Abstract

Selectins are differentially expressed carbohydrate binding proteins involved in the initiation of tissue inflammation by mediating the rolling and tethering of leukocytes on the vascular endothelium. This primary event in initiation of inflammation, as occurs during reperfusion injury, can be therapeutically targeted using selectin inhibitors, which generally block binding of sLex to E-, P-, and L-selectins. The objective of this study was to determine the role of selectins in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury after kidney transplantation. Canine kidneys were subjected to 60-min warm ischemia, flushed with UW solution, cold stored for 24 h, and autotransplanted into the nephrectomized donor. Renal autografts were monitored for 7 days by serum creatinine in the first study and by histology and myeloperoxidase activity after 4-hour reperfusion in the second study. In each study, one group of animals received TBC1269 (selectin inhibitor) and the other received saline vehicle. Serum creatinine rose quickly after transplantation and was not different between the groups. TBC1269 abolished a reperfusion-induced 2-fold increase in renal cortex neutrophil infiltration and improved histologic signs of ischemia after 4 hours of reperfusion. Selectin blockade does not improve the course of injury caused by warm renal ischemia. A minor benefit associated with the inhibition of early inflammation during reperfusion after kidney transplantation seems to occur.

Selectin은 조직 염증반응의 초기화에 관여하는 결합 단백질이며, 맥관내피에서 백혈구의 rolling과 tethering을 매개한다. 따라서 selectin inhibitor를 이용하여, 이들 selectin의 수용체인 sLex 에 대한 block을 유도함으로서 염증반응의 초기화를 억제할 수 있다는 가정하에, 본 연구에서는 장기이식 후 reperfusion에서 발생하는 손상에 대한 selectin inhibitor의 효과를 알아보았다. Beagle 견을 사용하여 신장이식을 실시하였다 공여 신장은 60분의 warm ischemia를 유도한 후 UW solution으로 관류하고 24시간동안 냉장보관하여 자가이식하였으며, 반대쪽 신장은 적출하였다. 술 후 7일동안 혈청 creatinine치를 측정하였다 2차실험으로, 12마리의 Beagle견을 사용하여 4시간의 reperfusion 후 조직학적 변화와 myeloperoxidase의 활성을 조사하였다. 각 실험의 대조군은 생리 식염수를,비교군은 TBC1269 (selectin inhibitor)를 신장 적출 전과 신장이식 수술 후 reperfusion 직전에 각각 투여하였다. 혈청 creatinine은 신장이식후 급격히 증가 하였으나, 두군 사이에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 신장피질의 백혈구 침윤은, 4시간 reperfusion후 생리식염수를 투여받은 군에서 2배의 유의적인 증가를 보였다. 그러나, TBC 1269로 처리한 군에서는 백혈구의 침윤이 유의적인 억제를 보였으며, 허혈에의한 조직학적 변화도 유의적으로 적었다. 개의 신장이식 수술에서 Selectin의 차단은 warm renal ischemia에서 기인된 손상을 개선하지는 못하나, 백혈구의 침윤을 억제하므로 delayed graft function과 관련된 술 후 염증반응의 초기화를 억제하는 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.
