BACKGROUND: The Japanese herbal medicine Tokishakuyaku-san (TJ-23) has been used to treat neurodegenerative, immune, and respiratory tract diseases, as well as many gynecologic disorders, with few adverse effects. This study investigated the effect of TJ-23 on alloimmune responses in a murine model of cardiac allograft transplantation.
METHODS: CBA mice underwent transplantation of a C57BL/6 heart and received oral administration of 2 g/kg per day of TJ-23 or 1 of 16 other commonly used Japanese herbal medicines from the day of transplantation until 7 days afterward. An adoptive transfer study was conducted to determine whether regulatory cells were generated. Histologic and cell proliferation studies, cytokine measurements, and flow cytometry analyses were also performed.
RESULTS: Of the 17 herbal medicines studied, only TJ-23, given in a dose of 2 g/kg per day, induced significantly prolonged allograft survival (median survival time [MST], >100 days). TJ-23 also suppressed proliferation of splenocytes and production of interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and interferon-γ. Adoptive transfer of either whole splenocytes or CD4(+) or CD4(+) CD25(+) cells from TJ-23-treated allograft recipients resulted in indefinite survival of allografts in naive secondary recipients (MST >100 days). Flow cytometry studies showed that the CD4(+) CD25(+) forkhead/winged-helix (FOXP3)(+) regulatory cell population was increased in transplant recipients given TJ-23.
CONCLUSION: TJ-23 induced hyporesponsiveness to fully allogeneic cardiac allografts and generated CD4(+) CD25(+) regulatory cells in our model.
