Abstract

Antibody-mediated rejection is caused in part by increasing circulation/production of donor-specific antibody (DSA). Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is a key regulator of class switch recombination and somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin in B cells, yet its role in antibody-mediated transplant rejection remains unclear. We show here that AID deficiency in mice enables suppression of allograft vasculopathy (AV) after aorta transplantation, a DSA-mediated process. Splenocytes from C57BL/6 J (B6) AID(−/−) mice were used for determining in vitro proliferation responses, alloreactivity, cell surface marker expression, and antibody production. BALB/c mouse aortas were transplanted into B6 AID(−/−) mice with or without FK506 treatment. Blood and aorta grafts were harvested on day 30 after transplantation and were subjected to DSA, histological, and immunohistological analyses. The AID(−/−) splenocytes were comparable to wild type splenocytes in proliferation responses, alloreactivity, and expression of cell surface markers in vitro. However, they completely failed to produce immunoglobulin G, although they were not impaired in immunoglobulin M production relative to controls. Furthermore, BALB/c aorta grafts from B6 AI...Continue Reading
