Donor cytokine gene polymorphisms affect the development of acute rejection after kidney transplantation / 中华器官移植杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influence of renal allograft donor cytokine and cytokine receptor gene polymorphisms on acute rejection after renal transplantation.Methods (1) 126 cases of cadaveric renal allograft recipients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of acute graft rejection.The distribution of 22 polymorphisms in 13 cytokine genes and production types of some cytokines were compared between donors of two groups as well as latent factors affecting acute rejection.(2) Based on the result of HLA-DR matching,all recipients were stratified into two conditions0～1 locus HLA-DR mismatched and HLA-DR completely mismatched.Previous positive gene polymorphisms were compared between rejection group and no rejection group under two conditions.Results (1) Compared with no rejection group,the number of HLA-DR mismatched was significantly higher in rejection group.In the donors of rejection group,the genotype frequency of IL-1α-889 C/C,IL-1Rα msp I 11100 T/T,IL-4Rα+ 1902 A/A,TGF-β1 codon 10 C/C,IL-10-1082 A/A and lower production type frequency of IL-10 were significantly higher,whereas the genotype frequency of IL-12-1188 A/A,IL-2-330 G/G and IL-10 GCC/ATA was significantly lower.(2) With 0～1 locus HLA-DR mismatched,the genotype frequency of IL-1Rα msp I 11100 T/T,IL-4Raα+1902 A/A,IL-2-330 G/G,TGF-β1 codon 10 C/C and lower production type frequency of IL-10 showed significant difference between two groups,whereas with HLA-DR completely mismatched,the genotype frequency of IL-12-1188 A/A had significant difference.Conclusions This study verifies renal allograft donor genotype of IL-1α-889 C/C,IL-4Rα+ 1902 A/A,IL-1Ra msp I 11100 T/T,TGF-β1 codon 10 C/C,IL-10-1082 A/A and lower production type of IL-10 gene as the genetic safe factors for the development of acute allograft rejection and genotype of IL-12-1188 A/A and IL-2-330G/G as the major genetic risk factors for acute rejection after kidney transplantation Furthermore,the condition of HLA-DR mismatching might interfere with the action of these cytokine and cytokine receptor polymorphisms.
