  • A distinct Th1 immune response precedes the described Th2 response in Islet xenograft rejection

    • Previous studies using semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) have demonstrated that islet xenograft rejection in mice is dominated by Th2-associated cytokines, i.e., interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10. However, immunohistochemical stainings show that the morphological pattern in this model is more reminiscent of a delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction, which is associated with a Th1 response. This study was designed to resolve the mechanisms of acute cellular xenograft rejection in rats transplanted with fetal porcine islet-like cell clusters (ICCs). Real-time quantitative RT-PCR was used to quantify the mRNA expression of cytokines in the grafts and lymph nodes, and the findings were related to the immunopathology of the rejecting grafts. By day 1, mRNA expression levels of IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-12p40, interferon-gamma, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were already induced in the lymph nodes. From days 3 to 12, an increasing amount of activated macrophages was seen in the grafts, whereas T- and NK-cells were fewer and mainly accumulated in the periphery of the grafts. Most of the ICCs were rejected by day 5. Transcripts of Th1-associated cytokines were dominant in both regional lymph nodes and in the grafts, with peak levels on days 3 and 5, respectively. The mRNA expression of IL-4 was increased on day 12, and it correlated with the infiltration of eosinophils and an increased level of xenoreactive IgG. The data presented indicate that an islet xenograft triggers a sequential activation of 1) a Th1-associated response characterized by graft destruction in a DTH-like reaction and then 2) a subsequent Th2-associated response characterized by increased levels of xenoreactive antibodies.

  • A new murine model of islet xenograft rejection : Graft destruction is dependent on a major histocompatibility-specific interaction between T-cells and macrophages
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Diabetes. - : American Diabetes Association. - 0012-1797 .- 1939-327X. ; 52:5, s. 1111-1118

    • A new murine model of porcine islet-like cell cluster (ICC) xenograft rejection, avoiding interference of unspecific inflammation, was introduced and used to investigate rejection mechanisms. Athymic (nu/nu) mice were transplanted with syngeneic, allogeneic, or xenogeneic islets under the kidney capsule. After the original transplantation, immune cells in porcine ICC xenografts undergoing rejection in native immunocompetent mice were transferred to the peritoneal cavity of the athymic mice. At defined time points after transfer, the primary grafts were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and real-time quantitative RT-PCR to estimate cytokine and chemokine mRNA expression. Transfer of immunocompetent cells enabled athymic (nu/nu) mice to reject a previously tolerated ICC xenograft only when donor and recipient were matched for major histocompatibility complex (MHC). In contrast, allogeneic and syngeneic islets were not rejected. The ICC xenograft rejection was mediated by transferred T-cells. The main effector cells, macrophages, were shown to be part of a specific immune response. By day 4 after transplantation, there was an upreglation of both Th1- and Th2-associated cytokine transcripts. The transferred T-cells were xenospecific and required MHC compatibility to induce rejection. Interaction between the TCR of transferred T-cells and MHC on host endothelial cells and/or macrophages seems necessary for inducing ICC xenograft rejection.

  • Inhibition of Thrombin Abrogates the Instant Blood-Mediated Inflammatory Reaction Triggered by Isolated Human Islets : Possible application of the thrombin inhibitor melagatran in clinical islet transplantation
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: Diabetes. - : American Diabetes Association. - 0012-1797 .- 1939-327X. ; 51:6, s. 1779-1784

    • A thrombotic/inflammatory reaction is elicited when isolated islets of Langerhans come in contact with ABO-compatible blood. The detrimental effects of this instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction (IBMIR) provide a reasonable explanation for the observation that an unexpectedly high number of islets, from several donors, are needed to produce normoglycemia in transplant patients with type 1 diabetes. In this study, the hypothesis that a specific thrombin inhibitor, Melagatran, could reduce IBMIR in an in vitro model in which human islets are exposed to ABO-compatible blood was tested. The administration of Melagatran abrogated IBMIR dose-dependently. Islets exposed to blood, in the absence or presence of 0.4 μmol/l Melagatran, exhibited a loss of integrity and were found to be trapped in macroscopic clots containing platelets and CD11b+ leukocytes. At concentrations from 1 to 10 μmol/l, Melagatran inhibited both coagulation and complement activation. Also, platelet and leukocyte activation and consumption were decreased. Islet morphology was maintained with almost no platelets adhering to the surface, and infiltration by CD11b+ leukocytes was considerably reduced. In conclusion, Melagatran significantly reduced IBMIR in this model system. This protective effect indicates that thrombin plays a pivotal role in IBMIR and suggests that thrombin inhibition can improve the outcome of clinical islet transplantation.
