As a result of the increasing number of transplants being facilitated by kidney paired donation and newer initiatives such as voucher donation, end-chain (EC) kidneys now constitute a considerable proportion of kidney paired donation transplants in the United States. Data on EC kidneys are limited. They may be lower in quality compared with non-EC living donor kidneys. However, they can provide unique opportunities for recipient candidates without living donors. There are no data or algorithms available to guide recipient selection for EC kidneys accepted by a transplant center. Considering the ethical principles of utility, justice, and respect for persons that underlie organ allocation, we discuss 3 potential approaches for recipient selection: (1) adherence to the kidney allocation system, (2) utility maximization; and (3) priority to high-risk candidates, along with examples from our own center's experience. Similar considerations are also relevant to selection of recipients for nondirected donor organs and to out-of-sequence allocation for deceased organ donors. Because EC kidneys represent an increasing proportion of kidney paired donation-facilitated living kidney donor transplantation in the United States and will likely get more medically and surgically complex over time, ongoing research on their utilization and outcomes is needed.

由于肾脏配对捐献以及凭单捐献等新举措促进了越来越多的移植手术,在美国,终末链肾脏目前在肾脏配对捐献移植手术中占有相当大的比例。有关终端链肾脏的数据很有限。与非末端链活体捐献肾脏相比,它们的质量可能较低。不过,它们可以为没有活体供体的受体候选者提供独特的机会。目前还没有数据或算法来指导移植中心选择接受末端链肾脏的受体。考虑到器官分配所遵循的实用、公正和尊重个人的伦理原则,我们讨论了三种可能的受体选择方法:1)遵守肾脏分配系统;2)效用最大化;3)优先考虑高风险候选者。类似的考虑因素也适用于非定向捐献器官受体的选择,以及已故器官捐献者的顺序外分配。由于终末链肾在美国肾脏配对捐献促进的活体肾脏捐献者移植中所占的比例越来越大,而且随着时间的推移,在医学和手术方面可能会变得更加复杂,因此需要对其利用情况和结果进行持续研究。

Direct-acting antiviral agents have facilitated the utilization of hepatitis C virus (HCV)+ organs in HCV nucleic acid amplification test (NAT)- recipients. We evaluated trends in HCV NAT+ listing and its impact on transplant probability, waitlist mortality, and likelihood of receiving HCV NAT+ organs using the United Network for Organ Sharing data set of adult patients waitlisted for liver transplantation from January 2016 to September 2023. Multivariable regression models accounting for competing risks were fit to study waitlist outcomes. Initially, 21 776 patients were listed for HCV NAT+ organs whereas 45 378 were not. The percentage of waitlisted patients listed for these organs increased significantly from 2016 to 2023 (8.8% to 60.8%, P < .001). Initial HCV NAT+ listing was associated with a waitlist mortality benefit in 2021-2023 (subhazard ratio 0.73, 95% CI 0.68-0.79, P < .001) and 17% reduced hazard of overall mortality (hazard ratio 0.83, 95% CI 0.78-0.89, P < .001). Sixteen percent of the total protective effect associated with HCV NAT+ listing on overall survival was mediated through actual receipt of HCV NAT+ organs (total excess relative risk of -0.160 and a pure indirect effect of -0.026; P < .001). Patients not listed for HCV NAT+ organs in the modern era are relatively disadvantaged in terms of waitlist outcomes. Although listings have risen over time, there remains center-level and geographic variation.

直接作用抗病毒药物促进了丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)+器官在HCV核酸扩增检测(NAT)受者中的应用。我们利用器官共享联合网络(United Network for Organ Sharing)从 2016 年 1 月至 2023 年 9 月期间等待肝移植的成年患者数据集,评估了 HCV NAT+ 上榜的趋势及其对移植概率、等待者死亡率和接受 HCV NAT+ 器官可能性的影响。研究人员拟合了考虑竞争风险的多变量回归模型来研究候选结果。21776 名患者最初被列入接受 HCV NAT+ 器官移植的名单,45378 名患者未被列入。从 2016 年到 2023 年,等待这些器官的患者比例显著增加(8.8% 到 60.8%,p

Contrary to immune cells, the response of the kidney structural cells in rejection is less established. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of 18 kidney transplant biopsies from 14 recipients. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified cells from the major compartments of the kidney, next to infiltrated immune cells. Endothelial cells from the glomerulus, peritubular capillaries, and vasa recta showed upregulation of class I and II human leukocyte antigen genes, adhesion molecules, cytokines, and chemokines, suggesting active participation in the alloimmune process, with compartment-specific differences. Epithelial cells including proximal tubular, loop of Henle, and collecting duct cells, also showed increased expression of immune genes. Strikingly, in proximal tubule cells, a strong downregulation of energy metabolism upon inflammation was observed. There was a large overlap between the cell-specific expression changes upon alloimmune inflammation and those observed in 2 large microarray biopsy cohorts. In conclusion, the kidney structural cells, being the main target of the alloimmune process, appear to actively contribute herein, enhancing the damaging effects of the infiltrating immune cells. In epithelial cells, a profound shutdown of metabolism was seen upon inflammation, which is associated with poor kidney function. These observations highlight the critical role of the graft in triggering and sustaining rejection after transplantation.

