Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cyclosporine A (CsA) and tacrolimus (FK506) on interleukin‑15 (IL‑15) production during acute rejection following heart transplantation in mice. Inbred male Balb/c (H‑2d) and C57BL/6 (H‑2b) mice were used to establish a heterotopic intra‑abdominal cardiac transplantation model. The mice were divided in four groups: syngeneic control, allogeneic acute rejection, allogeneic rejection treated with CsA, and allogeneic rejection treated with FK506. The expression of IL‑15, IL‑2, and tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α) was measured using reverse transcription‑polymerase chain reaction (RT‑PCR) and western blotting. A low level of IL‑15 was detected in transplanted hearts of the control group, with a significant increase observed in the allogeneic acute rejection group. Compared to the allogeneic acute rejection group, IL‑15 expression was significantly decreased in the CsA‑and FK506‑treated allogeneic rejection groups. The TNF‑α expression pattern was similar to that of IL‑15 in all groups. IL‑2 expression was increased in the allogeneic acute rejection group and was inhibited in mice treated with CsA and FK506. In conclusion, increased IL‑15 expression in rejected murine heart grafts may be reduced by CsA and FK506 in vivo.
