Objective To investigate the dynamic expression and clinical significance of toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/CD80 in patients before and early after renal transplantation. Methods Thirty-two patients who received renal transplantation were enrolled in his study. All of them were primary recipients, and the level of panal reactive antibody less than 1%. The expression of TLR4 and CD80 in CD14, positive monocyte of peripheral blood from atients on the 1st, 4th, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and 35 th days after transplantation were measured by three-color fluorescent taining flow cytometry. The pa-tients were divided into rejection roup(7 cases) and non-rejection group(25 cases) according to rejec-tion episode record within 2 weeks. Normal control group(10 cases) enrolled healthy adult volunteers. Diagnosis of acute rejection depended on clinical symptoms, lab test, color doppler onography and re-nal biopsy. Results Before ransplanstation, the ressions of TLR4 and CD80 were (8.03± 0.84)% and (0.85±0.31)% in rejection group, (6.14±0.85)% and (0.84±0.39)% in non-rejec-tion group, (6.37±0.56)% and (0.85±0.35)% in normal control group. The expression of TLR4 of rejection group was higher than those of non-rejection group and normal control group(P<0.01). The expressions of CD80 of 3 groups had no significant difference(P=0.995). After ransplanstation, the expressions of TLR4 and CD80 increased to (16.50±1.02)% and (7.82±1.66)% in rejection group, (11.60±0.98)% and (2.26±0.96)% in non-rejection group at the 4th day, and reached the peak levels at the 7th day: (36.40±4.86)% and (9.53±1.97)% in rejection group, (22.70± 3.45)% and (1.87±0.72)% in non-rejection group, then displayed downtrend, rejection group de-creased to (7.10±0.82)% and (0.87±0.57)% at the 35th day, non-rejection group decreased to (7.20±0.76)% and (0.81±0.37)% at the 21st day. Compared with non-rejection group, rejection group showed higher peak expression value of TLR4/CD80 (P<0.01) and longer lasting time. Con-clusions The high expression of TLR4 may increase the risk of acute rejection. The up-regulated TLR4/CD80 levels early after renal transplantation may ontribute to the happeness of acute rejection.
