Background and objectivesRecent evidence suggests that HLA epitope-mismatching at HLA-DQ loci is associated with the development of anti-DQ donor-specific antibodies and adverse graft outcomes. However, the clinical significance of broad antigen HLA-DQ mismatching for graft outcomes is not well examined.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsUsing the United Network Organ Sharing/the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (UNOS/OPTN) data, patients with primary kidney transplants performed between 2005 and 2014 were included. Patients were classified as having either zero HLA-DQ mismatches, or one or two HLA-DQ mismatches. Primary outcomes were death-censored graft survival and incidence of acute rejection.ResultsA total of 93,782 patients were included. Of these, 22,730 (24%) and 71,052 (76%) received zero and one or two HLA-DQ mismatched kidneys, respectively. After adjusting for variables including HLA-ABDR, HLA-DQ mismatching was associated with a higher risk of graft loss in living kidney donor recipients with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.18 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.07 to 1.30; P<0.01), but not in deceased kidney donor recipients (HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.98 to 1.12; P=0.18) (P value for interaction <0.01). When taking cold ischemic time into account, HLA-DQ mismatching was associated with a higher risk of graft loss in deceased kidney donor recipients with cold ischemic time ≤17 hours (HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.27; P=0.002), but not in deceased kidney donor recipients with cold ischemic time >17 hours (HR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.88 to 1.06; P=0.49) (P value for interaction <0.01). Recipients with one or two HLA-DQ mismatched kidneys had a higher incidence of acute rejection at 1 year, with adjusted odds ratios of 1.13 (95% CI, 1.03 to 1.23; P<0.01) in deceased donor and 1.14 (95% CI, 1.03 to 1.27; P=0.02) in living donor kidney transplant recipients. Specific donor-DQ mismatches seemed to be associated with the risk of acute rejection and graft failure, whereas others did not.ConclusionsHLA-DQ mismatching is associated with lower graft survival independent of HLA-ABDR in living donor kidney transplants and deceased donor kidney transplants with cold ischemia time ≤17 hours, and a higher 1-year risk of acute rejection in living and deceased donor kidney transplants.

Abstract β-1,4-mannosylglycoprotein 4-β-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (MGAT3) is a key molecule for the innate immune system. We tested the hypothesis that intronic antisense long non-coding RNA, MGAT3-AS1, can predict delayed allograft function after kidney transplantation. We prospectively assessed kidney function and MGAT3-AS1 in 129 incident deceased donor kidney transplant recipients before and after transplantation. MGAT3-AS1 levels were measured in mononuclear cells using qRT-PCR. Delayed graft function was defined by at least one dialysis session within 7 days of transplantation. Delayed graft function occurred in 22 out of 129 transplant recipients (17%). Median MGAT3-AS1 after transplantation was significantly lower in patients with delayed graft function compared to patients with immediate graft function (6.5 × 10−6, IQR 3.0 × 10−6 to 8.4 × 10−6; vs. 8.3 × 10−6, IQR 5.0 × 10−6 to 12.8 × 10−6; p < 0.05). The median preoperative MGAT3-AS1 was significantly lower in kidney recipients with delayed graft function (5.1 × 10−6, IQR, 2.4 × 10−6 to 6.8 × 10−6) compared to recipients with immediate graft function (8.9 × 10−6, IQR, 6.8 × 10−6 to 13.4 × 10−6; p < 0.05). Receiver-operator characteristics showed that preoperative MGAT3-AS1 predicted delayed graft function (area under curve, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.65 to 1.00; p < 0.01). We observed a positive predictive value of 0.57, and a negative predictive value of 0.95. Long non-coding RNA, MGAT3-AS1, indicates short-term outcome in patients with deceased donor kidney transplantation.

Abstract Background Delayed graft function (DGF) is closely associated with the use of marginal donated kidneys due to deficits during transplantation and in recipients. We aimed to predict the incidence of DGF and evaluate its effect on graft survival. Methods This retrospective study on kidney transplantation was conducted from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019, at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. We classified recipients whose operations were performed in different years into training and validation cohorts and used data from the training cohort to analyze predictors of DGF. A nomogram was then constructed to predict the likelihood of DGF based on these predictors. Results The incidence rate of DGF was 16.92%. Binary logistic regression analysis showed correlations between the incidence of DGF and cold ischemic time (CIT), warm ischemic time (WIT), terminal serum creatine (Scr) concentration, duration of pretransplant dialysis, primary cause of donor death, and usage of LifePort. The internal accuracy of the nomogram was 83.12%. One-year graft survival rates were 93.59 and 99.74%, respectively, for the groups with and without DGF (P < 0.05). Conclusion The nomogram established in this study showed good accuracy in predicting DGF after deceased donor kidney transplantation; additionally, DGF decreased one-year graft survival.
