AbstractBackground. Recombinant adeno-associated virus vector (rAAV) is a promising vehicle for gene delivery, but few reports have documented its application in solid organ transplantation. In a rat orthotopic liver transplantation model, we investigated the efficacy of rAAV-mediated human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 and immunoglobulin G (hCTLA4Ig) gene transfer to induce long-term allograft survival. Methods. Dark Agouti and Lewis rats were used as donors and recipients, respectively, in six experimental groups: (a) syngeneic control, (b) no treatment, (c) rAAV-green fluorescent protein, (d) rAAV-hCTLA4Ig, (e) low-dose FK506 for 7 days, and (f) rAAV-hCTLA4Ig and low-dose FK506 for 7 days. Results. The liver allografts were rejected within 10 days when no treatment was given or rAAV-green fluorescent protein was delivered. rAAV-hCTLA4Ig transduction slightly prolonged the survival time to 11 days. Long-term survival was achieved using the combined treatment of rAAV-hCTLA4Ig and low-dose FK506, whereas grafts were rejected on day 33 in the low-dose FK506 group. A sustained hCTLA4 level in plasma was detected in the combined treatment group from day 5 to day 180. On postoperative day 5, combined treatment significantly decreased the interleukin-2 and interferon-γ protein levels in the grafts and the number of infiltrating B, T, CD25+, CD4+, CD8+, and NK cells. Conclusion. This study shows that rAAV-hCTLA4Ig gene transfer combined with low-dose FK506 can achieve long-term liver allograft survival.
