BACKGROUND: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung transplantation is an uncommon strategy in Japan owing to the severe donor shortage and absence of urgent allocation policy. Moreover, the use of veno-venous (VV) ECMO for immunosuppressed patients is controversial; thus, applying ECMO to patients who await lung re-transplantation is challenging. CASE PRESENTATION: A 16-year-old lung transplant recipient with grade 3 bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome was waitlisted for lung re-transplantation. Eleven months later, he fell into severe respiratory acidosis with hypercapnia, which were not resolved with mechanical ventilation. VV ECMO was introduced to minimize lung stress and strain. Tracheostomy was additionally performed on day 5 after the start of ECMO, and respiratory condition swiftly improved; hence, the weaning process from VV ECMO began on day 9. Rehabilitation became implementable, and bilateral re-lung transplantation was successfully performed 6 months after the ECMO treatment. No critical complication related to the precedent use of ECMO was noted. CONCLUSIONS: VV ECMO can be a feasible treatment option even for lung transplant candidates awaiting re-transplantation for a prolonged period. Introduction of ECMO and tracheostomy in the early deterioration stage may be crucial to successful subsequent patient management.

BACKGROUND: The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in tumor tissue has been related to the prognosis in various malignancies. Meanwhile, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a systemic inflammation marker also has been associated with the prognosis in them. However, few reports have investigated the relationship between pulmonary metastases from sarcoma and these biomarkers. METHODS: We retrospectively recruited 102 patients undergoing metastasectomy for pulmonary metastases from uterine leiomyosarcoma at Okayama University Hospital from January 2006 to December 2019. TILs and TLSs were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining of surgically resected specimens of pulmonary metastases using anti-CD3/CD8/CD103/Foxp3/CD20 antibodies. NLR was calculated from the blood examination immediately before the most recent pulmonary metastasectomy. We elucidated the relationship between the prognosis and these factors. Because we considered that the status of tumor tissue and systemic inflammation were equally valuable, we also assessed the impact of the combination of TILs or TLSs and NLR on the prognosis. RESULTS: As for TILs, CD3-positive cells and CD8-positive cells were correlated with the prognosis. The prognosis was significantly better in patients with CD3-high group, CD8-high group, TLSs-high group, and NLR-low group, respectively. The prognosis of CD8-high/NLR-low group and TLSs-high/NLR-low group was significantly better than that of CD8-low/NLR-high group and TLSs-low/NLR-high group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: CD3-positive TILs, CD8-positive TILs, TLSs, and NLR are correlated with the prognosis, respectively. The combination of CD8-positive TILs or TLSs and NLR may be the indicators to predict the prognosis of patients with pulmonary metastases from uterine leiomyosarcoma.

PURPOSE: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is a known long-term fatal disorder after lung transplantation. In this study, we evaluated the CLAD classification of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) for living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT). METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective review of data from 73 patients who underwent bilateral LDLLT between 1998 and 2019. Factors related to opacity on computed tomography (CT) and restriction on pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were also analyzed. RESULTS: Overall, 26 (36%) patients were diagnosed with CLAD, including restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS), n = 10 (38.5%); bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), n = 8 (30.8%); mixed, n = 1 (3.8%); undefined, n = 2 (7.7%); and unclassified, n = 5 (19.2%). The 5-year survival rate after the CLAD onset was 60.7%. The survival of patients with BOS was significantly better than that of patients with RAS (p = 0.012). In particular, patients with restriction on PFT had a significantly worse survival than those without restriction (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: CLAD after bilateral LDLLT does not have a major impact on the recipient survival, especially in patients with BOS. Restriction on PFT may predict a particularly poor prognosis in patients with CLAD after bilateral LDLLT.

