Abstract

Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (mTOR-I)/proliferation signal inhibitors (PSI) including sirolimus and everolimus represent a new class of drugs increasingly used in solid-organ transplantation as alternatives to calcineurin inhibitors for patients with renal dysfunction, transplant coronary arterial vasculopathy or malignancy. The most frequently occurring mTOR-I/PSI-related adverse events are similar to those associated with other immunosuppressive therapies, but some side effects are more characteristic of proliferation signal inhibitors (e.g. lymphocele, arthralgia, oedema and hyperlipidaemia). The present paper review incidence, clinical presentation and mechanism of oedema within the clinical experience of mTOR-I/PSI in solid organ transplantation.

<abstract>
<p>Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (mTOR-I)/proliferation signal inhibitors (PSI) including sirolimus and everolimus represent a new class of drugs increasingly used in solid-organ transplantation as alternatives to calcineurin inhibitors for patients with renal dysfunction, transplant coronary arterial vasculopathy or malignancy. The most frequently occurring mTOR-I/PSI-related adverse events are similar to those associated with other immunosuppressive therapies, but some side effects are more characteristic of proliferation signal inhibitors (e.g. lymphocele, arthralgia, oedema and hyperlipidaemia). The present paper review incidence, clinical presentation and mechanism of oedema within the clinical experience of mTOR-I/PSI in solid organ transplantation.</p>

<body>
<p>Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (mTOR-I)/proliferation signal inhibitors (PSI) including sirolimus (SRL) and everolimus (EVL) represent a new class of drugs increasingly used in solid organ transplantation as alternatives to calcineurin inhibitors for patients with renal dysfunction, transplant coronary arterial vasculopathy (TCAV) or malignancy [
<xref rid="SFU001C1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. Though generally well tolerated, the use of mTOR-I/PSI is associated with many side effects, which may account for the 20–40% drop-out rate for SRL/EVL in clinical Phase III trials. Some side effects are easily manageable, whereas others lead to drug discontinuation [
<xref rid="SFU001C2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
]. Oedema induced by mTOR-1/PSI takes different clinical forms ranging from the banal lymphocele to the dramatic angio-oedema (AE). This article reviews the incidence (Table 
<xref ref-type="table" rid="SFU001TB1">1</xref>
) [
<xref rid="SFU001C3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
<xref rid="SFU001C13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
], clinical presentation (Table

<xref rid="SFU001C14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
<xref rid="SFU001C24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>

<title>Lymphocele</title>
<p>Lymphocele is a well-known complication after kidney transplantation. It occurs among 0.6–22% of symptomatic patients being treated with cyclosporine (CsA)-based immunosuppression [
<xref rid="SFU001C25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
<xref rid="SFU001C31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
] and 49% of asymptomatic cases detected by ultrasonography during a 2- to 11-year follow-up [
<xref rid="SFU001C32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
]. mTOR-I/PSI are associated with an increased incidence of mild or moderate lymphocele. In clinical studies, the rates of lymphocele in renal transplant patients receiving a 6-month treatment with EVL 1.5–3.0 mg/day, or SRL 2.0–5.0 mg/day were 6.4–15.2 [
<xref rid="SFU001C33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
] and 12–13% [
<xref rid="SFU001C34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
], respectively. Post-marketing experience with SRL has demonstrated an increased incidence of lymphoceles. Factors predisposing to lymphocele formation include drainage from open lymphatics divided during surgery to dissect the host iliac vessels [
<xref rid="SFU001C29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
,
<xref rid="SFU001C35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>

] and adult polycystic kidney disease as the original renal disease [
<xref rid="SFU001C40" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>
]. Clinical experience shows that mild lymphocele can resolve itself, while moderate lymphocele usually responds to povidine-iodine [
<xref rid="SFU001C41" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
]. Although some patients who receive mTOR-1/PSI may develop early massive lymphocele that requires surgery, mTOR-1/PSI dose reduction or complete withdrawal is not necessary. Surgery for lymphocele is not common [

