Spontaneous tolerance of liver allografts can be observed in inbred rats. In order to study the influence of the density of major histocompatibility complex alloantigens on the fate of liver allografts in the rat, liver allografts were performed in a semi-allogeneic and a fully allogeneic combination. Comparisons of the fate of heart and kidney allografts were made in the same combinations. A similar proportion of spontaneously tolerated liver allografts was observed in the two combinations; after a few months these animals were in a state of donor-specific unresponsiveness. A spontaneous prolongation of kidney allografts was observed only in the semi-allogeneic combination. These animals were not in a state of donor-specific unresponsiveness. These results suggest that induction of liver allograft tolerance in the rat is not decisively influenced by the importance of the density of major histocompatibility complex antigens present on the graft and that its mechanism may be different from that which causes spontaneous prolongation of semi-allogeneic kidney allografts. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Results of clinical liver transplantation have shown that rejection and loss of human liver allografts occurs despite immunosuppression. Because genetic disparity and liver immunogenicity remain a matter of controversy, we reexamined the fate of outbred liver allografts without immunosuppression and used partially inbred miniature swine, in which the genetics of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens have been characterized and can be controlled. METHODS: Orthotopic liver transplantation was performed between pairs of outbred domestic farm pigs and between pairs of inbred miniature swine with genetically defined major histocompatibility (SLA) loci. A passive splenic and vena caval to jugular vein shunt with systemic heparinization prevented hypotension during the anhepatic phase. Immunological responses were monitored by mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC), CML, skin graft rejection, liver biopsies, and serial serum chemistries. RESULTS: Median survival of technically successful liver allografts between pairs of outbred pigs (n=20) was 38 days and between partially inbred swine matched at the SLA locus (n=17) was 79 days. MLC responsiveness did not correlate with the development of rejection. Five of 20 (25%) outbred pigs and 6 of 17 (35%) MHC matched inbred miniature swine survived more than 100 days. In the long-term survivors, donor, but not third party, MHC matched skin graft survival times were prolonged. In contrast, all SLA-mismatched inbred recipients (n=26) died rapidly from massive liver rejection, with a median survival time of 9 days. In these rejecting animals, the marked MLC responsiveness to donor lymphocytes evident pretransplant diminished rapidly after transplantation, but an undiminished PHA responsiveness and a blunted third party MLC response persisted. CONCLUSION: The length of survival and the degree and incidence of rejection were similar in outbred pigs and in SLA-matched inbred miniature pigs, indicating that the outbred animals were, therefore, probably closely related and shared relevant genes. However, survival was significantly shortened and liver allograft rejection was accelerated in SLA-mismatched inbred swine. These results indicate that major histocompatibility differences play an important role in the rejection of liver allografts, as is true for other vascularized grafts in the unimmunosuppressed recipient. The development of liver allograft rejection across non-MHC differences is variable and, when present, appears to be a chronic process. 相似文献

