Low syntaxin 17 expression in donor liver is associated with poor graft prognosis in recipients of living donor liver transplantation

Abstract: Aim Liver transplantation (LT) is the only curative therapy for decompensated liver cirrhosis. For recipients of living donor LT (LDLT), restoration of liver function after transplantation is highly dependent on liver regenerative capacity, which requires large amounts of intracellular energy. Mitochondrial metabolism provides a stable supply of adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP) for liver regeneration. Mitophagy is a selective process in which damaged, non‐functional mitochondria are degraded and replaced with n… Show more

“…However, liver graft quality does not uniformly decline with donor age, and it is important to assess individual changes in donor grafts because there are individual differences in aging (29). In addition, the several qualitative assessment methods previously reported require liver biopsy (30,31), while this IMAC examination is not invasive, and the IMAC can be measured with CT images obtained before surgery, with no additional burden on the donor. In our study, the IMAC was a predictive factor for graft failure, although it was correlated with donor age.…”
