This study demonstrated the importance of the FKN-CX3CR1 axis in ischemia reperfusion injury-related rejection. Blocking this axis could potentially improve transplantation outcomes.
Transplantation outcomes are affected by the increase in rejection associated with ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Fractalkine (FKN), a chemokine for recruitment of CX3CR1(+) leukocytes, contributes to the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. Herein, we evaluated the importance of the FKN-CX3CR1 axis during IRI-related rejections using a mouse heterotopic heart transplantation model. FKN expression and graft survival was compared between wild-type C57BL/6 recipients transplanted with BALB/c hearts preserved for 8 (WT-IRI) and 0.5 h (WT-control) at 4 degrees C. Graft survival of WT-IRI was shorter than that of WT-control. FKN was expressed on the vascular endothelium in WT-IRI allografts, but minimally in WT-control. The role of the FKN-CX3CR1 axis in IRI-related rejection was directly investigated using the transplant model with CX3CR1-deficient recipients (CX3CR1 KO-IRI) or treatment with anti-mouse FKN monoclonal antibodies. Graft survival of CX3CR1 KO-IRI was longer than that of WT-IRI; antibody treatment prolonged graft survival. The contribution of CX3CR1(+) monocytes to IRI-related rejection was evaluated by adoptive transfer to CX3CR1 KO-IRI. Adoptive transfer of CX3CR1(+) monocytes attenuated the effect of prolonged graft survival in CX3CR1 KO-IRI. Overall, the FKN-CX3CR1 axis plays a major role during IRI-related rejection; its blockade has the potential to improve the outcomes of deceased donor transplantation.
