AbstractObjective: To investigate whether low-dose nitric oxide donor FK 409 could attenuate small-for-size graft injury in liver transplantation using small-for-size grafts. Summary Background Data: The major concern of live donor liver transplantation is small-for-size graft injury at the early phase after transplantation. Novel therapeutic strategies should be investigated. Methods: We employed a rat orthotopic liver transplantation model using small-for-size (40%) graft. FK 409 was given at 30 minutes before graft harvesting (2 mg/kg) to the donor and immediately after reperfusion (1 mg/kg) to the recipient (FK group). Graft survival, intragraft genes expression, portal hemodynamics, and hepatic ultrastructural changes were compared between the 2 groups. Results: Seven-day graft survival rates in the FK group were significantly improved compared with those of rats not receiving FK 409 (control group; 80% versus 28.6%, P = 0.018). In the FK group, portal pressure was significantly decreased within the first 60 minutes after reperfusion whereas in the control group, transient portal hypertension was observed. Intragraft expression (both mRNA and protein) of early growth response-1, endothelin-1, endothelin-1 receptor A, tumor necrosis factor-α, macrophage-inflammatory protein-2, and inducible nitric oxide synthase was significantly down-regulated accompanied with up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1, A20, interferon-γ-inducible protein-10, and interleukin-10 during the first 24 hours afier reperfusion. Hepatic ultrastructure, especially the integrity of sinusoids was well protected in the FK group. Conclusions: Low-dose FK 409 rescues small-for-size grafts in liver transplantation by attenuation of portal hypertension and amelioration of acute phase inflammatory response by down-regulation of Egr-1, together with prior induction of heat shock proteins.
