Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) is still one of the barriers of allogenic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation in clinic. It has been proven that transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-?1), tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) and interferon-? (IFN-?) abnormal secretion may be essential factors for aGVHD. OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IFN-?, marker factors of Th1 and Th2, in aGVHD mice model of allogenic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized controlled in vivo transplantation was performed at Department of Animal, Beijing Stomatology Hospital and Department of Hematology, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from August to October 2005. MATERIALS: Twenty clean-grade male C57BL/6(H-2b) mice as donors were selected for harvesting bone marrow cells and spleen lymphocyte; fifty BALB/c(H-2d) female mice as recipients were randomly divided into control group (n=10), bone marrow cell transplantation group (n=20) and combination transplantation group (n=20). METHODS: Bone marrow cell group was injected with 2.0?107 marrow cells through tail vein, and combination transplantation group was injected with bone marrow cells and spleen lymphocyte of C57BL/6(H-2b) mice. Both groups were exposed to 6MV-X radiation (9.0 Gy). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mice survival time; peripheral blood leucocyte count; cytokine levels in peripheral serum by ELASA; histopathological alterations by HE staining. RESULTS: Mice in marrow cell group died since the eighth day, while those in combination group since the fourth day. Kaplan-Meier exhibited P 0.05). Compared with marrow cell group, the levels of IL-4 were significantly decreased (P