].</p>

<title>Eyelid oedema</title>
<p>Eyelid swelling is often the herald of significant systemic or periorbital disease. The aetiological list is extensive. Many medications—topical, oral and parenteral—are well recognized to create eyelid swelling through generalized fluid retention, AE, urticaria or topical blepharoconjunctivitis. mTOR-1/PSI-related eyelid oedema in kidney transplant recipients was described in a few case reports of SRL- [
<xref rid="SFU001C18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
,
<xref rid="SFU001C23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
] and EVL-based [
<xref rid="SFU001C43" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
] treatments. Development of eyelid oedema was gradual, occurring over 1–5 months after starting mTOR-I/PSI. The oedema may be mild and easily managed with low-dose furosemide and reduction of SRL dose was not warranted. In some patients, discontinuation of mTOR-I/PSI was followed by delayed resolution of the swelling, with full recovery taking as long as months. The underlying mechanism is unknown.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="s4">
<title>Oedema and lymphoedema</title>
<p>Leg swelling is an extremely frequent symptom with a broad variety of largely differing causes. The most important mechanisms behind the symptom include venous and lymphatic pathology, volume overload, increased capillary permeability and lowered oncotic pressure. Therefore, the most frequent diseases associated with leg swelling are deep vein thrombosis and chronic venous insufficiency, primary or secondary lymphoedema, cardiac failure, hypoproteinaemia, idiopathic cyclic oedema and drug-induced oedema. Lymphoedema may be primary (congenital lymphatic abnormality) or secondary, frequently related to cancer treatment. Other causes of secondary lymphoedema include obstruction by tumour, infection (filariasis), recurrent cellulitis and connective tissue disease. A less-common form of oedema is lymphoedema, which causes an abnormality in the lymphatic system. The most common cause is interruption of the axillary lymphatic system by surgery and/or radiation therapy in women with breast cancer.</p>
<p>Unilateral or bilateral peripheral oedema/lymphoedema is common following the initiation of mTOR-I/PSI use [
<xref rid="SFU001C24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
,
<xref rid="SFU001C43" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
] and frequently sufficiently severe enough to require medication discontinuation. However, it may be less frequent with EVL with a retrospective series reporting 4- to 5-fold less oedema when compared with matched SRL-treated patients (14 versus 64%), respectively [
<xref rid="SFU001C14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]. It has been mentioned that a preponderance in any specific gender is unlikely and it develops 7 months to 2 years after the start of SRL (mean SRL levels ranging from 10 to 20 ng/mL) [
<xref rid="SFU001C20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
] or a few days to 36 months after the start of EVL (mean EVL levels ranging from 3 to 26 ng/mL) in an arm- or leg-localized lymphoedema form of varying severity (Table 
<xref ref-type="table" rid="SFU001TB2">2</xref>
). Usually, peripheral oedema/lymphoedema was controlled with low doses of furosemide accompanied by reduction of the immunosuppressant [
<xref rid="SFU001C43" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
]. mTOR-I/PSI-related lymphoedema is not dependent on its cumulative dosage and exposure duration. [
<xref rid="SFU001C20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
] Early discontinuation of the drug may prevent permanent disfigurement [
<xref rid="SFU001C44" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>
]. Moreover, the occurrence of limb lymphoedema in renal transplant recipients under SRL treatment, especially if on the same side as the haemodialysis access, should alert the transplant physician to the need for rapid SRL reduction or withdrawal, before complete obstruction occurs, further complicating an already disabling condition. [
<xref rid="SFU001C19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
] Close monitoring of this side effect is warranted. Recognizing this association may prevent many unnecessary, costly and invasive investigations. The pathophysiology seems to be due to altered lymphatic drainage [
<xref rid="SFU001C18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
,
<xref rid="SFU001C19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
]. The lymphatic vasculature transports extravasated tissue fluid, macromolecules and cells back into the blood circulation. One pathway of regulation of cell growth and proliferation is mediated by the regulatory associated protein of mTOR (raptor)—G protein β-subunit-like protein (GβL)—and mTOR complex, which is a target of rapamycin. Important downstream effectors of the mTOR system are the translation regulators p70S6 kinase and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein [
<xref rid="SFU001C45" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>
]. The mTOR pathway is regulated by the PI3K/AKT kinase system, which is upregulated in tumours. Activation of PI3K/AKT causes activation of mTOR and promotes cell growth and proliferation. Lymphatic endothelium expresses VEGF receptor-3 (VEGFR-3), which is activated after binding to VEGF-C, and VEGF-D plays an important role in lymphangiogenesis. The gene that encodes VEGFR-3 (FLT4) is defective in most families with congenital hereditary lymphoedema [
<xref rid="SFU001C46" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
] and impaired lymphangiogenesis and lymphoedema is observed in soluble VEGFR-3 (VEGF-C/VEGFD signaling inhibitor) expressing transgenic mice [
<xref rid="SFU001C47" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>
]. Missense mutations of VEGFR-3 prevent normal lymphatic growth in humans [
<xref rid="SFU001C46" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
]. Huber
<italic>et al</italic>
. [
<xref rid="SFU001C48" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>
] demonstrate that rapamycin interferes with the intracellular VEGF-C-activated pathway of lymphatic endothelial cells. In rapamycin-treated animals, the anti lymphangiogenic effect during tissue regeneration occurs with prolonged lymphoedema, emphasizing the clinical relevance of this effect of the mTOR inhibition in solid organ transplant recipients.</p>

