Increasing evidence has suggested that elevated systemic inflammation with a high neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is associated with poor prognosis after liver transplantation (LT). The ongoing molecular events involved in poor survival remain unclear. This retrospective study evaluated LT recipients whose data was collected at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital between 2005 and 2014. Clinical records of 347 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma from seven days before LT to 30 days after LT illustrated that longitudinal values of lymphocytes, RBC, and hemoglobin were persistently low in patients with peritransplant high NLR (PTH-NLR, pre-LT ≥ 4 and post-LT ≥ 5), which indicated a significantly worse survival rate in association with increased RDW-CV and pancytopenia when compared to other patients ( p = 0.008). We further found that PTH-NLR patients had decreased DNA damage response (DDR) genes and detoxifying enzymes of ADH and ALDH families, and increased mitochondrial stress response genes in their liver tissues. Reduced lineage markers of liver progenitor cells were also observed in PTH-NLR patients signifying the presence of unresolved impairments after LT. Our results demonstrate the association between hematopoietic deficiencies and lack of protection against DDR with PTH-NLR in LDLT recipients with HCC and may imply abnormal hematological and organismal defects in those patients.
