| Popis: | Autoantibodies are detrimental to the survival of organ transplantation. We demonstrated that Angiotensin II Type I Receptor agonistic autoantibodies (AT1R-AA) were associated with poor outcomes after liver retransplantation. To examine the effect of other autoantibodies, we studied a retrospective cohort of 93 patients who received a second liver transplant. Pre-retransplant sera were tested with Luminex-based solid-phase assays. Among 33 tested autoantibodies, 15 were significantly higher in 48 patients who lost their regrafts than 45 patients whose regrafts were still functioning. Specifically, patients with autoantibodies to the C-terminal laminin-like globular domain of Perlecan (LG3) experienced significantly worse regraft survival (p = .002) than those with negative LG3 autoantibodies (LG3-A). In multivariate analysis, LG3-A (HR = 2.35 [1.11-4.98], p = .027) and AT1R-AA (HR = 2.09 [1.07-4.10], p = .032) remained significant predictors of regraft loss after adjusting for recipient age and sex. There were synergistic deleterious effects on regraft survival in patients who were double-positive for LG3-A and donor-specific antibody (DSA) (HR = 5.26 [2.15-12.88], p = .001), or LG3-A and AT1R-AA (HR = 3.23 [1.37-7.66], p = .008). All six double-positive patients lost their liver regrafts. In conclusion, LG3-A is associated with inferior long-term outcomes of a second liver transplant. Screening anti-HLA antibodies and autoantibodies such as LG3-A/AT1R-AA identifies patients with a higher risk for liver transplantation. |
