Abstract
Organ transplantation has saved the lives of many thousands of people, but transplants still don't last as long as they should. In addition, to prevent rejection, high doses of toxic drugs are used to dampen the immune response. These can not only harm the transplant, but can have lethal side effects on the recipient.
Since it started in October 2007, the Centre has made significant progress towards improving the health of people who need transplants. We have devised ways to make their transplanted organ survive longer. This includes the development of engineered proteins which, when planted in donor kidneys, reduce inflammation and blood clot formation after transplantation. In addition, we have pioneered less harmful, more natural methods to coax the immune system into accepting the transplant, using cells taken from the patient. Remarkably, as a result of monitoring the immune system, we are close to being able to judge which patients can stop taking conventional therapy without rejecting the graft. At the same time, we are developing advanced scanning techniques that will enable physicians to diagnose whether a transplant is inflamed and to offer appropriate treatment.
As we approach the next five years of development, we shall conduct clinical trials to establish whether these innovations can benefit healthcare as the basic research has promised. Potential benefits include extending the life of the transplant and offering transplantation to more of those in need. We are also supporting new branches of science that make success more likely.
Advances of this complexity are made possible by bringing together a large workforce of scientists, clinicians and technologists under the same roof. The MRC Centre for Transplantation has created this capability within the UK. It collaborates with the Centre for Medical Law and Ethics at King's College to ensure a high standard of communication and public engagement regarding the regulation and ethics of transplant research. A programme of special events and media coverage will help keep the public and patients informed during innovation. Health economists are also to be part of the Centre to provide the opportunity to make more accurate forecasts about the costs and potential benefits of our research.
Future success will depend on recruiting and training the brightest minds to deliver this work through the next 5-10 years of development and ensure the research is translated into social and economic benefit.

Technical Summary
In 2007, the Centre set out to convert its extensive knowledge of inflammation, immunity and tolerance into new treatment, diagnostic and prognostic technologies for the benefit of patients. Our priorities were to overcome the initial barriers to transplantation presented by the immune system and to induce tolerance in patients with guidance from immune prediction and monitoring, so reducing some of the major limitations of modern transplantation.
To do this, we created links with protein and cell therapeutics, imaging sciences and genetics, and between clinical specialities responsible for the treatment of patients with diabetes, liver, kidney, bone marrow and dental diseases. As a result, the first membrane-targeted therapeutic regulators are about to enter a multicentre efficacy trial; the cell therapy strategy has progressed to become part of several investigational protocols designed to induce tolerance; markers of tolerance are undergoing extensive evaluation in man; and new imaging ligands that detect activated complement fragments and migratory T cells have emerged. A teaching framework built around these goals is equipping trainees to engage in multidisciplinary research. A programme of patient and public involvement promotes awareness of the importance of science in transplant medicine and ensures we are responsive to their expectations.
Our plan is to regroup the expanded number of basic and clinical research programmes into fewer themes which reflect areas of strategic value. This includes islet and hepatocyte transplantation, where inadequate long-term outcomes are likely to benefit from the specific expertise of the Centre. In support, an expanded training scheme will develop leadership skills in the distinct areas defined by the new themes, i.e. protein and cell engineering, immune monitoring, imaging and informatics. A parallel theme to improve methods of health economic assessment for early research is designed to support these goals.

Planned Impact
Benefit to patients
Improved quality of life, graft and patient survival rates, fewer interventions including less use of drug and dialysis treatment:
- Painting the donor organ with protective treatment that reduces inflammation and increases the lifespan of the transplant
- Having to take fewer drugs with unpleasant or dangerous side effects achieved with regimens using cell therapies in place of conventional treatment with broad-acting drugs
- Better patient stratification with new biomarkers and immune monitoring, allowing reduced drug usage where immune tolerance has developed
- Shorter wait for a kidney transplant through more donor organs being available with the application of organ-painting
- Evidence should be visible within 5-10 years
Benefits to the NHS
Cost/resource/efficiency benefits gained through costs of treatment (drug and dialysis costs) and patient and graft outcomes:
- Lower dialysis costs by enabling more transplants to be carried out with the use of organ painting and by fewer patients having to return to dialysis after transplantation
- Lower cost of dialysis in the early post transplant period due to more rapid recovery of painted donor organs
- Lower maintenance drug costs by keeping patients on fewer drugs where immune tolerance can be detected and/or can be induced by cell therapy
- Increased patient and graft survival rates with wider application of these treatment and diagnostic technologies, within 10 years
Benefits to the Economy
Exploitation of IP to form new products which contribute to UK economy and allow return on public investment in the work of the MRC Centre/KCL, by:
- New intellectual property based around these therapeutic and biomarker technologies (interest already showing in new cytotopic products and biomarkers of tolerance)
- Healthcare savings since maintenance on a transplant is more cost-effective than dialysis.
Benefits to Wider Society
Engagement/participation, leading to:
- Public confidence in organ donation, building on our ability to engage the public and influence policy on matters that include research in transplantation
- Influence willingness to participate in organ donations schemes by appreciating the scientific commitment though research

