Abstract

BACKGROUND: In lung transplantation (LuTx), various ischemic phases exist, yet the rewarming ischemia time (RIT) during implantation has often been overlooked. During RIT, lungs are deflated and exposed to the body temperature in the recipient's chest cavity. Our prior clinical findings demonstrated that prolonged RIT increases the risk of primary graft dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanisms of rewarming ischemic injury in this context remain unexplored. We aimed to characterize the rewarming ischemia phase during LuTx by measuring organ temperature and comparing transcriptome and metabolome profiles in tissue obtained at the end versus the start of implantation. METHODS: In a clinical observational study, 34 double-LuTx with ice preservation were analyzed. Lung core and surface temperature (n = 65 and 55 lungs) were measured during implantation. Biopsies (n = 59 lungs) were wedged from right middle lobe and left lingula at start and end of implantation. Tissue transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling were performed. RESULTS: Temperature increased rapidly during implantation, reaching core/surface temperatures of 21.5 degrees C/25.4 degrees C within 30 minutes. Transcriptomics showed increased proinflammatory signaling and oxidative stress at the end of implantation. Upregulation of NLRP3 and NFKB1 correlated with RIT. Metabolomics indicated elevated levels of amino acids, hypoxanthine, uric acid, and cysteineglutathione disulfide alongside decreased levels of glucose and carnitines. Arginine, tyrosine, and 1carboxyethylleucine showed a correlation with incremental RIT. CONCLUSIONS: The final rewarming ischemia phase in LuTx involves rapid organ rewarming, accompanied by transcriptomic and metabolomic changes indicating proinflammatory signaling and disturbed cell metabolism. Limiting implantation time and cooling of the lung represent potential interventions to alleviate rewarming ischemic injury.
