抗移植物抗体通常与移植物排斥有关。在特殊条件下,即使存在抗移植物抗体和补体,移植物也能继续正常发挥功能。这种情况被称为住宿。我们开发了一种异种移植调节模型,将刘易斯幼鼠心脏移植到Rag/GT缺陷小鼠体内,通过反复静脉注射低剂量抗α-Gal IgG诱导调节(1)。接受抗α-Gal IgG大剂量注射的移植物存活下来(1),而新鲜移植的第二个移植物被排斥。为了研究抗α-Gal IgG(1)介导的调节机制,实时PCR和免疫组织化学染色均显示调节移植物中的CD 59、Crry和CD 59表达升高。大鼠内皮细胞在体外暴露于抗α-Gal IgG(1)也诱导了CD 14、Crry和CD 59的上调,如Western印迹分析所示,并与体外获得性抗体和补体介导的溶解相关。总的来说,这些研究表明,补体调节蛋白的上调可能会消除补体介导的排斥反应,并允许异种移植物的发展。
Anti-graft antibodies are often associated with graft rejection. Under special conditions, grafts continue to function normally even in the presence of anti-graft antibodies and complement. This condition is termed accommodation. We developed a xenograft accommodation model in which baby Lewis rat hearts are transplanted into Rag/GT-deficient mice, and accommodation is induced by repeated i.v. injections of low-dose anti-alpha-Gal IgG(1). The accommodated grafts survived a bolus dose of anti-alpha-Gal IgG(1), while freshly transplanted second grafts were rejected. To study the mechanism of anti-alpha-Gal IgG(1)-mediated accommodation, both real-time PCR and immunohistochemical staining revealed elevated expression of DAF, Crry and CD59 in the accommodated grafts. In vitro exposure of rat endothelial cells to anti-alpha-Gal IgG(1) also induced the up-regulation of DAF, Crry and CD59, as revealed by Western blot analyses, and was associated with an acquired resistance to antibody and complement-mediated lysis in vitro. Collectively, these studies suggest that the up-regulation of complement regulatory proteins may abrogate complement-mediated rejection and permit the development of xenograft accommodation.