A 12-day course of FK506 allows long-term acceptance of semi-identical liver allograft in inbred miniature swine 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
BACKGROUND: Spontaneous tolerance to liver allograft has been reported previously in outbred pig models, but the lack of genetic background did not allow to analyze the impact of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on tolerance induction. A model of semi-identical liver allograft was therefore developed in inbred miniature swine in order to mimic the clinical situation of living related liver transplant (parent into infant) and to study a protocol for inducing tolerance to liver allograft. METHODS: SLAdd (class Id/d, class IId/d) pigs received orthotopic liver allograft from heterozygous SLAcd (class Ic/d, class IIc/d) miniature swine. Eight animals did not receive immunosuppression. Fourteen SLAdd animals had a 12-day course of FK506 and were divided in two subgroups. In subgroup FK-1, six pigs received a daily intramuscular injection of FK506 at 0.1-0.4 mg/kg, in order to reach daily trough levels between 7 and 20 ng/ml; in subgroup FK-2, eight additional animals received two daily injections of FK506 at 0.05 mg/kg regardless of the daily trough levels. Graft survival, liver biological tests, histology, cellular and humoral immune responses, as well as detection of microchimerism were assessed in all groups. RESULTS: All untreated animals rejected their allograft and died within 28.1 +/- 9.5 days. These rejector animals developed a significant anti-donor cellular and humoral immune response. No peripheral or lymphoid tissue microchimerism was detected in this group. In contrast, long-term survival was obtained in five FK-treated animals (112, 154, 406, 413, and 440 days), whereas several pigs died with a normal allograft function from either overimmunosuppression or intercurrent causes. All FK-treated pigs developed a specific anti-donor unresponsiveness in both cell mediated lymphocytotoxicity and mixed lymphocyte reaction and did not develop anti-donor alloantibodies. The study of the anti-donor immune response by mixed lymphocyte reaction, during the first postoperative week, demonstrated a specific anti-donor unresponsiveness in the peripheral blood from the first posttransplant day. Although microchimerism was detectable in the peripheral blood for several postoperative weeks (maximum 10 weeks) in FK-treated animals, donor cells or DNA were not detected during the long-term follow-up in peripheral blood or lymphoid tissues. CONCLUSIONS: Spontaneous tolerance to semi-identical orthotopic liver allograft did not occur, whereas a 12-day course of FK506 allowed long-term graft acceptance. All FK-treated animals developed in vitro signs of specific immune unresponsiveness and transient peripheral microchimerism. The specific anti-donor cellular unresponsiveness occurred on the first postoperative day after surgery and was of long-term duration. The study of the early immunological events in this model could be of major importance regarding clinical living related liver transplantation. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: After donor-specific transfusion, tolerance to heart transplants is serially passed to naive rats by the adoptive transfer of long-term survivor (LTS)-tolerant splenocytes (SC). We examined whether regulatory cells similarly develop after the spontaneously accepted Lewis (LEW) to Dark Agouti (DA) liver transplants. METHODS: SC from a LTS DA rat with a LEW liver were adoptively transferred to a naive DA 1 day before transplantation of an irradiated (1000 rad) LEW liver. RESULTS: Untreated LEW to DA liver allografts were uniformly accepted; whereas all irradiated LEW liver grafts were rejected. In contrast, when 1.5 x 10 8 DA LTS SC were transferred to a naive DA recipient, all irradiated LEW liver grafts were accepted. When decreased to 1.0 x 10 8 LTS DA SC, only 1 of 4 irradiated LEW grafts was accepted. However, if 1.5 x 10 8 DA SC harvested only 30 days after liver transplantation were transferred, only 2 of 5 irradiated LEW liver grafts were accepted. The serial second and third adoptive transfers of 1.5 x 10 8 DA LTS SC also resulted in the uniform acceptance of irradiated LEW livers. CONCLUSION: Regulatory cells that develop after the spontaneous acceptance of a LEW to DA liver transplant can serially transfer tolerance to new naive LEW liver allograft DA recipients. This "infectious tolerance" is dependent on the time of cell harvest after transplantation and on the cell dose given. 相似文献

Evidence is presented that in rats the subcutaneous site can extend privilege to both major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-incompatible (FI X DA)F1 leads to FI and MHC-compatible LEW leads to FI skin allografts, approximately doubling the median survival time of similar grafts transplanted orthotopically. Unlike graft dosage, "gene" dosage was an important variable in that grafts from (FI X DA)F1 donors significantly outlived those from DA strain donors. Prior splenectomy of the hosts did not prejudice the capacity of their subcutaneous sites to extend privilege. It was found that the hemagglutinin response incited by subcutaneous grafts was significantly delayed compared with that evoked by similar grafts transplanted orthotopically or intraperitoneally. This observation, coupled with our inability to demonstrate the passage of India ink to regional lymph nodes after its injection into the dermis of established subcutaneous grafts of syngenic skin, is consistent with the concept that poor endowment of the subcutaneous milieu with both blood and lymph vessels is the principal factor underlying its hospitality to allografts. 相似文献

