Graft Versus Host

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation is associated with impaired deletion and anergy of host-reactive T cells. To elucidate the immunoregulatory events that may contribute to such dysregulated T-cell responses in GVHD, we studied superantigen (SAg) responses after adoptive T-cell transfer into severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. SAg responses are normally regulated by mechanisms involving deletion and anergy, with SAg-reactive T cells typically being deleted rapidly in vivo. In a SCID mouse model of GVHD, however, allogeneic host SAg-reactive T cells were not deleted rapidly, but rather persisted in increased numbers for several months. Moreover, depending on the timing of SAg stimulation and the numbers of T cells transferred, dysregulation (impaired deletion and anergy) of SAg responses could be demonstrated following the adoptive transfer of syngeneic T cells into SCID mice as well. Transgenic T-cell receptor-bearing KJ1-26.1+ T cells were then used to determine the fate of weakly reactive T cells after adoptive transfer and SAg stimulation. When transferred alone, KJ1-26.1+ T cells demonstrated impaired deletion and anergy. In the presence of more strongly staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB)–reactive T cells, however, KJ1-26.1+ T cells were regulated normally, in a manner that could be prevented by inhibiting the effects of more strongly SEB-reactive cells or by increasing the level of activation of the KJ1-26.1+ T cells themselves. We suggest that the control mechanisms that normally regulate strongly activated T cells in immunocompetent animals are lost following adoptive transfer into immunodeficient hosts, and that this impairment contributes to the development of GVHD.

Acute Graft

In a series of patients transplanted with HLA-matched allogeneic bone marrow grafts (alloBMT), we previously showed that a few T-cell receptor (TCR) V alpha and V beta gene segment transcripts were overexpressed in skin compared with blood at the time of acute graft- versus-host disease (aGVHD). Here, in one selected patient with overexpressed V beta 16 and V alpha 11 transcripts in skin, we analyzed the junctional variability of these transcripts in donor blood, patient blood, and skin collected at aGVHD onset. A unique junctional region sequence accounted for 81% of in frame V beta 16 transcripts (13 of 16) in skin and 59% (13 of 22) in patient blood. Similarly, two recurrent junctional region sequences were found in skin V alpha 11 transcripts, one accounting for 66% (21 of 32) and the other for 16% (5 of 32). These recurrences were also found in patient blood (36% and 15% of V alpha 11 transcripts, respectively). To extend our analysis, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method was used to precisely determine TCR beta transcript length in run-off reactions using uncloned bulk cDNA samples. All V beta-C beta PCR products analyzed in donor blood, as well as the majority of those analyzed in patient blood, included transcripts with highly diverse junctional region sizes. As expected from the sequence data, most V beta 16-C beta PCR products in skin and patient blood were of the same size (ie, same junctional region). In addition, V beta 3, V beta 5, and V beta 17 transcripts in skin were shown to display highly restricted size variability. The clonality of the V beta 16-C beta and V beta 17-C beta transcripts was further supported by the results of run-off reactions using 13 J beta specific primers. We have identified several recurrent TCR transcripts in skin, some of them also present in patient blood. These data support the view that several T-cell subpopulations are clonally expanded in vivo at the time of aGVHD onset in this case of related HLA-matched alloBMT.
