Renal graft ischemia-reperfusion injury led to remote lung injury. Brown–Norway renal graft was stored in 4°C Soltran preserving solution for 0 (live transplantation) or 24h (renal graft cold ischemia rCI0 or 24h) and then transplanted into Lewis recipient; the renal graft and lung were harvested on day 1 after transplantation. The contralateral kidney was removed or kept (CLK group). (a) Histology (hematoxylin and eosin staining) of renal grafts and lung. (b) Injury scores of kidney morphology. (c) Injury scores of lung morphology, (d) serum concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and (e) lung tissue concentration of TNF-α assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. (f) Nuclear release of high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB-1) in lung. (g) CD 68+ cell infiltration in lung. (h) Dry/wet ratio of lung samples. Scale bar=50μm. Data are expressed as mean±s.d. (n=4), (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, and ***P<0.001). CLK, (with) contralateral kidney; NC, naive control; rCI, renal graft cold ischemia.

Necroptosis was found in lung tissues of recipients receiving ischemic allografts. Brown–Norway renal graft was stored in 4°C Soltran preserving solution for 0 (live transplantation) or 24h (cold ischemia rCI0 or 24h) and then transplanted into Lewis recipient, and the lung was harvested on day 1 after transplantation.

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) or/and receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIP-1) inhibitor necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) attenuated lung injury in vivo after receiving ischemic allografts. Brown–Norway renal graft was stored in 4°C Soltran preserving solution for 0 (live transplantation) or 24h (cold ischemia rCI0 or 24h) and then transplanted into Lewis recipient, and the graft was finally harvested on day 1 after transplantation. 3-AB or/and Nec-1 was given to the recipient immediately after grafting.

Acute immune rejection to renal allograft exacerbated the lung injury and enhanced Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) activities in the lung.
