Abstract
The ECM (extracellular matrix) is a major component of the vascular microenvironment that modulates vascular homeostasis. ECM proteins include collagens, elastin, noncollagen glycoproteins, and proteoglycans/glycosaminoglycans. ECM proteins form complex matrix structures, such as the basal lamina and collagen and elastin fibers, through direct interactions or lysyl oxidase-mediated cross-linking. Moreover, ECM proteins directly interact with cell surface receptors or extracellular secreted molecules, exerting matricellular and matricrine modulation, respectively. In addition, extracellular proteases degrade or cleave matrix proteins, thereby contributing to ECM turnover. These interactions constitute the ECM interactome network, which is essential for maintaining vascular homeostasis and preventing pathological vascular remodeling. The current review mainly focuses on endogenous matrix proteins in blood vessels and discusses the interaction of these matrix proteins with other ECM proteins, cell surface receptors, cytokines, complement and coagulation factors, and their potential roles in maintaining vascular homeostasis and preventing pathological remodeling.

Abstract
Pathway Data Integration Portal (PathDIP) is an integrated pathway database that was developed to increase functional gene annotation coverage and reduce bias in pathway enrichment analysis. PathDIP 5 provides multiple improvements to enable more interpretable analysis: users can perform enrichment analysis using all sources, separate sources or by combining specific pathway subsets; they can select the types of sources to use or the types of pathways for the analysis, reducing the number of resulting generic pathways or pathways not related to users' research question; users can use API. All pathways have been mapped to seven representative types. The results of pathway enrichment can be summarized through knowledge-based pathway consolidation. All curated pathways were mapped to 53 pathway ontology-based categories. In addition to genes, pathDIP 5 now includes metabolites. We updated existing databases, included two new sources, PathBank and MetabolicAtlas, and removed outdated databases. We enable users to analyse their results using Drugst.One, where a drug-gene network is created using only the user's genes in a specific pathway. Interpreting the results of any analysis is now improved by multiple charts on all the results pages. PathDIP 5 is freely available at https://ophid.utoronto.ca/pathDIP.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Multi-omics approach has advanced our knowledge on transplantation-associated clinical outcomes, such as acute rejection and infection, and emerging omics data are becoming available in kidney transplant and COVID-19. Herein, we discuss updated findings of multi-omics data on kidney transplant outcomes, as well as COVID-19 and kidney transplant. Recent Findings Transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics revealed various inflammation pathways associated with kidney transplantation-related outcomes and COVID-19. Although multi-omics data on kidney transplant and COVID-19 is limited, activation of innate immune pathways and suppression of adaptive immune pathways were observed in the active phase of COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients. Summary Multi-omics analysis has led us to a deeper exploration and a more comprehensive understanding of key biological pathways in complex clinical settings, such as kidney transplantation and COVID-19. Future multi-omics analysis leveraging multi-center biobank collaborative will further advance our knowledge on the precise immunological responses to allograft and emerging pathogens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment option for most patients with end-stage kidney disease given the significantly lower morbidity and mortality rates compared to remaining on dialysis. Rejection and graft failure remain common in transplant recipients with limited improvement in long-term transplant outcomes despite therapeutic advances. There is an unmet need in the development of non-invasive biomarkers that specifically monitor graft function and predict transplant pathologies that affect outcomes. Despite the potential of proteomic investigatory approaches, up to now, no candidate biomarkers of sufficient sensitivity or specificity have translated into clinical use. The aim of this review was to collate and summarise protein findings and protein pathways implicated in the literature to date, and potentially flag putative biomarkers worth validating in independent patient cohorts. METHODS This review followed the Joanna Briggs' Institute Methodology for a scoping review. MedlineALL, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus and Google Scholar databases were searched from inception until December 2022. Abstract and full text review were undertaken independently by two reviewers. Data was collated using a pre-designed data extraction tool. RESULTS One hundred one articles met the inclusion criteria. The majority were single-centre retrospective studies of small sample size. Mass spectrometry was the most used technique to evaluate differentially expressed proteins between diagnostic groups and studies identified various candidate biomarkers such as immune or structural proteins. DISCUSSION Putative immune or structural protein candidate biomarkers have been identified using proteomic techniques in multiple sample types including urine, serum and fluid used to perfuse donor kidneys. The most consistent findings implicated proteins associated with tubular dysfunction and immunological regulatory pathways such as leukocyte trafficking. However, clinical translation and adoption of candidate biomarkers is limited, and these will require comprehensive evaluation in larger prospective, multicentre trials.

