1 E possibile creare un ambiente tollerogenico dopo il trapianto d organo utilizzando cellule staminali come se fossero farmaci? Giuseppe Remuzzi 1 Infections & Transplantation Varese, 18 maggio 2017
2 LONG TERM GRAFT SURVIVAL AFTER RENAL TRANSPLANTATION HAS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED IN THE PERIOD Projected median half-life (years) Deceased donor years of transplant No rejection * within 1 year post-tx Rejection* 10.9 OPNT/SRTR 2012 Annual Data Report
3 THE PROMISE OF NOVEL IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE AGENTS Basiliximab (chimeric monoclonal antibody against IL-2 R) CAMPATH-1H (humanized anti-cd52 antibody - T and B cells depletion) Belatacept (IgG/CTLA4 fusion protein selective blocker of T cell activation) Mycophenolate (specific suppressor of T and B lymphocytes) Daclizumab (humanized monoclonal antibody against IL-2 R) Sirolimus Everolimus (m-tor T cell proliferation inhibitor) Kidney Tx (Lancet) Kidney Tx (Nashan et al., Lancet) Kidney Tx (Vincenti et al., N Engl J Med) Kidney Tx (Calne et al., Lancet) Kidney Tx (Kahan et al., Lancet) Heart Tx (Eisen et al., N Engl J Med) Kidney Tx (Vincenti et al., N Engl J Med)
4 THE SPECIAL PROBLEM OF MEMORY IFN-γ Activated CD8 + memory - Calcineurin inhibitors - Hydrocortisone - Azathioprine - MMF - Basiliximab - Sirolimus, everolimus - Alemtuzumab* IFN-γ blockade (in vitro) partial partial no partial partial stimulation stimulation * Campath-1 Jones et al., Transplantation, 2006 Page et al., Curr OpOrgan Transplant, 2009 Memory T cells contribute to allograft rejection through: - Activation endothelial cells - Help naïve CD8, CD4 T cells and B cells 4
5 COSTIMULATON BLOCKADE-RESISTANT REJECTION Belatacept APC Naïve CD28 + T cells Memory CD28 - T cells APC CD80/86 CD28 CD80/86 MHC TCR TCR MHC CD8 + CD8 + Antigen-experienced T cells, in particular CD8 + Tcells, lose CD28 expression and became memory T cells with increased capability of mounting a rapid response upon antigen rechallenge independent of CD80/86-CD28 costimulation 5 Traitanou et al., Am J Transpl, 2014
6 BELATACEPT-RESISTANT REJECTION - CD28 - CD8 + T CELLS CD8 + TCR TNFα INFγ IL-15 Effector-memory phenotype 6