INTRODUCTION: The percentage of low attenuation area (%LAA) on computed tomography (CT) is useful for evaluating lung emphysema, and higher %LAA was observed in patients with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). This study investigated the relationship between the %LAA and the development of CLAD after bilateral lung transplantation (LT). METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective study of 75 recipients who underwent bilateral LT; the recipients were divided into a CLAD group (n = 30) and a non-CLAD group (n = 45). The %LAA was calculated using CT and compared between the two groups from 4 years before to 4 years after the diagnosis of CLAD. The relationships between the %LAA and the percent baseline values of the pulmonary function test parameters were also calculated. RESULTS: The %LAA was significantly higher in the CLAD group than in the non-CLAD group from 2 years before to 2 years after the diagnosis of CLAD (P < .05). In particular, patients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) exhibited significant differences even from 4 years before to 4 years after diagnosis (P < .05). Significant negative correlations between the %LAA and the percent baseline values of the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (r = -.36, P = .0031), the forced vital capacity (r = -.27, P = .027), and the total lung capacity (r = -.40, P < .001) were seen at the time of CLAD diagnosis. CONCLUSION: The %LAA on CT was associated with the development of CLAD and appears to have the potential to predict CLAD, especially BOS, after bilateral LT.

PURPOSE: Although the performance lung transplantation (LTx) in the elderly (≥ 60 years) has increased globally, the situation in Japan remains quite different, because the age limit at registration for cadaveric transplantation is 60 years. We investigated the long-term outcomes of LTx in the elderly in Japan. METHODS: This was a single-center retrospective study. We divided the patients into two groups according to age: the younger group (< 60 years; Y group; n = 194) and the elderly group (≥ 60 years; E group; n = 10). We performed three-to-one propensity score matching to compare the long-term survival between the E and Y groups. RESULTS: In the E group, the survival rate was significantly worse (p = 0.003), and single-LTx was more frequent (p = 0.036). There was a significant difference in the indications for LTx between the two groups (p < 0.001). The 5-year survival rate after single-LTx in the E group was significantly lower than that in the Y group (p = 0.006). After propensity score matching, the 5-year survival rates of the two groups were comparable (p = 0.55). However, the 5-year survival rate after single-LTx in the E group was significantly lower than that in the Y group (p = 0.007). CONCLUSION: Elderly patients showed acceptable long-term survival after LTx.

Renal dysfunction is a long-term complication associated with an increased mortality after lung transplantation (LT). We investigated the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the development of renal dysfunction after LT using a Japanese-specific SNP array. First, eligible samples of 34 LT recipients were genotyped using the SNP array and divided into two groups, according to the presence of homozygous and heterozygous combinations of mutant alleles of the 162 renal-related SNPs. To identify candidate SNPs, the renal function tests were compared between the two groups for each SNP. Next, we investigated the association between the candidate SNPs and the time course of changes of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the 99 recipients until 10 years after the LT. ΔeGFR was defined as the difference between the postoperative and preoperative eGFR values. Eight SNPs were identified as the candidate SNPs in the 34 recipients. Validation analysis of these 8 candidate SNPs in all the 99 recipients showed that three SNPs, namely, rs10277115, rs4690095, and rs792064, were associated with significant changes of the ΔeGFR. Pre-transplant identification of high-risk patients for the development of renal dysfunction after LT based on the presence of these SNPs might contribute to providing personalized medicine.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) affecting transplanted lungs is not well recognized. Herein, we report two cases of PAP after lung transplantation (LTx). The first case was a 4-year-old boy with hereditary pulmonary fibrosis who underwent bilateral LTx and presented with respiratory distress on postoperative day (POD) 23. He was initially treated for acute rejection, died due to infection on POD 248, and was diagnosed with PAP at autopsy. The second case involved a 52-year-old man with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who underwent bilateral LTx. On POD 99, chest computed tomography revealed ground-glass opacities. Bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial biopsy led to a diagnosis of PAP. Follow-up with immunosuppression tapering resulted in clinical and radiological improvement. PAP after lung transplantation mimics common acute rejection; however, is potentially transient or resolved with tapering immunosuppression, as observed in the second case. Transplant physicians should be aware of this rare complication to avoid misconducting immunosuppressive management.

Masaoka stage I type A thymomas rarely recur. We report the case of an 82-year-old man who developed endobronchial metastasis after thymothymectomy for Masaoka stage I type A thymoma. Twenty years after surgery, the patient developed bloody sputum, and chest computed tomography revealed a neoplasm obstructing the right upper lobe bronchus of the lung with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. He underwent right upper lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection. Although preoperative pathological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, postoperative histopathology revealed endobronchial metastasis of the thymoma. Nine years later, at age 89, the patient is alive and well.

