Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Many previous experiments have confirmed that transforming growth factor?1(TGF-?1) plasmids can inhibit or decrease the injection in nerve transplantation,but there has rare report about their effects on vein transplantation.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the action pathway of immune tolerance of allogenic femoral vein transplantation in rats induced by local injection of TGF-?1.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A randomized block animal observational experiment was performed at Animal Experimental Center of Harbin Medical University from March 2007 to April 2008.MATERIALS:A total of 18 Wistar rats were selected to assign as donors.A total of 48 Sprague Dawley rats were selected to assign as recipients and randomly divided into four groups with 12 rats in each group:autograft,allograft,immunosuppressant,and TGF-?1 groups.METHODS:The rats in the immunosuppressant group were administated(i.p.) cyclosporin A(10 mg/kg) one time per day from three days before transplantation till they were sacrificed.Each rat in the TGF-?1 group was injected 40 ?g TGF-?1 plasmids into two ends of femoral vein.Vein transplantation was performed in the autograft and allograft groups.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Imaging,histology and immunological assays of these groups were conducted at two weeks after transplantation.RESULTS:In the autograft group,the endothelial cells of vein were flat,and nuclear membrane thickened.In the allograft group,the exfoliated endothelial cells and fragments,as well as subendothelium were observed.In the immunosuppressant group,the nuclear membrane of endothelial cells thickened,and rough endoplasmic reticulum expanded widely.In the TGF-?1 group,the expand of rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial vacuolation were observed.Tight junction could be seen between adjacent cells.Histologic and immunologic parameters in the TGF-?1 group were better than those in the immunosuppressant and allograft groups.The absorbance value of lymphocyte culture in the autograft,allograft,immunosuppressant,and TGF-?1 groups were 1.07?0.14,4.15?0.67,1.77?0.23 and 1.38?0.23,respectively.The absorbance value of lymphocyte culture in the TGF-?1 group was significantly lower than that in the immunosuppressant and allograft groups(P
