Long-term success in lung transplantation is limited by obliterative bronchiolits (OB), while the mechanism for this disease is not well-understood. Chemokine SDF-1 and its receptor CXCR4 have been reported to be involved in several fibrogenic processes by recruiting inflammatory and fibroblast progenitor cells into injured tissues. We hypothesized that SDF-1/CXCR4 axis also plays a role in the pathogenesis of OB. Using the mouse heterotopic allogeneic airway transplant model, we transplanted mouse tracheas from Balb/C donors into C57BL/6 recipients. At day 10 after transplant, we found high expression of SDF-1 in cells in sub-epithelial layers of the allograft. Approximately 26% of cells infiltrating the allograft were CD45+CXCR4+ as was determined by flow cytometry analysis. Treatment of the recipients with a CXCR4 antagonist, TN 14003, decreased cell infiltration into the grafts at day 10 post implantation. At day 42 a significant reduction of the luminal occlusion was found in the TN14003 treated animals compared to controls (57.40% versus 98.21%, p<0.01). To demonstrate the relevance of SDF-1/CXCR4 axis in OB, sections of lung tissue obtained from lung transplanted patients with OB, were examined for SDF-1 and CXCR4 expression. We found higher number of CXCR4 and SDF-1 positive cells in samples from patients with OB compared with normal lungs. These findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of lung chronic rejection and may lead to new intervention tools for the treatment of OB.