BACKGROUND: Poor health-related quality of life (HRQL) at the registration for lung transplantation is related to waitlist mortality. We investigated the relationship between 1-year change in HRQL and subsequent outcomes in patients waitlisted for lung transplantation. METHODS: In a 5-year longitudinal study, we analyzed the factors related to waitlist mortality in 197 lung transplant patients registered on the Japan Organ Transplant Network. HRQL was assessed using St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and factors related to changes in SGRQ scores were evaluated after 1 year. We assessed the relationship between the 1-year change in SGRQ score and subsequent mortality or hospitalization. RESULTS: Among 197 patients, 108 remained waitlisted during the first-year assessment. During the median follow-up period of 469 d, 28 patients died, and 54 underwent lung transplantation. Univariate Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that the changes in all components and total score of the SGRQ after 1 year were associated with waitlist mortality (p < 0.05). Stepwise multivariate analysis revealed that the 1-year changes in SGRQ scores were significantly related to waitlist mortality. Forty-three patients with worsened HRQL after 1 year had higher likelihoods of hospitalization (p = 0.038) and mortality (p = 0.026) after 1 and 4 years of follow-up, respectively, than 61 patients without worsened HRQL. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with worsened health status during the first year after registration had higher likelihoods of hospitalization and mortality after 1 and 4 years of follow-up, respectively, than those without worsened HRQL. Strategies to improve health status while waiting are needed to reduce waitlist hospitalization or mortality.

OBJECTIVES: S100A8/A9 is a damage-associated molecule that augments systemic inflammation. However, its role in the acute phase after lung transplantation (LTx) remains elusive. This study aimed to determine S100A8/A9 levels after lung transplantation (LTx) and evaluate their impact on overall survival (OS) and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD)-free survival. METHODS: Sixty patients were enrolled in this study, and their plasma S100A8/A9 levels were measured on days 0, 1, 2, and 3 after LTx. The association of S100A8/A9 levels with OS and CLAD-free survival was assessed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. RESULTS: S100A8/A9 levels were elevated in a time-dependent manner until 3 days after LTx. Ischemic time was significantly longer in the high S100A8/9 group than in the low S100A8/A9 group (p = .017). Patients with high S100A8/A9 levels (> 2844 ng/mL) had worse prognosis (p = .031) and shorter CLAD-free survival (p = .045) in the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis than those with low levels. Furthermore, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high S100A8/A9 levels were a determinant of poor OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.7; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.2-12; p = .028) and poor CLAD-free survival (HR: 4.1; 95% CI: 1.1-15; p = .03). In patients with a low primary graft dysfunction grade (0-2), a high level of S100A8/A9 was also a poor prognostic factor. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provided novel insights into the role of S100A8/A9 as a prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for LTx.

BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis have been shown to be associated with the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after lung transplantation (LT). We investigated the role of circulating miRNAs in the diagnosis of CLAD after bilateral LT, including cadaveric LT (CLT) and living-donor lobar LT (LDLLT). METHODS: The subjects of this retrospective study were 37 recipients of bilateral CLT (n = 23) and LDLLT (n = 14), and they were divided into a non-CLAD group (n = 24) and a CLAD group (n = 13). The plasma miRNA levels of the two groups were compared, and correlations between their miRNAs levels and percent baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and total lung capacity (TLC) values were calculated from one year before to one year after the diagnosis of CLAD. RESULTS: The plasma levels of both miR-21 and miR-155 at the time of the diagnosis of CLAD were significantly higher in the CLAD group than in the non-CLAD group (miR-21, P = 0.0013; miR-155, P = 0.042). The miR-21 levels were significantly correlated with the percent baseline FEV1, FVC, and TLC value of one year before and at the time of diagnosis of CLAD (P < 0.05). A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the performance of miR-21 levels in the diagnosis of CLAD yielded an area under the curve of 0.89. CONCLUSION: Circulating miR-21 appears to be of potential value in diagnosing CLAD after bilateral LT.