<sec id="s5">
<title>Effusions</title>
<p>An increased incidence of pleural and pericardial effusions has been described in mTOR-I/PSI-treated renal and cardiac transplant patients. The frequency of pericardial effusions following cardiac transplant is 3-fold greater in SRL-treated patients often requiring interventions such as drainage with or without SRL dose reductions [
<xref rid="SFU001C49" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>
<xref rid="SFU001C51" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>
]. The prevalence of effusions, pleural and pericardial, is similar between mycophenolate mofetil-(MMF) and EVL-treated patients, suggesting that this side effect may be PSI specific with greater frequency seen in SRL- versus EVL-treated patients [
<xref rid="SFU001C3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
]. Cases of pericardial tamponade have been described following the initiation of SRL both in

<title>Angio-oedema</title>
<p>AE is a self-limiting swelling that occurs in the deeper cutaneous and mucous membrane layers. Most cases of AE result from a reaction to food or drugs, but some episodes have no identifiable trigger.</p>
<p>Drug-induced AE is well documented in patients taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRA), fibrinolytic agents, oestrogens and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [
<xref rid="SFU001C52" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>
]. In addition, the frequency of ACEI-induced AE is high in transplant recipients, estimated at ∼1–5 versus 0.1–0.5% in the general population [
<xref rid="SFU001C53" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>

<xref rid="SFU001C54" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>
]. Abbosh
<italic>et al.</italic>
[
<xref rid="SFU001C54" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>
] reported a 24- and 5-fold higher incidence of AE in cardiac and renal transplant recipients, respectively, who were maintained on cyclosporin A, azathioprine and prednisone when compared with the general population. Several reports focused on the putative role of mTOR-I/PSI (SRL and EVL) in the pathogenesis of AE in organ transplant recipients [
<xref rid="SFU001C17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>

<xref rid="SFU001C22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
,
<xref rid="SFU001C55" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>
<xref rid="SFU001C58" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>
]. In previous reports, AE associated with SRL occurred in 2.2–15% of patients [
<xref rid="SFU001C57" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>
,
<xref rid="SFU001C59" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>
]. The associated risk factors were ACEI therapy or African-American patients taking metoprolol [
<xref rid="SFU001C55" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>
,
<xref rid="SFU001C57" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>

<xref rid="SFU001C60" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>
<xref rid="SFU001C62" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>
]. Fuchs
<italic>et al.</italic>
[
<xref rid="SFU001C17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
] reported that 6 out of their 114 patients (5.3%) experienced for the first time in their lives the occurrence of lingual AE after switching them over to EVL. The time period from starting mTOR-I/PSI to the occurrence of AE ranged from 1 to 41 days. In all six patients, the AE was associated with petechial bleeding and with lingual bullae on the lateral part of the tongue and required hospitalization. At the time when the AE occurred, the following concomitant medications were used: acetyl-salicylic acid (ASS), ACE inhibitors or angiotensin-1-receptor inhibitors. Because the symptoms ceased after discontinuation of ASS in five out of the six patients, it may well be that ASS has triggered the occurrence of EVL-associated side effects. However, the time course after initiation of the immunosuppressive drug, the recurrence in one patient, and the favourable outcome after stopping the drug provide an argument for the pathogenic link between EVL and tongue AE [
<xref rid="SFU001C17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. Lingual oedema seems to occur predominantly within the first weeks after initiation of mTOR-I/PSI therapy. Drug trough level at presentation is variable within or below the target level or in the toxic range [
<xref rid="SFU001C17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. A lack of C1-esterase inhibitor could be excluded in all patients. A history of food and/or drug allergies and a lack of C1-esterase inhibitor could be excluded in all patients. In all cases, the condition responded promptly to parenteral steroids, H1 and H2 blockers and discontinuation of SRL. In the majority of patients, the AE seems to disappear without further recurrence after adequate therapy of the symptoms. The responsibility of mTOR-I/PSI in the pathogenesis of AE is suggested either as the sole aetiological factor or more probably as a cofactor [

<p>In conclusion, mTOR-I/PSI may facilitate the occurrence of oedema. This specific adverse event can be easily managed without discontinuation of the drug. It is important to be aware of this phenomenon to avoid burdensome and cost-intense investigations for patients showing this symptom during treatment with mTOR-I/PSI.</p>
