| Organism |
Homo sapiens |

| Summary |
Histological features of acute rejection can be detected in surveillance biopsies despite stable graft function and can negatively impact graft outcomes. However, routine surveillance biopsies for detection of subclinical rejection are not generally performed due to potential risks and costs associated with repeated biopsies. Noninvasive biomarkers are required to facilitate early detection of acute rejection and borderline changes. We examined the impact of histological abnormalities at 3-month in surveillance biopsies on graft outcomes in kidney transplant recipients from the prospective Genomics of Chronic Allograft Rejection (GoCAR) study. We then performed RNA sequencing on whole blood collected at the time of biopsy in 88 patients (22 vs. 66) to identify transcripts associated with histological abnormalities. Subjects with subclinical ACR or borderline ACR at 3 month (ACR-3) had higher risk of subsequent clinical acute rejection at 12 and 24 month (P < 0.05), more rapid functional decline (P < 0.05) and a decreased graft survival in adjusted cox analysis (P < 0.01) than patients with no abnormalities on 3-month biopsy. We then identified a 17-gene signature in peripheral blood that accurately diagnosed ACR-3. The gene set was then validated for diagnosis of ACR-3 using microarray data (N=65; 12 vs. 53; 26 overlapping with the RNAseq cohort).