INTRODUCTION: Living-donor lobar lung transplantation is an alternative procedure to deceased donation lung transplantation. It involves graft donation from healthy donors; however, only a few reports have discussed its long-term prognosis in living lung donors and their associated health-related quality of life. This study aimed to examine living lung donors' health-related quality of life. METHODS: In our cross-sectional survey of living lung donors, we assessed health-related quality of life based on three key aspects (physical, mental, and social health) using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey. We also evaluated chronic postoperative pain and postoperative breathlessness using the numeric rating scale and the modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea scale, respectively. RESULTS: We obtained consent from 117 of 174 living lung donors. The average scores of the living lung donors on the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey were higher than the national average. However, some donors had poorer physical, mental, and social health, with lower summary scores than the national averages. Low mental component summary predictors included donor age (<40 years; odds ratio = 10.2; p<.001) and recipient age (<18 years; odds ratio = 2.73; p<.032). Low role-social component summary predictors included high lung allocation score (≥50; odds ratio = 3.94, p<.002) and recipient death (odds ratio = 3.64; p = .005). There were no predictors for physical component summary. Additionally, many donors did not complain of pain or dyspnea. CONCLUSIONS: Living lung donors maintained acceptable long-term health-related quality of life after surgery. Potential donors should be informed of relevant risk factors, and high-risk donors should receive appropriate support. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

AIMS: Limited data exist on risk factors for the long-term outcome of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with congenital heart disease (CHD-PAH). We focused on the index of pulmonary vascular disease (IPVD), an assessment system for pulmonary artery pathology specimens. The IPVD classifies pulmonary vascular lesions into four categories based on severity: (1) no intimal thickening, (2) cellular thickening of the intima, (3) fibrous thickening of the intima, and (4) destruction of the tunica media, with the overall grade expressed as an additive mean of these scores. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between IPVD and the long-term outcome of CHD-PAH. METHODS: This retrospective study examined lung pathology images of 764 patients with CHD-PAH aged <20 years whose lung specimens were submitted to the Japanese Research Institute of Pulmonary Vasculature for pulmonary pathological review between 2001 and 2020. Clinical information was collected retrospectively by each attending physician. The primary endpoint was cardiovascular death. RESULTS: The 5-year, 10-year, 15-year, and 20-year cardiovascular death-free survival rates for all patients were 92.0%, 90.4%, 87.3%, and 86.1%, respectively. The group with an IPVD of ≥2.0 had significantly poorer survival than the group with an IPVD <2.0 (P = .037). The Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for the presence of congenital anomaly syndromes associated with pulmonary hypertension, and age at lung biopsy showed similar results (hazard ratio 4.46; 95% confidence interval: 1.45-13.73; P = .009). CONCLUSIONS: The IPVD scoring system is useful for predicting the long-term outcome of CHD-PAH. For patients with an IPVD of ≥2.0, treatment strategies, including choosing palliative procedures such as pulmonary artery banding to restrict pulmonary blood flow and postponement of intracardiac repair, should be more carefully considered.

OBJECTIVE: The prognostic nutrition index (PNI), calculated using serum albumin and total lymphocyte count, is a recent topical index related to inflammation. Preoperative PNI is regarded as a new preoperative prognostic score in lung transplantation (LTx). This study aimed to investigate the impact of PNI at the time of registration as a prognostic parameter of mortality on the waiting list for LTx. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted on the data of 132 adult patients registered for LTx in our department between January 2013 and June 2020. Patients who finally received LTx were analyzed as censored data. The overall survival was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method for pre-registered clinical factors including the PNI at the time of registration. Overall survival was calculated from the date of listing to the Japan Organ Transplant Network to the date of death. RESULTS: The low-PNI group had a significantly worse prognosis. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age (p = 0.023), idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (p < 0.001), lung allocation score (LAS) (p < 0.001), and PNI (p < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors for waitlist mortality. CONCLUSIONS: PNI at the time of registration can be an independent prognostic parameter in registered candidates for LTx.

(1) Background: Lung ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury increases the mortality and morbidity of patients undergoing lung transplantation. The objective of this study was to identify the key initiator of lung IR injury and to evaluate pharmacological therapeutic approaches using a functional inhibitor against the identified molecule. (2) Methods: Using a mouse hilar clamp model, the combination of RNA sequencing and histological investigations revealed that neutrophil-derived S100A8/A9 plays a central role in inflammatory reactions during lung IR injury. Mice were assigned to sham and IR groups with or without the injection of anti-S100A8/A9 neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb). (3) Results: Anti-S100A8/A9 mAb treatment significantly attenuated plasma S100A8/A9 levels compared with control IgG. As evaluated by oxygenation capacity and neutrophil infiltration, the antibody treatment dramatically ameliorated the IR injury. The gene expression levels of cytokines and chemokines induced by IR injury were significantly reduced by the neutralizing antibody. Furthermore, the antibody treatment significantly reduced TUNEL-positive cells, indicating the presence of apoptotic cells. (4) Conclusions: We identified S100A8/A9 as a novel therapeutic target against lung IR injury.

