BACKGROUND: Liquid biopsy offers a potential alternative to decrease or eliminate endomyocardial biopsy for diagnosing allograft rejection. p-element-induced wimpy testis-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are novel and promising disease biomarkers for their intrinsic characteristics such as stability in body fluids; however, their role in allograft rejection remains unexplored.
METHODS: A training set based on small RNA sequencing technology was performed to identify piRNAs in endomyocardial tissue (n = 8) and serum samples (n = 40) from patients following heart transplantation. A validation set of the potential piRNAs identified in the training study was conducted in an independent larger cohort for the detection of acute cellular rejection (ACR, n = 105) and antibody-mediated rejection (AMR, n = 61).
RESULTS: We identified 20,292 piRNAs in endomyocardial tissue and 24,602 piRNAs in serum samples from patients following heart transplantation. We identified 7 piRNAs with a coincident expression profile in both types of samples and potential capacity for the noninvasive detection of cardiac rejection. Validation in a large independent cohort demonstrated that a panel of these piRNAs showed excellent performance for detecting grade ≥2R ACR (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.819; p < 0.0001) and grade 1R ACR (AUC = 0.721; p = 0.001). Furthermore, our piRNA panel showed a potential discrimination ability of pAMR2 (AUC = 0.967; p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: To the best of knowledge, this study is the first to report the presence of piRNAs in both endomyocardial tissue and serum samples of patients after heart transplant, including their association with allograft rejection events. We propose a novel piRNA panel for the detection of cardiac allograft rejection.
