The Renal Transplant Outcome Prediction and Validation Study (TOPVAS)
The Renal Transplant Outcome Prediction and Validation Study (TOPVAS)
The number of patients with end stage renal disease is increasing continuously and kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment modality. Modern immunosuppressive therapy has reduced the number of acute rejection episodes and increased one year allograft survival dramatically. Nonetheless, 4% of allografts are lost beyond the first year annually due to a multifactorial process and the latter number has not changed for decades. One of the most important factors to determine long-term success after kidney transplantation is the quality of the donor organ. For example, transplantation of organs from elderly or extended criteria donors results in reduced allograft and patient survival.
In previous work, the investigators specifically focused on age-associated molecular signatures including telomere length and mRNA expression levels of the cell cycle inhibitors CDKN2A (p16INK4a) and CDKN1A (p21WAF1) and assessed these parameters in pre-implantation biopsies of 54 patients. In a linear regression analysis CDKN2A turned out to be the best single predictor for serum creatinine after 1 year followed by donor age and telomere length. A multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the combination of CDKN2A values and donor age yielded even higher predictive values. In another study the investigators were able to show an interaction between donor age and use of calcineurin inhibitors with regard to outcome after renal transplantation.
During these past activities an extensive set of whole genome transcriptomics profile information from zero hour biopsies and clinical follow-up data has been collected. In the TOPVAS study, existing data derived from 72 of the above mentioned set of biopsies (exclusion of live donor grafts) will be analysed with state of the art bioinformatical/system biology tools to derive a general (not purely age associated) prognostic biomarker panel for functional transplant outcome two years after transplantation. This marker panel will also be used to define organs preferentially suitable for MMF/tacrolimus based immunosuppression. Both panels will then be validated for their prognostic and predictive information on the long-term outcome after transplantation in a new independent patient population treated with tacrolimus and MMF. In addition to biomarker assessment and in pursue of identifying alternative and/or complementary parameters with predictive value , an advanced morphological investigation of tissue biopsy life stains will be performed employing an innovative cell viability staining technology ("BIOPSYCHRONOLOGY").

Live and dead cells in the kidney biopsy will be quantified using the dyes Syto-16/PI and WGA will be calculated as follows: Groups: The number of dead/live cells will be entered in the following groups
(+1) Using this approach we will obtain for highly viable biopsies/areas high numbers, bigger than (0) For biopsies/areas in which the number of viable cells equals the one of dead cells we will obtain 1. (-1) For those in which the number of dead cells outnumbers the one of live cells, numbers between 1 and 0 will be obtained. For each biopsy, a score will be calculated which will consist of the two tubular areas and the glomerular area. Therefore a maximum of +3 points can be achieved, or in the worst case -3. |