Although bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a major cause of death after lung transplantation, an effective drug therapy for BOS has not yet developed. Here, we assessed the effectiveness of a neutralizing anti-S100 calcium binding protein (S100) A8/A9 antibody against BOS. A murine model of heterotopic tracheal transplantation was used. Mice were intraperitoneally administered control IgG or the S100A8/A9 antibody on day 0 and twice per week until they were sacrificed. Tissue sections were used to evaluate the obstruction ratio, epithelium-preservation ratio, α-smooth muscle actin (SMA)-positive myofibroblast infiltration, and luminal cell death. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed to analyze the mRNA-expression levels of collagen, inflammatory cytokines, and chemokines on days 7, 14, and 21. The anti-S100A8/A9 antibody significantly improved the obstruction ratio and epithelium-preservation ratio, with less α-SMA-positive myofibroblast infiltration compared to the control group. Antibody treatment reduced the type-III collagen: type-I collagen gene-expression ratio. The antibody also significantly suppressed the number of dead cells in the graft lumen. The expression levels of tumor growth factor β1 and C-C motif chemokine 2 on day 21, but not those of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor α, were significantly suppressed by S100A8/A9 antibody treatment. These findings suggest that S100A8/A9 may be a potential therapeutic target for BOS after lung transplantation.

Background: Brain-dead donors are susceptible to pulmonary atelectasis (AT). In procurement surgery, lung recruitment under circulatory conditions and cold-flushing for atelectatic donor lungs often provoke graft injury due to the acute blood inflow. We hypothesized that lung recruitment without blood circulation can mitigate graft injury. This study aimed to examine the benefits of lung recruitment subsequent to cardiac arrest using a porcine lung-transplant model. Methods: Thirteen donor pigs were categorized into the non-atelectatic (No-AT) group (n=3) representing a healthy control group; AT-BCR group (n=5), in which AT was reverted by conventional blood-circulated recruitment (BCR); and AT-no-BCR group (n=5), in which AT was reverted by no-BCR following circulatory arrest. In the atelectatic donor models, the left main bronchus was ligated for 24 hours prior to lung procurement. Left lung transplantation (LTx) was subsequently performed in the thirteen recipient pigs. After 6 hours evaluation, the recipients were euthanized and the lung grafts were excised. Results: The post-transplant PaO2/FiO2 ratio was significantly higher in the AT-no-BCR group than in the AT-BCR group (P=0.015). Wet/dry ratio, histological findings of graft injury and tissue interleukin-8 expression in the AT-no-BCR group were similar to those of the No-AT group. Conclusions: Lung recruitment without circulation after circulatory arrest could be more protective for atelectatic donor lung than the conventional procedure.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a major component of the tumor microenvironment that mediate resistance of cancer cells to anticancer drugs. Tranilast is an antiallergic drug that suppresses the release of cytokines from various inflammatory cells. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of tranilast on the interactions between non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and the CAFs in the tumor microenvironment. Three EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell lines, two KRAS-mutant cell lines and three CAFs derived from NSCLC patients were used. To mimic the tumor microenvironment, the NSCLC cells were co-cultured with the CAFs in vitro, and the molecular profiles and sensitivity to molecular targeted therapy were assessed. Crosstalk between NSCLC cells and CAFs induced multiple biological effects on the NSCLC cells both in vivo and in vitro, including activation of the STAT3 signaling pathway, promotion of xenograft tumor growth, induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and acquisition of resistance to molecular-targeted therapy, including of EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells to osimertinib and of KRAS-mutant NSCLC cells to selumetinib. Treatment with tranilast led to inhibition of IL-6 secretion from the CAFs, which, in turn, resulted in inhibition of CAF-induced phospho-STAT3 upregulation. Tranilast also inhibited CAF-induced EMT in the NSCLC cells. Finally, combined administration of tranilast with molecular-targeted therapy reversed the CAF-mediated resistance of the NSCLC cells to the molecular-targeted drugs, both in vitro and in vivo. Our results showed that combined administration of tranilast with molecular-targeted therapy is a possible new treatment strategy to overcome drug resistance caused by cancer- CAF interaction.
