Resumo:
Understanding the evolution of the direct and indirect pathways of allorecognition following tissue transplantation is essential in the design of tolerance-promoting protocols. On the basis that donor bone marrow-derived antigen presenting cells are eliminated within days of transplantation, it has been argued that the indirect response represents the major threat to long term transplant survival, and is consequently the key target for regulation. However, the detection of MHC transfer between cells, and particularly the capture of MHC:peptide complexes by dendritic cells, led us to propose a third, semi-direct, pathway of MHC allorecognition. Persistence of this pathway would lead to sustained activation of direct pathway T cells, arguably persisting for the life of the transplant. In this study, we focused on the contribution of acquired MHC class I, on recipient DCs, during the life span of a skin graft. We observed that MHC class I acquisition by recipient DCs occurs for at least one month following transplantation and may be the main source of alloantigen that drives CD8+ cytotoxic T cell responses. In addition, acquired MHC class I-peptide complexes stimulate T cell responses in vivo further emphasizing the need to regulate both pathways to induce indefinite survival of the graft.