Abstract
Solid organ transplantation is an established treatment of choice for end-stage organ failure. However, all transplant patients are at risk of developing complications, including allograft rejection and death. Histological analysis of graft biopsy is still the gold standard for evaluation of allograft injury, but it is an invasive procedure and prone to sampling errors. The past decade has seen an increased number of efforts to develop minimally invasive procedures for monitoring allograft injury. Despite the recent progress, limitations such as the complexity of proteomics-based technology, the lack of standardization, and the heterogeneity of populations that have been included in different studies have hindered proteomic tools from reaching clinical transplantation. This review focuses on the role of proteomics-based platforms in biomarker discovery and validation in solid organ transplantation. We also emphasize the value of biomarkers that provide potential mechanistic insights into the pathophysiology of allograft injury, dysfunction, or rejection. Additionally, we forecast that the growth of publicly available data sets, combined with computational methods that effectively integrate them, will facilitate a generation of more informed hypotheses for potential subsequent evaluation in preclinical and clinical studies. Finally, we illustrate the value of combining data sets through the integration of 2 independent data sets that pinpointed hub proteins in antibody-mediated rejection.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation (KT) is the optimal therapeutic strategy for patients with end-stage renal disease. The key to post-transplantation management is careful surveillance of allograft function. Kidney injury may occur from several different causes that require different patient management approaches. However, routine clinical monitoring has several limitations and detects alterations only at a later stage of graft damage. Accurate new noninvasive biomarker molecules are clearly needed for continuous monitoring after KT in the hope that early diagnosis of allograft dysfunction will lead to an improvement in the clinical outcome. The advent of “omics sciences”, and in particular of proteomic technologies, has revolutionized medical research. Proteomic technologies allow us to achieve the identification, quantification, and functional characterization of proteins/peptides in biological samples such as urine or blood through supervised or targeted analysis. Many studies have investigated proteomic techniques as potential molecular markers discriminating among or predicting allograft outcomes. Proteomic studies in KT have explored the whole transplant process: donor, organ procurement, preservation, and posttransplant surgery. The current article reviews the most recent findings on proteomic studies in the setting of renal transplantation in order to better understand the effective potential of this new diagnostic approach.

Abstract
Knowledge of the transcriptional programs underpinning the functions of human kidney cell populations at homeostasis is limited. We present a single-cell perspective of healthy human kidney from 19 living donors, with equal contribution from males and females, profiling the transcriptome of 27677 cells to map human kidney at high resolution. Sex-based differences in gene expression within proximal tubular cells were observed, specifically, increased anti-oxidant metallothionein genes in females and aerobic metabolism-related genes in males. Functional differences in metabolism were confirmed in proximal tubular cells, with male cells exhibiting higher oxidative phosphorylation and higher levels of energy precursor metabolites. We identified kidney-specific lymphocyte populations with unique transcriptional profiles indicative of kidney-adapted functions. Significant heterogeneity in myeloid cells was observed, with a MRC1+LYVE1+FOLR2+C1QC+ population representing a predominant population in healthy kidney. This study provides a detailed cellular map of healthy human kidney, and explores the complexity of parenchymal and kidney-resident immune cells.

