目的探讨吲哚胺2,3-双加氧酶(IDO)抑制小鼠异位心脏移植排斥反应的作用机制。方法通过携带IDO基因的腺病毒转染供体树突细胞(DC)而获得IDO+DC,建立小鼠同种异位心脏移植模型,C57BL/6小鼠为供体,Balb/C小鼠为受体。分为空白对照组、DC注射组、色氨酸代谢产物(TC)注射组、IDO+DC注射组和联合注射组(联合注射Tc及IDO+DC),每组含供体、受体各12只;术前给予受体不同干预。观察移植心存活时间,术后7d获取移植心行组织病理学检查、real—timePCR检测IDOmRNA表达水平、Westernblot检测IDO蛋白表达水平,获取受体外周血行流式细胞学检测CD3+T细胞凋亡率。采用单因素方差分析和Kaplan—Meier生存分析对IDO表达水平、CD3+T细胞凋亡率及移植心存活时间进行统计学分析。结果空白对照组、DC注射组、TC注射组、IDO+DC注射组及联合注射组移植心中位存活时间分别为7.0、7.5、11.0、17.5和24.0d。与空白对照组和DC注射组分别比较,TC注射组、IDO+DC注射组及联合注射组移植心存活时间均延长(t=3.523~8.449,P〈0.01),移植心IDOmRNA和IDO蛋白表达水平均增高(t=5.974~16.176,P〈0.01),受体外周血CD3+T细胞凋亡率均升高(t=6.324~38.120,P〈0.01)。与TC注射组和IDO+DC注射组分别比较,联合注射组移植心中位存活时间延长(t=5.971和2.831,P〈0.05),移植心IDOmRNA和IDO蛋白表达水平增高(t=2.853~15.194,P〈0.01),受体外周血CD3+T细胞凋亡率升高(t=26.069和7.643,P〈0.01)。结论术前向受体注射IDO+供体DC及Tc均可抑制小鼠心脏移植排斥反应,而联合应用后的抑制作用更强,表明IDO通过“色氨酸饥饿”和“色氨酸代谢产物累积”两条途径同时发挥抗排斥作用。
Objective To study the suppressive effect of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase on transplantation rejection in mice heterotopic cardiac transplantation. Methods Adenovirus vector containing IDO gene was used to infect donor (C57BL/6) DC to obtain IDO+ DC. Mouse heterotopic cardiac transplantation models were established (C57BL/6-BALB/c) and the following groups were set up, including the control group, DC injection group, TC injection group, IDO+ DC injection group and co-injection group of IDO + DC and TC, 12 donors and 12 recipients in each group. Survival time of the donor heart in every group was observed. Meanwhile, donor hearts were harvested 7 days post transplantation for different examinations, including pathological examination, mRNA expression of IDO through real-time PCR, IDO protein expression through Western blot. Peripheral blood of recipients was also harvested for CD3 + T lymphocyte apoptosis rate examination through fluorescence-activated cell sorting. One-way ANOVA and Kaplan-Meier Survival Analysis were used for statistic analysis of IDO expression, CD3 + T lymphocyte apoptosis rate and survival time of the donor heart respectively. Results Cadiac allograft median survival time of each group were 7.0, 7.5, 11.0, 17.5, 24. 0 days respectively. Compared with control and DC injection group, IDO + DC, TC and co-injection group significantly prolonged the survival time of donor hearts(t = 3. 523-8.449, P 〈 0. 01 ). Both IDO mRNA and protein expression showed significant increase (t =5. 974-16. 176 ,P 〈0. 01 ). The CD3 +T lymphocyte apoptosis rate was also significantly increased (t = 6. 324-38. 120,P 〈 0.01 ). Compared with IDO+ DC or TC group alone, co-injection group significantly prolonged the survival time of the donor heart ( t = 5.971 and 2. 831, P 〈 0. 05 ). Both IDO mRNA and protein expression showed significant increase ( t = 2. 853-15. 194, P 〈 0. 01 ). Furthermore, the CD3 + T lymphocyte apoptosis rate was significantly increased as well
