Transplantation of allogeneic T cells alters iron homeostasis in NOD/SCID mice.

چکیده
Iron overload is common in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), but the mechanisms leading to overload are unknown. Here, we determined iron levels and the expression of iron regulatory proteins in the liver and gut of nonobese diabetic-severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice that underwent transplantation with syngeneic (histocompatible) or allogeneic (histoincompatible) T lymphocytes. Infusion of histoincompatible T cells resulted in a significant rise in serum iron levels and liver iron content. Iron deposition was accompanied by hepatocyte injury and intestinal villous damage. Feeding of low- or high-iron diet was associated with appropriate ferroportin 1 and hepcidin responses in mice given histocompatible T cells, whereas mice given histoincompatible T cells showed inappropriate up-regulation of duodenal ferroportin 1 and a loss of expression of hepatic hepcidin. These findings suggest that alloreactive T cell-dependent signals induced dysregulation of intestinal iron absorption, which contributed to liver iron overload after HCT.

BACKGROUND Even though hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be curative in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency, there is a need for additional strategies boosting T cell immunity in individuals suffering from genetic disorders of lymphoid development. Here we show that image-guided intrathymic injection of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in NOD-scid IL2rγnull mice is f...
متن کاملNOD Scid Gamma Mice Are Permissive to Allogeneic HSC Transplantation without Prior Conditioning
Scid hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have an intrinsic defect in their maintenance within the bone marrow (BM) niche which facilitates HSC transplantation without the absolute requirement of prior conditioning. Nevertheless, NOD scid mice have a significantly altered life span due to early development of thymic lymphomas, which compromises the ability to study the long-term fate of exogenous HS...

Human SCID repopulating cells (SRC) are defined based on their functional ability to repopulate the bone marrow of NOD/SCID mice with both myeloid and lymphoid cell populations. The frequency of SRC in umbilical cord blood cells is 1 in 9.3 x 10(5) mononuclear cells. We report that as few as 8 x 10(4) human cord blood mononuclear cells transplanted into NOD/SCID/B2m(null )mice resulted in multi...
