Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, and specifically relates to a method and device, equipment, storage medium for detecting HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection reaction in kidney transplantation, and application of a non-HLA antibody marker. Background Art
[0002] Allogeneic renal transplantation is currently the first choice for the treatment of end-stage renal disease. Rejection after renal transplantation is the main reason affecting the function of transplanted kidney and eventually leading to the failure of transplanted kidney. Transplant rejection includes T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) and antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR, AMR). The two complement each other and jointly affect the function of transplanted kidney. Acute ABMR is the main cause of early transplanted kidney function loss in renal transplantation, and it is easy to develop into chronic antibody-mediated rejection, resulting in poor long-term renal transplantation results.
[0003] With the development of clinical testing technology, preoperative human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching reduces the occurrence of HLA-mediated cellular rejection and HLA antibody-mediated humoral rejection; preoperative panel reactive antibodies (PRA) detection and complement-dependent lymphocytotoxicity (CDC) test can diagnose the patient's sensitization state early and reduce the occurrence of hyperacute and acute accelerated rejection; the development of immunosuppressive drugs and the optimization of immunosuppressive regimens have improved the treatment effect of cell-mediated rejection, all of which have improved the short-term survival rate of transplanted kidneys. However, nearly half of the transplanted kidneys still fail 10-15 years after surgery, that is, the long-term survival rate of transplanted kidneys has not been significantly improved.
[0004] The long-term survival rate of transplanted kidneys is mainly affected by ABMR. Compared with TCMR, ABMR can cause patients to have more severe clinical symptoms, and is difficult to treat, has a poor prognosis, and is prone to recurrence. It has become a key issue that needs to be tackled in the field of organ transplantation. Transplanted kidney biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing antibody-mediated rejection of kidney transplants, but the results of biopsy are largely dependent on the subjective experience of the examiner, which is prone to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. In addition, biopsy is invasive and expensive, which many kidney transplant recipients cannot accept.
[0005] Clinically, kidney transplant recipients are usually treated according to ABMR when their serum creatinine level is elevated, their urine protein is positive or their urine volume is decreased, color Doppler ultrasound shows decreased transplanted kidney blood flow, and their donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (HLA-DSA) are positive. However, about half of kidney transplant recipients are HLA-DSA negative when they develop ABMR.
[0006] Clinically, kidney transplant recipients with elevated serum creatinine levels, positive urine protein or decreased urine volume, reduced transplanted kidney blood flow as indicated by color Doppler ultrasound, and negative HLA-DSA are often treated according to TCMR, and the treatment of TCMR is mainly hormone shock, or combined with rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin (ATG) or anti-human T cell immunoglobulin (ALG). The treatment of ABMR according to the treatment of TCMR is often not ideal, causing irreversible damage to the transplanted kidney, or even loss of transplanted kidney function.
[0007] Therefore, non-invasive and simple detection of ABMR is of great significance for prolonging the survival time of transplanted kidneys. Although there is a system for non-invasive detection of rejection reactions based on the levels of cytokines or chemokines and their receptors in the serum of kidney transplant recipients, it cannot distinguish between TCMR and ABMR, and its specificity and sensitivity are low, making it difficult to guide clinical symptomatic treatment.

[0061] (4) Biomarker screening: The relative levels of 60 non-HLA antibodies were calculated based on the MFI averages of non-HLA antibodies in healthy subjects provided by the LIFECODES Non-HLA Antibody Kit. The single-sample KS test was used to verify whether the ATI1R antibody levels and the relative levels of 60 non-HLA antibodies in stable recipients and recipients with antibody-mediated rejection were in accordance with normal distribution. The data that were in accordance with normal distribution were statistically analyzed using the t-test to determine whether there were significant differences between the two groups of recipients. The data that were not in accordance with normal distribution were statistically analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.

The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 It can be concluded that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve is 0.913 (P < 0.001). AMR When the cutoff value is 2.842, the sensitivity is 0.875 and the specificity is 0.841. It can be understood that the above-screened optimal 6 non-HLA antibodies can also be used to prepare a kit for detecting HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection in renal transplantation.
[0064] 2. Validation process of the HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection detection model for renal transplantation
[0065] (1) Collection of serum samples: Use red-tipped blood collection tubes to collect peripheral blood from kidney transplant recipients with abnormally elevated serum creatinine or positive urine protein. Let the blood stand at room temperature for 30 min to allow the blood to coagulate naturally. Centrifuge at 3000 × g for 5 min and dispense the serum into 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes.

If HLA-DSA is negative, non-HLA antibody levels need to be tested.
