Administration of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine A (CsA) following autologous stem cell transplantation paradoxically elicits a systemic autoimmune syndrome resembling graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This syndrome, termed autologous GVHD, Is associated with autoreactive CD8(+) T cells that recognize major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II determinants in association with a peptide from the Invariant chain. To Investigate the potential role of cytokines and chemokines In autologous GVHD, Interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-10, interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), and macrophage Inflammatory protein-lot (MIP-alpha.) gene expression In peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was determined In 36 patients treated with CsA following transplantation and correlated with the Induction of cytolytic activity against autologous phytolnemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes (PHA-blasts) and the breast cancer cell line (T47D). The determination of gene expression by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed that IL-10 mRNA levels by PBMCs in patients with autologous GVHD were 29-fold higher than In healthy Individuals. IFN-gamma (4-fold), IL-2 (3-fold), and MIP-1alpha (44-fold) mRNA levels were also Increased In GVHD-induced patients compared with healthy individuals. The ability of PBMCs to lyse autologous PHA-blasts and T47D tumor cells exhibited an Identical temporal relationship with expression of IL-10 and IFN-gamma during autologous GVHD. Moreover, the susceptibility to autologous GVHD as assessed In 75 patients was significantly associated with the IL-10(-1002) G/G polymorphic alleles, allelic variants In the promoter region that govern IL-10 production, These findings Indicate that IL-10 may play an unexpected but critical role In autologous GVHD and could be utilized to enhance a graft-versus-tumor effect after transplantation. Interestingly, polymorphisms In the IL-10 promoter region may also explain differences In the susceptibility of patients to autologous GVHD induction. (C) 2002 by The American Society of Hematology.
