NK细胞在小鼠异基因骨髓移植中的作用

Role of NK cells in mouse allogeneic bone marrow transplantation

目的研究自然杀伤(NK)细胞在异基因骨髓移植中对移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)、移植排斥、骨髓植入及造血重建的影响。方法以近交系小鼠C57/6j(H-2b)为供鼠、BALB/c(H-2d)为受鼠,在移植物中增加供者的外周T细胞和/或NK细胞进行异基因骨髓移植,用流式细胞仪检测受鼠的CD34+细胞计数和H-2Kb+细胞表达水平,血细胞自动分析仪检测外周血白细胞计数,并结合临床表现和病理检查,比较不同移植组的存活率、GVHD、植入水平及造血重建等。结果增加NK细胞组的小鼠存活率显著大于不增加NK细胞组,小鼠出现GVHD的数量少、程度轻,外周血白细胞及骨髓CD34+细胞恢复快、H-2Kb+细胞表达水平高。结论NK细胞抑制小鼠异基因骨髓移植中的GVHD和移植排斥,促进骨髓植入及造血重建。

AIM: To study the effect of natural killer(NK)-cells on graft-versus-host disease(GVHD), graft rejection, engraftment and reconstituting of hematopoiesis in mouse allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. METHODS: Lethally irradiated BALB/c(H-2 d) mice were transplanted with C57/6j(H-2 b) bone marrow containing donor peripheral T cells and/or NK cells. Recipients CD 34 + cell counts and the expression of H-2K b+ cell were detected by flow cytometry, peripheral white blood cell(WBC) was detected by auto-cytometry, and the recipients survival rates, GVHD, engraftment and hematopoiesis recovery were then observed. RESULTS: In the group of transplanted with NK cells infusion, the incidence of GVHD was evidently lessened, the survival rates, WBC and CD 34 + cell counts and the expression of H-2K b+ cell were significantly high than that without NK cells infusion. CONCLUSION: In mouse allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, alloreactivity NK cells prevent GVHD, reduce graft rejection, and promote engraftment and reconstituting of hematopoiesis. [
