目的了解携带供者抗原的第三方树突状细胞(DC)是否具有与供者源未成熟DC相似的免疫功能。方法雌性C57 BL/6小鼠、BALB/c小鼠和昆明小鼠分别为皮肤移植的供者、受者和第三方。将40只BALB/c小鼠分为对照组、环磷酰胺组、供者源未成熟DC组、第三方未成熟DC组、携带供者抗原第三方DC组,每组8只。后4组大鼠皮肤移植术前4d用环磷酰胺(200mg/kg)预处理,对照组同法给予等量等渗盐水。后3组术前2d用1ml相应DC悬液(1×10^7个/m1)预处理,并在术后12d重复给予1mlDC悬液(1×10^7个/m1)1次;前2组于上述2个时相点同法给予等量等渗盐水。记录各组皮片平均成活时间(MST)并于术后5d对皮片进行组织学观察。结果与对照组(16.1±3.5)d比较,供者源未成熟DC组和携带供者抗原第三方DC组小鼠移植皮片的MST明显延长,分别为(38.3±7.7)、(34.9±7.7)d(P〈0.01);携带供者抗原第三方DC组与供者源未成熟DC组皮片的MST相近(P〉0.05),但与第三方未成熟DC组(23.7±2.7)d比较,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。镜下见携带供者抗原第三方DC组移植皮片结构较清楚、排列有序,与供者源未成熟DC组情况相近。结论携带供者抗原的第三方DC与供者源未成熟DC,均可在一定程度上建立抗原特异性免疫耐受。
Objective To investigate whether the third-party dendritic cells(DC) incubated with do- nor's antigens posess the similar immune functions with donor derived immature DC. Methods Female C57 BL/6, BALB/c and Kunming mice were used as skin transplant donors, recipients and third-party, respectively. Forty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into A ( normal control), B ( cyclophosphamide administration) , C ( CTX and donor derived immature DC) , D ( CTX and third-party immature DC) , E ( CTX and third-party DC loaded with donor's antigens) groups, with 8 mice in each group. The mice in group B, C, D and E were given CTX(200mg/Kg) 4 days before operation, while those in group A were given equivalent amount of normal saline(NS). Then in group C ,D and E, DC at a dose of 1 × 10^7/ml were intraperitoneally injected with 2 days before grafting and 12 days after operation, but the mice in group A and B were given NS in the same manner. Mean survival time (MST) of skin grafts was recorded, and biopsies of grafts on 5 and 10 post-operation days (POD) were harvested for histologic examination. Results Compared with groupA[(16.1 ±3.5)d],MSTofskin grafts in group C[(38.3 ±7.7)d] and E[(34.9 ±7.7)d] were significantly prolonged ( P 〈 0.01 ) ,while no obvious difference was observed between group C and E( P 〉 0. 05 ), but there was statistically significant difference in MST between group D [ (23.7 ± 2.7) d ] and E ( P 〈 0. 05). In addition, clear epithelial structure and infiltration of inflammatory cells were observed in specimens from both groups C and E. Conclusion Both donor derived immature DC and third-party DC loaded with donor's antigens can partly induce donor specific transplantation tolerance.
