HLA-G y su función en trasplantes de órganos sólidos

Palabras clave: antígeno leucocitario humano G, trasplante de órganos, sobrevida

Resumen

El trasplante de órganos sólidos se ha considerado el fin último para algunas enfermedades crónicas en estadio terminal, sin embargo, las incompatibilidades del HLA entre el donante y el receptor pueden permitir que la alorespuesta se convierta en nociva para el órgano trasplantado, respuesta que puede ser tanto innata como adaptativa.

Se ha identificado el HLA-G como una molécula natural inductora de tolerancia principalmente en el embarazo y se considera una molécula del HLA clase I no clásico, sin embargo, comparte algunas características estructurales al HLA clásico. Los genes HLA-G se caracterizan por tener un limitado polimorfismo y una distribución celular y tisular restringida al trofoblasto fetal y células del epitelio tímico entre otras. La búsqueda persistente de la tolerancia en los trasplantes de órganos ha permitido un estudio específico del HLA-G, como posibilidad terapéutica para aumentar la sobrevida tanto de los injertos como de los pacientes trasplantados, es por tal motivo que se realiza una revisión en dicha molécula para estimular la investigación y entendimiento de sus funciones.
