Donor CD4+ T-cells are thought to be essential for inducing delayed host tissue injury in chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, the relative contributions of distinct effector CD4+ T-cell subpopulations and the molecular pathways influencing their generation are not known. We investigated the role of the STAT3 pathway in a murine model of chronic sclerodermatous GVHD. This pathway integrates multiple signaling events during the differentiation of naïve CD4+ T-cells and impacts their homeostasis. We report that chimeras receiving an allograft containing STAT3-ablated donor CD4+ T-cells do not develop classical clinical and pathological manifestations of alloimmune tissue injury. Analysis of chimeras showed that abrogation of STAT3 signaling reduced in vivo expansion of donor-derived CD4+ T-cells and their accumulation in GVHD target tissues without abolishing anti-host alloreactivity. STAT3 ablation did not significantly affect Th1 differentiation while enhancing CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T-cell reconstitution through both thymus-dependent and -independent pathways. Transient depletion of CD25+ T-cells in chimeras receiving STAT3-deficient T-cells resulted in delayed development of alloimmune gut and liver injury. This delayed de novo GVHD was associated with the emergence of donor hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-derived Th1 and Th17 cells. These results suggest that STAT3 signaling in graft CD4+ T-cells links the alloimmune tissue injury of donor graft T-cells and the emergence of donor HSC-derived pathogenic effector cells and that both populations contribute, albeit in different ways, to the genesis of chronic GVHD after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in a murine model.
