摘要
Objective: Recent reports suggest that both the complement system and alloreactive T cells contribute to allograft rejection. However, their underlying relationship and mechanism of action is poorly understood. Herein, we investigate the role of complement component 3(C3) in a single MHC- Ⅱ molecule mismatched murine model of allograft rejection using C3 deficient mice(C3~(-/-)) as skin graft donors or recipients.Methods: The allografts survival were monitored and histological changes of skin grafts were also assessed. Gene expression coding inflammatory cytokines and T cell proliferation in vitro were tested. The expansion of CD4~+CD25~+Foxp3~+ regulatory T cells and Th1/17 cells were analyzed by Flow cytometry and immune histological staining. At last, the DC capacity was examined by co-cluture them with allo-reactive CD4~+T cells for up to 9 days.Results: Compared with C3~+/~+ B6 allografts, C3~(-/-) B6 grafts dramatically prolonged survival in MHC-Ⅱ molecule mismatched H-2bm12 B6 recipients. However, no difference was observed when H-2bm12 B6 skin grafts were donated to C3~+/~+ B6 and C3~(-/-) B6 recipients. Compared with C3~+/~+ allografts, both Th17 cell infiltration and Th1/Th17 associated cytokine mR NA levels were clearly reduced in C3~(-/-) allografts. Moreover, C3~(-/-) allografts caused an impaired mixed lymphocyte reaction and attenuated Th1/Th17 responses, but increased CD4~+CD25~+Foxp3~+ regulatory T(Treg) cell expression markedly in local intragraft and H-2bm12 recipients. Depletion of Treg cells by anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody(m Ab) negated the survival advantages conferred by C3 deficiency. Additionally, C3~(-/-) dendritic cells(DC) had more advantage in upregulating Foxp3 gene expression and Treg cell induction compared to C3~+/~+ DC.Conclusion: Our results indicate for the first time that local C3 deficiency can prolong MHC-Ⅱ molecule mismatched skin allograft survival and confirm the association of local C3 deficiency with CD4~+ CD25~+ Treg cell population expansion, which may then lead to impaired Th1/Th17 responses in recipients with C3~(-/-) allografts.
