Abstract:
Objective To analyze the immune privilege of lung in acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD).Methods The models of aGVHD were established,and C57BL/6J→C57BL/6J model was used as control.The clinical scores and survival were observe& The pathological injuries were compared between the lung and traditional target organs (liver,small intestines and skin).The expression of IFN-γ in different organs after transplantation was detected by ELISA.Results Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) mice had high 42-day survival rate (20 ％) post-transplantation,and recipients of allogeneic grafts showed classical symptoms and histological injury,and pathological changes of lung were not as serious as the liver,small intestine,skin at day 28 after transplantation.Syngeneic mice all survived at day 42 after transplantation,without GVHD symptoms and pathological changes.The mice in MHC-disparate mice (2 ∶ 1 and 4 ∶ 1 groups) died significantly faster at a median of 12 days after transplantation,with severe changes of clinical symptoms and pathology of classical organs,and MHC-disparate mice (4∶1 groups) had developed severe interstitial pneumonitis.The mean IFN-γ concentration in the lung of allogeneic HSCT mice was obviously increased in the first and second week after transplantation,the IFN-γ concentrations of target organs (liver,small intestines,skin) were slightly increased in the first and second week after transplantation,and there were statistically significant difference from lung (P＜0.05).Condmion There wasrelativeimmune privilege of lung in a murine model of aGVHD induced by HSCT,which was associated with the expression of MHCin the mice and IFN-gamma of lungs after transplantation.
