Cold ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an unavoidable complication of kidney transplantation. We investigated the role of regulatory T cells (Treg) in cold IRI and whether the interleukin (IL)-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex (IL-2C) can ameliorate cold IRI.
We developed a cold IRI mouse model using kidney transplantation and analyzed the IL-2C impact on cold IRI in acute, subacute and chronic phases.
Treg transfer attenuated cold IRI, while Treg depletion aggravated cold IRI. Next, IL-2C administration prior to IRI mitigated acute renal function decline, renal tissue damage and apoptosis and inhibited infiltration of effector cells into kidneys and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression on day 1 after IRI. On day 7 after IRI, IL-2C promoted renal regeneration and reduced subacute renal damage. Furthermore, on day 28 following IRI, IL-2C inhibited chronic fibrosis. IL-2C decreased reactive oxygen species-mediated injury and improved antioxidant function. When IL-2C was administered following IRI, it also increased renal regeneration with Treg infiltration and suppressed renal fibrosis. In contrast, Treg depletion in the presence of IL-2C eliminated the positive effects of IL-2C on IRI.
Tregs protect kidneys from cold IRI and IL-2C inhibited cold IRI by increasing the renal Tregs, suggesting a potential of IL-2C in treating cold IRI.
Interleukin (IL)-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex attenuated acute renal injury, facilitated subacute renal regeneration and suppressed chronic renal fibrosis after cold ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by increasing the renal Tregs. IL-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex decreased reactive oxygen species-mediated injury and improved antioxidant function. This study suggests the therapeutic potential of the IL-2/anti-IL-2 antibody complex in kidney transplantation-associated cold IR.
冷缺血再灌注损伤(IRI)是肾移植不可避免的并发症。我们研究了调节性 T 细胞(Treg)在冷 IRI 中的作用,以及白细胞介素(IL)-2/抗 IL-2 抗体复合物(IL-2C)是否可以改善冷 IRI。
我们使用肾移植建立了冷 IRI 小鼠模型,并分析了 IL-2C 在急性、亚急性和慢性阶段对冷 IRI 的影响。
Treg 转移减轻了冷 IRI,而 Treg 耗竭加重了冷 IRI。其次,IRI 前给予 IL-2C 减轻了急性肾功能下降、肾组织损伤和细胞凋亡,并抑制了效应细胞浸润和促炎细胞因子在 IRI 后第 1 天的表达。在 IRI 后第 7 天,IL-2C 促进了肾脏再生并减少了亚急性肾损伤。此外,在 IRI 后第 28 天,IL-2C 抑制了慢性纤维化。IL-2C 减少了活性氧介导的损伤并改善了抗氧化功能。当 IRI 后给予 IL-2C 时,它还增加了 Treg 浸润的肾脏再生并抑制了肾脏纤维化。相比之下,在存在 IL-2C 的情况下耗尽 Treg 消除了 IL-2C 对 IRI 的积极影响。
Treg 可保护肾脏免受冷 IRI 损伤,IL-2C 通过增加肾脏 Treg 抑制冷 IRI,提示 IL-2C 有治疗冷 IRI 的潜力。
白细胞介素(IL)-2/抗 IL-2 抗体复合物通过增加肾脏 Treg 减轻冷缺血再灌注损伤(IRI)后的急性肾损伤、促进亚急性肾脏再生和抑制慢性肾脏纤维化。IL-2/抗 IL-2 抗体复合物减少了活性氧介导的损伤并改善了抗氧化功能。本研究提示 IL-2/抗 IL-2 抗体复合物在肾移植相关冷 IRI 中的治疗潜力。
