How to Preserve Steatotic Liver Grafts for Transplantation

Damiano Patrono, Nicola De Stefano, Elena Vissio, Ana Lavinia Apostu, Nicoletta Petronio, Giovanni Vitelli, Giorgia Catalano, Giorgia Rizza, Silvia Catalano, Fabio Colli, Luigi Chiusa, Renato Romagnoli

Summary: Liver allograft steatosis poses a significant risk to transplant outcomes and survival. With the increasing prevalence of obesity and fatty liver disease, the use of steatotic liver grafts in transplantation has become more common. This review examines the mechanisms behind fatty liver susceptibility to ischemia-reperfusion injury and explores strategies, including donor interventions, preservation solutions, and machine perfusion techniques, to enhance the utilization of steatotic livers for transplantation.

Oxygen-carrying sequential preservation mitigates liver grafts ischemia-reperfusion injury

Jianbo Li, XiangJun Zha, Yan Kang, Zhongwei Zhang, Lvnan Yan, Lujia Song, Chengdi Wang, Jiayin Yang

Summary: A proposed oxygen-carrying sequential preservation (OCSP) method combining oxygenated static cold storage (SCS) and normothermic mechanical perfusion was found to decrease ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and improve rat survival after transplantation. Oxygen-dependent autophagy activation was shown to mitigate liver graft's IRI by suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress response (ERSR), and the NFE2L2-HMOX1 signaling pathway was found to induce autophagy under OCSP.

How to Best Protect Kidneys for Transplantation-Mechanistic Target

Sara Akalay, Sarah A. Hosgood

Summary: Although machine perfusion is gradually being applied in clinical practice, the improvement of organ reconditioning therapies is still at the experimental stage, showing a translational gap. This review discusses the biological processes and current strategies and interventions for preventing ischemia-reperfusion injury, treating its deleterious consequences, or supporting the reparative response of the kidney, and explores prospects to improve the clinical translation of these therapies by addressing multiple aspects of ischemia-reperfusion injury to achieve robust and long-lasting protective effects on the kidney graft.

Exploration of Optimal pH in Hypothermic Machine Perfusion for Rat Liver Grafts Retrieved after Circulatory Death

Sodai Sakamoto, Hiroki Bochimoto, Kengo Shibata, Nur Khatijah Mohd Zin, Moto Fukai, Kosei Nakamura, Takahisa Ishikawa, Masato Fujiyoshi, Tsuyoshi Shimamura, Akinobu Taketomi

Summary: This study aimed to verify the optimal pH of hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) for donation after circulatory death (DCD) livers. The results showed that the HMP group with pH 7.8 displayed significant graft protection, as evidenced by lower enzyme levels, bile production, diminished tissue injury, and well-preserved mitochondrial structure. Therefore, HMP with a pH of 7.8 enhances protective effects by preserving mitochondrial structure and function, reducing reperfusion injury in DCD livers.

Summary: This paper presents a low-cost organ perfusion machine that is modular and versatile, allowing for the addition of specific sensors for different research applications. The machine was assessed for perfusion efficacy, functionality, and viability using various measurements and assays. The results show that the system is capable of successfully perfusing porcine livers for up to three hours, maintaining their viability and functionality.

48 h Normothermic Machine Perfusion With Urine Recirculation for Discarded Human Kidney Grafts

Franka Messner, Afschin Soleiman, Dietmar Oefner, Hannes Neuwirt, Stefan Schneeberger, Annemarie Weissenbacher

Summary: Normothermic machine perfusion has been used to study discarded human kidney grafts and identify indicators for quality assessment. This study successfully performed prolonged normothermic perfusions on discarded kidneys and analyzed perfusion dynamics, composition and injury markers. The results show that normothermic machine perfusion can identify patterns of perfusion, biological function, and changes in inflammatory markers.

IV segment portal vein reconstruction in split-liver transplantation with extended right grafts

Dong Wang, Ning Fan, Xin Wang, Yandong Sun, Ge Guan, Jianhong Wang, Xiaodan Zhu, Yunjin Zang, Jinzhen Cai, Yuan Guo

Summary: Split liver transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage liver disease, but it still has some limitations. This study suggests that IV segment reconstruction can alleviate ischemia and promote postoperative recovery of liver function. IV segment reconstruction may be widely used in split liver transplantation.

Association between Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence and Graft Size in Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review

Alessandro Parente, Hwui-Dong Cho, Ki-Hun Kim, Andrea Schlegel

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the association between graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence in adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Three studies were identified, involving a total of 782 patients. The results showed that GRWR < 0.8% was associated with lower survival rates and higher tumor recurrence rates in HCC recipients, particularly for patients with HCC outside the established criteria. Considering individual GRWR as a contributor to HCC recurrence in LDLT patients may be beneficial.

Endothelial Cells and Mitochondria: Two Key Players in Liver Transplantation

Alessandro Parente, Mauricio Flores Carvalho, Andrea Schlegel

Summary: The endothelium, forming the inner layer of blood vessels, plays a crucial role in intercellular communication and vascular homeostasis. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of endothelial cells in metabolic function and their response to flow changes, which are linked to mitochondrial health. The impact of different perfusion conditions on liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and their mitochondrial function in the context of liver transplantation is discussed in this article. The available ex situ machine perfusion strategies and their effects on LSEC health are described, with a focus on specific perfusion conditions such as pressure, duration, and oxygenation.

Machine perfusion of the liver and bioengineering

Andrea Schlegel, Hynek Mergental, Constantino Fondevila, Robert J. Porte, Peter J. Friend, Philipp Dutkowski

Summary: With increasing demand for donor livers, there is a need to expand the number and quality of available organs. Dynamic preservation approaches have shown benefits in improving liver function and reducing complications. However, some livers still do not meet viability tests even with modern perfusion techniques. To optimize machine liver perfusion, extended perfusion with ex situ treatment and the use of stem cells or molecules targeting repair mechanisms are promising options. Bioengineering techniques can also be used to develop optimized organs during machine perfusion. This review discusses current strategies to improve donor liver quality and the challenges and benefits associated with different perfusion strategies.

Current Evidence and Future Perspectives to Implement Continuous and End-Ischemic Use of Normothermic and Oxygenated Hypothermic Machine Perfusion in Clinical Practice

Maxime Foguenne, Serena MacMillan, Philipp Kron, Jay Nath, Arnaud Devresse, Martine De Meyer, Mourad Michel, Sarah Hosgood, Tom Darius

Summary: The use of high-risk renal grafts for transplantation requires the optimization of pretransplant assessment and preservation reconditioning strategies. Active oxygenation plays a central role in dynamic preservation strategies to recondition mitochondria and restore cellular energy. The differences between normothermic and hypothermic machine perfusion, as well as the logistic and economic implications, should be considered for implementation at a local level.

Outcomes of Kidney Perfusion Techniques in Transplantation from Deceased Donors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Ahmed S. Ghoneima, Richard X. Sousa X. Da Silva, Martina A. Gosteli, Adam D. Barlow, Philipp Kron

Summary: The high demand for organs in kidney transplantation has led to the widespread use of machine perfusion technologies. This study provides a systematic review of the developments in this field over the past 10 years and compares different perfusion techniques. The results show that dynamic preservation strategies, such as hypothermic machine perfusion, have lower rates of delayed graft function and have the potential to improve outcomes in kidney transplantation.
