CXCL10 (IP-10) is a potent chemoattractant for T cells that has been postulated to play arole in infection and acute cellular rejection (ACR) in animal models. We measured CXCL10 (IP-10) (and other cytokines previously implicated in the pathogenesis of ACR) in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of lung transplant recipients (LTRs) to determine the association between CXCL10 (IP-10) and ACR in LTRs. In a prospective study of 85 LTRs, expression of cytokines (TNF, IFNγ, IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, IL-16, IL-17, CXCL10 (IP-10) and MCP-1 (CCL2)) in BAL samples (n=233) from patients with episodes of ACR (n=44), infection (Infect) (n=25), concomitant ‘Infect +ACR’ (n=10), and ‘No Infect & No ACR’ (n=154) were analyzed. The levels of both CXCL10 (IP-10) and IL-16 were significantly increased in histologically proven ACR, as compared to the ‘No Infect & No ACR’ group (CXCL10 [IP-10]: 107.0 vs. 31.9 pg/mL [p=0.001]; IL-16: 472.1 vs. 283.01 [p=0.01]).However, in a linear mixed effects model, significant association was found only between CXCL10 (IP-10)] and ACR. A 1-log increase of CXCL10 (IP-10) was associated with a 40% higher risk of ACR (OR 1.4; 95% CI 1.12-1.84). Higher values of CXCL10 (IP-10) in BAL fluid are associated with ACR in LTRs suggesting a potential mechanistic role in the pathogenesis of ACR in LTRs. These results suggest that therapeutic strategies to inhibit CXCL10 (IP-10) and or its cognate receptor, CXCR3, warrant investigation to prevent and/or treat ACR in clinical lung transplantation.