Abstract
Dysregulated extracellular matrix is the hallmark of fibrosis, and it has a profound impact on kidney function in disease. Furthermore, perturbation of matrix homeostasis is a feature of aging and is associated with declining kidney function. Understanding these dynamic processes, in the hope of developing therapies to combat matrix dysregulation, requires the integration of data acquired by both well-established and novel technologies. Owing to its complexity, the extracellular proteome, or matrisome, still holds many secrets and has great potential for the identification of clinical biomarkers and drug targets. The molecular resolution of matrix composition during aging and disease has been illuminated by cutting-edge mass spectrometry-based proteomics in recent years, but there remain key questions about the mechanisms that drive altered matrix composition. Basement membrane components are particularly important in the context of kidney function; and data from proteomic studies suggest that switches between basement membrane and interstitial matrix proteins are likely to contribute to organ dysfunction during aging and disease. Understanding the impact of such changes on physical properties of the matrix, and the subsequent cellular response to altered stiffness and viscoelasticity, is of critical importance. Likewise, the comparison of proteomic data sets from multiple organs is required to identify common matrix biomarkers and shared pathways for therapeutic intervention. Coupled with single-cell transcriptomics, there is the potential to identify the cellular origin of matrix changes, which could enable cell-targeted therapy. This review provides a contemporary perspective of the complex kidney matrisome and draws comparison to altered matrix in heart and liver disease.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can progress to kidney failure and require dialysis or transplantation, while early diagnosis can alter the course of disease and lead to better outcomes in both pediatric and adult patients. Significant CKD comorbidities include the manifestation of cardiovascular disease, heart failure, coronary disease, and hypertension. The pathogenesis of chronic kidney diseases can present as subtle and especially difficult to distinguish between different glomerular pathologies. Early detection of adult and pediatric CKD and detailed mechanistic understanding of the kidney damage can be helpful in delaying or curtailing disease progression via precise intervention toward diagnosis and prognosis. Clinically, serum creatinine and albumin levels can be indicative of CKD, but often are a lagging indicator only significantly affected once kidney function has severely diminished. The evolution of proteomics and mass spectrometry technologies has begun to provide a powerful research tool in defining these mechanisms and identifying novel biomarkers of CKD. Many of the same challenges and advances in proteomics apply to adult and pediatric patient populations. Additionally, proteomic analysis of adult CKD patients can be transferred directly toward advancing our knowledge of pediatric CKD as well. In this review, we highlight applications of proteomics that have yielded such biomarkers as PLA2R, SEMA3B, and other markers of membranous nephropathy as well as KIM-1, MCP-1, and NGAL in lupus nephritis among other potential diagnostic and prognostic markers. The potential for improving the clinical toolkit toward better treatment of pediatric kidney diseases is significantly aided by current and future development of proteomic applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) has emerged as the leading cause of late graft loss in kidney transplant recipients. Donor-specific antibodies are an independent risk factor for AMR and graft loss. However, not all donor-specific antibodies are pathogenic. AMR treatment is heterogeneous due to the lack of robust trials to support clinical decisions. This review provides an overview and comments on practical but relevant dilemmas physicians experience in managing kidney transplant recipients with AMR. RECENT FINDINGS Active AMR with donor-specific antibodies may be treated with plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids with additional therapies considered on a case-by-case basis. On the contrary, no treatment has been shown to be effective against chronic active AMR. Various biomarkers and prediction models to assess the individual risk of graft failure and response to rejection treatment show promise. SUMMARY The ability to personalize management for a given kidney transplant recipient and identify treatments that will improve their long-term outcome remains a critical unmet need. Earlier identification of AMR with noninvasive biomarkers and prediction models to assess the individual risk of graft failure should be considered. Enrolling patients with AMR in clinical trials to assess novel therapeutic agents is highly encouraged.

Abstract
The 13th International Podocyte Conference was held in Manchester, UK, and online from July 28 to 30, 2021. Originally planned for 2020, this biannual meeting was postponed by a year because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and proceeded as an innovative hybrid meeting. In addition to in-person attendance, online registration was offered, and this attracted 490 conference registrations in total. As a Podocyte Conference first, a day for early-career researchers was introduced. This premeeting included talks from graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. It gave early career researchers the opportunity to ask a panel, comprising academic leaders and journal editors, about career pathways and the future for podocyte research. The main meeting over 3 days included a keynote talk and 4 focused sessions each day incorporating invited talks, followed by selected abstract presentations, and an open panel discussion. The conference concluded with a Patient Day, which brought together patients, clinicians, researchers, and industry representatives. The Patient Day was an interactive and diverse day. As well as updates on improving diagnosis and potential new therapies, the Patient Day included a PodoArt competition, exercise and cooking classes with practical nutrition advice, and inspirational stories from patients and family members. This review summarizes the exciting science presented during the 13th International Podocyte Conference and demonstrates the resilience of researchers during a global pandemic.

