Abstract
Background
Recipient's VEGF-A polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with the risk of acute allograft rejection. However, an association of the donor's VEGF-A gene polymorphism with rejection remained unelucidated till now.
Methods
In this study, VEGF-A gene SNPs at nine loci were analyzed in 160 kidney donors and recipients with rejection (rejectors, n = 80) and without rejection (non-rejectors, n = 80). Blood VEGF-A mRNA, plasma VEGF level, and intragraft VEGF expression were also analyzed by RT-PCR, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry, respectively.
Results
On comparing between the donor and rejectors, the polymorphic genotypes of VEGF –634 C>G [GG genotype, p < 0.0001; OR (95% CI) = 17.74 (5.16–60.96)]; VEGF –1154 G>A [AG genotype, p < 0.0001, OR (95% CI) = 16.07 (3.68–70.15)]; VEGF +936 C>T [CT genotype, p < 0.0001, OR (95% CI) = 178.64 (23.28–1370.9), and TT genotype, p < 0.0001; OR (95% CI) = 3149 (278.91–35 553)]; VEGF –1455 T>C [CC genotype, p value = 0.0464, OR (95% CI) = 3.13 (1.07–9.10)]; VEGF –2578 C>A [CA genotype, p = 0.0426, OR (95% CI) = 4.62 (1.03–20.59), and AA genotype, p value < 0.0001, OR (95% CI) = 21.89 (4.94–97.04)]; VEGF –2549 18 bp Insertion/Deletion [ID genotype, p value < 0.0001, OR (95% CI) = 27.27 (3.61–205.73) and DD genotype, p value < 0.0001, OR (95% CI) = 25.18 (3.30–191.89) were significantly associated with acute rejection risk. On comparing rejectors versus non-rejectors, GA genotype of VEGF –1190 G>A and TC genotype of VEGF –1455 T>C were associated with the risk of rejection. On comparing donor VEGF between rejectors and non-rejectors, CG genotype of VEGF –634 C>G, AG of VEGF –1154 G>A; GA of VEGF –1190 G>A were associated with rejection. The blood VEGF-A mRNA and plasma VEGF levels were higher in the rejectors group compared to non-rejectors.
Conclusions
Besides the recipient's VEGF SNPS, the donor's VEGF SNPs are also associated with the risk of acute rejection and may be closely monitored in evaluation to determine the risk of rejection.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
