Fifteen NHPs received rhesus ATG induction and were divided in three groups: control (n=6), pre-transplant thymic irradiation (TI, n=4), and TI with monthly donor-MSC infusion (n=5). Sirolimus was discontinued at day-180, and belatacept at day-365 post-transplantation. In humans, six patients enrolled in ITN062ST underwent transplantation with alemtuzumab induction; four received 12 monthly donor-MSC infusions followed by immunosuppression withdrawal (ISW) if eligible. Donor-MSC infusion was acutely well-tolerated in humans and NHPs. Chimerism was not established, and tolerance was not induced in either study. Two of five NHPs that received MSCs rejected while on belatacept monotherapy with detectable donor-specific antibody (DSA). Two patients did not initiate ISW due to de novo DSA and borderline rejection, and two patients failed ISW due to reversible rejection. In conclusion, donor-MSCs can be given to NHPs or humans repeatedly without acute consequences, but they neither lead to detectable chimerism nor induce tolerance.

The HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act, enacted in 2015, allowed transplants from donors with HIV to recipients with HIV (HIV D+/R+) under research protocols. Studies have since demonstrated overall comparable outcomes between HIV D+/R+ and HIV D-/R+ transplants, leading to the removal of the research requirement for HIV D+/R+ kidney and liver transplants in November 2024. However, some remaining medical concerns and systemic barriers still need to be addressed, especially for centers that did not participate in the HOPE Act. This manuscript reviews the history, evidence, and key considerations for HIV D+/R+ kidney and liver transplants. Furthermore, a roadmap for implementation, emphasizing the need for reviewing local regulations, establishing multidisciplinary teams, developing personalized protocols, providing medical and culture training, engaging organ procurement organizations and local PWH community, and continuing data collection and quality improvement, is discussed. The removal of research restrictions offers a critical opportunity to reduce disparities in transplant access for PWH. Transplant providers should embrace this opportunity to expand access while continuing to address the remaining medical and systemic challenges to ensure that more PWH receive life-saving transplants.","PeriodicalId":123,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Transplantation","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143982456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Competing risk and Cox regression models assessed the impact of height on waitlist outcomes, including an interaction term between height and allocation era to assess effect modification. Of the 9,383 candidates identified, those >176.5 cm had an increased likelihood of transplantation (sHR 1.15) compared to the 170-176.5 cm group, while those ≤162 cm had a lower likelihood (sHR 0.70). The overall likelihood of transplantation was higher in the CAS era (sHR 1.17); The interaction term for height ≤162 cm and CAS era was significant (sHR 1.15), suggesting a modest improvement in access for this group under CAS. Further, candidates ≤162 cm experienced a higher hazard of mortality in the CAS era (HR 1.60).

Activation of the lectin complement pathway is one mediator of IRI. In this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled pilot study, we tested whether pre-implantation intragraft administration of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH, a lectin/classical pathway inhibitor) into deceased donor organs improves graft function and/or reduces DGF. Forty patients were randomized 1:1 to receive allografts treated with 500 units C1INH or placebo (normal saline) into the transplant renal artery during back-table preparation. We observed no effect on DGF, but recipients of C1INH-treated allografts showed higher eGFR vs. placebo at 6 months (C1INH median: 55 ml/min/1.73 m2, IQR: 42-63; placebo median: 39 ml/min/1.73 m2, IQR 34-50; p=0.02) and 30 months (C1INH median: 54 ml/min/1.73 m2, IQR: 47-66; placebo median: 43 ml/min/1.73 m2, IQR 38-51; p=0.03) without differences in adverse events. Analysis of post-reperfusion biopsies showed positive intra-arterial C1INH staining and reduced C4d staining in C1INH-treated grafts vs controls. Post-transplant serum MBL and classical pathway activity and bradykinin levels did not differ between study arms.

The development cohort included 664 renal allograft biopsies split into a training (n=537) and test set (n=127), and two external validation cohorts (n=286). We performed gene selection using regularized regression and developed several different base models based on B-HOT expression data, which were combined into a single ensemble model for each rejection diagnosis.

A subset of MVI≥2 patients showed pretransplant high proportions and numbers of oligoclonal iKIR-MM NK cells, which displayed an NKG2C(+) adaptive phenotype associated with cytomegalovirus infection.

This multicenter cohort study (N=5323 kidney transplants, N=16774 post-transplant biopsies) evaluated the impact of v-lesions (N=707 v-positive biopsies in N=534 transplants) on biopsy classification and outcomes. The first v-positive biopsy of each transplant was categorized by additional Banff TCMR/(p)AMR-MVI criteria: 166 (31.1%) isolated v, 87 (16.3%) borderline changes with v, 66 (12.4%) TCMR grade I (TCMR-I) with v, 148 (27.7%) (p)AMR-MVI ((probable) AMR/DSAnegC4dneg MVI) with v, and 67 (12.5%) TCMR-I + (p)AMR-MVI with v. Cases with additional TCMR/(p)AMR-MVI criteria were more often indication biopsies, had lower eGFR, and were more frequently HLA-DSA positive than isolated v. While borderline changes with v had borderline higher 10-year graft failure rates than isolated v, TCMR-I, (p)AMR-MVI, and TCMR-I + (p)AMR-MVI with v were associated with significantly worse outcomes, although variably treated. Matching N=534 v-positive cases to v-negative controls showed no significant impact of v-lesions on outcomes. These findings question the role of isolated v-lesions in rejection diagnosis and emphasize the greater prognostic value of additional TCMR and (p)AMR-MVI criteria. Reconsideration of v-lesions in the Banff classification may be appropriate.","PeriodicalId":123,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Transplantation","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143921084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