The Potential Diagnostic Value of Immune-Related Genes in Interstitial Fibrosis and Tubular Atrophy after Kidney Transplantation. J Immunol Res 2022; 2022:7212852. [PMID: 35755170 PMCID: PMC9232312 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7212852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Inflammation within areas of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA) is associated with kidney allograft failure. The aim of this study was to reveal new diagnostic markers of IF/TA based on bioinformatics analysis. Methods Raw data of IF/TA samples after kidney transplantation and control samples after kidney transplantation were extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE76882 and GSE120495 datasets), and genes that were differentially expressed between the two groups (DEGs) were screened. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), ESTIMATE and single sample GSEA (ssGSEA), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis, and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network were used to analyze the data. Results The results of GSEA revealed that multiple immune-related pathways were enriched in the IF/TA group, and subsequent immune landscape analysis also showed that the IF/TA group had higher immune and stromal scores and up to 15 types of immune cells occupied them, such as B cells, cytotoxic cells, and T cells. LASSO regression analysis selected 6 (including ANGPTL3, APOH, LTF, FCGR2B, HLA-DQA2, and EGF) out of 14 DE-IRGs as diagnostic genes to construct a diagnostic model. Then, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed the powerful diagnostic value of the model, and the area under the curve (AUC) of a single diagnostic gene was greater than 0.75. The results of ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) also indicated that DEGs were involved in the immune system and kidney disease-related pathways. Finally, we found multiple miRNAs that could regulate diagnostic genes from the ceRNA network. Conclusion This study identified 6 IF/TA-related genes, which might be used as a new diagnosis model in the clinical practice.

Abstract
Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is one of the major causes of graft loss after transplantation. Recently, the regulation of B cell differentiation and the prevention of donor-specific antibody (DSA) production have gained increased attention in transplant research. Herein, we established a secondary allogeneic in vivo skin transplant model to study the effects of romidepsin (FK228) on DSA. The survival of grafted skins was monitored daily. The serum levels of DSA and the number of relevant immunocytes in the recipient spleens were evaluated by flow cytometry. Then, we isolated and purified B cells from B6 mouse spleens in vitro by magnetic bead sorting. The B cells were cultured with interleukin-4 (IL-4) and anti-clusters of differentiation 40 (CD40) antibody with or without FK228 treatment. The immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and IgM levels in the supernatant were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting were conducted to determine the corresponding levels of messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression in cultured cells and the recipient spleens. The results showed that FK228 significantly improved the survival of allogeneic skin grafts. Moreover, FK228 inhibited DSA production in the serum along with the suppression of histone deacetylase 1 (HADC1) and HDAC2 and the upregulation of the acetylation of histones H2A and H3. It also inhibited the differentiation of B cells to plasma cells, decreased the transcription of positive regulatory domain-containing 1 (Prdm1) and X-box-binding protein 1 (Xbp1), and decreased the expression of phosphorylated inositol-requiring enzyme 1 α (p-IRE1α), XBP1, and B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1 (Blimp-1). In conclusion, FK228 could decrease the production of antibodies by B cells via inhibition of the IRE1α-XBP1 signaling pathway. Thus, FK228 is considered as a promising therapeutic agent for the clinical treatment of AMR.

