Background. Chemokines are well-established to function in, the recruitment of leukocytes into allografts in the course of rejection. Moreover, some studies have indicated that there are organ-specific differences in chemokine function, but the mechanism accounting for this difference is not known.Methods. Fully major histocompatibility complex-mismatched vascularized cardiac transplants or skin transplants were performed using BALB/c (H-2(d)), C5713L/6 (H-2(b)), MCP-1(-/-) (H-2(b)) and CXCR3(-/-) (H-2(b)) mice as donors or recipients. Also, skin grafts (H-2(b)) were placed onto SCID mice (H-2(d)) that received BALB/c splenocytes (H-2(d)) by adoptive transfer either at the time of transplantation, or after a period of 28 days.Results. Cardiac allografts in MCP-1(-/-) recipients survived significantly longer (P < 0.0005) than wild-type (WT) controls. However, there was no prolongation of survival when MCP-1(-/-) grafts were used a donors in WT mice. In contrast, the absence of donor but not recipient MCP- I prolonged skin allograft survival. WT donor cardiac grafts in CXCR3(-/-) recipients had a modest prolongation of survival (P < 0.0005), whereas CXCR3(-/-) donor cardiac grafts in WT recipients were rejected similar to controls. Also, while recipient CXCR3 had no effect on the rejection of skin, CXCR3(-/-) donor skin grafts survived significantly longer than WT controls. This survival advantage was lost when vascularized CXCR3(-/-) skin grafts were used as donors in the SCID model of rejection.Conclusion. Recipient derived MCP-1 and CXCR3 are functional in the rejection of vascularized, but not nonvascularized, allografts. In contrast, donor-derived MCP-1 and CXCR3 are functional in nonvascularized, but not vascularized grafts.
