简要总结
Context and rationale:
Antibody-mediated rejection is the leading cause of long-term renal graft loss. It's due to the production by the recipient of antibodies directed against antigens (belonging or not to the HLA system) present on the surface of the donor specific endothelial cells (DSA), leading to graft failure.
The main difficulty to manage the humoral rejection is the delay of the diagnosis and the treatment to slow the evolution towards fibrosis.
Positivity of anti-HLA antibodies is the main risk factor for the rejection but the only way to make the diagnosis of humoral rejection is to perform a graft biopsy, an invasive process.
Endothelial microparticles (MPE) are small membrane vesicles generated by endothelial cell activation and / or apoptosis processes.
We test the hypothesis that endothelial microparticles are an early diagnostic biomarker of humoral rejection in renal transplantation allowing to detect it at the "subclinical" stage.
Primary and secondary objectives:
The main objective of this study is to estimate the performance of MPE plasma concentration for the diagnosis of humoral rejection in renal transplant patients with DSA. The secondary objective is to investigate by mass spectrometry the MPEs specific to the endothelium of the graft and to evaluate their diagnostic performance in relation to non-specific MEPs
Methodology :
We will conduct a cross-sectional evaluation of a diagnostic method from a collection of biological samples. The gold standard for the diagnosis of humoral rejection is the histological diagnosis on graft biopsy. The new test under study will be the flow cytometric assay of the MPE concentration carried out on plasma taken on the day of the graft biopsy.
Feasibility:
Among the active list of renal transplant patients attending the Montpellier University Hospital, we estimate that we can include the number of subjects required (N = 250) over 18 months. This work will be carried out in a laboratory with all the tools and techniques used, in particular flow cytometry and mass spectrometry, perfectly mastered and realized on dedicated technical platforms
Benefits / Outlook:
find a non-invasive early diagnostic biomarker to detect humoral rejection from the "subclinical" stage in order to set up an adapted treatment as quickly as possible.
详细描述
Context and rationale:
Antibody-mediated rejection is the leading cause of long-term renal graft loss. It's due to the production by the recipient of antibodies directed against antigens (belonging or not to the HLA system) present on the surface of the donor specific endothelial cells (DSA), the binding of which can activate the renal endothelium and be responsible for inflammation leading to fibrosis and graft destruction.
The main obstacle in the management of the humoral rejection is the delay of the diagnosis and the treatment to slow the evolution towards fibrosis. At the beginning of the process there is no "apparent" dysfunction of the graft (elevation of serum creatinine and / or proteinuria) but only inflammation of the renal parenchyma: this is referred to as "subclinical" humoral rejection. Graft dysfunction occurs only when the inflammation is serious and responsible for irreversible lesions of fibrosis.
New sensitive detection techniques for anti-HLA antibodies allow to detect DSA well before the onset of humoral rejection but the only way to make the diagnosis of humoral rejection is to perform a graft biopsy, an invasive process with a hemorrhagic risk which can not be repeated too frequently.
Endothelial microparticles (MPE) are small membrane vesicles generated by endothelial cell activation and / or apoptosis processes. An increasing level in circulating blood appears today as a endothelial dysfunction in many pathologies. Their role in humoral rejection, a model of endothelial dysfunction, has never been explored.
