: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the SIRT family, the effects of sirtuins on kidney graft function, and their potential as biomarkers in patients who develop rejection after kidney transplantation. : Blood samples were collected from 45 kidney transplant patients before and after rejection. Some of these patients experienced T-cell-mediated early rejection (TCMR), while others presented antibody-mediated late rejection (ABMR). The mRNA expression levels of SIRT-1, SIRT-3, and SIRT-7 were measured via real-time PCR, while the protein levels of SIRT-1, SIRT-2, SIRT-3, SIRT-5, and SIRT-7 were assessed using ELISA. Patients were grouped based on rejection type and histological characteristics. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software (V23). : The mean age of the patient group was 42.22, while the control group had a mean age of 35.23 ( = 0.002). SIRT-1, SIRT-3, and SIRT-7 levels were significantly higher in patients with rejection ( < 0.001). In patients with late-stage rejection, SIRT-3 was found to be associated with interstitial fibrosis and C4d accumulation. SIRT-7 levels showed a weak correlation with potassium levels ( = 0.014). : Our findings demonstrate significant changes in the SIRT family during both early- and late-stage rejection processes. Particularly, the role of SIRT-3 in the late stage is highlighted, suggesting the potential use of this gene as a biomarker for managing rejection processes. These findings could provide valuable insights for developing treatment strategies in organ transplantation.
本研究旨在调查SIRT家族的变化、沉默调节蛋白对肾移植功能的影响,以及它们在肾移植后发生排斥反应的患者中作为生物标志物的潜力。:在45例肾移植患者发生排斥反应前后采集血样。其中一些患者经历了T细胞介导的早期排斥反应(TCMR),而另一些患者则出现了抗体介导的晚期排斥反应(ABMR)。通过实时PCR测量SIRT-1、SIRT-3和SIRT-7的mRNA表达水平,同时使用ELISA评估SIRT-1、SIRT-2、SIRT-3、SIRT-5和SIRT-7的蛋白水平。根据排斥反应类型和组织学特征对患者进行分组。使用SPSS软件(V23)进行统计分析。:患者组的平均年龄为42.22岁,而对照组的平均年龄为35.23岁(P = 0.002)。排斥反应患者的SIRT-1、SIRT-3和SIRT-7水平显著更高(P < 0.001)。在晚期排斥反应患者中,发现SIRT-3与间质纤维化和C4d积累有关。SIRT-7水平与钾水平呈弱相关(P = 0.014)。:我们的研究结果表明,在早期和晚期排斥反应过程中,SIRT家族发生了显著变化。特别是,SIRT-3在晚期的作用得到了突出,这表明该基因有可能作为管理排斥反应过程的生物标志物。这些发现可为制定器官移植的治疗策略提供有价值的见解。
