description | Neurologically deceased organ donors (NDDs) generally display an immune response involving an intense production of pro-inflammatory cytokines referred to as the cytokine storm. The sudden surge of inflammatory mediators in circulation promotes tissue and organ damages and ultimately leads to poor transplant outcome. As microRNAs (miRNAs) are frequently proposed as key regulators of inflammation and are relatively stable in circulation, changes in their profiles could play a role in the onset of the cytokine storm in NDDs. In this proof-of-concept study, we sought to investigate differentially abundant circulating miRNAs in a temporal manner between neurological death and organ recovery and to assess the association between specific miRNAs and levels of inflammatory cytokines in blood. Plasma samples from five NDDs were obtained at multiple time points between organ donation consent and organ recovery. Using a time-course analysis and miRNA sequencing, we identified 32 plasma miRNAs fluctuating between consent and organ recovery (false discovery rate; q-value < 0.1). Eleven miRNAs relatively abundant (>100 reads) and detected in all samples were selected for further biological pathway analysis (miR-486-3p, miR-103a-3p, miR-106b-3p, miR-182-5p, miR-101-3p, miR-10a-5p, miR-125a-5p, miR-146b-5p, miR-26a-5p, miR-423-5p, miR-92b-3p). These miRNAs targeted genes such as c-JUN (TNF signalling pathway) and eEF2 (AMPK pathway), suggesting a potential role in regulation of inflammation. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the miRNAs dynamic after neurological death in organ donors and could potentially be used to predict the related early cytokine storm.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT03786991.
