The immune responses of a host to a graft. A specific response is GRAFT REJECTION.

Rapid clearance of syngeneic transplanted hepatocytes following transduction with E-1-deleted adenovirus indicates early host immune responses and offers novel ways for studying viral vector, target cell and host interactions. (1/58)

To distinguish between transduced cell clearance and transgene regulation following adenoviral gene transfer, we infected F344 rat hepatocytes with an E-1-deleted adenovirus (Ad beta gal) and studied cell survival in the liver of dipeptidyl peptidase IV-deficient (DPPIV-) F344 rats. Transplanted cells were localized with histochemical staining for DPPIV and transgene expression localized with staining for beta-galactosidase (lacZ). The transgene was expressed in 90-100% hepatocytes without impairment in cell viability in vitro, although transplanted cells were cleared mostly within 1 day by infiltrates containing activated macrophages, CD4+ or CD8+ lymphocytes, and phagocytes. When Ad beta gal-transduced hepatocytes were transplanted repeatedly at 14-day intervals, transplanted cells were cleared rapidly each time. LacZ expression following Ad beta gal administration to intact animals was associated with apoptosis and unscheduled DNA synthesis in the liver. To determine whether adenoviral antigen expression activated consequential MHC-restricted liver injury, we transplanted Ad beta gal-hepatocytes followed subsequently by transplantation of nontransduced hepatocytes. Transplanted cells expressing Ad beta gal were rapidly cleared as before, whereas nontransduced hepatocytes engrafted with progressive liver repopulation. The findings indicated that adenovirally transduced cells are cleared early in the host liver. Use of ex vivo strategies will facilitate analysis of modified adenoviral vectors in the context of immunoregulatory, cellular and viral mechanisms.  (+info)

Lethal host-versus-graft disease and hypereosinophilia in the absence of MHC I-T-cell interactions. (2/58)

Neonatal injection of semiallogeneic spleen cells in BALB/c mice induces a self-limited state of chimerism that promotes the differentiation of donor-specific CD4 T cells toward the Th2 phenotype. Here we show that injection of spleen cells from beta2-microglobulin-deficient (BALB/c x C57BL/6) F1 mice into BALB/c newborns with a disrupted beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) gene results in a lethal lymphoproliferative disorder associated with uncontrolled Th2 response, long-term persistence of donor B cells, and sustained blood eosinophilia. Autoimmune manifestations are also enhanced and characterized by a severe autoantibody-mediated glomerulonephritis. Histological examination of the spleen shows a hyperplasia of periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths, with accumulation of eosinophils and basophils, and variable degree of fibrosis. Perivascular lymphoid infiltrates with eosinophils are also found in the lung and are correlated with disease severity. Such abnormalities are almost absent using beta2m-sufficient mice. These data demonstrate that induction of lymphoid chimerism in the absence of MHC class I-T-cell interactions results in a lethal form of host-versus-graft disease that represents a unique model of Th2-dependent chronic inflammatory disease associated with an hypereosinophilic syndrome in mice.  (+info)

Allogeneic reconstitution after nonmyeloablative conditioning: mitigation of graft-versus-host and host-versus-graft reactivity by anti-CD44v6. (3/58)

T-cell maturation is accelerated in transgenic mice expressing rat CD44v4-v7 on T cells, the effect being blocked by anti-CD44v6. This finding suggested functional activity of CD44v6 in thymocyte development. We tested the hypothesis by antibody blocking and using mice with targeted deletion of CD44v6/v7 exon products (CD44v6/v7(-/-)). When lethally irradiated CD44v6/v7-competent (CD44v6/v7(+/+)) mice were reconstituted syngeneically, higher numbers of CD44v6/v7(-/-) than CD44v6/v7(+/+) BMC were required for survival, the period of reconstitution was prolonged, and regain of immunocompetence was delayed. Similar findings were observed in lethally irradiated, anti-CD44v6-treated syngeneic CD44v6/v7(+/+) hosts. Thus, CD44v6/v7 supports maturation and expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Surprisingly, reconstitution with CD44v6/v7(-/-) BMC or anti-CD44v6 treatment of the nonlethally irradiated allogeneic CD44v6/v7(+/+) host had only a minor impact on survival rates. When nonlethally irradiated CD44v6/v7(-/-) hosts received an allogeneic graft, survival rates were improved. These phenomena have been a result of reduced GvH reactivities when the donor was CD44v6/v7(-/-) and reduced HvG reactivities in the CD44v6/v7(-/-) host. Thus, although a deficit or blockade of CD44v6/v7 has a negative impact on hematopoietic reconstitution, a transient blockade will be of benefit for the allogeneically reconstituted host because of a strong reduction in GvH and HvG reactivities.  (+info)

