Analysis of IL-17A, IL-17F, and miR-146a-5p Prior to Transplantation and Their Role in Kidney Transplant Recipients. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2920. [PMID: 38792460 PMCID: PMC11122464 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102920] [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: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: The balance between regulatory and Th17 cells plays an important role in maintaining the immune tolerance after kidney transplantation (KTx) which is essential for transplantation success, defined as a long graft survival and an absence of organ rejection. The present study aimed to assess whether the pretransplant characteristics of IL-17A and IL-17F, their receptors, as well as miR-146a-5p, an miRNA associated with IL-17A/F regulation, can predict KTx outcomes. Methods: A group of 108 pre-KTx dialysis patients and 125 healthy controls were investigated for single nucleotide substitutions within genes coding for IL-17A, IL-17F, their IL-17RA/RC receptors, and miR-146a-5p. Genotyping was performed using LightSNiP assays. In addition, IL17-A/F serum concentrations were determined using ELISA while miR-146a-5p expression was analyzed by RT-PCR. Results: The IL-17F (rs763780) G allele prevailed in KTx recipients as compared to healthy individuals (OR = 23.59, p < 0.0001) and was associated with a higher IL-17F serum level (p = 0.0381) prior to transplantation. Higher miR-146a-5p expression before KTx was more frequently detected in recipients with an increased IL-17A serum concentration (p = 0.0177). Moreover, IL-17A (rs2275913) GG homozygosity was found to be associated with an increased incidence of deaths before KTx (OR = 4.17, p = 0.0307). T-cell or acute rejection episodes were more frequently observed among patients with the C allele of miR-146a-5p (rs2910164) (OR = 5.38, p = 0.0531). IL17-RA/-RC genetic variants (p < 0.05) seem to be associated with eGFR values. Conclusions: These results imply that IL-17F (rs763780) polymorphism is associated with the serum level of this cytokine and may be related to the risk of renal disease and transplant rejection together with miR-146a-5p (rs2910164), while the IL-17A (rs2275913) genotype may affect patients' survival before KTx.

Abstract
Studies showed that the respiratory is not the only system affected by coronavirus 2, while cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous systems, as well as essential organs such as the kidneys, can be affected by this virus. In this review, we have studied the epidemiology, clinical, and laboratory findings on COVID-19 infection renal involvement, mortality, physiopathology, remaining renal sequels after recovery, underlying renal disease, and renal injury due to its treatment. Also, protective measures for kidney injury are explained in three levels. Evidence of viral particles and genome in the urine and renal tubular cells and signs of damage such as microangiopathy, hypercoagulopathy, and fibrosis are found in COVID-19 patients. The result of this study showed, in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, that the rate of acute kidney injury (AKI) was up to 46%, with a mortality ranging from 11 to 96%. A considerable proportion of patients with AKI would remain on renal replacement therapy. Proteinuria and hematuria are observed in 87 and 75% patients, and increased Cr and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 are observed in 29.6 and 35.3% of the patients, respectively. Remedsivir is considered to have adverse effects on GFR. COVID-19 patients need special attention to prevent AKI. Those with underlying chronic kidney disease or AKI need proper and explicit evaluation and treatment to improve their prognosis and decrease mortality, which should not be limited to the hospitalization period.

Abstract
Although many people report favourable attitudes towards organ donation, Hong Kong has one of the lowest rates of organ donation globally. The present study examined behavioural intention towards organ donation. A convenience sample of 225 Hong Kong Chinese adults (118 = female) aged 18-82 years were recruited to an online survey. Behavioural intention, attitudes, subjective norms, self-efficacy, knowledge and altruism were examined. ANOVA was conducted to examine key differences based on behavioural intention, regression then examined predictors of behavioural intention to donate before exploratory analysis examined the mediating role of subjective norms on the relationship between self-efficacy and behavioural intention. Findings revealed over one third (38%) of respondents were actively registered as organ donors. Women were significantly more likely to be registered as organ donors. Subjective norms and self-efficacy were strong predictors of behavioural intention to donate, and subjective norms significantly mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and behavioural intention to donate.

