Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of IL 11 on graft versus host disease and graft versus leukemia after allogenic bone marrow transplantation and related mechanism in acute lymphoblastic leukemic (ALL) mice. Methods Twenty nude mice and 20 BABL/c mice were randomly divided into 2 groups separately, total 4 groups. Group A and C, nude mice and BABL/c mice control group respectively; Group B and D, nude mice and BABL/c mice experimental group. The mice in the experimental groups were subjected to the subcutaneous injection of IL 11 2 days before transplantation and 7 days after transplantation, while those in the control groups not to IL 11. The effects of IL 11 on CD4 + and CD8 + T cells before and after transplantation in ALL mice were evaluated by flow cytometry. The survival time of ALL mice after marrow transplantation was recorded. The GVHD pathological changes of liver, spleen and intestine in ALL mice after transplantation were observed. The level of tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF ?) was detected by ELISA. Results In group D, IL 11 could significantly decrease the number of CD4 + T cells and increase CD8 + T cells simultaneously. IL 11 could obviously prolong the survival time, delay and relieve GVHD, and decrease the level of TNF ? in ALL mice after transplantation. Conclusion IL 11 could alleviate GVHD and retain GVL effect after allogenic bone marrow transplantation.
