischemia in situations where renal ischemia is inevitable, as it reduces tubular damage and preserves renal extraction of dimethylarginines. Renal perfusion with saline per se during renal ischemia is effective in diminishing renal leukocyte accumulation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Hypothermic machine preservation (HMP) has been used in renal transplantation since the late 1960s with recent robust prospective, multicenter data showing lower rates of delayed graft function and improved graft survival. Although now clearly beneficial for renal transplantation, extrarenal machine perfusion has remained predominantly in preclinical investigations. Pancreatic HMP has drawn little clinical interest because HMP has been suggested to cause graft edema and congestion, which is associated with early venous thrombosis and graft failure. Early investigation showed no benefit of HMP in whole-organ pancreas transplant. One report did show that HMP increases islet cell yield after isolation. Preclinical work in liver HMP has been promising. Short- and long-term HMP has been shown to improve graft viability and reduce preservation injury, even in animal models of steatotic and donation after cardiac death. The first clinical study of liver HMP using a centrifugal dual perfusion technique showed excellent results with lower hepatocellular injury markers and no adverse perfusion-related outcomes. In addition, a dramatic attenuation of proinflammatory cytokine expression was observed. Further studies of liver HMP are planned with focus on developing a reproducible and standard protocol that will allow the widespread availability of this technology. Future research and clinical trials of novel organ preservation techniques, solutions, and interventions are likely to bring about developments that will allow further reduction of preservation-related ischemia/reperfusion injury and improved outcomes and allow safer utilization of the precious and limited resource of donor organs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Combining hypothermic techniques, as a more practical approach to preservation, may enhance the condition of kidneys donated after cardiac death.
Methods
Porcine kidneys were retrieved after 10 min in situ warm ischaemia, then preserved by either 18 h static cold storage (CS), hypothermic machine perfusion for 18 h (HMP) or 14 h static CS followed by 4 h HMP (4HMP). Kidneys were reperfused for 3 h with oxygenated autologous blood on an isolated organ perfusion system to assess renal function and injury.
Results
Intrarenal resistance was significantly higher in the 4HMP group than in the CS and HMP groups: mean(s.d.) area under the curve (AUC) 8·48(2·97), 3·41(1·80) and 3·78(1·68) mmHg/min.h respectively (P = 0·011). Creatinine clearance was lower after 4HMP and CS: AUC 2·3(0·6) and 2·2(1·7) ml per min per 100g.h respectively versus 9·8(7·3) ml per min per 100g.h in the HMP group (P = 0·022). Levels of endothelin 1 were higher in the 4HMP and CS groups: mean(s.d.) 21·6(4·0) and 24·2(2·3) pg/ml respectively versus 11·4(4·6) pg/ml in the HMP group (P = 0·002). Morphological damage was increased in the 4HMP group.
Conclusion
This porcine kidney study demonstrated no advantage to the addition of 4 h of HMP after CS.

Abstract
Animal experimentation is necessary to characterize human diseases and design adequate therapeutic interventions. In renal transplantation research, the limited number of in vitro models involves a crucial role for in vivo models and particularly for the porcine model. Pig and human kidneys are anatomically similar (characterized by multilobular structure in contrast to rodent and dog kidneys unilobular). The human proximity of porcine physiology and immune systems provides a basic knowledge of graft recovery and inflammatory physiopathology through in vivo studies. In addition, pig large body size allows surgical procedures similar to humans, repeated collections of peripheral blood or renal biopsies making pigs ideal for medical training and for the assessment of preclinical technologies. However, its size is also its main drawback implying expensive housing. Nevertheless, pig models are relevant alternatives to primate models, offering promising perspectives with developments of transgenic modulation and marginal donor models facilitating data extrapolation to human conditions.

Abstract
Background Machine perfusion (MP) has potential benefits for marginal organs such as from deceased from cardiac death donors (DCD). However, there is still no consensus on MP benefits. We aimed to determine machine perfusion benefits on kidney grafts. Methods We evaluated kidney grafts preserved in ViaspanUW or KPS solutions either by CS or MP, in a DCD pig model (60 min warm ischemia + 24 h hypothermic preservation). Endpoints were: function recovery, quality of function during follow up (3 month), inflammation, fibrosis, animal survival. Results ViaspanUW-CS animals did not recover function, while in other groups early follow up showed similar values for kidney function. Alanine peptidase and β-NAG activities in the urine were higher in CS than in MP groups. Oxydative stress was lower in KPS-MP animals. Histology was improved by MP over CS. Survival was 0% in ViaspanUW-CS and 60% in other groups. Chronic inflammation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and fibrosis were lowest in KPS-MP, followed by KPS-CS and ViaspanUW-MP. Conclusions With ViaspanUW, effects of MP are obvious as only MP kidney recovered function and allowed survival. With KPS, the benefits of MP over CS are not directly obvious in the early follow up period and only histological analysis, urinary tubular enzymes and red/ox status was discriminating. Chronic follow-up was more conclusive, with a clear superiority of MP over CS, independently of the solution used. KPS was proven superior to ViaspanUW in each preservation method in terms of function and outcome. In our pre-clinical animal model of DCD transplantation, MP offers critical benefits.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is increasing support for the use of hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) in an attempt to reduce preservation injury. However, experimental evidence is needed to further examine the effects of HMP on renal ischemia reperfusion injury. METHODS Porcine kidneys were subjected to 10 min of warm ischemia followed by 18 hr of static cold storage with hyperosomolar citrate (HOC), histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK), or University of Wisconsin (UW) solutions or 18 hr HMP with Kidney Perfusion Solution using the Lifeport perfusion system. Renal function, oxidative damage, and morphology were assessed during 3 hr of reperfusion with autologous blood using an isolated organ perfusion system. RESULTS During reperfusion, intrarenal resistance was significantly lower in the HMP group compared with HOC and UW (area under the curve; HMP 3.8+/-1.7, HOC 9.1+/-4.3, UW 7.7+/-2.2, HTK 5.6+/-1.9 mm Hg/min; P=0.006), and creatinine clearance was significantly higher compared with the UW group (area under the curve creatinine clearance; HMP 9.8+/-7.3, HOC 2.2+/-1.7, UW 1.8+/-1.0, HTK 2.1+/-1.8 mL/min/100 g; P=0.004). Tubular function was significantly improved in the HMP group (P<0.05); however, levels of lipid peroxidation were significantly higher (P=0.005). CONCLUSION HMP demonstrated a reduced level of preservation injury compared with the static techniques resulting in improved renal and tubular function and less tubular cell inflammation during reperfusion.
