Differentiated expression patterns of growth factors in routine formalin-fixed endomyocardial biopsies in the early postoperative phase after heart transplantation.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) seem to play a key role in immunological reactions shortly after heart transplantation (HTx). The aim of this study was to analyze the time course of the expression of PDGF A and B, PDGF-receptor alpha (PDGF-Ralpha) and beta, aFGF, and bFGF on formalin-fixed routine endomyocardial biopsies. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Right ventricular endomyocardial biopsies were obtained from 36 heart transplant recipients up to 2 weeks after HTx. According to the clinical course in the first postoperative year, 3 groups were formed: (1) clinically uneventful course (n = 12); (2) cardiac/systemic infections (n = 12); (3) acute rejection (n = 12). The growth factor expression was examined immunohistochemically. RESULTS:In the early phase after HTx, PDGF A, PDGF B, PDGF-Ralpha, and PDGF-Rbeta were predominantly expressed in endothelial cells. The main expression of PDGF-Ralpha and bFGF was found in cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. During the first 2 postoperative weeks, PDGF A, PDGF B, and PDGF-Rbeta showed a similar time course of expression: A significantly elevated expression in the first week was followed by a decrease in the second week. In the rejection group, PDGF A was significantly elevated after the first week. CONCLUSIONS:The increased expression of PDGF in the first postoperative week can be interpreted as an unspecific reaction to peritransplant injury. The prolonged expression of PDGF A, PDGF B, and PDGF-Rbeta showed that there were ongoing immunological reactions in the transplant during week 2. The persistence of elevated PDGF A expression might be of prognostic value in terms of a risk factor for either infection or rejection.
