Background
Recent concerns about long term effects of living kidney donation have generated interest in adaptive mechanisms post kidney donation. We present initial data on changes in urinary proteome over 6 months after living kidney donation.
Methods
Prospective living kidney donors, scheduled for living donor kidney transplantation, were enrolled. Participants were followed up at 6 months after surgery. Urine samples for proteomics were collected before surgery and at 6 months after surgery. Urinary proteomic profiling was done by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap Fusion™ Tribrid™ mass spectrometer.
Results
25 participants have been enrolled till date. We present data of 15 participants who have completed follow up. The mean age was 43.2±7.62 years. Serum creatinine increased while hemoglobin and serum inorganic phosphorus decreased at 6 months after living kidney donation. Proteomic analyses showed 257 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) (115 downregulated, 142 upregulated, figure 1). Gene ontology enrichment analysis suggest upregulation of insulin like growth factor pathway, growth factor activity, cell junction organization and cell activation, and downregulation of generation of precursor metabolites and energy, various solute transporters, cell cycle, cell adhesion molecule binding, MAPK family signaling pathway. The protein-protein interactions and pathway relatedness suggest linkage to Erb1 downstream pathway, Rho GTPase effectors, PDGFRB pathway etc.
Conclusion
This study provides clues to possible biological processes and pathways involved in kidney adaptation. However, these need more evaluation and validation.
