In particular, they play a pivotal role in promoting endothelial activation, complement deposition, and thrombosis, thereby compromising the graft function. In this study, we investigated the molecular and functional properties of genetically modified porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAECs) that carry a knockout of α1,3-galactosyltransferase and express human CD46 and thrombomodulin (3GM) in xenogeneic and inflammatory environments. Transcriptomic profiling revealed that these genetic modifications effectively reduced the intrinsic inflammatory and procoagulant phenotype of 3GM PAECs. Under xenogeneic activation, 3GM PAECs also exhibited minimal cellular responses distinct from those of wild-type (WT) PAECs, along with robust protection from the activation of the complement and coagulation systems. However, under inflammatory conditions, 3GM and WT PAECs showed more aligned transcriptional and functional profiles characterized by pronounced upregulation of proinflammatory and prothrombotic pathways, increased complement deposition, and a shift toward a more procoagulant state. This loss of protection during inflammatory conditions was associated with the induction of inflammatory and procoagulant mediators, including PAI-1 and uPAR, despite stable transgene expression. Collectively, these insights enhance our understanding of the complex interplay between inflammation, complement, coagulation, and immune regulation in xenotransplantation.

Declining plasma von Willebrand factor activity (vWF) and reduced graft vWF expression accompanied these changes. Integrated longitudinal hematologic monitoring, histopathology, transcriptomics, and proteomics were used to define early graft injury.

Molecular profiling revealed a dominant recipient innate immune response enriched for macrophage-mediated phagocytosis, adhesion, and proteasome pathways, alongside activation of complement and coagulation cascades.

In particular, the outcomes of GE pig kidney transplantation have been promising, with three recipients currently surviving between 3 and 9 months after transplantation. These encouraging results highlight the growing feasibility of xenotransplantation as a solution to the shortage of human donor organs. In the United States and many other countries, nearly half of all patients on kidney transplant waiting lists are diabetic. Individuals with diabetic nephropathy often achieve better outcomes when they receive both kidney and islet allotransplants, as this combination restores renal function and improves glucose control. Therefore, such patients would be ideal candidates for combined GE pig kidney and islet xenotransplantation. Because immunosuppressive therapy is essential to maintain a kidney graft, performing a simultaneous islet transplant is clinically justifiable. Studies in nonhuman primates have demonstrated that porcine islet transplantation can achieve long-term glucose regulation, supporting its translational potential.
