Abstract
The cause of acute T cell-mediated rejection (aTCMR) is believed to be immune hyperfunction of T cells after kidney transplantation. Nowadays, calcineurin inhibitors are widely used to inhibit the proliferation of T cells when aTCMR occurs. However, the therapeutic dose window of these drugs is relatively narrow and long time use of these drugs may lead to serious side effects. Besides, whether IL-10, a new immune tolerance mediator, playing a therapeutic role on aTCMR remains unclear. The level of IL-10 decreased in patients with aTCMR, suggesting that IL-10 may be involved in the progression of aTCMR. IL-10 could inhibit the proliferation and metabolism of T cells in vitro and in vivo, accompanied by reducing the levels of IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α. Moreover, we confirmed that IL-10 exerts immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting the NFATc1 signaling pathway of T cells. This viewpoint may provide a new therapeutic idea for clinical application.
期刊介绍:
BBA Molecular Basis of Disease addresses the biochemistry and molecular genetics of disease processes and models of human disease. This journal covers aspects of aging, cancer, metabolic-, neurological-, and immunological-based disease. Manuscripts focused on using animal models to elucidate biochemical and mechanistic insight in each of these conditions, are particularly encouraged. Manuscripts should emphasize the underlying mechanisms of disease pathways and provide novel contributions to the understanding and/or treatment of these disorders. Highly descriptive and method development submissions may be declined without full review. The submission of uninvited reviews to BBA - Molecular Basis of Disease is strongly discouraged, and any such uninvited review should be accompanied by a coverletter outlining the compelling reasons why the review should be considered.