[0067] (3) Detection of non-HLA antibody levels by single antigen microbead method: Take out the required components from the kit in advance and equilibrate to room temperature; tear off the tin foil covering the wells to be used in the 96-well filter plate, add 200 μL ddH2O to each well, leave at room temperature for 5 min, and slowly remove the liquid with a vacuum pump; oscillate to mix the non-HLA microbeads, add 40 μL of microbeads to each well, then add 10 μL of serum sample, negative control serum, and positive control serum to each well, and pat to mix; wrap the 96-well filter plate with tin foil and incubate at room temperature at 300 rpm for 30 min; add 100 μL of Add 250 μL of cleaning solution to each well, tap to mix, and slowly remove the liquid with a vacuum pump; add 250 μL of cleaning solution to each well, tap to mix, and slowly remove the liquid with a vacuum pump, and then wash twice with 250 μL of cleaning solution in sequence; dilute the phycoerythrin-coupled goat anti-human antibody stock solution 10 times with the cleaning solution, add 50 μL of phycoerythrin-coupled goat anti-human antibody dilution solution to each well, wrap the 96-well filter plate with tin foil, and incubate at room temperature at 300 rpm for 30 minutes; prepare the Luminex 200 detection system, start it up and maintain it, and according to the reaction pattern diagram, select the corresponding reading template to edit the on-machine detection pattern; after the incubation, add 150 μL of cleaning solution to each well, mix it evenly with a pipette, and immediately detect it on the machine.
[0068] (4) Detection of HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection in renal transplantation: Based on the average MFI of non-HLA antibodies in healthy people provided by the LIFECODES Non-HLAAntibody Kit, the relative levels of CSF2 antibody, FLRT2 antibody, GAPDH antibody, GSTT1 antibody, PRKCZ antibody and SSB antibody were calculated and introduced into the renal transplantation HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection detection model to calculate the detection value P AMR When P AMR When P > 2.842, it indicates that the kidney transplant recipient suffers from antibody-mediated rejection. AMR When ≤2.842, it indicates that the kidney transplant recipient has no antibody-mediated rejection reaction.
[0069] (5) Treatment and treatment effect of kidney transplant recipients with HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection detected by this detection model: According to the kidney transplant HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection detection model, 36 kidney transplant recipients were detected with antibody-mediated rejection; these recipients underwent plasma exchange or immunoadsorption, followed by infusion of immunoglobulin, and the transplanted renal function of 19 recipients returned to normal, while the transplanted renal function of 17 recipients did not improve significantly; the non-HLA antibodies of recipients whose transplanted renal function did not improve significantly were detected, and it was found that the relative levels of CSF2 antibody, FLRT2 antibody, GAPDH antibody, GSTT1 antibody, PRKCZ antibody and SSB antibody did not decrease significantly. These recipients were treated with rituximab or bortezomib, and the transplanted renal function returned to normal; the non-HLA antibody levels of these 36 recipients were also tested when they improved after treatment. Compared with the time of diagnosis, the P AMR Significantly reduced, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0070] (6) Biopsy diagnosis of kidney transplant recipients who were not tested for antibody-mediated rejection: Based on the renal transplant HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection detection model, the diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection in 15 kidney transplant recipients was not established; biopsy was performed on these 15 kidney transplant recipients, and it was found that 5 of them were diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), 3 were diagnosed with T cell-mediated rejection, 2 were diagnosed with membranous nephropathy, 2 were diagnosed with mesangial proliferative glomerulitis, 1 was diagnosed with thin basement membrane nephropathy, 1 was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy, and 1 was diagnosed with ischemic renal injury.
[0071] In summary, the present invention collects serum from kidney transplant recipients, detects AT1R antibody levels and other 60 non-HLA antibody levels, screens out non-HLA antibodies with significant differences (P<0.001) between recipients with HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection and stable recipients through statistical analysis, and uses Logisti regression analysis to obtain a detection model using one or more of CSF2 antibody, FLRT2 antibody, GAPDH antibody, GSTT1 antibody, PRKCZ antibody and SSB antibody as markers. The application method is simple in material collection, can detect HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection of kidney transplantation in a non-invasive, efficient, economical and accurate manner, and has good clinical application value.
[0072] In clinical practice, it is only necessary to bring the relative level values of one or more of the CSF2 antibody, FLRT2 antibody, GAPDH antibody, GSTT1 antibody, PRKCZ antibody and SSB antibody in the serum of HLA-DSA negative recipients with abnormal transplant renal function into the detection model, and the calculation results can be used to determine whether the recipient has an antibody-mediated rejection reaction. Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for detecting HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection reaction in kidney transplantation that can be applied to clinical detection, comprising the following steps S10-S50:
[0073] S10. Obtain the relative level values of each marker in the serum of the HLA-DSA negative test subject.