与免疫细胞相反,肾脏结构细胞在排斥反应中的反应尚不明确。我们对来自 14 位受者的 18 例肾移植活检组织进行了单细胞 RNA 测序。单细胞 RNA 测序确定了肾脏主要分区的细胞,以及浸润的免疫细胞。来自肾小球、肾小管周围毛细血管和直肠输精管的内皮细胞显示出I类和II类HLA基因、粘附分子、细胞因子和趋化因子的上调,这表明肾脏积极参与了同种免疫过程,而且各分区之间存在特异性差异。上皮细胞(包括近端肾小管细胞、亨列襻细胞和集合管细胞)的免疫基因表达也有所增加。令人震惊的是,在近端肾小管细胞中,观察到炎症发生时能量代谢强烈下调。同种免疫炎症时细胞特异性表达变化与在两个大型微阵列活检队列中观察到的变化有很大的重叠。总之,肾脏结构细胞作为同种免疫过程的主要目标,似乎在其中起到了积极作用,增强了浸润免疫细胞的破坏作用。在上皮细胞中,炎症会导致新陈代谢严重停止,这与肾功能不良有关。这些观察结果凸显了移植物在引发和维持移植后排斥反应中的关键作用。

Organ availability remains a persistent problem in lung transplantation. The use of organs from donors with chronic thromboembolic disease has not been described. In this report, we discuss 2 lung transplant recipients who received organs from donors with acute bilateral pulmonary embolism. All organs underwent backtable pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) prior to implantation and notably showed evidence of chronic thromboembolic disease and subacute changes in the distal vasculature. Grafts were placed with both patients on veno-arterial (VA) extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Both patients had unremarkable hospital courses with graft dysfunction scores of 0 at 48 and 72 hours. At follow-up, both patients remained free of graft rejection. We highlight the utility of lungs derived from chronic thromboembolic disease as a strategy to expand the organ pool.
器官供应仍然是肺移植中的一个老大难问题。使用患有慢性血栓栓塞疾病的供体器官的情况尚未见报道。在本报告中,我们讨论了两名肺移植受者,他们接受的器官来自患有急性双侧肺栓塞的供体。所有器官在植入前都进行了后台式肺血栓内膜切除术(PTE),并明显显示出慢性血栓栓塞性疾病和远端血管亚急性变化的证据。移植时,两名患者都接受了静脉-动脉(VA)体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)治疗。两名患者的住院过程均无异常,移植物功能障碍评分在 48 小时和 72 小时内均为 0。随访期间,两名患者均未出现移植物排斥反应。我们强调了从慢性血栓栓塞性疾病中提取的肺作为扩大器官库的一种策略的实用性。

Allograft fibrosis is increasingly detected in graft biopsies as the postoperative period extends, potentially emerging as a pivotal determinant of long-term graft function and graft survival among pediatric recipients. Currently, there is a paucity of non-invasive diagnostic tools capable of identifying allograft fibrosis in pediatric recipients of liver transplants. This study involved 507 pediatric liver transplant patients and developed a novel blood-based diagnostic assay, PT-LIFE, to noninvasively distinguish allograft fibrosis using blood samples, clinical data, and biopsy outcomes. The PT-LIFE assay was derived from a matrix of 23 variables and validated in two independent cohorts. It integrates three biomarkers (LECT2, YKL-40, FBLN3) with an AUROC of 0.91. In the pooled analysis, a PT-LIFE score lower than 0.12 identified LAFSc 0-2 with a sensitivity of 91.9%, whereas scores above 0.29 indicated LAFSc 3-6, with a specificity of 88.4%. The PT-LIFE assay presents as a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool for the detection of allograft fibrosis in pediatric liver transplant recipients. The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT05308628.
随着术后时间的延长,移植物活检中发现的同种异体纤维化越来越多,有可能成为决定小儿受者长期移植物功能和移植物存活率的关键因素。目前,能够识别小儿肝移植受者异体移植物纤维化的非侵入性诊断工具还很少。这项研究涉及 507 名小儿肝移植患者,并开发了一种新型的血液诊断测定 PT-LIFE,利用血液样本、临床数据和活检结果无创鉴别异体移植物纤维化。PT-LIFE检测方法由23个变量组成,并在两个独立队列中进行了验证。它整合了三个生物标记物(LECT2、YKL-40、FBLN3),AUROC为0.91。在汇总分析中,PT-LIFE 评分低于 0.12 时,可识别 LAFSc 0-2,灵敏度为 91.9%;评分高于 0.29 时,可识别 LAFSc 3-6,特异性为 88.4%。PT-LIFE测定是检测小儿肝移植受者异体移植物纤维化的一种很有前景的无创诊断工具。该研究已在 ClinicalTrials.gov 注册,标识符为 NCT05308628。

