Objectives: In standard living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT), the right and left lower lobes from 2 healthy donors are implanted. Because of the difficulty encountered in finding 2 donors with ideal size matching, various transplant procedures have been developed in our institution. The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare outcomes of nonstandard LDLLT with standard LDLLT.
Methods: Between June 2008 and January 2016, we performed 65 LDLLTs for critically ill patients. Functional size matching was performed by estimating graft forced vital capacity based on the donor's measured forced vital capacity and the number of pulmonary segments implanted. For anatomical size matching, 3dimensional computed tomography volumetry was performed. In cases of oversize mismatch, single-lobe transplant or downsizing transplant was performed. In cases of undersize mismatch, native upper lobe sparing transplant or rightleft inverted transplant was performed. In right-left inverted transplants, the donor's right lower lobe was inverted and implanted into the recipient's left chest cavity.
Results: Twenty-nine patients (44.6%) received nonstandard LDLLT, including 12 single-lobe transplants, 7 native upper lobe sparing transplants, 6 right-left inverted transplants, 2 sparing + inverted transplants, and 2 others. Thirty-six patients (57.4%) received standard LDLLT. Three-and five-year survival rates were similar between the 2 groups (89.1% and 76.6% after nonstandard LDLLT vs 78.0% and 71.1% after standard LDLLT, P = .712).
Conclusions: Various transplant procedures such as single, sparing and inverted transplants are valuable options when 2 donors with ideal size matching are not available for LDLLT.

Purpose: We have reported loss of SMAD4 promotes expression of CCL15 from colorectal cancer to recruit CCR1(+) myeloid cells through the CCL15-CCR1 axis, which contributes to invasion and liver metastasis. However, the molecular mechanism of lung metastasis is yet to be elucidated. Our purpose is to determine whether similar mechanism is involved in the lung metastasis of colorectal cancer.
Experimental Design: In a mouse model, we examined whether SMAD4 could affect the metastatic activity of colorectal cancer cells to the lung through the CCL15-CCR1 axis. We immunohistochemically analyzed expression of SMAD4, CCL15, and CCR1 with 107 clinical specimens of colorectal cancer lung metastases. We also characterized the CCR1(+) myeloid cells using several cell-type-specific markers.
Results: In a mouse model, CCL15 secreted from SMAD4-deficient colorectal cancer cells recruited CCR1(+) cells, promoting their metastatic activities to the lung. Immunohistochemical analysis of lung metastases from colorectal cancer patients revealed that CCL15 expression was significantly correlated with loss of SMAD4, and that CCL15-positive metastases recruited approximately 1.9 times more numbers of CCR1(+) cells than CCL15-negative metastases. Importantly, patients with CCL15-positive metastases showed a significantly shorter relapse-free survival (RFS) than those with CCL15-negative metastases, and multivariate analysis indicated that CCL15 expression was an independent predictor of shorter RFS. Immunofluorescent staining showed that most CCR1(+) cells around lung metastases were tumor-associated neutrophil, although a minor fraction was granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell.
Conclusions: CCL15-CCR1 axis may be a therapeutic target to prevent colorectal cancer lung metastasis. CCL15 can be a bio-marker indicating poor prognosis of colorectal cancer patients with lung metastases. (C) 2016 AACR.

Lung cancer treatment is difficult owing to chemoresistance. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and HIF-1-induced glycolysis are correlated with chemoresistance; however, this is not evident in lung cancer. We investigated the effect of HIF-1 and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), a transmembrane protein neutralizing intracellular acidosis, on chemoresistance and prognosis of lung cancer patients after induction chemoradiotherapy. Associations of HIF-1, glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), and CAIX with chemoresistance of lung cancer were investigated using A549 lung cancer cells under normoxia or hypoxia in vitro. HIF-1-induced reprogramming of glucose metabolic pathway in A549 cells and the effects of HIF-1 and CAIX on the cytotoxicity of vinorelbine were investigated. Immunohistochemical analyses were performed to determine HIF-1, GLUT1, and CAIX expression levels in cancer specimens from lung cancer patients after induction chemoradiotherapy. Hypoxia induced HIF-1 expression in A549 cells. Moreover, hypoxia induced GLUT1 and CAIX expression in A549 cells in a HIF-1-dependent manner. Glucose metabolic pathway was shifted from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis by inducing HIF-1 in A549 cells. HIF-1 and CAIX induced chemoresistance under hypoxia, and their inhibition restored the chemosensitivity of A549 cells. The expression levels of HIF-1, GLUT1, and CAIX were associated with poor overall survival of lung cancer patients after induction chemoradiotherapy. HIF-1 and CAIX affected the chemosensitivity of A549 cells and prognosis of lung cancer patients. Therefore, inhibition of HIF-1 and CAIX might improve prognosis of lung cancer patients after induction chemoradiotherapy. Further analysis might be helpful in developing therapies for lung cancer.
