Durable Mixed Chimerism May Permit Subsequent Immunosuppression-Free Intestinal Transplantation - a Proof-of-Principle Study.
Intestinal transplantation (ITx) is the definitive treatment for intestinal failure but has the highest rejection rate among solid organ transplants, requiring high doses of immunosuppression with high rates of infection, graft-versus-host disease, and malignancy. Transplant tolerance would overcome the need for long-term immunosuppression. Using non-myeloablative conditioning, our laboratory has developed a novel swine model of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) that produces durable mixed chimerism (MC) and immune tolerance without toxicity. We investigated whether durable MC would promote tolerance of subsequently transplanted donor-matched intestinal allografts without immunosuppression. Using miniature swine with defined MHC, we performed HSCT across an MHC-Class-I haplotype mismatch. Immunosuppression was stopped by day 45. MC was evaluated by flow cytometry, and mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) assays were used to evaluate cellular responses. Subsequently, orthotopic ITx was performed without immunosuppression using a donor that was MHC-matched to the HSCT donor. Recipients were observed for four weeks and euthanized for tissue collection and mechanistic assays. After HSCT, the recipients developed durable multilineage MC and apparent deletional tolerance. After ITx, recipients showed no clinical or histological signs of rejection, and chimerism was unchanged. These results demonstrate the potential value of generating durable MC to achieve transplant tolerance.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Transplantation is a leading journal in the field of transplantation. It serves as a forum for debate and reassessment, an agent of change, and a major platform for promoting understanding, improving results, and advancing science. Published monthly, it provides an essential resource for researchers and clinicians worldwide.
The journal publishes original articles, case reports, invited reviews, letters to the editor, critical reviews, news features, consensus documents, and guidelines over 12 issues a year. It covers all major subject areas in transplantation, including thoracic (heart, lung), abdominal (kidney, liver, pancreas, islets), tissue and stem cell transplantation, organ and tissue donation and preservation, tissue injury, repair, inflammation, and aging, histocompatibility, drugs and pharmacology, graft survival, and prevention of graft dysfunction and failure. It also explores ethical and social issues in the field.
