    Abstract BackgroundCirculating donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) levels have been proposed as a potential tool for the diagnosis of graft injury. In this study, we prospectively investigated dd-cfDNA plasma levels and their association with severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and graft rejection after lung transplant.MethodsA total of 40 subjects undergoing de-novo lung transplants at our institution were recruited in this study. Blood samples were collected at various time points before and after lung transplant for 1 year. Dd-cfDNA in samples was determined using AlloSure assay (CareDx Inc.). The correlation of the value of %dd-cfDNA was investigated with the incidence of PGD, acute cellular rejection (ACR), and donor-specific antibody.ResultsWe observed a rapid increase of %dd-cfDNA in the blood of recipients after lung transplantation compared to baseline. The levels of dd-cfDNA decreased during the first two weeks. The peak was observed within 72 h after transplantation. The peak values of %dd-cfDNA varied among subjects and did not correlate with severe PGD incidence. We observed an association between levels of %dd-cfDNA from blood collected at the time of transbronchial biopsy and the histological diagnosis of ACR at 3 weeks.ConclusionOur data show that circulating dd-cfDNA levels are associated with ACR early after transplantation but not with severe PGD. Plasma levels of dd-cfDNA may be a less invasive tool to estimate graft rejection after lung transplantation however larger studies are still necessary to better identify thresholds.

    Abstract Short telomeres cause age-related disease and long telomeres predispose to cancer; however, the mechanisms regulating telomere length are unclear. We developed a nanopore-based method, Telomere Profiling, to determine telomere length at nearly single nucleotide resolution. Mapping telomere reads to chromosome ends showed chromosome end-specific length distributions that could differ by more than six kilobases. Telomere lengths in 147 individuals showed certain chromosome ends were consistently longer or shorter. The same rank order was found in newborn cord blood, suggesting that telomere length is determined at birth and chromosome end-specific telomere length differences are maintained as telomeres shorten with age. Telomere Profiling makes precision investigation of telomere length widely accessible for laboratory, clinical, and drug discovery efforts and will allow deeper insights into telomere biology.

    Abstract The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been the foremost modern global public health challenge. The airway is the primary target in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, with substantial cell death and lung injury being signature hallmarks of exposure. The viral factors that contribute to cell death and lung injury remain incompletely understood. Thus, this study investigated the role of open reading frame 7b (Orf7b), an accessory protein of the virus, in causing lung injury. In screening viral proteins, we identified Orf7b as one of the major viral factors that mediates lung epithelial cell death. Overexpression of Orf7b leads to apoptosis and ferroptosis in lung epithelial cells, and inhibitors of apoptosis and ferroptosis ablate Orf7b-induced cell death. Orf7b upregulates the transcription regulator, c-Myc, which is integral in the activation of lung cell death pathways. Depletion of c-Myc alleviates both apoptotic and ferroptotic cell deaths and lung injury in mouse models. Our study suggests a major role of Orf7b in the cell death and lung injury attributable to COVID-19 exposure, supporting it as a potential therapeutic target.

    Abstract Short telomeres cause age-related disease and long telomeres predispose to cancer; however, the mechanisms regulating telomere length are unclear. To probe these mechanisms, we developed a nanopore sequencing method, Telomere Profiling, that is easy to implement, precise, and cost effective with broad applications in research and the clinic. We sequenced telomeres from individuals with short telomere syndromes and found similar telomere lengths to the clinical FlowFISH assay. We mapped telomere reads to specific chromosome end and identified both chromosome end-specific and haplotype-specific telomere length distributions. In the T2T HG002 genome, where the average telomere length is 5kb, we found a remarkable 6kb difference in lengths between some telomeres. Further, we found that specific chromosome ends were consistently shorter or longer than the average length across 147 individuals. The presence of conserved chromosome end-specific telomere lengths suggests there are new paradigms in telomere biology that are yet to be explored. Understanding the mechanisms regulating length will allow deeper insights into telomere biology that can lead to new approaches to disease.

    Abstract Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) has emerged as an important cause of lung graft failure. In the current issue of the JCI, a study by Li et al. identifies a critical role of Foxp3+ T cells residing within lung allografts in the regulation of AMR. This study not only provides new insights into the nature of lung allografts as a primary site where T and B cell priming and immune regulation can occur, but also introduces the mouse orthotopic lung transplant as a model for studying the immunobiology of AMR. Because AMR can be so difficult to effectively treat in lung transplant recipients, the development of an animal model is a major advance in understanding the immunopathogenesis of AMR.

    Abstract Background: Isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) is associated with increased BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) inflammation and lung allograft injury in lung transplant recipients (LTR). However, the effect of PsA on macrophage responses in this population is incompletely understood. We examined human alveolar macrophage (AMΦ) responses to PsA and Pseudomonas dominant microbiome in healthy LTR.
    Methods: We stimulated THP-1 derived macrophages (THP-1MΦ) and human AMΦ from LTR with different bacteria and LTR BAL derived microbiome characterized as Pseudomonas-dominant. Macrophage responses were assessed by high dimensional flow cytometry, including their intracellular production of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IL-10, IL-1RA, and TGF-β). Pharmacological inhibitors were utilized to evaluate the role of the inflammasome in PsA-macrophage interaction.
    Results: We observed upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β) following stimulation by PsA compared to other bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus (S.Aur), Prevotella melaninogenica, Streptococcus pneumoniae) in both THP-1MΦ and LTR AMΦ, predominated by IL-1β. IL-1β production from THP-1MΦ was sustained after PsA stimulation for up to 96 hours and 48 hours in LTR AMΦ. Treatment with the inflammasome inhibitor BAY11-7082 abrogated THP-1MΦ IL-1β production after PsA exposure. BAL Pseudomonas-dominant microbiota elicited an increased IL-1β, similar to PsA, an effect abrogated by the addition of antibiotics.
    Conclusion: PsA and PsA-dominant lung microbiota induce sustained IL-1β production in LTR AMΦ. Pharmacological targeting of the inflammasome reduces PsA-macrophage-IL-1β responses, underscoring their use in lung transplant recipients.

    Abstract Background: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) remains a major cause of death after the first year posttransplant, with acute cellular rejection (ACR) being a major risk factor for CLAD. We evaluated the use of rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) for corticosteroid refractory ACR in lung transplant recipients.
    Methods: We retrospectively identified 112 adult lung transplant recipients who received rATG for refractory ACR after lung transplantation. The primary endpoint was the incidence of ACR on follow-up transbronchial biopsy. Secondary endpoints included freedom from ACR within 1 y post-rATG, CLAD progression at 1 y post-rATG, and all-cause mortality at 1 y post-rATG.
    Results: A complete resolution of ACR was observed in 60.2% of patients, an improvement but not complete resolution in 22.1%, and no response on follow-up biopsy in 17.8%. Mean A grade 1 y post-rATG was 0.51 in complete responders, 1.01 in partial responders, and 2.19 in nonresponders ( P  < 0.001). Complete responders had significantly less new or worsening CLAD at 1 y than partial responders (17% versus 40%; P  = 0.02). All-cause mortality rate was 14.9% in complete responders, 40% in partial responders, and 30% in nonresponders ( P  < 0.01).
    Conclusions: rATG appears to be an effective treatment of refractory ACR in lung transplant recipients. Failure to respond to rATG carries an increased risk of early CLAD and death.
