Abstract

The use of donors deceased after brain death (DBD) with extended criteria in response to the shortage of grafts leads to the removal of more fragile kidneys. These grafts are at greater risk of not being grafted or delayed function. A better knowledge of the pathophysiology of DBDs would improve this situation. There is a difference between the results from animal models of DBD and the clinical data potentially explained by the kinetics of brain death induction. We compared the effect of the induction rate of brain death on the recovery of post-transplant renal function in a pig model of DBD followed by allografts in nephrectomized pigs. Resumption of early function post-transplant was better in the rapidly generated brain death group (RgBD) and graft fibrosis at three months less important. Two groups had identical oxidative stress intensity but a greater response to this oxidative stress by SIRT1, PGC1-α and NRF2 in the RgBD group. Modulation of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) stimulation by NRF2 would also regulate the survival/apoptosis balance of renal cells. For the first time we have shown that an allostatic response to oxidative stress can explain the impact of the rapidity of brain death induction on the quality of kidney transplants.
