Abstract
The efficacy of rapamycin (RAPA) was tested on small bowel transplantation in the mouse and compared with cyclosporine (CsA). Four groups were involved, each one included three combinations (n > or = 6) for evaluation of host-versus-graft (HVG, C57BL/6 X BALB/c F1 (CB6F1)-to-BALB/c), graft-versus-host (GVH, BALB/c-to-CB6F1), and combined HVG and GVH responses (C57BL/6-to-BALB/c). Grafts were transplanted to recipients heterotopically. Groups were as follows: group 1: naive controls; groups 2 and 3: recipient mice treated with RAPA 2 mg/kg/day and 4 mg/kg/day orally for 14 days, respectively; group 4: recipient mouse treated with CsA 4 mg/kg/day orally for 14 days. In the HVG model, the mean survival time (MST) of recipients was significantly longer in group 2 (32.9 +/- 17.7 days, P=0.006), group 3 (32.7 +/- 10.4 days, P=0.0001), and group 4 (37.9 +/- 11.8 days, P=0.0001), compared with naive controls in group 1 (8.5 +/- 1.6 days). In the GHV model, the MST of recipients in group 2 (41.8 +/- 19.9 days, P=0.002), group 3 (48.2 +/- 21.4 days, P=0.001) and group 4 (56.5 +/- 30.6 days, P=0.003) were significantly prolonged compared with control group 1 (8.5 +/- 1.6 days). In combined HVG and GVH responses, MST of recipient in group ...Continue Reading
