Abstract：
:Immature dendritic cells (iDCs) are bone marrow-derived professional antigen-presenting cells, exhibit very low levels of the co-stimulatory molecules CD80 (B7-1), CD86 (B7-2), and CD40 and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II and play a critical role in triggering antigen-specific immunotolerance. The enzyme indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) is a cytosolic tryptophan catabolism rate-limiting step enzyme. IDO secreted by DCs shows an association with the suppression of T-cell responses and promotion of tolerance. In this study, BN rat recipients were pre-injected with donor renal alloantigen-treated recipient iDCs before kidney transplantation. The renal allograft exhibited a lighter renal rejection response, prolonged graft survival time, and an increasing content of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs). Additionally, up-regulated secretion of Th2 cytokines were found in recipient sera post-transplantation. Transfection of si-IDO1 RNA into renal-antigen-treated recipient iDCs reversed these changes, which suggested that IDO channel signaling may be involved in iDC-induced allograft immunotolerance. These results suggested that iDC-induced and IDO-mediated allograft immunotolerance might be a potentially feasible tactic to prolong allograft survival, in addition to immunosuppressive drugs.