Abstract
It is important to determine the clinical significance of non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies and their association with antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) of kidney allografts. We collected post-transplant sera from 68 ABMR patients, 67 T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR) patients, and 83 control subjects without rejection, and determined the titers of 39 non-HLA antibodies including antibodies for angiotensin II receptor type I and MICA. We compared all these non-HLA antibody titers among the study groups. Then, we investigated their association with the risk of death-censored graft failure in ABMR cases. Among the antibodies evaluated, anti-collagen type I (p = 0.001) and type III (p < 0.001) antibody titers were significantly higher in ABMR cases than in both TCMR cases and no-rejection controls. Both anti-collagen type I [per 1 standard deviation (SD), adjusted odds ratio (OR), 11.72 (2.73-76.30)] and type III [per 1 SD, adjusted OR, 6.22 (1.91-31.75)] antibodies were significantly associated with the presence of ABMR. Among ABMR cases, a higher level of anti-collagen type I [per 1 SD, adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 1.90 (1.32-2.75)] or type III per 1 SD, [adjusted HR, 1.57 (1.15-2.16)] antibody was associated with a higher risk of death-censored graft failure. In conclusion, post-transplant anti-collagen type I and type III antibodies may be novel non-HLA antibodies related to ABMR of kidney allografts.

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the most commonly used host cell lines for therapeutic protein production. Exposure of these cells to highly concentrated feed solution during fed-batch cultivation can lead to a non-physiological increase in osmolality (> 300 mOsm/kg) that affects cell physiology, morphology, and proteome. As addressed in previous studies (and indeed, as recently addressed in our research), hyperosmolalities of up to 545 mOsm/kg force cells to abort proliferation and gradually increase their volume—almost tripling it. At the same time, CHO cells also show a significant hyperosmolality-dependent increase in mitochondrial activity. To gain deeper insight into the molecular mechanisms that are involved in these processes, as detailed in this paper, we performed a comparative quantitative label-free proteome study of hyperosmolality-exposed CHO cells compared with control cells. Our analysis revealed differentially expressed key proteins that mediate mitochondrial activation, oxidative stress amelioration, and cell cycle progression. Our studies also demonstrate a previously unknown effect: the strong regulation of proteins can alter both cell membrane stiffness and permeability. For example, we observed that three types of septins (filamentous proteins that form diffusion barriers in the cell) became strongly up-regulated in response to hyperosmolality in the experimental setup. Overall, these new observations correlate well with recent CHO-based fluxome and transcriptome studies, and reveal additional unknown proteins involved in the response to hyperosmotic pressure by over-concentrated feed in mammalian cells. Key points • First-time comparative proteome analysis of CHO cells exposed to over-concentrated feed. • Discovery of membrane barrier-forming proteins up-regulation under hyperosmolality. • Description of mitochondrial and protein chaperones activation in treated cells.

The Proteome of Antibody-Mediated Rejection: From Glomerulitis to Transplant Glomerulopathy. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10030569. [PMID: 35327371 PMCID: PMC8945687 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10030569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is the leading cause of allograft failure in kidney transplantation. Its histological hallmark is represented by lesions of glomerulitis i.e., inflammatory cells within glomeruli. Current therapies for ABMR fail to prevent chronic allograft damage i.e., transplant glomerulopathy, leading to allograft loss. We used laser microdissection of glomeruli from formalin-fixed allograft biopsies combined with mass spectrometry-based proteomics to describe the proteome modification of 11 active and 10 chronic active ABMR cases compared to 8 stable graft controls. Of 1335 detected proteins, 77 were deregulated in glomerulitis compared to stable grafts, particularly involved in cellular stress mediated by interferons type I and II, leukocyte activation and microcirculation remodeling. Three proteins extracted from this protein profile, TYMP, WARS1 and GBP1, showed a consistent overexpression by immunohistochemistry in glomerular endothelial cells that may represent relevant markers of endothelial stress during active ABMR. In transplant glomerulopathy, 137 proteins were deregulated, which favor a complement-mediated mechanism, wound healing processes through coagulation activation and ultimately a remodeling of the glomerular extracellular matrix, as observed by light microscopy. This study brings novel information on glomerular proteomics of ABMR in kidney transplantation, and highlights potential targets of diagnostic and therapeutic interest.

