This study found that adding dexmedetomidine to the graft preservation solution in lung transplantation can inhibit cell death, reduce injury, and improve the morphology of the lung graft. This may help expand the donor lung pool and improve lung transplant outcomes.
Background: Effective preservation strategies to ameliorate lung graft ischaemia injury are needed to rescue 'extended criteria' or 'marginal' lung grafts, and to improve recipient outcomes after transplantation. Methods: Lung grafts from male Lewis rats were extracted after 40 min of cardiocirculatory death, and healthy human lung tissues were collected from patients undergoing a lobectomy. Lung samples were then preserved in a 4 degrees C preservation solution supplemented with 0.1 nM Dexmedetomidine (Dex, alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonist) for 16 h. In vitro, human lung epithelial A549 cells were preserved in the 4 degrees C preservation solution with 0.1 nM Dex for 24 h, then re-cultured in the cell culture medium at 37 degrees C to mimic the clinical scenario of cold ischaemia and warm reperfusion. Lung tissues and cells were then analysed with various techniques including western blot, immunostaining and electron microscope, to determine injuries and the protection of Dex. Results: Prolonged warm ischaemia after cardiocirculatory death initiated Rip kinase-mediated necroptosis, which was exacerbated by cold storage insult and enhanced lung graft injury. Dex supplementation significantly reduced necroptosis through upregulating Nrf2 activation and reducing oxidative stress, thereby significantly improving lung graft morphology. Dex treatment also attenuated endoplasmic reticulum stress, stabilised lysosomes and promoted cell membrane resealing function, consequently reducing cell death and inflammatory activation after hypothermic hypoxia-reoxygenation in A549 cells. Conclusions: Inhibition of regulated cell death through Dex supplementation to the graft preservation solution improves allograft quality which may aid to expand the donor lung pool and enhance lung transplant outcomes per se.
