Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Long-term acceptance of semi-identical orthotopic liver transplants (OLTs) in inbred swine is induced by a 12-day course of FK506. To study whether acceptance is attributable to central or peripheral immune mechanisms, the effect of complete thymectomy was determined. METHODS:Total thymectomy was performed in 15 swine 3 to 4 weeks before OLT. Twelve of these animals received a 12-day course of FK506 after OLT, and three animals did not receive immunosuppression. Five additional nonthymectomized pigs received OLT and a FK506 regimen. Graft survival, liver function, histology, and cellular and humoral responses were assessed. RESULTS:Nonthymectomized, FK506-treated animals uniformly showed long-term acceptance of OLT and developed stable donor unresponsiveness. Of the 12 thymectomized, FK506-treated pigs, seven died of non-immunologic causes within 3 postoperative months, and five maintained their OLT for more than 6 months (range 180-450 days). Among these survivors, two developed a complete anti-donor response (mixed lymphocyte reaction [MLR], cell-mediated lymphocytotoxicity [CML], and immunoglobulin [IgG] antibodies) and eventually rejected their OLT at postoperative day 180. The three remaining pigs kept their liver allografts up to 450 days and developed a donor-specific unresponsiveness (a transient anti-donor MLR was observed during the follow-up but never an anti-donor CML or IgG antibodies). All three thymectomized, untreated animals rejected their allografts acutely and displayed a complete anti-donor response (MLR, CML, and IgG antibodies). CONCLUSIONS:Complete thymectomy before OLT impaired but did not uniformly abrogate long-term acceptance of semi-identical OLT, suggesting that peripheral immune mechanisms may be sufficient to induce long-term acceptance of liver allografts in some recipients.
