BACKGROUND: Cytokines play an important role in allograft rejection. The local production of cytokines by T-helper 2 cells within an allograft could influence the induction of graft rejection.
METHODS: Therefore we studied the in vitro production of cytokines by cells infiltrating the graft. graft-infiltrating cell cultures derived from human endomyocardial biopsy specimens more often produced interleukin-2 (p < 0.001), interferon-gamma (p < 0.001), interleukin-4 (p = 0.02), and interleukin-6 (p = 0.04) after stimulation with a B-cell line obtained from the heart donor than after stimulation with a third-party B-cell line. Furthermore, the levels of these cytokines were significantly higher after donor stimulation than after third-party stimulation (p < 0.001).
RESULTS: Within the first 90 days after heart transplantation, significantly higher levels of interleukin-2 (p = 0.050 and interferon-gamma (p = 0.02) were produced by donor-stimulated lymphocyte cultures derived from biopsy specimens taken during a rejection episode compared with cultures from biopsy specimens taken during a period without rejection. After 90 days, the levels of T-helper 1 cytokine (interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma) production were, irrespective of the rejection grade, comparable with those found in the cultures from rejection biopsy specimens taken early after transplantation. With regard to T-helper 2 cytokines (interleukin-4 and interleukin-6), no relation was found with the presence of rejection at any time after transplantation.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that in the first 3 months after heart transplantation, acute rejection is associated with the production of increased levels of T-helper 1 cytokines but not of T-helper 1 cytokines but not of T-helper 2 cytokines by donor stimulated graft-infiltrating lymphocytes. Thereafter, the T-helper 1 cytokine production of graft-infiltrating lymphocytes remained high, suggesting a continuous state of immunologic activity even in the absence of rejection.
