METHODSOrthotopic SITx was performed in Brown Norway (BN, RT1 n) to Lewis (LEW, RT1 l) rat strain combination using a short course of tacrolimus treatment (1.0 mg/kg/d, days 0 to 13, 20, and 27, IM). Three groups of recipients were studied:(1) controls without immunomodulation,(2) donor ALS pretreatment for 3 days (1.0 mL/d, IP) plus donor BM infusion (2.5× 10 8 cells on day 0), and (3) ex vivo allograft irradiation (10 Gy) plus donor BM infusion. All recipients were followed for 150 days. Levels and lineages of chimerism were studied by flow cytometry. Cytokine mRNA levels were analyzed by RNase protection assay (RPA).RESULTSAll recipients in this study survived for> 150 days. The numbers of donor cells in recipient spleen and blood within 7 days after SITx were significantly greater among Group 1 than immunomodulated Group 2 and 3 recipients (Table 1). The decrease in donor cells among Group 2 hosts was mainly caused by the depletion of αβTCR+ cells, while the number of donor B cells was maintained (data not shown). In contrast, all lineages of donor cells were eliminated in Group 3, resulting in a low level of chimerism. Analysis of lymphocytes in graft mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) showed prompt replacement of donor cells with recipient lymphocytes in immunomodulated Group 2 and 3 compared with Group 1. Immunomodulation with ex vivo graft irradiation resulted in a more rapid replacement of cells than ALS donor pretreatment. The percentage of donor cells in MLN 3 days after SITx was 50.5% in Group 1, whereas it was 20.8% and 2.5% for Group 2 and 3, respectively. mRNA levels for Th1-type cytokines (IL-2 and γ-IFN) were increased in spleen and graft MLN of Group 1 recipients early after SITx (day 1 to 7); however, these cytokines were significantly down-regulated in Group 2 and 3. Histopathological analysis of allografts at day 150 revealed the development of chronic rejection (lymphoid depletion, fibrotic changes of Peyer’s patches and MLN, and existence of arteritis) in Group 1. These changes were completely prevented in immunomodulated Group 2 and 3 allografts.