Abstract
Microarray analyses usually result in a list of differential genes that need to be annotated to link them the phenotype being studied, help planning validation experiments and interpretation of the results. Pathway enrichment analyses are frequently used for such purpose, where pathways are human created models of molecular activities and processes. While different types of pathway enrichment are available, we focus this protocol on the most frequent type-overrepresentation analysis. Many databases collect different sets of pathways and curate different sets of genes for the same pathways, so it is important to carefully choose the most suitable pathway source to perform enrichment analysis. To provide a comprehensive pathway analysis, in this protocol we will use pathDIP, which supports comprehensive enrichment analysis by integrating 22 main pathway databases. We will also describe the steps needed to visualize the enriched pathways using GSOAP.

Combined proteomic/transcriptomic signature of recurrence post-liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma beyond Milan. Clin Proteomics 2021; 18:27. [PMID: 34794390 PMCID: PMC8600773 DOI: 10.1186/s12014-021-09333-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and aims Liver transplantation (LT) can be offered to patients with Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond Milan criteria. However, there are currently limited molecular markers on HCC explant histology to predict recurrence, which arises in up to 20% of LT recipients. The goal of our study was to derive a combined proteomic/transcriptomic signature on HCC explant predictive of recurrence post-transplant using unbiased, high-throughput approaches. Methods Patients who received a LT for HCC beyond Milan criteria in the context of hepatitis B cirrhosis were identified. Tumor explants from patients with post-transplant HCC recurrence (N = 7) versus those without recurrence (N = 4) were analyzed by mass spectrometry and gene expression array. Univariate analysis was used to generate a combined proteomic/transcriptomic signature linked to recurrence. Significantly predictive genes and proteins were verified and internally validated by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. Results Seventy-nine proteins and 636 genes were significantly differentially expressed in HCC tumors with subsequent recurrence (p < 0.05). Univariate survival analysis identified Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1 Family Member A1 (ALDH1A1) gene (HR = 0.084, 95%CI 0.01–0.68, p = 0.0152), ALDH1A1 protein (HR = 0.039, 95%CI 0.16–0.91, p = 0.03), Galectin 3 Binding Protein (LGALS3BP) gene (HR = 7.14, 95%CI 1.20–432.96, p = 0.03), LGALS3BP protein (HR = 2.6, 95%CI 1.1–6.1, p = 0.036), Galectin 3 (LGALS3) gene (HR = 2.89, 95%CI 1.01–8.3, p = 0.049) and LGALS3 protein (HR = 2.6, 95%CI 1.2–5.5, p = 0.015) as key dysregulated analytes in recurrent HCC. In concordance with our proteome findings, HCC recurrence was linked to decreased ALDH1A1 and increased LGALS3 protein expression by Western Blot. LGALS3BP protein expression was validated in 29 independent HCC samples. Conclusions Significantly increased LGALS3 and LGALS3BP gene and protein expression on explant were associated with post-transplant recurrence, whereas increased ALDH1A1 was associated with absence of recurrence in patients transplanted for HCC beyond Milan criteria. This combined proteomic/transcriptomic signature could help in predicting HCC recurrence risk and guide post-transplant surveillance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulation of extracellular matrix in organs and tissues is a feature of both aging and disease. In the kidney, glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis accompany the decline in function, which current therapies cannot address, leading to organ failure. Although histologic and ultrastructural patterns of excess matrix form the basis of human disease classifications, a comprehensive molecular resolution of abnormal matrix is lacking. METHODS Using mass spectrometry-based proteomics, we resolved matrix composition over age in mouse models of kidney disease. We compared the changes in mice with a global characterization of human kidneymatrix during aging and to existing kidney disease datasets to identify common molecular features. RESULTS Ultrastructural changes in basement membranes are associated with altered cell adhesion and metabolic processes and with distinct matrix proteomes during aging and kidney disease progression in mice. Within the altered matrix, basement membrane components (laminins, type IV collagen, type XVIII collagen) were reduced and interstitial matrix proteins (collagens I, III, VI, and XV; fibrinogens; and nephronectin) were increased, a pattern also seen in human kidney aging. Indeed, this signature of matrix proteins was consistently modulated across all age and disease comparisons, and the increase in interstitial matrix was also observed in human kidney disease datasets. CONCLUSIONS This study provides deep molecular resolution of matrix accumulation in kidney aging and disease, and identifies a common signature of proteins that provides insight into mechanisms of response to kidney injury and repair.