We have previously reported that tolerance to class I disparate lung allografts in miniature swine could be induced using an intensive 12-day course of tacrolimus and that pretransplant sensitization with immunogenic MHC class I allopeptides failed to block the induction of tolerance. We also have previously reported the importance of the presence of the thymus in the induction of tolerance to isolated heart, kidney, and combined heart-kidney transplants. In this study, we examined the impact of thymectomy on tolerance induction in lung transplantation. METHODS: Orthotopic left lung transplantation was performed using MHC class I-disparate donors. The recipients received a 12-day course of high-dose tacrolimus (n = 6). Total thymectomies were performed in three of the swine 21 days prior to transplantation. Lung grafts were monitored by chest radiography and serial open lung biopsy. RESULTS: All euthymic recipients maintained their grafts for over 1 year. None of the thymectomized recipients has experienced graft loss in the 6 to 10 months following transplantation. Although isolated lesions of obliterative bronchiolitis were occasionally seen in one thymectomized animal on biopsy, donor-specific unresponsiveness has been observed on assays of cell-mediated lymphocytotoxicity in all recipients. Moreover, co-culture assays have shown that recipient lymphocytes can strongly inhibit the normally robust response of na?ve recipient-matched lymphocytes to donor antigen. This inhibition was not seen when using stimulators primed with third-party antigens against appropriate targets. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that thymus-independent peripheral regulatory mechanisms may be sufficient to induce and maintain long-term acceptance of the lung allografts. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Although graft-resident passenger leukocytes are known to mediate acute rejection by triggering direct allorecognition, they may also act in an immunomodulatory fashion and play an important role in tolerance induction. Our purpose in the current study was to utilize rat bone marrow chimeras to evaluate the role of the genotype of passenger leukocytes in both acute rejection and tolerance of liver allografts. METHODS: The fate of livers bearing donor-type, recipient-type, and third-party passenger leukocytes was evaluated in the MHC class I and II mismatched rejector combination ACI-->LEW and the acceptor combination PVG-->DA. RESULTS: We report that although treatment of ACI liver donors with lethal irradiation does not lead to prolongation of graft survival in the ACI-->LEW strain combination, ACI livers bearing recipient-type (LEW) or third-party passenger leukocytes (BN) are rejected at a significantly slower rate. We confirm that lethal irradiation of PVG donor animals leads to abrogation of tolerance induction with acute rejection of their livers by DA recipients. However, the majority of PVG livers carrying donor-type (PVG), recipient-type (DA), or third-party (LEW) passenger leukocytes are accepted for >100 days. These DA recipients develop immune tolerance to the donor parenchyma (PVG). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate that long-term acceptance of liver allografts and tolerance induction is not dependent on the presence of donor-type passenger leukocytes and can be achieved with organs carrying donor-type, recipient-type, or third-party passenger leukocytes. The importance of the MHC framework on the surface of passenger leukocytes as a critical regulator of the immune response after transplantation of chimeric organs is substantiated by the delayed tempo of rejection of ACI livers bearing recipient-type or third-party passenger leukocytes in the ACI-->LEW strain combination. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Long-term acceptance of semi-identical orthotopic liver transplants (OLTs) in inbred swine is induced by a 12-day course of FK506. To study whether acceptance is attributable to central or peripheral immune mechanisms, the effect of complete thymectomy was determined. METHODS: Total thymectomy was performed in 15 swine 3 to 4 weeks before OLT. Twelve of these animals received a 12-day course of FK506 after OLT, and three animals did not receive immunosuppression. Five additional nonthymectomized pigs received OLT and a FK506 regimen. Graft survival, liver function, histology, and cellular and humoral responses were assessed. RESULTS: Nonthymectomized, FK506-treated animals uniformly showed long-term acceptance of OLT and developed stable donor unresponsiveness. Of the 12 thymectomized, FK506-treated pigs, seven died of non-immunologic causes within 3 postoperative months, and five maintained their OLT for more than 6 months (range 180-450 days). Among these survivors, two developed a complete anti-donor response (mixed lymphocyte reaction [MLR], cell-mediated lymphocytotoxicity [CML], and immunoglobulin [IgG] antibodies) and eventually rejected their OLT at postoperative day 180. The three remaining pigs kept their liver allografts up to 450 days and developed a donor-specific unresponsiveness (a transient anti-donor MLR was observed during the follow-up but never an anti-donor CML or IgG antibodies). All three thymectomized, untreated animals rejected their allografts acutely and displayed a complete anti-donor response (MLR, CML, and IgG antibodies). CONCLUSIONS: Complete thymectomy before OLT impaired but did not uniformly abrogate long-term acceptance of semi-identical OLT, suggesting that peripheral immune mechanisms may be sufficient to induce long-term acceptance of liver allografts in some recipients. 相似文献

Serial fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) were used for clinical monitoring of human liver allografts. Nine liver allograft recipients were monitored with FNAB at 1-3 day intervals. No complications were recorded. All patients underwent at least 1 inflammatory episode of acute rejection; altogether 11 episodes, all reversible, were recorded. The inflammatory infiltrate consisted mainly of lymphoid cells, including lymphoid blasts, with minor involvement of monocytes, monoblasts, and macrophages. Further analysis of lymphoid cell subpopulations by immunoperoxidase techniques demonstrated an increase of T cells during rejection, both the CD4 (T4) and CD8 (T8) subsets were increased. A slight increase of B cells in the graft was also seen. The CD4/CD8 (T4/T8) ratio was first low, peaked at the onset, and decreased toward the end of the episode. No clear correlations to the intragraft cellular events were recorded in corresponding blood specimens. However, an episode of eosinophilia was seen in the blood at the beginning of rejection, correlating with fever in the recipient. Degenerative changes in the parenchymal cells and bile droplets in the hepatocytes, indicating cholestasis and hepatocyte damage, were seen during all episodes of rejection, and these changes persisted even 10 days after the inflammation had subsided. The FNAB-findings correlated well with biochemical laboratory parameters, but the diagnosis of rejection could be established by the FNAB already 1-5 days earlier than elevated serum values indicated liver dysfunction. 相似文献