Future of monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. (4/58)

BACKGROUND: The approval of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) as antibody-targeted therapy in the management of patients with hematologic malignancies has led to new treatment options for this group of patients. The ability to target antibodies to novel functional receptors can increase their therapeutic efficacy. METHODS: The authors reviewed improvements in MAb design to enhance their effectiveness over the existing therapeutic MAb currently approved for treating hematologic malignancies. RESULTS: Three classes of therapeutic MAbs showing promise in human clinical trials for treatment of hematologic malignancies include unconjugated MAb, drug conjugates in which the antibody preferentially delivers a potent cytotoxic drug to the tumor, and radioactive immunotherapy in which the antibody delivers a sterilizing dose of radiation to the tumor. CONCLUSIONS: A better appreciation of how MAbs are metabolized in the body and localized to tumors is resulting in the development of new antibody constructs with improved biodistribution profiles.  (+info)

Donor T cell and host NK depletion improve the therapeutic efficacy of allogeneic bone marrow cell reconstitution in the nonmyeloablatively conditioned tumor-bearing host. (5/58)

Allogeneic bone marrow cell reconstitution of the nonmyeloablatively conditioned host has the advantage that it can be tolerated in suboptimal health conditions. However, the problem of graft versus host disease (GvHD) remains. Also, graft acceptance may become delicate, and HvGD may arise. We report here on advantages/disadvantages of host natural killer (NK) depletion and graft T cell depletion in fully allogeneic, healthy and solid tumor-bearing mice. NK depletion of the "healthy" host improved the survival rate, whereas graft T cell depletion was disadvantageous. In the tumor-bearing host, graft T cell depletion was beneficial when the host was NK-depleted. Host NK depletion facilitated B lymphopoiesis, repopulation of the thymus, expansion of donor cells, and tolerance induction. The disadvantage of graft T cell depletion in the "healthy" host was a result of delayed engraftment. Because in tumor-bearing mice, host but not graft hematopoiesis was strongly impaired, donor hematopoiesis dominated. Graft T cell depletion reduced GvHD but hardly interfered with engraftment. Importantly, graft-mediated tumor reactivity appeared late and was unimpaired when the graft was T cell-depleted. Thus, concomitant depletion of host NK and donor T cells is advantageous when approaching therapeutic treatment of solid tumors by allogeneic reconstitution of the nonmyeloablatively conditioned host.  (+info)

Pathogenic T cells in murine lupus exhibit spontaneous signaling activity through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. (6/58)

OBJECTIVE: To determine the activation status of two cytoplasmic signaling pathways, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family. METHODS: We studied the pathogenic CD4+ T cells that drive disease in the parent-into-F(1) mouse model of lupus-like chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We determined immunoprecipitated kinase activity for PI 3-kinase and MAPK members (Raf-1, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 [ERK-1], c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 [JNK-1], and p38 MAPK) from either unfractionated splenocytes or purified donor CD4+ T cells. Uninjected normal mice served as negative controls, and acute GVHD mice served as positive controls. RESULTS: Compared with negative controls, unfractionated splenocyte kinase activity from chronic GVHD mice was significantly increased for PI 3-kinase and JNK-1, but not for Raf-1, p38 MAPK, or ERK-1. Increased PI 3-kinase and JNK-1 activity was also seen in acute GVHD splenocytes, as was increased Raf-1 and p38 MAPK activity. The pattern of increased PI 3-kinase and JNK-1 activity seen in unfractionated chronic GVHD splenocytes was also seen in isolated donor, but not host, CD4+ T cells from chronic GVHD mice, indicating that donor CD4+ T cell signaling activity accounted for at least a portion of the activity observed in unfractionated splenocytes. Increased ERK-1 activity was not seen in either donor or host CD4+ T cells. This pattern of cytoplasmic signaling pathway in donor CD4+ T cells was associated with increased T cell receptor membrane signaling activation (Lck and Fyn phosphorylation) and increased transcription activation (phosphorylation of inhibitor of nuclear factor kappaB), confirming the biologic significance of these observations. CONCLUSION: The pathogenic T cells driving disease in this murine model exhibit activation in the form of spontaneous cytoplasmic signaling pathway activity that can be detected without in vitro restimulation and involves a T cell-specific (PI 3-kinase) and a nonspecific stress/cytokine pathway (JNK-1). These results raise the possibility that a full characterization of the signaling pathways active in pathogenic lupus T cells might lead to new therapeutic targets.  (+info)

