BackgroundInduction immunosuppression strategies using a CD52 monoclonal antibody (mAb) have been introduced for small bowel transplantation, resulting in improved outcomes. However, little information is known about the effects of the antibody on the microstructure of the intestinal barrier, which functions to prevent bacterial translocation. In this study, we used a murine orthotopic small bowel transplantation model to investigate the impact of a CD52 mAb on tight junctions (TJs), which are considered a central part of the intestinal barrier, of the transplanted intestine.Materials and methodsC57BL/6 mice were used as recipients. The grafts were harvested from BALB/c mice in allogeneic groups and C57BL/6 mice in syngeneic groups. The anti-mouse CD52 mAb was applied as a surrogate antibody. Transmission electron microscopy was used to evaluate the TJ ultrastructure. The expression of the TJ proteins occludin and ZO-1 was analyzed by Western blot. The distribution of TJ proteins was observed by immunofluorescence, and the permeability of the transplanted intestine was assessedin vivousing FITC-dextran.ResultsAfter CD52 mAb application, a compromised TJ ultrastructure was observed. In addition, TJ protein expression (occludin and ZO-1) decreased and the intestinal permeability increased.ConclusionsThe anti-mouse CD52 mAb impaired the transplanted intestinal TJ and barrier.