We performed a prospective randomized double-blinded study to test preservative-free S(+)-ketamine alone or in combination with clonidine for intra- and postoperative caudal blockade in pediatric surgery over a 24-h period. Fifty-three children (1-72 mo) scheduled for inguinal hernia repair were caudally injected with either S(+)-ketamine 1 mg/kg alone (Group K) or with additional clonidine (Group C1 = 1 microg/kg; Group C2 = 2 microg/kg) during sevoflurane anesthesia via a laryngeal mask. Intraoperative monitoring included heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse oximetry; postoperative monitoring included a pain discomfort scale and a sedation score. No additional analgesic drugs were required during surgery. The mean duration of postoperative analgesia was 13.3 +/- 9.2 h in Group K, 22.7 +/- 3.5 h in Group C1, and 21.8 +/- 5.2 h in Group C2 (P < 0.0001, Group K versus other groups). Groups C1 and C2 received significantly fewer analgesics in the postoperative period than Group K (15% and 18% vs 63%; P < 0.01). The three groups had similar postoperative sedation scores. We conclude that the combination of S(+)-ketamine 1 mg/kg with clonidine 1 or 2 microg/kg for caudal blockade in children provides excellent analgesia without side effects over a 24-h period. IMPLICATIONS: Caudally administered preservative-free S(+)-ketamine combined with 1 or 2 microg/kg clonidine provides excellent perioperative analgesia in children and has minimal side effects. 相似文献

Liver allografts have a privileged status with regard to hyperacute rejection. In this experimental study, we have used extracorporeal liver hemoperfusion in sensitized rats in order to analyze reactions between lymphocytotoxic antibodies and the liver. In sensitized BN rats, a donor-specific (Lewis) extracorporeal liver hemoperfusion can delay hyperacute rejection of heart allografts and reduce the level of lymphocytotoxic antibodies. The decrease in the level of antibodies could be due to massive absorption of antibodies by the liver or to release of major histocompatibility complex antigens in a soluble form. Immunofluorescent examination of the hemoperfused liver revealed important deposits of C3 on Kupffer cells and of IgG on sinusoidal cells. On the contrary, in control rats in which a third-party (DA) liver hemoperfusion was performed, heart allograft survival was less prolonged, the decrease in the level of lymphocytotoxic antibodies was not significant, and the deposits of IgG and C3 were much less evident. The level of circulating immune complexes was unchanged after a donor-specific or a third-party liver hemoperfusion. These results support the hypothesis that resistance of the liver to hyperacute rejection might be due to a massive and nontoxic absorption of lymphocytotoxic antibodies on nonparenchymal liver cells. 相似文献

It has been suggested that liver allografts are less sensitive to lymphocytotoxic antibodies than other organ allografts. In this experimental study in sensitized inbred rat recipients, we have used extracorporeal liver hemoperfusion to study interactions between the liver and lymphocytotoxic antibodies. Donor-specific liver hemoperfusion can delay hyperacute rejection of heart allografts and reduce the level of lymphocytotoxic antibodies. Immunofluorescence examination of the hemoperfused liver revealed deposits of C3 on Kupffer cells and of IgG on sinusoidal cells. In control rats in which a third-party liver, a donor-specific splenic or renal hemoperfusion was performed, heart allograft survival was less prolonged. The decrease in antibody levels was not significant and the deposit of C3 and IgG was much less evident. Similarly, previous blockade of the Kupffer cells of the donor-specific hemoperfused liver by dextran sulfate suppressed the effect of liver hemoperfusion. These results support the hypothesis that resistance of the liver to hyperacute rejection might be due to a massive and nontoxic absorption of lymphocytotoxic antibodies onto nonparenchymal liver cells. 相似文献

The induction of tolerance towards allogeneic solid organ grafts is one of the major goals in transplantation medicine. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) inhibit the immune response in vitro, and thus are promising candidate cells to promote acceptance of transplanted organs in vivo. Such novel approaches of tolerance induction are needed since, to date, graft acceptance can only be maintained through life-long treatment with unspecific immunosuppressants that are associated with toxic injury, opportunistic infections and malignancies. We demonstrate that donor-derived MSC induce long-term allograft acceptance in a rat heart transplantation model, when concurrently applied with a short course of low-dose mycophenolate. This tolerogenic effect of MSC is at least partially mediated by the expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), demonstrated by the fact that blocking of IDO with 1-methyl tryptophan (1-MT) abrogates graft acceptance. Moreover we hypothesize that MSC interact with dendritic cells (DC) in vivo, because allogeneic MSC are rejected in the long-term but DC acquire a tolerogenic phenotype after applying MSC. In summary, we demonstrate that MSC constitute a promising tool for induction of non-responsiveness in solid organ transplantation that warrants further investigation in clinical trials. 相似文献
