Differential Impact of T-bet and IFNγ on Pancreatic Islet Allograft Rejection

Abstract

T cell-mediated graft rejection is mostly correlated with potent Th1 responses. However, because IFNγ mice reject their graft as efficiently as wild-type (WT) mice, the exact contribution of IFNγ and its transcription factor T-bet remains a matter of debate. Here, we address this question in the context of pancreatic islet allograft to better inform the molecular pathways that hampers islet survival in vivo. Pancreatic islets from BALB/c mice were transplanted in WT, IFNγ, or T-bet C57BL/6 mice. Graft survival and the induction of effector and cytotoxic T-cell responses were monitored. Rejection of fully mismatched islet allografts correlated with high expression of both IFNγ and T-bet in WT recipients. However, allogeneic islets were permanently accepted in T-bet mice, in contrast to IFNγ hosts. Long-term survival correlated with decreased CD4 and CD8 T-cell infiltrates, drastically reduced donor-specific IFNγ and tumor necrosis factor tumor necrosis factor α responses and very low expression of the cytotoxic markers granzyme B, perforin, and FasLigand. In addition, in vitro and in vivo data pointed to an increased susceptibility of T-bet CD8 T cell to apoptosis. These observations were not reported in IFNγ mice, which have se...Continue Reading