Abstract
Several factors have been reported to affect graft survival following kidney transplantation. CD52 molecules may increase T cell proliferation and activation, which may contribute to acute graft rejection and graft survival. In the current study, we studied the possible value of preoperative CD52 levels in predicting graft survival following renal transplantation. Ninety-six patients with end-stage renal disease who had kidney transplantation were included in the study from our prospective cohort. Blood samples were taken one day before surgery, and plasma CD52 levels were measured using ELISA (Cloud-Clone Corp., Houston, TX, USA). Acute rejection, acute tubular necrosis, delayed graft function, graft loss, BK infection, cytomegalovirus infection, and graft survival were evaluated. The mean age of recipients was
, and 64.6% were male. The incidence of delayed graft function, acute rejection, graft loss (
), BK virus infection, and serum creatinine levels were significantly higher in recipients with high preoperative CD52 levels six months after transplantation (
). Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed that three-year graft survival was significantly higher in patients with low preoperative CD52 levels (
). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that serum creatinine levels (
,
), acute rejection (
,
), and preoperative CD52 levels (
,
) were independent prognostic factors for graft survival after kidney transplantation. We showed that high preoperative CD52 levels are associated with higher rates of acute rejection, delayed graft function, and BK virus infection and lower rates of graft survival after kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) is a disease occurred in glomeruli. The mechanism of CGN is regarded to be involved in a range of inflammatory responses. MicroRNA-339-5p (miR-339-5p) has been reported to be involved in inflammatory responses in many diseases. However, the role of miR-339-5p in CGN remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of miR-339-5p in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nephritis injury in vitro. The real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot (WB) were used to detect the expression of miR-339-5p and Syk/Ras/c-Fos pathway. Double luciferase was performed to identify targeted binding of miR-339-5p to Syk. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry were used to observe cell viability and cell cycle. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to measure the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-10, IL-6, and TNF-α. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could increase HBZY-1 (rat mesangial cells) cell viability, decrease the G2 phase, and promote cell proliferation and accelerate inflammatory cytokine. However, overexpression of miR-339-5p could inhibit LPS-induced HBZY-1 cell viability, decrease the expression of Syk/Ras/c-Fos signaling pathway, downregulate the expression level of inflammatory cytokines, increase the G2 phase, and inhibit cell proliferation. miR-339-5p could inhibit the proliferation and inflammation of the rat mesangial cells through regulating Syk/Ras/c-Fos signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence that estrogen is responsible for improved outcomes in female kidney transplant recipients. Although the exact mechanism is not yet known, estrogen appears to exert its protective effects by ameliorating ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). In this study, we have examined whether the beneficial effects of exogenous estrogen in renal IRI are replicated by therapy with any one of several selective estrogen receptor modulators. METHODS C57BL/6 adult mice underwent standardized warm renal ischemia for 28 min after being injected with the selective estrogen receptor modulators, raloxifene, lasofoxifene, tamoxifen, bazedoxifene, or control vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide), at 16 and 1 h before IRI. Plasma concentrations of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were assessed 24, 48, 72, and 96 h post-IRI. Tissue was collected 30 d postischemia for fibrosis analysis using Sirius Red staining. RESULTS Raloxifene treatment in female mice resulted in significantly lower blood urea nitrogen and creatinine after IRI and significantly lower fibrosis 30 d following IRI. CONCLUSIONS Raloxifene is protective against both acute kidney injury and fibrosis resulting from renal IRI in a mouse model.