[0074] First, peripheral blood can be collected from subjects with abnormal transplant renal function (excessively high serum creatinine levels, positive urine protein, or low urine volume) to separate the serum. Then, the single antigen microbead method is used to detect HLA antibodies in the serum, and combined with the HLA typing results of the subject to be tested, it is determined whether the serum contains HLA-DSA. If the HLA-DSA in the serum is negative, the single antigen microbead method is used to detect the levels of various markers in the serum to test the subject for antibody-mediated rejection.
[0075] Specifically, step S10 includes the following steps S101-S102:
[0076] S101. Obtain the median fluorescence intensity of each marker in the serum of an HLA-DSA negative test subject.
[0077] S102. Calculate half the value of the ratio between the median fluorescence intensity of each marker and the corresponding average value of the median fluorescence intensity of healthy subjects as the relative level value of each marker.
[0078] S20, according to the relative level value of each marker and the preset coefficient, the detection value of the object to be tested is obtained by weighted calculation using the following formula (1):
[0079] (1)
[0080] Among them, P AMR represents the detection value, n is the number of markers, n is any positive integer from 1 to 6, w i represents the preset coefficient of the ith marker, E i represents the relative level value of the i-th marker, and the n markers include one or more of the following six non-HLA antibodies: CSF2 antibody, FLRT2 antibody, GAPDH antibody, GSTT1 antibody, PRKCZ antibody, and SSB antibody.
[0081] It is understandable that the above 6 non-HLA antibodies can be used alone as markers for detecting HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection of renal transplantation. In different embodiments, one or more combinations thereof can be used for detection, without limitation. In this embodiment, 6 antibodies are preferably used for detection, i.e., n=6.
[0082] Since the preset coefficients of CSF2 antibody, FLRT2 antibody, GAPDH antibody, GSTT1 antibody, PRKCZ antibody, and SSB antibody are 0.299, 0.404, 1.222, 0.343, 0.452, and 0.775, respectively, the optimal renal transplantation HLA-DSA negative antibody-mediated rejection detection model can be obtained by substituting all six non-HLA antibodies as markers into formula (1). AMR =0.299×E CSF +0.404×E FLRT2 +1.222×E GAPDH +0.343×E GSTT1 +0.452× E PRKCZ +0.775×E SSB .
[0083] Among them, E CSF 、E FLRT2 、E GAPDH 、E GSTT1 、E PRKCZ 、E SSB They respectively represent the relative levels of CSF2 antibody, FLRT2 antibody, GAPDH antibody, GSTT1 antibody, PRKCZ antibody and SSB antibody in serum.
[0084] S30, determine whether the detection value is greater than the specified cutoff value. If yes, execute step S40; otherwise, execute step S50.
[0085] Preferably, the specified cutoff value can be set to 2.842. AMR When P > 2.842, it indicates that the renal transplant candidate suffers from antibody-mediated rejection. AMR When ≤2.842, it indicates that the kidney transplant candidate has not experienced antibody-mediated rejection reaction.
[0086] S40: If the detected value is greater than the specified cutoff value, a prompt message is issued to indicate that the subject to be tested suffers from an antibody-mediated rejection reaction.
[0087] S50: If the detected value is less than or equal to the specified cutoff value, a prompt message is issued to indicate that the object to be tested has not undergone antibody-mediated rejection reaction.
[0088] In summary, compared with the prior art in which T cell-mediated rejection is directly used for treatment when the renal transplant is HLA-DSA negative, which results in unsatisfactory results, the embodiments of the present invention can further determine the non-HLA antibody level of the subject to be tested when the HLA-DSA of the renal transplant is negative, and perform antibody-mediated rejection detection on the subject to be tested in combination with the non-HLA antibody level, thereby further distinguishing T cell-mediated rejection from antibody-mediated rejection. Therefore, not only can HLA-DSA-negative antibody-mediated rejection of renal transplantation be detected non-invasively and simply, but also the detection specificity and sensitivity can be improved. Moreover, the operation is simple and the cycle is short, which improves the detection efficiency, and is conducive to the early diagnosis and symptomatic treatment of HLA-DSA-negative antibody-mediated rejection, and prolongs the survival time of the transplanted kidney. In addition, the number of markers is small, the cost required is low, and it is easier to be accepted by patients.
