Follow up of C4d positive biopsies and the development of TX-Glomerulopathy • Significant more often associated with Transplant Glomerulopathy (53% vs. 14%) • Significant more often associated with Transplant Capillaropathy (71% vs. 13%) • Significantly associated with progression of Transplant Glomerulopathy in follow-up biopsy (82% vs. 27%, median after 23 months)

  17. The association of TG (D) (n=44) with antibody (A), PTCBMML (B), and C4d (C). 73% of Tg cases show some signs of humoral rejection Sis et al. AJT 2007; 7: 1743-1752

  19. Potential causes for C4d negativity Complement activation Complement dependent cell injury Endothelial activation Recruitment and activation of leukocytes C4d+ ABMR Is C4d deposited in low amounts (Thus not detectable by current methods) Treatment effects? ? C4d negative ABMR ? Do HLA antibodies in a complement-independent way cause EC activation and subsequent inflammation and Fc receptor mediated graft injury?

  21. endothelial genes are increased in AMR Also not in our strict definition of ENDAT list, but increased in ABMR: CDH13 Duffy blood group SOX7 THBD MALL Welch t test FDR 0.05 Red arrows indicate genes that are known to be involved in endothelial cell activation Sis et al. AJT 2009;9:2312-23

  22. Endothelial Cell-Associated Transcripts correlate with pathologic features of AMR (in 173 biopsies) Sis et al. AJT 2009;9:2312-23

  27. A molecular classifier for diagnosing AMR • Classifier score correlates with: • Pathology (ptc, g, cg, I, cv, ah, ct, ci) • Consensus amongst pathologists • Presence of DSA • outcome Sellares et al. Am J Transplant. 2013 Apr;13(4):971-83.

  30. Summary • Donor-specific antibody acting on the allograft is associated with endothelial cell and local complement activation [ in most cases] • DSA acting on the allograft is associated with microcirculation inflammation as the morphological correlate [notion: the antigen is expressed in the microcirculation] • DSA acting on the allograft is associated with increased expression of inflammation (T cells, macrophages, g-interferon), endothelial, and NK cell associated transcripts as the molecular correlate

  32. Objective • To review the current knowledge of mechanisms, diagnostics and clinical management of patients with antibody-mediated rejection. • Since the vast majority of experience in this area has been accumulated in renal transplant patients, this group of patients will be the main focus of the presentation, but relevant lessons applicable to other types of organ transplants will be discussed as well. 

  33. Intragraft gene expression in positive crossmatch kidney allografts • Class – Comparisons: • A and B: no significant differences in gene expression • C and D: over-expression of inflammatory transcripts (T cells, macrophages, g-interferon) in XM+ biopsies Dean et al. Am J Transplant 2012; 12:1551-1563