Normothermic Ex-vivo Kidney Perfusion in a Porcine Auto-Transplantation Model Preserves the Expression of Key Mitochondrial Proteins: An Unbiased Proteomics Analysis.

Abstract
Normothermic ex-vivo kidney perfusion (NEVKP) results in significantly improved graft function in porcine auto-transplant models of donation after circulatory death injury compared with static cold storage (SCS); however, the molecular mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects remain unclear. We performed an unbiased proteomics analysis of 28 kidney biopsies obtained at three time points from pig kidneys subjected to 30 min of warm ischemia, followed by 8 h of NEVKP or SCS, and auto-transplantation. 70/6593 proteins quantified were differentially expressed between NEVKP and SCS groups (false discovery rate < 0.05). Proteins increased in NEVKP mediated key metabolic processes including fatty acid ß-oxidation, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Comparison of our findings with external datasets of ischemia-reperfusion and other models of kidney injury confirmed that 47 of our proteins represent a common signature of kidney injury reversed or attenuated by NEVKP. We validated key metabolic proteins (electron transfer flavoprotein subunit beta and carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase 2, mitochondrial) by immunoblotting. Transcription factor databases identified members of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) family of transcription factors as the upstream regulators of our dataset, and we confirmed increased expression of PPARA, PPARD, and RXRA in NEVKP with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The proteome-level changes observed in NEVKP mediate critical metabolic pathways. These effects may be coordinated by PPAR-family transcription factors and may represent novel therapeutic targets in ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Background Galectins are proteins that bind β-galactosides such as N-acetyllactosamine present in N-linked and O-linked glycoproteins and that seem to be implicated in inflammatory and immune responses as well as fibrotic mechanisms. This preliminary study investigated serum galectins as clinical biomarkers in lung transplant patients with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), phenotype bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Materials and Methods Nineteen lung transplant patients [median age (IQR), 55 (45–62) years; 53% males] were enrolled in the study. Peripheral blood concentrations of galectins-1, 3 and 9 were determined with commercial ELISA kits. Results Galectin-1 concentrations were higher in BOS than in stable LTX patients (p = 0.0394). In logistic regression analysis, testing BOS group as dependent variable with Gal-1 and 3 as independent variables, area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) curve was 98.9% (NPV 90% and PPV 88.9%, p = 0.0003). With the stable LTX group as dependent variable and Gal-1, 3 and 9 as independent variables, AUROC was 92.6% (NPV 100% and PPV 90%, p = 0.0023). In stable patients were observed an inverse correlation of Gal-3 with DLCO% and KCO%, and between Gal-9 and KCO%. Conclusion Galectins-1, 3 and 9 are possible clinical biomarkers in lung transplant patients with diagnostic and prognostic meaning. These molecules may be directly implicated in the pathological mechanisms of BOS. The hypothesis that they could be new therapeutic targets in BOS patients is intriguing and also worth exploring.

Abstract
Allograft functional failure due to acute or chronic rejection has long been a major concern in the area of solid organ transplantation for decades. As critical component of innate immune system, the macrophages are unlikely to be exclusive for driving acute or chronic sterile inflammation against allografts. Traditionally, macrophages are classified into two types, M1 and M2 like macrophages, based on their functions. M1 macrophages are involved in acute rejection for triggering sterile inflammation thus lead to tissue damage and poor allograft survival, while M2 macrophages represent contradictory features, playing pivotal roles in both anti-inflammation and development of graft fibrosis and resulting in chronic rejection. Macrophages also contribute to allograft vasculopathy, but the phenotypes remain to be identified. Moreover, increasing evidences are challenging traditional identification and classification of macrophage in various diseases. Better understanding the role of macrophage in chronic rejection is fundamental to developing innovative strategies for preventing late graft loss. In this review, we will update the recent progress in our understanding of diversity of macrophage-dominated innate immune response, and reveal the roles of M2 macrophages in chronic allograft rejection as well.
