To compare UW-solution (UW) and Euro-Collins (EC) for long-term liver preservation we investigated the morphology and metabolic capacity of rat liver after 18 and 42-hours cold-storage in either UW or EC.After harvesting the rat liver was transferred to a perfusion chamber where it was perfused for 10 min with UW or EC at 4°C. Thereafter livers were stored at 4°C in UW or EC for 18 hours (both groups n = 6) or for 42 hours (both groups n = 8). After 18-hr or 42-hr cold-storage a 2-hr warm perfusion (37°C) was started with Krebs-Ringer solution with carbogen to which 125Iodine-triiodothyronine (T3) was added. Control livers (n = 8) were immediately perfused with Krebs-Ringer without cold-storage. The following parameters were assessed: ASAT-levels in the perfusate, T3-metabolites in the bile and the perfusate, the perfusion pressure, the volume of bile secreted and light-microscopical morphology at the end of the warm perfusion period.After cold storage in UW-solution the ASAT-levels in the perfusate were lower than after storage in EC as well as the perfusion pressures. These livers demonstrated a better T3-metabolism and secreted more bile than EC-stored livers. Histological examination showed more tissue damage in the EC-stored livers than in the UW stored livers.We conclude that cold-storage of rat liver in UW-solution resulted in a better morphology and metabolic capacity as compared with EC-solution.

Cold ischemic injury to the intestine during preservation remains an unresolved issue in transplantation medicine. Autophagy, a cytoplasmic protein degradation pathway, is essential for metabolic adaptation to starvation, hypoxia, and ischemia. It has been implicated in the cold ischemia (CI) of other transplantable organs. This study determines the changes in intestinal autophagy evoked by cold storage and explores the effects of autophagy on ischemic grafts. Cold preservation was simulated by placing the small intestines of Wistar rats in an IGL-1 (Institute George Lopez) solution at 4 °C for varying periods (3, 6, 9, and 12 h). The extent of graft preservation injury (mucosal and cellular injury) and changes in autophagy were measured after each CI time. Subsequently, we determined the differences in apoptosis and preservation injury after activating autophagy with rapamycin or inhibiting it with 3-methyladenine. The results revealed that ischemic injury and autophagy were induced by cold storage. Autophagy peaked at 3 h and subsequently declined. After 12 h of storage, autophagic expression was reduced significantly. Additionally, enhanced intestinal autophagy by rapamycin was associated with less tissue, cellular, and apoptotic damage during and after the 12-h long preservation. After reperfusion, grafts with enhanced autophagy still presented with less injury. Inhibiting autophagy exhibited the opposite trend. These findings demonstrate intestinal autophagy changes in cold preservation. Furthermore, enhanced autophagy was protective against cold ischemia–reperfusion damage of the small bowels.
