Abstract:: |
Objective To investigate the effect and underlying mechanism of BRCC3 knockout on acute GVHD(aGVHD) of mice.Methods A total of 12 recipient C57BL/6J mice were divided into two groups, including 6 wild type(WT) and BRCC3-/-(KO). The recipients were exposed to 4.5 Gy + 4.5 Gy 60Co γ-rays in total body irradiation (TBI) at 30 min intervals. At 6 h post-irradiation, 1×107 bone marrow cells and 8×106 splenocytes from BALB/c mice were infused into C57BL/6J mouse via tail vein to develop aGVHD mouse model. BRCC3 was specifically knocked out in aGVHD mouse model. The organ damage was examined through histopathology. The levels of serum cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) and cytometric bead array (CBA), respectively. Spleen, liver and small intestine lymphocytes were isolated at 9 d post-transplantation, and the infiltration and activation of T cells in the target organs were assayed using flow cytometry.Results The absence of BRCC3 in recipient mice significantly shortened survival (P < 0.05) with increased liver injury of aGVHD mice. In BRCC3-/- recipient mice, the proportions of CD8+ T cells and CD8+CD25+ T cells were significantly higher than those in the spleen(t=6.53, 5.52, P < 0.05), and the proportions of CD8+ T cells and CD8+CD25+ T cells were significantly increased in the liver (t=3.74, 3.19, P < 0.05). Similarly, the proportions of CD8+ T cells, CD8+CD25+ T cells and CD8+CD69+ T cells were significantly elevated in the small intestine (t=3.52, 4.06, 3.29, P < 0.05).Conclusions BRCC3 deletion increased the proliferation and activation of donor CD8+ T cells and aggravated aGVHD, which might provide a new prevention and treatment target for aGVHD. |
