CD4+T cell-mediated acute rejection remains a major factor that affects the early survival of transplanted organs post-transplantation. Here, we reveal that nuclear receptor subfamily 4 Group A member 1 (Nr4A1) was upregulated during cardiac allograft rejection and that the increased Nr4A1 was primarily localized in intragraft-infiltrating CD4+T cells. Nr4A1 acts as a transcription factor with an important role in CD4+T cell apoptosis, differentiation and T cell dysfunction, which indicates that Nr4A1 may play a critical role in transplant rejection. Cytosporone B (Csn-B) is a naturally occurring agonist of Nr4A1, and the role of Csn-B in the physiological process of cardiac rejection is poorly defined. This study constructed an acute rejection model of abdominal heterotopic cardiac transplantation in mice and investigated whether Csn-B could attenuate acute transplant rejection by modulating the CD4+T lymphocyte response. The results showed that Csn-B prolonged murine cardiac allograft survival and reduced inflammation in allografts. Subsequently, it was confirmed that Csn-B functions by inducing non-Treg apoptosis and promoting Treg cell differentiation. Finally, we also confirmed that Csn-B attenuates acute rejection by directly targeting Nr4A1 in CD4+T cells. Our data suggest that Csn-B is a promising novel therapeutic approach for acute cardiac allograft rejection.