Abstract
Introduction Nondirected donation (NDD) of the kidneys is a growing practice where donors who do not have any genetic or emotional relationship are selected to donate to a wide variety of recipients with a range of selection criteria and decisions which are left up to individual transplant centers. Methods We review all adult living kidney donor-recipient (DR) pairs and outcomes from NDDs who were recorded in United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database as code 10 (anonymous) from October 1997 to September 2017 for demographics and outcomes. Results A total of 2174 DR pairs were identified. The number of NDDs increased from 18 in 2000 to 256 in 2016. Survival analysis showed higher death-censored-graft survival (DC-GS) when recipient was 20 years or more older than donor followed by recipient-donor within 20 years of age and lowest when donor was 20 years or more older than recipient (P = 0.0114). Conclusion Overall, the number of NDDs has increased significantly in the 20-year review period. Transplants from NDDs have excellent long-term outcomes. Better matching of controllable DR factors, such as age and body mass index (BMI), could further improve GS. Further research is needed to incorporate these DR factors into paired kidney donation programs potentially enhancing the utility and beneficence of this invaluable donation.

Abstract
Since the first living donor kidney transplantation about six decades ago, significant progress has been made in terms of extending allograft survival. However, to date, only a small number of studies have compared the functional changes of the donated kidney to that of the remaining kidney. Although relatively small, the study by Gonzalez Rinne et al. demonstrated the adaptive capacity of the transplanted kidney in 30 donor-recipient pairs. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in both donors and recipients was obtained 12 months after transplantation and the authors identified three scenarios: (i) where donors had a higher GFR than recipients; (ii) where donors had a lower GFR than recipients; and (iii) where donors had a similar GFR to recipients. The mechanisms mediating GFR adaptability after kidney transplantation seem to be associated with body surface area (including sex differences in body surface area). Microstructural analysis of human and animal models of renal physiology provides some clues to the physiological adaptation of the transplanted organ. The nephron number from endowment and age-related loss and the adaptive ability for compensatory glomerular hyperfiltration likely play a major role.

Abstract
Multiple factors influence graft rejection after kidney transplantation. Pre-operative factors affecting graft function and survival include donor and recipient characteristics such as age, gender, race, and immunologic compatibility. In addition, several peri- and post-operative parameters affect graft function and rejection, such as cold and warm ischemia times, and post-operative immunosuppressive treatment. Exposure to non-self-human leucocyte antigens (HLAs) prior to transplantation up-regulates the recipient’s immune system. A higher rate of acute rejection is observed in transplant recipients with a history of pregnancies or significant exposure to blood products because these patients have higher panel reactive antibody (PRA) levels. Identifying these risk factors will help physicians to reduce the risk of allograft rejection, thereby promoting graft survival. In the current review, we summarize the existing literature on donor- and recipient-related risk factors of graft rejection and graft loss following kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Background and Aims Living donor kidneys are considered the best quality organs. In the attempt to expand the donor pool, the donor’s age, sex and body mass index (BMI) might be considered as potential determinants of the kidney transplant outcomes, and thus guide recipient selection. We aimed to investigate the effects of donor demographics on kidney function, graft and recipient survival, delayed graft function (DGF) and acute rejection (AR). Methods Systematic review and meta-analysis. EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Science, BIOSIS, CABI, SciELO and Cochrane were searched using algorithms. NHBLI tools were used for risk of bias assessment. Mean difference (MD), standardized mean difference (SMD), and risk ratio (RR) were calculated in Revman 5.4 Results Altogether, 5129 studies were identified by the search algorithm; 47 