Background.Chronic rejection develops in MHC class I/II-mismatched mouse allografts with arteriosclerosis and intragraft T-cell activation. Blockade with murine CTLA4Ig was used to study the role of CD28-B7 T-cell costimulation in this model of vascular thickening.Methods.CBA/CaJ to C57BL/6J vascularized cardiac transplants were treated with murine CTLA4Ig delivered as a single dose (250 μg ip) on day 2 or chronically (100 μg ip on days 0, 2, and 4 and biweekly). Graft survival, function, and quantitative vessel analysis were compared with those of a reference group treated with anti-CD4 (days 1-4).Results.Day 2 and chronic murine CTLA4Ig treatment prolonged graft survival (mean times and percentage of grafts surviving> 75 days) and preserved graft function (measured by palpation scores). However, histology showed that chronic murine CTLA4Ig grafts had little parenchymal infiltration and less prominent vascular occlusion than day 2 murine CTLA4Ig-treated or 4-day anti-CD4-treated grafts. Quantitative analysis showed that the percentage of diseased vessels and the percentage of luminal occlusion were high in the day 2 murine CTLA4Ig group (78±20% and 41±12%, respectively, n= 5) and the anti-CD4 group (94±9% and 52±17%, respectively, n= 9, P= NS). In contrast, the frequency and severity of vessel thickening were significantly reduced in the chronic murine CTLA4Ig group (57±13% and 24±13%, respectively, n= 10, P< 0.03).Conclusion.In this model with MHC class I and II disparities, day 2 murine CTLA4Ig treatment improved survival and function but did not ameliorate vascular thickening. However, ongoing blockade of CD28-B7 costimulation conferred protection against vascular thickening.
