Abstract
BACKGROUND: Supplemental oxygenation of the standard hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) circuit has the potential to invoke favorable changes in metabolism, optimizing cadaveric organs before transplantation. METHODS: Eight pairs of porcine kidneys underwent 18 hours of either oxygenated (HMP/O2) or aerated (HMP/Air) HMP in a paired donation after circulatory death model of transplantation. Circulating perfusion fluid was supplemented with the metabolic tracer universally labeled glucose.Perfusate, end-point renal cortex, and medulla samples underwent metabolomic analysis using 1-dimension and 2-dimension nuclear magnetic resonance experiments in addition to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Analysis of C-labeled metabolic products was combined with adenosine nucleotide levels and differences in tissue architecture. RESULTS: Metabolomic analysis revealed significantly higher concentrations of universally labeled lactate in the cortex of HMP/Air versus HMP/O2 kidneys (0.056 mM vs 0.026 mM, P < 0.05). Conversely, newly synthesized [4,5-C] glutamate concentrations were higher in the cortex of HMP/O2 kidneys inferring relative increases in tricarboxylic acid cycle activity versus HMP/Air kidneys (0.013 mmol/L vs 0.003 mmol/L, P < 0.05). This was associated with greater amounts of adenoside triphosphate in the cortex HMP/O2 versus HMP/Air kidneys (19.8 mmol/mg protein vs 2.8 mmol/mg protein, P < 0.05). Improved flow dynamics and favorable ultrastructural features were also observed in HMP/O2 kidneys. There were no differences in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and reduced glutathione levels, tissue markers of oxidative stress, between groups. CONCLUSIONS: The supplementation of perfusion fluid with high-concentration oxygen (95%) results in a greater degree of aerobic metabolism versus aeration (21%) in the nonphysiological environment of HMP, with reciprocal changes in adenoside triphosphate levels.
