    Title translation Transplant tolerance through mixed chimerism.
    Abstract Three pilot studies have offered proof-of-concept that operational tolerance can be induced through mixed chimerism in recipients of combined kidney and hematopoietic cell transplants from the same donor. In two studies, sustained mixed chimerism was induced allowing safe and rejection-free immunosuppression withdrawal. However, this success came at heavy toll, requiring harsh cytoreductive regimen and a balance tipped toward graft-versus-host reactivity. Hence, achievement of durable chimerism in humans is not devoid of a significant risk of graft-versus-host disease. In contrast, transient mixed chimerism can be induced with non-myeloablative and a less cytotoxic regimen, leading to transplant tolerance, whose underpinning mechanisms are more complex, involving T cell exhaustion, peripheral deletion and suppression.

    Abstract The complement system is paramount in the clearance of pathogens and cell debris, yet is increasingly recognized as a key component in several pathways leading to allograft injury. There is thus a growing interest in new biomarkers to assess complement activation and guide tailored therapies after kidney transplantation (KTx). C5 blockade has revolutionized post-transplant management of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, a paradigm of complement-driven disease. Similarly, new drugs targeting the complement amplification loop hold much promise in the treatment and prevention of recurrence of C3 glomerulopathy. Although unduly activation of the complement pathway has been described after brain death and ischemia reperfusion, any clinical attempts to mitigate the ensuing renal insults have so far provided mixed results. However, the intervention timing, strategy, and type of complement blocker need to be optimized in these settings. Furthermore, the fast-moving field of ex vivo organ perfusion technology opens new avenues to deliver complement-targeted drugs to kidney allografts with limited iatrogenic risks. Complement plays also a key role in the pathogenesis of donor-specific ABO- and HLA-targeted alloantibodies. However, C5 blockade failed overall to improve outcomes in highly sensitized patients and prevent the progression to chronic antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). Similarly, well-conducted studies with C1 inhibitors in sensitized recipients yielded disappointing results so far, in part, because of subtherapeutic dosage used in clinical studies. The emergence of new complement blockers raises hope to significantly reduce the negative effect of ischemia reperfusion, ABMR, and nephropathy recurrence on outcomes after KTx.

    Abstract Overactivation of the complement alternative pathway drives the pathogenesis of primary atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Genetically-determined or acquired dysregulation of the complement is frequently identified in patients with aHUS, pregnancy-related hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and severe hypertension-associated HUS. In contrast, it is still unclear whether self-limited complement activation, which frequently occurs in other forms of HUS, provides key mechanistic clues or results from endothelial damage. Development of novel biomarkers is underway to firmly establish complement-driven pathogenesis. C5 blockade therapy has revolutionized the management of aHUS patients, resulting in a halving of the subpopulation under chronic dialysis over the course of a few years. On the other hand, the efficacy of C5 blockade in secondary forms of HUS, as assessed by small and uncontrolled case series, is less compelling and should be investigated through properly designed prospective clinical trials. The increased risk of meningococcal infection, related to C5 inhibition, must be rigorously addressed with suitable prophylaxis. Treatment duration should be determined based on an individualized benefit/risk assessment.

    Abstract Immune responses to allografts represent a major barrier in organ transplantation. Immune tolerance to avoid chronic immunosuppression is a critical goal in the field, recently achieved in the clinic by combining bone marrow transplantation (BMT) with kidney transplantation following non-myeloablative conditioning. At high levels of chimerism such protocols can permit central deletional tolerance, but with a significant risk of graft-versus-host (GVH) disease (GVHD). By contrast, transient chimerism-based tolerance is devoid of GVHD risk and appears to initially depend on regulatory T cells (Tregs) followed by gradual, presumably peripheral, clonal deletion of donor-reactive T cells. Here we review recent mechanistic insights into tolerance and the development of more robust and safer protocols for tolerance induction that will be guided by innovative immune monitoring tools.

    Abstract De novo thrombotic microangiopathy (dnTMA), after renal transplantation may significantly alter graft outcomes. However, its pathogenesis and the role of complement alternative pathway dysregulation remain elusive. We studied all consecutive adult patients with a kidney allograft biopsy performed between January 2004 and March 2016 displaying dnTMA. Ninety-two patients were included. The median time of occurrence was 166 (IQR 25-811) days. The majority (82.6 %) had TMA localized only in the graft. Calcineurin inhibitor toxicity and antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) were the 2 most frequent causes (54.3% and 37.0%, respectively). However, etiological factors were multiple in 37% patients. Interestingly, pathogenic variants in the genes of complement alternative pathway were significantly more frequent in the 42 tested patients than in healthy controls (16.7% vs 3.7% respectively, P < .008). The overall graft survival after biopsy was 66.0% at 5 years and 23.4% at 10 years, significantly worse than a matched cohort without TMA. Moreover, graft survival of patients with TMA and ABMR was worse than a matched cohort with ABMR without TMA. The 2 main prognostic factors were a positive C4d staining and a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate at diagnosis. DnTMA is a severe and multifactorial disease, induced by 1 or several endothelium-insulting conditions, mostly calcineurin inhibitor toxicity and ABMR.

    Abstract Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare kidney disease due to a dysregulation of the complement alternative pathway. Complement factor I (CFI) negatively regulates the alternative pathway and CFI gene rare variants have been associated to aHUS with a low disease penetrance. We report 10 unrelated cases of HUS associated to a rare CFI variant, p.Ile357Met (c.1071T>G). All patients with isolated p.Ile357Met CFI missense variant were retrospectively identified among patients included between January 2007 and January 2022 in the French HUS Registry. We identified 10 unrelated patients (70% women; median age at HUS diagnosis, 36.5 years) who carry the same rare variant p.Ile357Met in the CFI gene. Seven patients (cases 1-7) presented with aHUS in the native kidney associated with malignant hypertension in 5 patients. None received a C5 inhibitor. Two of these cases occurred in the peripartum period with complete recovery of kidney function, while 5 of these patients reached kidney failure requiring replacement therapy (KFRT). Four patients with KFRT subsequently underwent kidney transplantation. Three later developed C3 glomerulopathy in their kidney graft, but none had aHUS recurrence. Three other patients (cases 8-10) experienced de novo thrombotic microangiopathy after kidney transplantation, precipitated by various triggers. The rare CFI variant p.Ile357Met appears to be a facilitating genetic factor for HUS and for some forms of secondary HUS.
