Abstract:

Background:
Previously, high levels of CXCR3+ T-cell recruitment was demonstrated in the prolonged ischemia-accelerated acute allograft rejection in rat kidney transplant. In the present study, the effect of chemokine IP-10 was investigated and the expression of chemokine-related PRINS (Psoriasis susceptibility-related RNA gene induced by stress) lncRNA determined in the allografts subjected to ischemia.
Methods:
F344-to-Lewis rat kidney transplantation was performed, and renal grafts were stored for 2 hours or 16 hours. Samples were removed at 24 hours and 7 days after operation. Cellular infiltration was determined with the use of immunohistochemistry, and messenger RNA expression was assessed with the use of real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Results:
The 16-hour-ischemia kidney displayed acute tubule damage and up-regulation of PRINS lncRNA expression. On day 7, IP-10 expression and CD3-positive T cells were increased in allografts compared with control samples, which were inhibited by the IP-10 antibody treatment accompanied by reduced serum creatinine.
Conclusions:
These observations provide evidence for IP-10 in a regulatory role in cold ischemia-elicited acute allograft rejection and in PRINS lncRNA expression. Our data enhance the understanding of the mechanism underlying between prolonged ischemia and acute rejection.