Intestinal transplantation (ITx) is the definitive treatment for intestinal failure but has the highest rejection rate among solid organ transplants, requiring high doses of immunosuppression with high rates of infection, graft-versus-host disease, and malignancy. Transplant tolerance would overcome the need for long-term immunosuppression. Using non-myeloablative conditioning, our laboratory has developed a novel swine model of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) that produces durable mixed chimerism (MC) and immune tolerance without toxicity. We investigated whether durable MC would promote tolerance of subsequently transplanted donor-matched intestinal allografts without immunosuppression. Using miniature swine with defined MHC, we performed HSCT across an MHC-Class-I haplotype mismatch. Immunosuppression was stopped by day 45. MC was evaluated by flow cytometry, and mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) assays were used to evaluate cellular responses. Subsequently, orthotopic ITx was performed without immunosuppression using a donor that was MHC-matched to the HSCT donor. Recipients were observed for four weeks and euthanized for tissue collection and mechanistic assays. After HSCT, the recipients developed durable multilineage MC and apparent deletional tolerance. After ITx, recipients showed no clinical or histological signs of rejection, and chimerism was unchanged. These results demonstrate the potential value of generating durable MC to achieve transplant tolerance.
肠道移植(ITx)是治疗肠道功能衰竭的最终方法,但在实体器官移植中排斥率最高,需要大剂量的免疫抑制,感染、移植物抗宿主疾病和恶性肿瘤的发病率也很高。移植耐受将克服长期免疫抑制的需要。我们的实验室利用非柚子消融调理,开发了一种新型猪造血干细胞移植(HSCT)模型,可产生持久的混合嵌合体(MC)和无毒性免疫耐受。我们研究了持久的混合嵌合体是否会促进随后移植的与供者匹配的肠道异体移植物的耐受性,而无需免疫抑制。我们使用具有明确 MHC 的微型猪,在 MHC-Class-I 单倍型错配的情况下进行造血干细胞移植。免疫抑制在第 45 天停止。用流式细胞术评估MC,用混合淋巴细胞反应(MLR)测定评估细胞反应。随后,使用与造血干细胞移植供体 MHC 匹配的供体,在没有免疫抑制的情况下进行了正位 ITx。受者被观察四周后安乐死,以便进行组织采集和机理检测。造血干细胞移植后,受者产生了持久的多系MC和明显的缺失耐受。ITx 后,受者没有出现排斥反应的临床或组织学迹象,嵌合体也没有变化。这些结果证明了产生持久的 MC 以实现移植耐受的潜在价值。

Major histocompatibility complex and peptide specificity underpin CD8+ T cell direct alloresponse. MHC 和多肽特异性是 CD8+ T 细胞直接异反应的基础。

The direct alloresponse, pivotal in transplant rejection, occurs when recipient T cells recognize intact allogeneic peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) complexes. Despite extensive research, our understanding of alloreactive CD8+ T cells against an individual MHC allele in humans remains limited, especially their precursor frequency, MHC specificity, and peptide specificity. By using K562 cell-based artificial antigen-presenting cells expressing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A∗01:01, HLA-A∗02:01, or HLA-A∗03:01, we determined that the precursor frequency of alloreactive CD8+ T cells against a single MHC allele ranges from 0.1% to 0.5%. Further, these cells exhibited MHC specificity regarding proliferation, activation, interferon gamma secretion, and cytolytic ability, with limited crossreactivity toward nontargeted MHC alleles. Focusing on anti-A2 alloreactive CD8+ T cells, we developed a peptide-exchangeable artificial antigen-presenting cell that displays selected peptides on HLA-A∗02:01. From a set of 95 computationally curated A2-restricted peptides most abundant in renal tubular cells, we identified 2 immunogenic kidney peptides across multiple donors. Overall, our findings significantly enhance the understanding of direct alloresponse and provide a toolkit for future mechanistic studies and reproducible patient monitoring.