Antitumor effect of donor marrow graft rejection induced by recipient leukocyte infusions in mixed chimeras prepared with nonmyeloablative conditioning: critical role for recipient-derived IFN-gamma. (7/58)

Some patients lose chimerism following nonmyeloablative hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), yet, surprisingly, enjoy sustained tumor remissions. We hypothesized that host-versus-graft (HVG) alloresponses might induce antitumor effects against recipient tumors. We explored this question in mice by administering recipient leukocyte infusions (RLIs) to mixed chimeras established with nonmyeloablative conditioning. Mixed chimeras were prepared in the B10.A (H2a)-->B6 (H2b) strain combination using depleting anti-T-cell monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), cyclophosphamide, and thymic irradiation. B6 myeloid leukemia cells (MMB3.19) were administered 7 days following donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) or RLI on day 35. Conversion to full donor chimerism occurred without graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following DLI, whereas RLI led to loss of chimerism. Both RLI and DLI significantly delayed tumor mortality. In another strain combination (B10.BR [H2k]-->BALB/c [H2d]), RLI-induced or spontaneous loss of chimerism was associated with antitumor effects against the host-type B-cell lymphoma A20. HCT was essential for the antitumor effect of RLI. RLI induced elevated serum interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) levels, and recipient-derived IFN-gamma was critical for their antitumor effects. Thus, HVG reactions (spontaneous or induced by RLI) mediate antitumor effects against hematologic malignancies via a recipient-derived IFN-gamma-mediated mechanism. A novel approach to achieving anti-tumor effects without the risk of GVHD is suggested.  (+info)

Nitric oxide production in host-versus-graft and graft-versus-host reactions in the rat. (8/58)

The present study was designed to determine whether .N = O produced in vivo during the rejection of histoincompatible tissues might permit serum NO2-/NO3- levels to serve as markers of a rejection reaction. Rat syngeneic and allogeneic liver, heart, bone marrow/spleen cell, small bowel, skin, and sponge matrix grafts were performed and the stable end-products of .N = O, NO2-/NO3-, were serially assayed in the serum of the grafted animals. A significant rise of serum NO2-/NO3- levels in the allografted animals preceded the onset of clinical signs of rejection or graft-versus-host disease, with the exception of the skin and sponge matrix graft models, where elevated serum NO2-/NO3- levels were never observed. In all transplant models, normal serum NO2-/NO3- levels were observed at all times in animals that received syngeneic grafts. Furthermore, treatment of allograft recipients with the immunosuppressive agents FK 506 or cyclosporine A inhibited .N = O production. Determination of serum creatinine levels demonstrated that the elevated serum NO2-/NO3- levels were not caused by kidney dysfunction. Serum NO2-/NO3- levels might be useful early serum markers of the initiation of a rejection reaction or graft-versus-host disease when functional markers of graft dysfunction are not apparent.  (+info)

A Host vs Graft Reaction, also known as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), is a condition that can occur after a transplant of immunocompetent tissue (like bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells) from a donor (graft) to a recipient (host). It occurs when the transplanted immune cells recognize the recipient's tissues as foreign and mount an immune response against them. This reaction can cause inflammation and damage to various organs, including the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

GVHD can be acute or chronic, depending on the time of onset and the severity of symptoms. Acute GVHD typically occurs within 100 days of transplantation and is characterized by a rash, diarrhea, and liver dysfunction. Chronic GVHD, which can occur after day 100, is often more severe and can affect multiple organs, leading to fibrosis and organ dysfunction.

Preventing and managing GVHD is an important consideration in transplant medicine, as it can significantly impact the success of the transplant and the recipient's quality of life. Strategies for preventing and treating GVHD include immunosuppressive therapy, T-cell depletion of the graft, and careful matching of donor and recipient to minimize histocompatibility differences.
