Functional Natural Killer-cell Genetics and Microvascular Inflammation After Kidney Transplantation: An Observational Cohort Study.
Background: Recent evidence highlights the pivotal role of natural killer (NK) cells in allograft rejection.
Methods: We explored associations of missing self and gene polymorphisms determining the phenotype and/or functionality of NK cells with microvascular inflammation (MVI) in a single-center cohort of 507 consecutive kidney transplant recipients. Patients were genotyped for killer cell Ig-like receptors and polymorphisms in 4 selected genes (FCGR3AV/F158 [rs396991], KLRC2wt/del, KLRK1HNK/LNK [rs1049174], and rs9916629-C/T).
Results: MVI was detected in 69 patients (13.6%). In a proportional odds model, the KLRC2del/del variant reduced MVI risk (odds ratio [OR] 0.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.05-0.93; P = 0.037) independent of donor-specific antibodies, HLA class II eplet mismatch, and number of biopsies. Conversely, missing self (OR 1.40; 95% CI, 1.08-1.80; P = 0.011) and the rs9916629 T/T gene variant increased the risk (OR 1.70; 95% CI, 1.08-2.68; P = 0.021). Graft loss tended to be more frequent among patients with missing self ≥2 (hazard ratio 1.97; 95% CI, 0.89-4.37; P = 0.097), without influence on estimated glomerular filtration trajectories. FCGR3A variants were associated with MVI only in patients with preformed and/or de novo donor-specific antibodies (OR 4.14; 95% CI, 0.99-17.47; P = 0.052).
Conclusions: Missing self and NK-cell genetics may contribute to MVI, underscoring the important role of NK cells in transplant rejection.
期刊介绍:

Transplantation has been the trusted source for extensive and timely coverage of the most important advances in transplantation for over 50 years. The Editors and Editorial Board are an international group of research and clinical leaders that includes many pioneers of the field, representing a diverse range of areas of expertise. This capable editorial team provides thoughtful and thorough peer review, and delivers rapid, careful and insightful editorial evaluation of all manuscripts submitted to the journal.
Transplantation is committed to rapid review and publication. The journal remains competitive with a time to first decision of fewer than 21 days. Transplantation was the first in the field to offer CME credit to its peer reviewers for reviews completed.
The journal publishes original research articles in original clinical science and original basic science. Short reports bring attention to research at the forefront of the field. Other areas covered include cell therapy and islet transplantation, immunobiology and genomics, and xenotransplantation.
