No DGF no AR AR DGF DGF + AR Ischemia reperfusion injuries • Group of lesions inflicted to the graft during the time between donor and recipient surgery • Short period of time in the case of a living donor • Much longer in the case of Brain dead donor • Average CIT in Kx Tx : 20 hours • Impact both short and long term graft outcome
Key role of the mitochondria Na+ Na+ • Each day an adult products and uses a quantity of ATP equivalent to 75 % of his body weight • In basal situation (without physical activity) , 30 % of the ATP production is used for Na+ and K+ transmembranal pumps • ATP is mainly product by the oxadative phosphorylation K+ K+

Toll receptors ARN sb TIR domain
TLR and DAMPs • Toll Like Receptors, including TLR2 and TLR4, could function as: • detectors of sterile (not pathogen-associated) injury upon binding to endogenous ligands released by damaged cells • DAMPs = „danger - associated molecular patterns“ [ Matzinger ] or „damage - associated molecular patterns“ [Land ].. • Examples of putative endogenous ligands • heat-shock proteins, • high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), • heparan sulfate, • hyaluronan fragments, • fibronectin . • ….
TLR4 Expression Human kidney biopsy before reperfusion Cold isch: 0.5 h (n=15) Cold isch: 20 h (n=9) • TLR4 is expressed in normal human kidneys • TLR4 is significantly upregulated by ischemic injury Krüger et al. Blood 2009

Danger Signal Theory…seen by a surgeon Allorecognition is a dangerous game But in a context of inflammation, it is no longer a game
Clinical consequences • Renal transplantation • Accute tubular necrosis • Reversersible lesions : DGF • Irreversible lesions: PNF • Pancreas transplantation • Reversible lesion: • Swelling of the pancreatic parenchyma • Coagulation cascade activation • pancreatitis • Irreversible lesions • secondary vein thrombosis • Pancreas loss
Marginal organs • Major factor influencing the severity of clinical consequences of IR injuries • For several years Internationally • Fall in organ quality along the time • 40 % of Marginal donors (Unos criteria): • More than 60 • NHBD • 50 to 60 • Stroke • Diabetes • Arterial Hypertention • Creat level >1,5 mg /dl
How to improve preservation and limit ischemic reperfusion injuries ?Relevance in Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation
4 different ways • by Graft Preconditioning • by improving the solutions of conservation • by using the best method of preservation • by post conditioning the organ at the time of transplantation
1- By preconditioning the donor or the organ at the time of procurement
Preconditioning Principles • Play a role on the donor before or during the organ procurement • Phamacological preconditioning in intensive care unit • Heme Oxygénase • NO synthase • N acétyl cystéine • Halogéné: Sevoflurane • FK506 • Vit D3 • EPO +++ • … • Ischemic préconditioning during the organs procurement • By exposing the organ to repeated short period of warm ischemia before final interruption of blood supply
Ischemic preconditioning:Prepare the organ to IR Injuries • By Triggering the biological, biochemical enzymatic ways protecting the organs against IR injuries • Protein kinase C • Stimulation de gène protecteur de l’apoptosis • HSP Induction • Superoxyde dismutase induction • NO synthase induction: iNOS • NFKB modulation • … • Remote effect: Humoral Mechanism is transferable • « cell homing » modifications: reparation of endothelium damages • Burne-Taney MJ et al,. J Immunol 2006 ; 176:7015.
Main target: heart • Two windows of protection • Early Window: described in 1986 within the first 4 hours: the most efficient • Late window described in1993: appears 12 hours after IPC, less powerful than the earliest one
Possible ways of efficiency • Adénosine regulation • Prot Kinase C Translocation from the cytosol to the membrane • p38 MAPK and JNK activation • HSP activation link to TLR4 • also • NFKB stimulation • Regulation of K+ and Ca++ entrance in the mitochondria
Humoral mechanism transferable • Discovered in 1993 for the heart • Przyklenk K et al Circulation 87:893. • Uncertain mechanism but potentially linked to • Adenosine • Bradykinine • Opioïdes • HO-1 expression • Protection of the endothelial cells • Renal protection also probably possible by prolonged ureteral obstruction
Clinical Application • Randomized study • Cardiac surgery in children • By femoral occlusion (4 cycles of 5 min) before myocardic ischemia • Protector effect demonstrated Cheung M Mand al Cardiol 2006.47:2277
An experimental Approach: Kidney • In rat models • Improves renal function recovery • Decreased ROS production and tissular damage • Decreased renal fibrosis on kidney biopsies performed lately • In canine or porcine models • Contentious results • Difficulties to find define the good sequence of preconditioning • No experience in clinical setting
Improvement of the solution along the time: • Collins (Intracellular) then Eurocollins • UW , Celsior , HTK • New generation : extracellular with PEG

3- By using the best method of preservation:static incubation vs. perfusion machine
Preservation PrinciplesAdvantages of Static (Ice) System and Pulsatile Perfusion System Static Ice System Simple, reproducible technique Inexpensive Few supply needs Little technical expertise needed Allows for easy long distance transportation Acceptable immediate function rates with short ischemic times Pulsatile Perfusion More complicated to set up More expensive Need machine, perfusion cassette and liquid especially design Technical expertise Provides a monitoring capability Allows transportation