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. No significant difference in recipient 1-year survival was found between recipients of donors aged < 50 vs donors aged > 50 (RR = 0.65 95% CI: 0.1–4.1), and recipients of donors aged < 60 vs donors aged > 60 (RR = 0.81 95% CI: 0.3–2.3). Graft survival was significantly higher in recipients of grafts from donors aged < 60. Risk of AR (RR = 0.62 95% CI: 0.5–0.8) and DGF (RR = 0.28 95% CI: 0.1–0.9) were significantly lower in recipients of grafts from donors aged < 60. One-year serum creatinine was significantly lower in recipients from donors aged < 60 years compared to donors aged > 60 years (MD = 0.3 mg/dl 95% CI: 0.1–0.9), although there was high heterogeneity. Recipients of grafts from male donors had lower 1-year serum creatinine (MD = 0.12 mg/dl 95% CI: 0.2–0.1) and higher eGFR compared to recipients of female donors (p < 0.00001). Donor obesity increased the incidence of delayed graft function but not acute rejection (RR = 0.66 95% CI: 0.32–1.34). Conclusions Older donor age was associated with worse post-transplant outcomes and recipients of male donors had better 1-year eGFR. Donor obesity affects the incidence of delayed graft function, but not the incidence of acute rejection in recipients. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the kidney graft function and survival in patients who had second kidney transplantation from living donors versus those who had a second transplant from young deceased donors. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 86 patients who underwent second kidney transplantation in Shariati hospital from 2001 until 2017 were enrolled. Baseline clinical data on the age, sex, type of kidney donor (living unrelated or deceased), duration of pretransplant dialysis, and the length of hospitalization were recorded. As the indicators of the graft function, we used the serum creatinine level and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at time intervals during the study. The 1, 5, and 10-year graft survival rates were reported using life tables and the relative hazard ratios of the graft failure were calculated using the forward stepwise Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS Forty-six of our patients were men (53.5%), with a mean ± SD age of 44.3 ± 12.3 years at the time of transplantation. The majority of the enrolled patients received the kidney from living unrelated donors (50 vs. 36 patients). In terms of serum creatinine and eGFR, at time intervals, no significant difference was found between the two recipient groups. In the living donor group, the 1, 5, and 10-year graft survival rates of the second transplant were 91% (95%CI: 73-96%), 87% (95%CI: 69-95%), and 82% (95%CI: 59-92%), and for the deceased donor group were 95% (95% CI: 69-99%), 95% (95%CI: 69-99%), and 79% (95%CI: 31-95%), respectively. CONCLUSION Considering the long-term outcomes of the second kidney transplantation, in our experience, the graft function and survival, either from the living or deceased donors, were favorable; and the type of organ donation had no significant effect on the risk of graft failure.

Abstract
Introduction Recent data suggest a risk of gestational hypertension, proteinuria and pre-eclampsia among pregnancies after kidney donation. Methods This retrospective study among females who donated kidneys (1997-2017) at a tertiary renal transplant center in Northern India assessed the maternal and fetal outcomes of their pregnancy. Data of participants were collected using pre-tested semi structured questionnaire. Results In total, 925 female kidney donors (1332 pregnancies) in the pre-donation group and 45 females (48 pregnancies) in the post donation period were included. The mean age of first pregnancy, weight (kg) gain, proportion of history of pre-natal check-up, institutional delivery, and history of unrelated donation was statically significant among the post-donation group. The proportion of pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, and post-partum hemorrhage was insignificantly higher among the post-donation group with higher preterm birth with low-birth-weight babies. Proteinuria (P < 0.05) was significantly higher among post donation pregnancies. In multivariate analysis, cesarean delivery and low birth weight (<2500 g) were common among the post-donation pregnancy group. Conclusions The study demonstrated no significant risk to maternal outcomes butan increased risk to fetal outcomes in terms of prematurity and low birth weight among the post-donation pregnancy group.

