Abstract
The relationship between the expression of adult T-cell leukemia-derived factor, human thioredoxin (ADF/TRX), and rejection in transplanted canine lungs was investigated in this study. Of a total 27 adult mongrel dogs, 24 underwent allotransplantation of the left lung with no immunosuppressant and the other three underwent autotransplantation of the left lung. Of the allotransplanted dogs, five were killed on postoperative day (POD) 1, five on POD 2, seven on POD 3, and seven on POD 5, while all three autotransplanted dogs were killed on POD 5. Histological examination was performed on the 24 allotransplanted left lungs (group A), 12 autologous right lungs (group B), and bilateral lungs of the three autotransplanted dogs (group C). The lung tissue was stained with anti-ADF antibody, and the high-ADF-producing cells (ADFh cells) in a randomly chosen field were counted as an index of ADF expression. As the signs of rejection in the group A lungs became more severe with time, the ADFh cells increased in number: 1.68±1.15, 6.08±3.44, 14.03±6.09, and 47.74±18.89, on PODs 1, 2, 3, and 5, respectively. However, the number of ADFh cells in the group B and group C lungs did not become significantly different from that on POD 1 in group A. These results suggested that ADF/TRX expression may be useful for the early diagnosis of rejection of transplanted lungs.
