DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Delayed graft function (DGF) independently predicts reduced 1- and 5- year kidney transplant survival and contributes to the development of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN). DGF is caused by both cold and warm ischemia. Cold ischemia occurs during both pulsatile machine perfusion and static cold storage of kidneys. This grant will focus on the pathophysiology of cold and warm ischemia and specifically the role of caspases. Caspase-3 is a major mediator of apoptotic and necrotic cell death. Caspase-1 converts the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and IL-18 to their active forms. The overall hypothesis is that caspases mediate proximal tubular damage in both cold and warm ischemia. In a model of cold ischemia the contribution of caspase-3 to proximal tubular apoptosis as well as severe brush border injury will be assessed. Gene expression, protein and activity of caspases-3, 7, 9 (mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis) and 8 (death receptor pathway of apoptosis) will be determined during both static and pulsatile cold ischemia. Immunohistochemistry for activated caspase-3 in proximal tubules will be performed. The effect of caspase inhibition on kidney morphology will be assessed. The findings of these experiments will contribute to the understanding of cold ischemia injury and organ preservation. Caspase-1-mediated production of IL-18 mediates ischemic ARF. IL-18 is a potent inducer of interferon gamma, which is a powerful inducer of MHC expression. Caspase-1 and IL-18-mediated increase in interferon gamma expression in the kidney and MHC expression on proximal tubules will be determined in a model of warm ischemia. Interferon gamma and MHC class I and II mRNA expression in the kidney will be assessed. The effect of caspase-1, IL-18 and interferon gamma inhibition on MHC expression will be evaluated. Reduced MHC expression is associated with decreased kidney graft immunogenicity and has important implications for the deleterious effect of DGF on both short and long-term allograft function

描述（由申请人提供）： 延迟移植功能（DGF）独立预测1年和5年肾脏移植存活率降低，并有助于慢性同种异体移植肾病（CAN）的发展。 DGF是由冷和温暖的缺血引起的。在脉冲机灌注和肾脏的静态冷藏期间，冷缺血发生。该赠款将重点放在冷和温暖缺血的病理生理上，尤其是胱天蛋白酶的作用。 caspase-3是凋亡和坏死细胞死亡的主要介体。 caspase-1将促炎细胞因子IL-1Beta和IL-18转换为活性形式。总体假设是caspase介导冷和温暖缺血的近端管状损伤。在冷缺血模型中，将评估caspase-3对近端管状细胞凋亡以及严重的刷子边界损伤的贡献。 caspases-3、7、9（细胞凋亡的线粒体途径）和8（凋亡的死亡受体途径）的基因表达，蛋白质和活性将在静态和脉冲冷缺血期间确定。将对近端小管中激活的caspase-3进行免疫组织化学。将评估caspase抑制对肾脏形态的影响。这些实验的发现将有助于理解冷缺血损伤和器官保存。 caspase-1介导的IL-18介质产生的缺血性ARF。 IL-18是干扰素伽马的有效诱导剂，它是MHC表达的强大诱导剂。 CASPASE-1和IL-18介导的肾脏中的干扰素伽马表达的增加和近端小管上的MHC表达将在温暖缺血模型中确定。将评估肾脏中的干扰素γ和MHC I类和II类mRNA表达。将评估caspase-1，IL-18和干扰素γ抑制对MHC表达的影响。 MHC表达降低与肾脏移植免疫原性降低有关，并且对DGF对短期和长期同种异体移植功能的有害作用具有重要意义
