Sirolimus in pediatric renal transplantation.

Abstract:

:Side effects of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) include nephrotoxicity and hypertension. Moreover, children have a higher risk of infections and posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorders. We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of Sirolimus (SRL) in 18 patients, who were 10.52 +/- 5.03 years at time of transplantation and received a CNI as the core immunosuppression. The most common indications for starting SRL therapy were chronic allograft nephropathy, Epstein-Barr virus-associated neoplasia, and thrombotic microangiopathy. The patients were converted to SRL at 49.14 +/- 45.9 months posttransplantation. Mean follow-up after the switch to SRL was 13.83 +/- 7.24 months. All patients who began SRL therapy remained on that medication. We observed a significant improvement (P < .05) in glomerular filtration rate assessed using the Schwartz formula at 3 months, which was sustained thereafter. There were no changes in proteinuria, plasma lipids, and platelet number. Although the prevalence of hypertensive patients decreased during follow-up, it was not significant. There was one steroid-sensitive, acute rejection episode. Serious adverse events included 1 death due to a relapse of B lymphoma, 1 sepsis, and 1 pancreatic pseudo-cyst. Adverse events were present in 17% of patients: 3 Herpes Simplex infections, and 1 dose-related lymphedema. Further studies are necessary to assess the impact of adverse events in the pediatric transplant population receiving SRL as immunosuppression.

  • Interleukin-4 induces lipogenesis in porcine endothelial cells, which in turn is critical for induction of protection against complement-mediated injury.

    abstract::Interleukin (IL)-4 has been shown to induce protection in porcine vascular endothelial cells (ECs) from killing by human complement. This protection is dependent on the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. In this study, we investigated mechanisms downstream of Akt and found that activation of the lipid biosynthesis pathway is...
