#Researchers Smash Records with Pig-to-Primate Organ transplants With the financial aid of a biotechnology executive whose daughter may need a lung transplant,
The researchers say they have kept a pig heart alive in a baboon for 945 days
The experiments used organs from pigs umanizedwith the addition of as many as five human genes, a strategy designed to stop organ rejection.
The GM pigs are being produced in Blacksburg Virginia, by Revivicor, a division of the biotechnology company United Therapeutics.
That company founder and co-CEO, Martine Rothblatt, is noted a futurist who four years ago began spending millions to supply researchers with pig organs
Rothblatt says her goal is to create n unlimited supply of transplantable organsand to carry out the first successful pig-to-human lung transplant within a few years.
In addition to GM pigs, her company is carrying out research on tissue-engineered lungs and cryopreservation of organs. ee turning xenotransplantation from
Some researchers agree with Rothblatt that the latest results mean pig-to-human transplants are plausible. think it possible;
He said he would transplant a genetically engineered pig organ into a patient today, were the patient situation desperate enough.
and she has outlined plans for a facility able to breed 1, 000 pigs a year,
The human body reacts even more strongly to pig tissue since pigs are genetically more distant. All human tests of pig organs have ended quickly, and badly.
A Los angeles woman who got a pig liver in 1992 died within 34 hours. The last time a doctor transplanted a pig heart into a person, in India in 1996,
he was arrested for murder. Researchers continue to work with pigs because theye in ready supply,
and the organs of young pigs are about the right size. In order to beat the rejection problem,
researchers began trying to genetically modify the animals. One major step came in 2003 when David Ayares
a cofounder of Revivicor, created pigs whose organs lacked a sugar molecule that normally lines their blood vessels.
That molecule was the major culprit behind what called hyperacute rejection, which had destroyed almost instantaneously transplanted pig organs.
Removing the sugar molecule helped. But it wasn enough. Tests in monkeys showed that other forms of organ rejection still damaged the pig tissue,
albeit more slowly. To combat these effects, Ayares team has made pigs with more and more human genes.
For instance, one gene that been added produces the human version of thrombomodulin, a molecule that prevents clotting in blood vessels.
Although pigs have their own version of thrombomodulin it the wrong shape and doesn work correctly with human blood. e are adding the human genes to the pig
so you have the organ repressing the immune response, rather than have to give a whopping dose of immune suppressants,
says Ayares. By next year, some of the pigs will have as many as eight added human genes.
These genetic changes make their organs more compatible with a human body, but the animals still look
and act like normal pigs. Genetically engineering the pigs isn easy. It challenging to insert human genes
and difficult to get them to function correctly. ou try to put all your genes into one parcel so they go to one place in the genome,
who leads a German consortium developing transgenic pigs. t very cumbersome. Creating a good pig is really like winning the lottery. n the United states,
leading transplant surgeons have been meeting with Revivicor ever few months to plan what genes they like to see added next.
and inserting them into pig cells. It is left to Revivicor to produce piglets from these engineered cells
or 100 iterations. et surgeons credit the genetically enhanced pigs with some recent successes. Muhammad Mohiuddin,
and Blood Institute, in Bethesda, Maryland, says a heart from one of Revivicor pigs lasted two and a half years inside a baboon.
Also this summer, transplant experts at the University of Pittsburgh said they kept a baboon alive with one of Revivicor pig kidneys for more than four months.
That set a record for the longest ife-sustainingxenotransplant between a pig and a primate.
the pig heart was attached to the baboon circulatory system and was able to beat, but it didn have to do the work of pumping blood,
Mohiuddin says the pig heart gave out only when he decided to stop giving the baboon the novel immune-blocking drugs he had used. e believe it could have gone on forever,
and 40 percent due to better drugs. eichart calls the survival of these pig hearts major breakthrough.
That is because surgeons still need to completely replace a baboon heart with one from these pigs
