Exhaustive Depletion of Graft Resident Dendritic Cells: Marginally Delayed Rejection but Strong Alteration of Graft Infiltration

Abstract: Taken collectively, these data suggest that DDC depletion has a greater effect on the capacity of tolerance induction than the rejection process.

“…1W hearts depleted of resident DC are acutely rejected following the same tempo, indicating that the indirect pathway can rapidly develop in unmodified LEW. 1A hearts (29,30). The dominant peptides concerned the donor class II RT1.D u molecule sequence, in agreement with data obtained in different strain combinations (31)(32)(33).…”

“…To assess the cellular response in DST-treated recipients, we first needed to precisely characterize the dominant donor MHC peptides eliciting a T-cell response during acute rejection in unmodified LEW.1A recipients of MHC incompatible LEW.1W hearts. We measured the cellular response using the ELISPOT assay that enables (IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG2c) Hematoxylin-eosin-saffron staining of heart allografts from 14,30,60 and 100) quantification of the frequency of T cells already committed to antigen. IFNc was chosen since it has been shown to offer the best correlation to rejection in various studies (20)(21)(22).…”

“…Moreover, the interaction of host CD4 ϩ cells with donor MHC class II molecules has been reported as critical for the rejection of murine cardiac allografts (15). However, in the same strain combination, removing DC from donor hearts (by irradiation or cyclophosphamide treatment) prolonged survival to a limited extent only (16). Thus, one can hypothesize that anti-donor MHC class II Abs could act in an active manner by inducing a regulatory signal after interaction with DC resident within the heart.…”

“…Practically speaking, our data demonstrate that patients with severe IR changes and low BDCA-1 þ cell density in postreperfusion biopsies are at increased risk of rejection and suggest that these patients may benefit from close clinical monitoring and/or modified immunosuppressive management. Finally, although our findings need to be confirmed in independent cohorts, our data provide a rationale to further investigate pretransplant-targeted therapies aimed at attenuating IRI 45 and/or eliminate donor DCs, 46 perhaps by donor pretreatment, to decrease early rejection episodes and thereby improve long-term allograft survival. Despite the unusually long CIT in our cohort, which may not be applicable to all transplant centers, taking appropriate measures in patients with severe IR changes and low DC density in their postreperfusion biopsies may help prevent overt or subclinical and/or smoldering rejection.…”
