| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We constructed the cohort of 132 renal allograft transplanted patients, and analyzed the outcomes of renal and actuarial survival. As the results, 1) Serum high- and low-molecular-weight adiponectin (ADPN) fractions were related to the development of both cardiovascular diseases and post-transplant diabetes, and renal allograft function. 2) The gamma;-H2AX (a marker of double-strand DNA breaks) and Collagen type VI expression in renal allograft glomeruli were positively correlated with the duration of the post-renal transplant period. 3) The alteration of Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg (Foxp3+) subsets and non-classical HLA-G5 molecules were found in the early stage of allograft transplantation. In addition, higher serum HLA-G5 level was selected as a protective factor for renal allografts after 60 months.
Conclusion: In Japanese renal allograft recipients, ADPN fractions and non-classical HLA -G molecules were significant factors for the long-term allograft survival and complications.