| Title | An in vitro model for studying genes and functions regulated by endogenous RA/RAR |
| Description | Combining two inhibitors AGN193109, DEAB and a cell line mIMCD-3 cells, as well as other collecting duct cell lines, we have established an in vitro approach to defining endogenous RA/RAR activities, target mRNAs, microRNAs and other non-coding RNAs. This approach can be used for other similar studies, using the same cell line or different ones. |
| Type Of Material | Model of mechanisms or symptoms - in vitro |
| Year Produced | 2017 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | We have published our work on mRNAs using this approach in PLOS One. We have again shown it worked perfectly on microRNAs, leading to a manuscript that will be published after ongoing validation. This can also lead to further grants. Other scientists can also be inspired to develop similar systems for studying functions of endogenous RA/RAR in other systems. |

| Title | Novel RARalpha agonists |
| Description | This will likely be a novel drug lead. |
| Type Of Material | Technology assay or reagent |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | RARalpha is the dominant isotype of RAR in both collecting ducts and podocyte cell lineages, where RAR signalling is found. Selectively activate RARalpha can avoid side effects of RARgamma (dry and itching skin) and RXR (potentially pro-fibrotic) and thus could become more selective renal therapy in AKI and CKD. |
| Title | Phospholipid Capture Enzyme Immunoassay (PCEIA) |
| Description | The PCEIA is a generic system for the assay of cytotopic agents (CTAs). CTAs are modified protein or peptides which possess the ability to bind to phosphatidyl serine (PS) and related acidic phospholipids in cell membranes. The assay uses PS deposited on the wells of microtitre plates as the capture step. The protein or peptide component of the CTA is then detected with a specific antibody followed by a secondary antibody linked to an enzyme component such as horseradish peroxidase. The signal is detected colorimetrically with an appropriate enzyme substrate. |
| Type Of Material | Technology assay or reagent |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | A PCEIA for the complement inhibitor Mirococept was initially developed in response to a regulatory requirement (from the UK MHRA) for an additional potency assay for this agent. It was reasoned that an assay which was dependent not only on the ability to bind PS but also on the antigenic identity of the CTA would be complementary to the existing biological assay for complement inhibitors which is cell-based. This proved to be the case and the new assay was incorporated into a revised MIrococept Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) filed in late 2013. We realized that the same capture step could be applied to all CTAs regardless of the modified "cargo". During 2014 we have validated this approach for the anticoagulant Thrombolexin and the complement terminal pathway inhibitor Cytectin. This work has been written up for publication and we expect it to contribute not only to the development of a range of CTAs but also to ultimate commercialization |
| Title | Ppbp null mice |

| Title | TRE-dnRAR transgenic mice |
| Description | This line of mice will enable conditional expression of a dominant negative mutant of RAR to achieve conditional repression of RXR/RAR signalling in the mice. Once interred with Hoxb7-Tet On mice, we can then achieve conditional repression of RXR/RAR signalling selectively in the collecting ducts in adult mice. |
| Type Of Material | Model of mechanisms or symptoms - mammalian in vivo |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | As RXR/RAR signalling is indispensable to kidney development, this line of transgenic mice will avoid renal abnormality induced by repression of RXR/RAR in embryonic mice and enable study of the roles for RXR/RAR signalling in both physiology and pathophysiology of adulthood. |

| PI Contribution | We have discovered one of the molecular pathways controlling IFN-gamma ; 'shut down' in Th1 cells and the corresponding defect in RA patients T cells. We are now assessing this pathway in detail - as the 'basic science team' - and keep collaborating with the clinical team to asses if identified deregulation points can be predicted or corrected therapeutically in RA patients. |
| Collaborator Contribution | We have partnered with several clinicians working on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at Guy's hospital. In addition, we are now included in an ongoing clinical trial at Guy's Hospital assessing factors that help predicting if and when RA patients can be 'weaned off' anti-TNF therapy. |