当受体 T 细胞识别到完整的异体肽-MHC 复合物时,就会产生直接异体反应,这种反应在移植排斥中起着关键作用。尽管进行了大量研究,但我们对人类针对单个 MHC 等位基因的异源反应 CD8+ T 细胞的了解仍然有限,尤其是它们的前体频率、MHC 特异性和肽特异性。通过使用表达 HLA-A*01:01、HLA-A*02:01 或 HLA-A*03:01 的基于 K562 细胞的人工抗原递呈细胞(aAPCs),我们确定了针对单个 MHC 等位基因的异源性 CD8+ T 细胞的前体频率为 0.1% 到 0.5%。此外,这些细胞在增殖、活化、IFN-γ分泌和细胞溶解能力方面表现出MHC特异性,对非目标MHC等位基因的交叉反应有限。我们以抗 A2 特异反应的 CD8+ T 细胞为重点,开发了一种可显示 HLA-A*02:01 上选定肽的肽交换型 aAPC。我们从肾小管细胞中最丰富的一组 95 个经过计算筛选的 A2 限制肽中,在多个供体中发现了两种免疫原性肾肽。总之,我们的研究结果大大提高了人们对直接异体反应的认识,并为未来的机理研究和可重复的患者监测提供了一个工具包。

Endothelial cells (ECs) are an initial barrier between vascularized organ allografts and the host immune system and are thus well positioned to initiate and influence alloimmune rejection. The mTOR inhibitor rapamycin is known to inhibit T cell activation and attenuate acute allograft rejection (AR). It also has numerous effects on ECs. We hypothesized that mTOR blockade might directly alter EC alloimmunogenicity and reduce alloimmune responses independent of its effects on T cell function. Here we report that rapamycin treatment modulates EC coinhibitory ligand expression and alters cytokine/chemokine production. It alters the EC transcriptome broadly associated with negative regulation of immune responses. Rapamycin-treated ECs suppress EC-specific T cell proliferation independent of PD1/PD ligand interactions, and inhibit T cells responding to adjacent allogeneic cells in a contact-independent manner via secreted inhibitory mediators above 10 kDa. The T cell hypo-responsiveness induced by rapamycin-pretreated ECs was rescued by exogenous IL-2. Pre-exposing donor hearts to rapamycin improves the effect of B7 costimulation blockade in prolonging heart allograft survival in an MHC-mismatched mouse model. Our results indicate that rapamycin treated ECs have reduced alloimmunogenicity and create a local, contact-independent environment that limits T cell alloreactivity via anergy induction and improves the efficacy of B7 costimulation blockade.
内皮细胞(EC)是血管化器官同种异体移植物与宿主免疫系统之间的初始屏障,因此能很好地启动和影响同种异体免疫排斥反应。众所周知,mTOR抑制剂雷帕霉素能抑制T细胞活化,减轻急性同种异体移植排斥反应(AR)。它对EC也有许多影响。我们推测,mTOR阻断剂可能会直接改变EC的异体免疫原性并减少异体免疫反应,而不依赖于其对T细胞功能的影响。在这里,我们报告了雷帕霉素治疗可调节EC共抑制配体的表达并改变细胞因子/趋化因子的产生。雷帕霉素改变了与免疫反应负调控广泛相关的EC转录组。雷帕霉素处理的EC会抑制EC特异性T细胞的增殖,而不依赖于PD1/PD配体的相互作用,并通过分泌10 kDa以上的抑制介质,以不依赖于接触的方式抑制T细胞对邻近的异体细胞产生反应。经雷帕霉素预处理的EC诱导的T细胞低反应性可被外源IL-2所挽救。在MHC不匹配的小鼠模型中,供体心脏预先暴露于雷帕霉素可改善B7成本刺激阻断在延长心脏异体移植存活率方面的效果。我们的研究结果表明,雷帕霉素处理过的心肌降低了异体免疫原性,并创造了一个不依赖接触的局部环境,通过诱导过敏限制了T细胞异体活性,提高了B7成本刺激阻断的效果。

