Area of Science:

Transplantation immunology
Organ preservation technologies
Regenerative medicine

Background:

Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is increasingly adopted in clinical transplantation to enhance organ quality and increase utilization.
This review examines the mechanistic effects of NMP across heart, lung, liver, and kidney transplantation.
It also covers advancements in extending perfusion times and therapeutic applications of NMP for organ modulation.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the mechanistic effects of NMP in major solid organ transplantation.
To discuss advancements in extending NMP preservation times.
To explore therapeutic interventions and organ modulation strategies using NMP.

Main Methods:

Literature review of current understanding and recent advancements in NMP.
Analysis of mechanistic effects of NMP on heart, lung, liver, and kidney.
Examination of therapeutic interventions and organ modulation during NMP.

Main Results:

NMP can lead to upregulation of inflammatory mediators, mimicking ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Organ recovery and prolonged NMP (up to 7 days in liver) are feasible.
Therapeutic agents delivered during NMP can facilitate organ repair and modification.

Conclusions:

NMP re-establishes circulation, potentially causing inflammatory responses.
Damaged organs show recovery potential with prolonged NMP.
NMP enables therapeutic interventions for organ repair and modification, including reducing immunogenicity and altering blood group antigens.
