Coincidence of the beneficial graft-vs.tumor (GVT) effects and the detrimental graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) remains the major obstacle against the widespread use of allogeneic hone marrow transplantation (BMT) as tumor immunotherapy. We here demonstrate that intervention of MAdCAM-1 (mucosal vascular addressin cell adhesion molecule-1) or fractalkine/CX(3)CL1 after the expansion of allo-reactive donor CD8 T cells selectively inhibits the recruitment of effector donor CD8 T cells to the intestine and alleviates the graft vs.-host reaction (GVHR) associated intestinal injury without impairing GVT effects. In a nonirradiated acute GVHD model, donor CD8 T cells up-regulate the expression of intestinal homing receptor alpha 4 beta 7 and chemokine receptors CXCR6 and CX(3)CR1, as they differentiate into effector cells and subsequently infiltrate into the intestine. Administration of anti-MAdCAM-1 antibody or anti-fractalkine antibody, even after the expansion of alloreactive donor CD8 T cells, selectively reduced the intestine-infiltrating donor CD8 T cells and the intestinal crypt cell apoptosis without affecting the induction of donor derived anti-host CTL or the infiltration of donor CD8 T cells in the hepatic tumor. Moreover, in a clinically relevant GVHD model with myeloablative conditioning, these antibodies significantly improved the survival and loss of weight without impairing the beneficial GVT effects. Thus, interruption of alpha 4 beta 7-MAd-CAM-1 or CX(3)CR1-fractalkine interactions in the late phase of GVHD would be a novel therapeutic approach for the separation of GVT effects from GVHR-associated intestinal injury.