Rejection is a primary cause of allograft dysfunction after kidney transplantation. Diversity of immune subpopulations involved in the different endotypes of rejection remains to be delineated at single-cell resolution. In a cohort of 76 kidney transplant recipients, we conducted high-dimensional immune phenotyping of blood CD4 T and B cells, single-cell RNA and T/B cell receptor sequencing and plasma cytokine profiling. Phenotypic, transcriptional and clonal states of CD4T and B cells could significantly distinguish stable allograft state from rejection. Patients undergoing T-cell mediated rejection displayed accumulation of clonally expanded of cytotoxic T helper (Th)1 cells and of Th17-like cells, associated with predominant naive B cell responses. In contrast, antibody-mediated rejection was characterized by clonal expansion of Th1-polarized T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and effector T-bet+ memory B cells, both of which strongly expressed IL-12 and TNF-signaling pathways. Plasma cytokine analysis confirmed mixed Th1/Th17 and Th1/Tfh-driven inflammatory profiles distinguishing T-cell mediated rejection and antibody-mediated rejection, respectively. CD4T and B cell subpopulations and signatures were validated by bulk RNA-seq analysis of matched kidney allografts and using an independent single-cell RNAseq dataset. These data improve mechanistic understanding of immune pathogenesis of rejection and support development of more specific immunosuppressive therapies to treat allograft rejection.
排斥反应是肾移植后异体移植物功能障碍的主要原因。参与不同排斥反应内型的免疫亚群的多样性仍有待于单细胞分辨率的界定。在一组 76 名肾移植受者中,我们对血液 CD4 T 细胞和 B 细胞进行了高维免疫表型分析、单细胞 RNA 和 T/B 细胞受体测序以及血浆细胞因子分析。CD4T和B细胞的表型、转录和克隆状态可显著区分稳定的异体移植状态和排斥反应。T细胞介导的排斥反应患者体内细胞毒性T辅助细胞(Th)1和Th17样细胞克隆扩增,并伴有主要的幼稚B细胞反应。相反,抗体介导的排斥反应则表现为Th1极化T滤泡辅助细胞(Tfh)和效应T-bet+记忆B细胞的克隆扩增,这两种细胞都强烈表达IL-12和TNF信号通路。血浆细胞因子分析证实了Th1/Th17和Th1/Tfh驱动的混合炎症特征,分别区分了T细胞介导的排斥反应和抗体介导的排斥反应。CD4T和B细胞亚群和特征通过匹配肾脏异体移植物的批量RNA-seq分析和使用独立的单细胞RNAseq数据集得到了验证。这些数据增进了对排斥反应免疫发病机制的了解,有助于开发更具特异性的免疫抑制疗法来治疗异体移植排斥反应。

Face transplantation has emerged as reconstructive option for the most challenging facial deformities. A comprehensive analysis of functional outcomes, medical complications, incidence of malignancy, and chronic rejection in face transplantation recipients over an extended follow-up period has not yet been published leaving a notable gap in the literature. We retrospectively collected data of morbidity, rejection, vasculopathy, metabolic side effects, as well as functional outcome of sensory return, facial motor function, and speech from nine patients who underwent face transplantation at Brigham and Women´s Hospital (Boston, USA) between 2009 - 2020. The median follow-up was 120 months (54 - 154 months). Four grafts (40%) developed signs of clinical and histopathological chronic rejection without evidence of vasculopathy on computer tomography angiograms. Sensory return assessed with WEST-Monofilament showed an increase in six patients (66.7%) and facial expression analysis showed improvement throughout the whole cohort at their most recent follow up. Speech intelligibility was stable or increasing for five patients (55.6%). In conclusion, the long-term outcomes reveal promising results in terms of overall graft retention, and functional recovery. Metabolic, malignant, and infectious complications, as well as graft rejection episodes are expected to occur in this population, and some may be related to patient's age and lifestyle.
面部移植已成为最具挑战性的面部畸形的重建选择。目前尚未有文献对面部移植受者的功能效果、医疗并发症、恶性肿瘤发病率和慢性排斥反应进行长期随访的全面分析,这在文献中留下了明显的空白。我们回顾性地收集了2009年至2020年期间在布里格姆妇女医院(美国波士顿)接受面部移植手术的9名患者的发病率、排斥反应、血管病变、代谢副作用以及感觉恢复、面部运动功能和语言等功能结果的数据。中位随访时间为 120 个月(54 - 154 个月)。四例移植物(40%)出现了临床和组织病理学上的慢性排斥迹象,但计算机断层扫描血管造影并未显示血管病变。用WEST-Monofilament进行的感觉恢复评估显示,有6名患者(66.7%)的感觉恢复有所改善,面部表情分析显示,在最近的随访中,所有患者的面部表情都有所改善。五名患者(55.6%)的语言清晰度保持稳定或有所提高。总之,长期结果显示,在总体移植物保留和功能恢复方面取得了可喜的成果。代谢、恶性和感染并发症以及移植物排斥反应预计会在这一人群中出现,其中一些可能与患者的年龄和生活方式有关。
