Outline of Final Research Achievements

Donor specific HLA antibody (DSA)-induced chronic antibody-mediated rejection (CAMR) is an obstacle to long-term graft survival. Approximately 40% of renal transplant recipient with de novo DSA without graft dysfunction demonstrated biopsy-proven subclinical CAMR, and failed to respond to anti-rejection therapy such as anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and double filtration plasmapheresis.
miR-142-5p and miR-486-5p in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were associated with DSA production and CAMR, respectively. DSA with high complement binding ability showed high risk of CAMR. Anti-A/B antibody, mTOR inhibitor and AMPK activator had protective function against HLA antibody-induced, complement-dependent cytotoxicity. Action at an early stage when immune response starts to move towards DSA production would be essential to control CAMR after kidney transplantation. Furthermore, development of innovative anti-CAMR therapy is necessary.
