Assessment of peripheral tolerance in anti-CD4 treated C57BL/6 mouse heart transplants recipients.

The study was designed to compare second heart and skin grafts and in vitro assays as a means of assessing peripheral tolerance in C57BL/6 mice. Vascularized heterotopic BALB/c hearts were placed in C57BL/6 recipients treated with anti-CD4, GK1.5 (1 mg total per 20 g mouse i.p. on days 0, 1, 2, 3). Those mice in which hearts survived for >60 days were challenged with donor and third-party (CBA) skin grafts or with second heart grafts, of donor or third-party origin, attached to the carotid artery and jugular vein. In vitro alloreactivity was assessed by mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR) and cell mediated lympholysis (CML) using recipient spleen cells. Parenchymal damage, cellular infiltration and vascular disease were assessed from the histology of long-term allografts and isografts. Allografts in untreated recipients were rapidly rejected while isografts survived > 100 days. Primary allografts in anti-CD4 treated recipients also survived > 100 days, as did donor strain secondary heart transplants given at >60 days after the first graft. Third-party hearts were rapidly rejected, as were donor and third-party skin grafts placed on recipients with long-term allografts. These recipients showed low MLR response to both donor and third-party stimulators and donor-specific suppression of CML at 60 days post graft. Long-surviving heart allografts all showed evidence of parenchymal damage and vascular intimal thickening. Thus in the BALB/c to C57BL/6 donor-recipient strain combination, hearts, but not skin grafts, could be used to demonstrate peripheral tolerance, which seemed to be both organ and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) specific. Despite long survival, BALB/c hearts all showed evidence of parenchymal damage and vascular intimal thickening, a sign of chronic rejection.     

Distinct roles for major and minor antigen barriers in chimerism-based tolerance under irradiation-free conditions

Eliminating cytoreductive conditioning from chimerism-based tolerance protocols would facilitate clinical translation. Here we investigated the impact of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and minor histocompatibility antigen (MiHA) barriers on mechanisms of tolerance and rejection in this setting. Transient depletion of natural killer (NK) cells at the time of bone marrow (BM) transplantation (BMT) (20 × 10⁶ BALB/c BM cells → C57BL/6 recipients under costimulation blockade [CB] and rapamycin) prevented BM rejection. Despite persistent levels of mixed chimerism, BMT recipients gradually rejected skin grafts from the same donor strain. Extending NK cell depletion did not improve skin graft survival. However, F1 (C57BL/6×BALB/c) donors, which do not elicit NK cell-mediated rejection, induced durable chimerism and tolerance. In contrast, if F1 donors with BALB/c background only were used (BALB/c×BALB.B), no tolerance was observed. In the absence of MiHA disparities (B10.D2 donors, MHC-mismatch only), temporal NK cell depletion established stable chimerism and tolerance. Conversely, MHC identical BM (BALB.B donors, MiHA mismatch only) readily engrafted without NK cell depletion but no skin graft tolerance ensued. Therefore, we conclude that under CB and rapamycin, MHC disparities provoke NK cell-mediated BM rejection in nonirradiated recipients whereas MiHA disparities do not prevent BM engraftment but impede skin graft tolerance in established mixed chimeras.     

缺乏可诱导共刺激信号的供体特异性输血促进受体鼠T细胞凋亡的体内研究

目的 探讨缺乏可诱导共刺激分子(ICOS)/B7h信号的供体特异性输血(DST)对异基因小鼠心脏移植术后T细胞(Tc)凋亡的影响.方法 按陈氏方法建立小鼠颈部异位心脏移植模型,术后统计各组移植物的存活时间.实验分3组,异基因组:分别以BALB/c和C57BL/6为供、受体,不予治疗;同基因组:供、受体均为C57BL/6,不予治疗;治疗组:以BALB/c和C57BL/6为供、受体,给予治疗.通过流式细胞术检测受体鼠外周血CD8+ICOS+Tc亚群比例以及受体鼠引流淋巴结中CD8+Tc的凋亡情况.结果 与异基因组比,治疗组中心脏移植物存活时间明显延长[(84.4±29.1) d vs.(7.0±0.8) d,P＜0.01].与异基因组比,治疗组外周血CD8+Tc亚群无明显缩减,而在CD8+ICOS+Tc亚群中,治疗组中显著低于异基因组[(7.5±2.0)% vs.(14.0±3.0)%,P＜0.05].与异基因组比,治疗组受体移植术后7 d引流淋巴结中CD8+Tc凋亡比例显著上调[(19.5±5.1)% vs.(8.7±3.1)%,P＜0.05].结论 通过ICOS/B7h信号的供体特异性输血预处理可以诱导引流淋巴结中CD8+Tc凋亡,这与受体外周血中CD8+ICOS+Tc亚群变化相关,可能在耐受的诱导过程中起重要作用.     

