Background. The heme oxygenase (HO) isoenzyme HO-1 has recently been suggested to protect transplants from ischemia/reperfusion and immunologic injury. Inducibility of this enzyme is modulated by a (GT)n dinucleotide length polymorphism in the HO-1 gene promoter. Short (class S) repeats are associated with greater up-regulation of HO-1 than are long repeats. In the present study we investigated the impact of the promoter polymorphism of kidney allograft donors on clinical outcomes after transplantation. Methods. We enrolled 101 recipients of cadaveric donor kidney allografts (who underwent transplantation between June 1998 and September 1999) in this retrospective study. The HO-1 genotype was assessed using genomic DNA isolated from cryopreserved donor splenocytes. Results. Fifty patients (49.5%) had received a kidney from a donor with at least one class S allele. Recipients of allografts from a class S allele carrier had significantly lower 1-year serum creatinine levels (median 1.46 mg/dL, interquartile range 1.17–1.68 mg/dL) compared with recipients of a non-class S allele donor kidney (median 1.61 mg/dL, interquartile range 1.38–2.22 mg/dL, P =0.01). After adjustment for cold ischemia time, retransplantation, donor age, delayed graft function, and HLA mismatch, recipients of a class S allele transplant had serum creatinine levels 0.81 times (95% confidence interval: 0.70–0.95, P =0.01) those of recipients of a non-class S allele transplant. The two patient groups did not differ significantly with respect to the incidence of delayed graft function, allograft rejection, or immunologic graft loss. Conclusion. Our data suggest an influence of the HO-1 gene promoter polymorphism on kidney allograft function and thus support previous studies indicating a protective effect of HO-1 induction in organ transplantation.
