Several studies indicated that Galectin-9 (G9) could induce a subgroup of macrophages which is defined as immunosuppressive macrophages (ISMφ) exerting immunosuppressive function similar to regulatory T cells (Treg). The negative immune regulatory function of ISMφ has been confirmed in tumor immunity, maternal-fetal tolerance and autoimmune diseases. We proved that G9 prolongs survival of cardiac allografts in mice, or even induces tolerance, taken together we presume that G9 might protect allografts by inducing ISMφ. Treg amplifies immunomodulatory effects via neuropilin-1-TGF-β1 (Nrp-1-TGF-β1) pathway, and ISMφ highly expresses Nrp-1 on cell surface, we assumed that ISMφ also exerts immunomodulatory effects via Nrp-1-TGF-β1 pathway. Therefore, we will induce bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells differentiate into ISMφ with G9 in vitro, and perform adoptive transfusion of induced ISMφ to recipients to establish cardiac transplant models to demonstrate the protective effects of ISMφ on allografts. Investigate the expression of Nrp-1 and TGF-β1 on ISMφ, explore whether ISMφ negatively regulate immune responses via Nrp-1-TGF-β1 dependent pathway. The research is expected to verify the immune regulatory role of G9 in the innate immune system, to reveal the function and mechanism of ISMφ in transplantation, and to provide new strategy to induce tolerance in transplantation.
有证据表明Galectin-9(G9)可以诱生一群功能类似于Treg的免疫抑制性巨噬细胞(ISMφ),其负性免疫调节作用在肿瘤免疫、母胎耐受和自身免疫性疾病中已得到证实。我们前期证实G9可以延长小鼠心脏移植物生存期甚至诱导耐受,推测其机制可能与G9诱生ISMφ相关。Treg通过Nrp-1-TGF-β1通路放大免疫调节作用,而ISMφ也高表达Nrp-1,我们认为ISMφ调控免疫可能存在与Treg类似的Nrp-1-TGF-β1调节通路。因此本课题拟体外通过G9诱导骨髓源性单核细胞分化为ISMφ,过继输注给受者建立移植模型,论证ISMφ对移植物的保护作用,并检测ISMφ上Nrp-1的表达和其对TGF-β1的激活作用,探讨ISMφ是否通过Nrp-1-TGF-β1通路发挥免疫调节作用。本课题有望证实G9对固有免疫的调节作用,揭示ISMφ在移植领域的作用及其机制,为移植耐受的诱导提供新思路。