Antigen-specific T-regulatory cells can extend skin graft survival time in mice

This study investigated the effects of donor antigen-specific CD4(+)CD25(+) T-regulatory cells (Tregs) on skin allografts in mice. An allogeneic skin transplant model was established using donor C57BL/6 or DBA and recipient BALB/c mice. Recipients were divided into 4 groups: control group without intervention (CON; C57BL/6 to BALB/c), rapamycin gavage group (RAP; C57BL/6 to BALB/c), CD4(+)CD25(+) Tregs-treated group (TRE; C57BL/6 to BALB/c), in which recipients received transfusions of CD4(+)CD25(+) Tregs stimulated with C57BL/6-derived immature dendritic cells, and the third-party donor group (DBA; DBA to BALB/c) in which recipients received transfusions of BALB/c CD4(+)CD25(+) Tregs stimulated with C57BL/6-derived immature dendritic cells. Mean (SD) survival time of the skin allografts in the TRE group was 17.0 (3.4) days, significantly longer than in the other groups: CON, 6.9 (1.9) days; RAP, 10.3 (3.0) days; and DBA, 10.8 (3.6) days. The TRE group demonstrated a significantly greater expression of transforming growth factor-β and interleukin (IL)-10. Donor antigen-specific CD4(+)CD25(+) Tregs effectively extend skin allograft survival in mice.     

The immunoregulatory roles of natural killer T cells in cyclophosphamide-induced tolerance

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have indicated that natural killer T (NKT) cells are essential for the establishment of transplantation tolerance. In the present study, we have elucidated the role of recipient and donor NKT cells in cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced tolerance. METHOD: DBA/2 (DBA; H-2) mice were used as donors and BALB/c (BALB; H-2) wild-type (WT) or Valpha14 NKT-knockout (KO, BALB/c background) mice were used as recipients. Recipients were treated with CP-induced tolerance regimen, which consists of donor spleen cells (SC) on day 0 and CP on day 2. In some experiments, NKT KO mice, which received NKT cells from either WT, inferon-gamma KO, or interleukin-4 KO mice, were treated with tolerant regimen. To deplete Ly49 inhibitory receptors on NKT cells in the recipient mice, anti-Ly49 monoclonal antibody cocktails were injected on day -1 when indicated. RESULTS: Donor skin graft was permanently accepted in recipient BALB WT mice with induction of donor mixed chimerism. On the contrary, donor DBA skin allografts were chronically rejected in NKT KO recipient. Lower levels of mixed chimerism were observed in NKT KO recipients comparing to the WT recipients. The production of interferon-gamma or interleukin-4 from NKT cells did not affect the induction of tolerance. Depletion of Ly49 positive NKT cells abrogated the induction of skin graft tolerance. CONCLUSION: Recipient NKT cells, but not donor NKT cells, were dominantly required for the induction of allograft tolerance. Our results indicated that the single cytokine produced by NKT cells did not mediate the regulatory function in the induction of allograft tolerance.     

Complement Dependence of Murine Costimulatory Blockade‐Resistant Cellular Cardiac Allograft Rejection

Building on studies showing that ischemia–reperfusion‐(I/R)‐injury is complement dependent, we tested links among complement activation, transplantation‐associated I/R injury, and murine cardiac allograft rejection. We transplanted BALB/c hearts subjected to 8‐h cold ischemic storage (CIS) into cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA4)Ig‐treated wild‐type (WT) or c3^?/? B6 recipients. Whereas allografts subjected to 8‐h CIS rejected in WT recipients with a median survival time (MST) of 37 days, identically treated hearts survived >60 days in c3^?/? mice (p < 0.05, n = 4–6/group). Mechanistic studies showed recipient C3 deficiency prevented induction of intragraft and serum chemokines/cytokines and blunted the priming, expansion, and graft infiltration of interferon‐γ–producing, donor‐reactive T cells. MST of hearts subjected to 8‐h CIS was >60 days in mannose binding lectin (mbl1^?/?mbl2^?/?) recipients and 42 days in factor B (cfb^?/?) recipients (n = 4–6/group, p < 0.05, mbl1^?/?mbl2^?/? vs. cfb^?/?), implicating the MBL (not alternative) pathway. To pharmacologically target MBL‐initiated complement activation, we transplanted BALB/c hearts subjected to 8‐h CIS into CTLA4Ig‐treated WT B6 recipients with or without C1 inhibitor (C1‐INH). Remarkably, peritransplantation administration of C1‐INH prolonged graft survival (MST >60 days, p < 0.05 vs. controls, n = 6) and prevented CI‐induced increases in donor‐reactive, IFNγ‐producing spleen cells (p < 0.05). These new findings link donor I/R injury to T cell–mediated rejection through MBL‐initiated, complement activation and support testing C1‐INH administration to prevent CTLA4Ig‐resistant rejection of deceased donor allografts in human transplant patients.
