The hybrid CL-SP-D molecule has the potential to regulate xenogeneic rejection by human neutrophils more efficiently than CD47.
Transplant Immunology 2024 March 6
OBJECTIVE: Innate immunity plays a vital role in xenotransplantation. A CD47 molecule, binding to the SIRPα expressed on monocyte/macrophage cells, can suppress cytotoxicity. Particularly, the SIRPα contains ITIM, which delivers a negative signal. Our previous study demonstrated that the binding between CL-P1 and surfactant protein-D hybrid (CL-SP-D) with SIRPα regulates macrophages' phagocytic activity. In this study, we examined the effects of human CD47 and CL-SP-D expression on the inhibition of xenograft rejection by neutrophils in swine endothelial cells (SECs).
METHODS: We first examined SIRPα expression on HL-60 cells, a neutrophil-like cell line, and neutrophils isolated from peripheral blood. CD47-expressing SECs or CL-SP-D-expressing SECs were generated through plasmid transfection. Subsequently, these SECs were co-cultured with HL-60 cells or neutrophils. After co-culture, the degree of cytotoxicity was calculated using the WST-8 assay. The suppressive function of CL-SP-D on neutrophils was subsequently examined, and the results were compared with those of CD47 using naïve SECs as controls. Additionally, we assessed ROS production and neutrophil NETosis.
RESULTS: In initial experiments, the expression of SIRPα on HL-60 and neutrophils was confirmed. Exposure to CL-SP-D significantly suppressed the cytotoxicity in HL-60 (p = 0.0038) and neutrophils (p = 0.00003). Furthermore, engagement with CD47 showed a suppressive effect on neutrophils obtained from peripheral blood (p = 0.0236) but not on HL-60 (p = 0.4244). The results of the ROS assays also indicated a significant downregulation of SEC by CD47 (p = 0.0077) or CL-SP-D (p = 0.0018). Additionally, the suppression of NETosis was confirmed (p = 0.0125) in neutrophils co-cultured with SCE/CL-SP-D.
CONCLUSION: These results indicate that CL-SP-D is highly effective on neutrophils in xenogeneic rejection. Furthermore, CL-SP-D was more effective than CD47 at inhibiting neutrophil-mediated xenograft rejection.
