Longitudinal Lower Airway Microbial Signatures of Acute Cellular Rejection in Lung Transplantation.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine 2024 Februrary 16
Rationale: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) after lung transplantation is a leading risk factor for chronic lung allograft dysfunction. Prior studies have demonstrated dynamic microbial changes occurring within the allograft and gut that influence local adaptive and innate immune responses. However, the lung microbiome's overall impact on ACR risk remains poorly understood. Objective: To evaluate whether temporal changes in microbial signatures were associated with the development of ACR. Methods: We performed cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses (joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data and trajectory comparisons) of 16S rRNA gene sequencing results derived from lung transplant recipient lower airway samples collected at multiple timepoints. Measurements and Main Results: Among 103 lung transplant recipients, 25 (24.3%) developed ACR. In comparing samples acquired one month after transplant, subjects who never developed ACR demonstrated lower airway enrichment with several oral commensals (e.g., Prevotella and Veillonella spp.) compared to those with current or future (beyond one month) ACR. However, a subgroup analysis of those who developed ACR beyond one month revealed delayed enrichment with oral commensals occurring at the time of ACR diagnosis compared to baseline, when enrichment with more traditionally pathogenic taxa was present. In longitudinal models, dynamic changes in alpha diversity (characterized by an initial decrease and a subsequent increase) and in the taxonomic trajectories of numerous oral commensals were more commonly observed in subjects with ACR. Conclusion: Dynamic changes in the lower airway microbiota are associated with the development of ACR, supporting its potential role as a useful biomarker or in ACR pathogenesis.
