We read with great interest the paper by Jassem et al.,(1) which provides detailed gene expression profiles of human livers during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), compared with conventional cold storage. The authors should be congratulated on this extensive analysis, which shows for the first time transcriptional changes during any form of reperfusion under normothermic conditions.(1) However, we would like to add a few critical comments. The authors analyzed liver samples at the end of cold storage or NMP, and after graft implantation. First, although changes in gene alteration during NMP are certainly relevant, we would like to mention that all livers in the NMP group underwent prolonged normothermic reperfusion on the device before the first biopsy, obtained after a considerable contact of liver cells with fully oxygenated blood.Another biopsy, for example, 1 hour after the start of NMP, would be important to confirm the hypothesis that NMP is in fact actively leading to downregulation of inflammatory pathways (Fig. 1). Importantly, for kidneys, lungs, hearts, and livers, current research has shown the opposite.(2, 3) Second, proper comparisons of NMP and cold storage require assessment of reperfusion injury after a similar duration of normothermic reperfusion, either on the NMP device or after reperfusion of cold stored livers in situ.(1)(Fig. 1) Expectedly, gene expression profiles between NMP and cold storage appear very different, and parallel previous assessments after transplantation of subnormothermically perfused livers.(4) Third, the results imply that NMP after cold ischemia triggers inferior outcome.(1, 3) Consistently, Watson et al. have demonstrated a clear inflammatory response when NMP was performed after significant cold storage in livers with a cumulative high risk.(5) It