J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10235556. [PMID: 34884257 PMCID: PMC8658296 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10235556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims: Recipient demographics affect outcomes after kidney transplantation. The aim of this study was to assess, for kidneys retrieved from living donors, the effect of recipient sex, ethnicity, and body mass index (BMI) on delayed graft function (DGF) and one-year graft function, incidence of acute rejection (AR), and recipient and graft survivals. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed. EMBASE and MEDLINE databases were searched using algorithms through Ovid. Web of Science collection, BIOSIS, CABI, Korean Journal database, Russian Science Citation Index, and SciELO were searched through Web of Science. Cochrane database was also searched. Risk of bias was assessed using the NHBLI tools. Data analysis was performed using Revman 5.4. Mean difference (MD) and risk ratio (RR) were used in analysis. Results: A total of 5129 studies were identified; 24 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analysed. Female recipients were found to have a significantly lower serum creatinine 1-year-post renal transplantation (MD: −0.24 mg/dL 95%CI: −0.18 to −0.29 p < 0.01) compared to male recipients. No significant difference in survival between male and female recipients nor between Caucasians and Africans was observed (p = 0.08). However, Caucasian recipients had a higher 1-year graft survival compared to African recipients (95% CI 0.52−0.98) with also a lower incidence of DGF (RR = 0.63 p < 0.01) and AR (RR = 0.55 p < 0.01). Recipient obesity (BMI > 30) was found to have no effect on 1-year recipient (p = 0.28) and graft survival (p = 0.93) compared to non-obese recipients although non-obese recipients had a lower rate of DGF (RR = 0.65 p < 0.01) and AR (RR = 0.81 p < 0.01) compared to obese recipients. Conclusions: Gender mismatch between male recipients and female donors has negative impact on graft survival. African ethnicity and obesity do not to influence recipient and graft survival but negatively affect DGF and AR rates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Living donor kidney transplant (LDKT) is one of the best therapeutic options for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Guidelines identify different estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) thresholds to determine the eligibility of donors. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether pretransplant donor eGFR was associated with kidney function in the recipient. METHODS We retrospectively studied LDKT recipients who received a kidney graft between September 1, 2005, and June 30, 2016 in the same transplant center in France and that had eGFR data available at 3, 12, 24, and 36 months posttransplant. RESULTS We studied 90 donor-recipient pairs. The average age at time of transplant was 51.47 ± 10.95 for donors and 43.04 ± 13.52 years for recipients. Donors' average eGFR was 91.99 ± 15.37 mL/min/1.73 m2. Donor's age and eGFR were significantly correlated (p < 0.0001, r2 0.023). Donor's age and eGFR significantly correlated with recipient's eGFR at 3, 12, and 24 months posttransplant (age: p < 0.001 at all intervals; eGFR p = 0.001, 0.003, and 0.016, respectively); at 36 months, only donor's age significantly correlated with recipient's eGFR. BMI, gender match, and year of kidney transplant did not correlate with graft function. In the multivariable analyses, donor's eGFR and donor's age were found to be associated with graft function; correlation with eGFR was lost at 36 months; and donor's age retained a strong correlation with graft function at all intervals (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Donor's eGFR and age are strong predictors of recipient's kidney function at 3 years. We suggest that donor's eGFR should be clinically balanced with other determinants of kidney function and in particular with age.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Transplant pathology contributes substantially to personalized treatment of organ allograft recipients. Rapidly advancing next-generation human leukocyte antigen (HLA) sequencing and pathology are enhancing the abilities to improve donor/recipient matching and allograft monitoring. RECENT FINDINGS The present review summarizes the workflow of a prototypical patient through a pathology practice, highlighting histocompatibility assessment and pathologic review of tissues as areas that are evolving to incorporate next-generation technologies while emphasizing critical needs of the field. SUMMARY Successful organ transplantation starts with the most precise pratical donor-recipient histocompatibility matching. Next-generation sequencing provides the highest resolution donor-recipient matching and enables eplet mismatch scores and more precise monitoring of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) that may arise after transplant. Multiplex labeling combined with hand-crafted machine learning is transforming traditional histopathology. The combination of traditional blood/body fluid laboratory tests, eplet and DSA analysis, traditional and next-generation histopathology, and -omics-based platforms enables risk stratification and identification of early subclinical molecular-based changes that precede a decline in allograft function. Needs include software integration of data derived from diverse platforms that can render the most accurate assessment of allograft health and needs for immunosuppression adjustments.
