Adenovirus mediated CTLA4Ig transgene therapy alleviates abortion by inhibiting spleen lymphocyte proliferation and regulating apoptosis in the feto-placental unit.

Abstract:

:Pregnancy is thought to be a state of immunological tolerance. The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still poorly understood. In our previous study, adenovirus mediated CTLA4Ig transgene (Ad-CTLA4Ig) therapy was demonstrated to improve pregnancy outcome in an abortion-prone mouse model by skewing the Th2/Th1 cytokine balance, expanding peripheral CD4(+) CD25(+) regulatory T cell populations and inducing indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) mRNA expression at the maternal-fetal interface. However, it is still not clear whether other mechanisms are involved in the protective effect of CTLA-4 on pregnancy outcome in abortion-prone matings. In this study, we focused on the effect of CTLA4Ig on spleen lymphocyte proliferation and apoptosis at the maternal-fetal interface. We demonstrated that Ad-CTLA4Ig therapy inhibited the proliferation of CBA/J splenocytes and IL-2 secretion in response to DBA/2 stimulator cells in the abortion-prone mice model. Ad-CTLA4Ig therapy also skewed cytokine production toward a Th2 bias and regulated the expression of anti-apoptosis factor Bcl-2 and pro-apoptosis factor Bax at the maternal-fetal interface. However, it did not influence the apoptosis and cell cycles of splenocytes in pregnant CBA/J mice. On the whole, these findings indicated that Ad-CTLA4Ig therapy could ameliorate the outcome of spontaneous abortion by inhibiting proliferation of maternal spleen lymphocytes and regulating apoptosis in the feto-placental unit.
