项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is well established that various organ allografts differ in their immunogenicity and susceptibility to immunosuppression-mediated acceptance. Lungs are among the most immunogenic organs with particularly high rates of graft rejection leading to poor long-term outcomes. Immunologic requirements for lung allograft rejection and acceptance remain poorly understood. Our laboratory has made the surprising observation that, in stark contrast to other organs, the presence of CD8+ (specifically CD8+PD-1+) rather than CD4+ T cells, is critical for co-stimulatory blockade-mediated acceptance of lung allografts. The overall goal of this application is to perform mechanistic studies in the mouse vascularized orthotopic lung transplantation model to investigate the role of CD8+ T cells in down-regulating alloimmune responses deleterious to graft survival. In the first aim we will define mechanisms of regulatory CD8+ T cell generation. In the second aim we will investigate the role of antigen presenting cells in CD8+ T cell-mediated lung allograft acceptance. In the third aim we will characterize how clinically relevant innate immune stimulation through Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) prevents CD8+ T cell-mediated lung allograft acceptance.

描述（由申请人提供）：众所周知，各种器官同种异体移植物的免疫原性和对免疫抑制介导的接受度的敏感性有所不同。肺是最免疫原性器官之一，移植物排斥的速度特别高，导致长期结局不良。对肺同种异体移植排斥和接受的免疫学要求仍然很少了解。我们的实验室令人惊讶地观察到，与其他器官形成鲜明对比的是，CD8+（特别是CD8+ PD-1+）而不是CD4+ T细胞的存在对于共刺激性阻断介导的肺同种异体移植物的接受至关重要。该应用的总体目的是在小鼠血管矫形肺移植模型中进行机械研究，以研究CD8+ T细胞在下调同种异体免疫反应中的作用，这对接枝存活有害。在第一个目标中，我们将定义调节性CD8+ T细胞产生的机制。在第二个目标中，我们将研究抗原呈递细胞在CD8+ T细胞介导的肺同种异体移植接受中的作用。在第三个目的中，我们将表征通过Toll样受体2（TLR2）与CD8+ T细胞介导的肺同种异体移植的接受度相关的临床相关先天免疫刺激。