Personalized minimization of immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation by biomarker-driven stratification of patients to improve long-term outcome and health-economic data of transplantation. King's College London will do 2 studies on WP1 and will drive all of the analysis work on WP4 of this consortium. Maria Hernandez-Fuentes is the lead investigator in KCL. STUDY I, led by Prof Sanchez-Fueyo: A randomized multicentre controlled clinical study to assess the benefit/risk ratio of completely withdrawing IS in stable liver recipients identified as operationally tolerant on the basis of a liver tissue-based transcriptional test of tolerance. The study will test two hypotheses. First, that IS withdrawal is not inferior to IS maintenance in terms of rejection-related complications. Second, that drug withdrawal is superior to drug maintenance concerning the improvement of IS-related side effects. STUDY III, led by Dr Hernandez-Fuentes: A UK multicentre randomised hybrid design biomarker clinical trial, where biomarker positive/negative patients will be separately randomized into two arms; the control arm will have standard post-transplant follow up. The experimental arm will have a "Biomarker-led" follow up, namely, the strategy for their management will use the information obtained with the tolerance signature. The peripheral blood biomarker tolerance profile described by IOT/RISET (set-1 WP4) will be used in the biomarker led group to offer partial IS weaning to positive patients. WP 4.2 led by Dr Rebollo-Mesa. To organize data management and biostatistics. Establishment of a Central data base and data management system; biostatistical analyses of clinical and laboratory results, including ontology between the studies. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The central focus of the project is the implementation of biomarker-driven strategies for personalizing IS to improve the long-term outcome and to decrease the adverse effects and costs of chronic IS. This includes 5 innovative investigator-driven biomarker clinical trials designed by the consortium with >1800 (screening) / 1000 (trial) patients. The following issues will be addressed: -targeted complete/partial weaning of standard IS in long-term stable liver and kidney Tx patients identified as "operationally tolerant" by recently developed biomarker panels-prevention of CNI-based standard IS in low-responder kidney Tx recipients by perioperative biomarker-based stratification-shifting high to low-responder kidney Tx patients suitable for early minimisation by the recently explored selective targeting of alloreactive effector/memory T cells -implementing new biomarker candidates supporting personalized IS within the clinical trials-analysing the health-economic impact of biomarker-guided personalized IS -studying the mechanisms behind successful weaning (regulation/effector balance) -disseminating the results and developing commercialisation by partnering with SME/industry. The project will take advantage and exploit recent research findings-Indices of Tolerance (IOT) and RISET but also of other international groups. |

| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | Bio-DrIM. Personalized minimization of immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation by biomarker-driven stratification of patients to improve long-term outcome and health-economic data of transplantation. King's College London will do 2 studies on WP1 and will drive all of the analysis work on WP4 of this consortium. Maria Hernandez-Fuentes is the lead investigator in KCL. STUDY I, led by Prof Sanchez-Fueyo: A randomized multicentre controlled clinical study to assess the benefit/risk ratio of completely withdrawing IS in stable liver recipients identified as operationally tolerant on the basis of a liver tissue-based transcriptional test of tolerance. The study will test two hypotheses. First, that IS withdrawal is not inferior to IS maintenance in terms of rejection-related complications. Second, that drug withdrawal is superior to drug maintenance concerning the improvement of IS-related side effects. STUDY III, led by Dr Hernandez-Fuentes: A UK multicentre randomised hybrid design biomarker clinical trial, where biomarker positive/negative patients will be separately randomized into two arms; the control arm will have standard post-transplant follow up. The experimental arm will have a "Biomarker-led" follow up, namely, the strategy for their management will use the information obtained with the tolerance signature. The peripheral blood biomarker tolerance profile described by IOT/RISET (set-1 WP4) will be used in the biomarker led group to offer partial IS weaning to positive patients. WP 4.2 led by Dr Rebollo-Mesa. To organize data management and biostatistics. Establishment of a Central data base and data management system; biostatistical analyses of clinical and laboratory results, including ontology between the studies. |
