タイトル Development of donor-specific immunoregulatory T-cells after local CTLA4Ig gene transfer to pancreatic allograft.
ジャーナル Transplantation
Abstract BACKGROUND:CTLA4Ig gene transfer directly to graft tissue might have the potential to avoid the need for systemic immunosuppression. In our previous studies of bio-breeding (BB) rats, local adenovirus-mediated CTLA4Ig gene transfer protected the pancreas from autoimmune and alloimmune responses. This study investigated the potency of local CD28/B7 costimulatory blockade for induction of donor-specific tolerance and further examined the existing mechanisms.
METHODS:Brown Norway (BN; RT1)-pancreaticoduodenal grafts transfected with Ad.CTLA4Ig via intraarterial ex vivo perfusion were transplanted into streptozotocin-induced diabetic Lewis (LEW; RT1) rats.
RESULTS:Ad.CTLA4Ig transduced grafts combined with a short course of FK506 resulted in indefinitely prolonged survival (>156 days vs. 19.5 days with FK506 alone). CTLA4Ig was predominantly expressed in grafts on day 4. The expression was gradually diminished and was only slightly detectable at day >100. The proliferative responses against BN antigen were remarkably enhanced among recipients with rejected grafts, but the T-cells from tolerant recipients (>100 days) showed poor cytotoxic responses. On adoptive transfer assay, the splenic T-cells of tolerant recipients were able to suppress the rejection of BN, but not third-party Wistar Furth (WF; RT1) hearts in irradiated (480 cGy) LEW recipients. The percentage of CD4CD25 splenic T-cells was significantly increased in tolerant recipients (13.53 +/- 4.06% vs. 6.06 +/- 0.56% in naive rats).
CONCLUSION:CTLA4Ig gene transfer to the pancreaticoduodenal allograft combined with a short course of FK506 induces donor-specific tolerance. The mechanism of maintaining tolerance could be explained by development of splenic T suppressor cells.
