- Abstract
- Rejection is an important issue in kidney transplant. Although with adequate trough level of tacrolimus, acute rejection occurs, and we are focused on these cases. We hypothesized that the lower concentration of tacrolimus in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell would be a cause of rejection; in this regard, we describe ABCB1, which regulates intracellular concentration of tacrolimus. The effect of inflammation on the intracellular concentration of tacrolimus was evaluated, as was the association between that concentration and ABCB1 and CD44 activities. Seven kidney recipients experiencing acute rejection were prospectively enrolled. Both the whole blood concentration of tacrolimus and intracellular concentration of tacrolimus were measured at the time of enrollment and after stabilization. A human T lymphoblastoid cell line (Jurkat T cell) was treated with various concentrations of tacrolimus for 21 h and then stimulated for 3 h. The levels of mRNA interleukin-2, interleukin-8, and interferon-gamma decreased dose dependently by tacrolimus. Furthermore, a fluorescence-activated cell sorter was used to count cells expressing CD44 and ABCB1; changes in intracellular concentration of tacrolimus were explored after tacrolimus treatment and stimulation. Also, B6 splenocytes were tested in the same manner as previous Jurkat T cell experiments. The tacrolimus ratio of three patients was lower at the time of acute rejection than when patients were stabilized. In vitro, the intracellular concentration of tacrolimus decreased after stimulation. Under the same conditions, CD44⁺ ABCB1⁺ cells increased in proportion on tacrolimus treatment and stimulation. This work supports the hypothesis that inflammation reduces the intracellular tacrolimus level, possibly via drug efflux mediated by CD44⁺ ABCB1⁺ and inflammation could lead to acute rejection.
