CD86 +1057G>A polymorphism and susceptibility to acute kidney allograft rejection.

چکیده
INTRODUCTION CD86 is a costimulatory molecule that participates in the regulation of T-cell lymphocytes activation. Thus, we examined a genetic marker on the CD86 gene in kidney transplant outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS In our retrospective study, 168 kidney allograft recipients were genotyped by direct sequencing. Patients were classified into 2 groups of 29 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical haplotype allograft recipients and 139 recipients showing one or more mismatches in the HLA haplotype. Forty-five patients (26.8%) developed at least 1 acute rejection (AR) episode, 7 in the first and 38 in the second group. RESULTS Acute rejection was associated with the presence anti-HLA antibodies before transplantation (P = .03). The AA genotype and A allele at position +1057 in the CD86 gene were more frequent in patients without AR (9.75% and 28.5%, respectively) compared with those showing an AR (2.22% and 23.3%, respectively). This difference was statistically significant in the anti-HLA-positive recipients, as AA frequency was 31.3% in non-AR patients and zero in AR ones (P = .04) and A allele frequency was 46.9% and 20.8%, respectively (P = .04). Patients bearing AA genotype reached a higher graft survival time (9.84 years) than those carrying GA (8.21 years, P = .32) or GG (7.61 years, P = .72) genotypes. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that AA genotype and A allele of CD86 +1057G>A polymorphism may confer a protection against acute kidney allograft rejection in Tunisian patients.

Background: In addition to Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) compatibility, gene polymorphisms in cytokines might also be important in the quality of allogeneic immune response. Objective: To evaluate the influence of HLA-DR matching and a number of cytokine gene polymorphisms on acute rejection after living-unrelated donor (LURD) kidney transplantation. Methods: A total of 42 renal transplants pe...

FcγRIIa defunctioning polymorphism in paediatric patients with renal allograft
Introduction Fc gamma receptor (FcγR) IIa is considered the most widely distributed of the three classes of Fc receptors, and it expresses an allelic polymorphism. This type of polymorphism may modify the immune response and may be an important factor for some diseases. The aim of the study reported herein was to evaluate the association between the FcγRIIa polymorphism and susceptibility to bo...
