In this study, we investigated the possibility of selective
depletion of donor alloantigen-specific T cells from C57BL/6
(H-2b) mice to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
These cells were first activated with irradiated BALB/c
(H-2d) host spleen cells in a 5-day mixed lymphocyte
culture. Following this activation, a photoactive rhodamine derivative
called 4,5-dibromorhodamine 123 (TH9402), was added. This compound is
selectively retained in the mitochondria of activated host-reactive
cells but not tumor- or third-party-specific resting cells. The
treated cells were subsequently exposed to visible light (514 nm) to
deplete the TH9402-enriched activated host-reactive cells. Treatment
with photodynamic cell purging process (PDP) inhibited antihost
responses measured by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) by 93%, and
interferon- production by 66%. By contrast, anti-BCL1
(BALB/c-origin leukemia/lymphoma) and anti-third-party C3H/HeJ
(H-2k) responses were preserved. PDP-treated primed C57BL/6
cells were further tested in vivo. All lethally irradiated BALB/c mice
inoculated with BCL1 cells and T-cell-depleted bone marrow cells
developed leukemia by day +30, with 50% mortality by 100 days. All
mice died of GVHD after addition of 5 × 106
untreated primed C57BL/6 cells. However, addition of same numbers of PDP-treated cells allowed 90% of the recipients to
survive more than 100 days without detectable BCL1 tumor cells and
free of GVHD. Moreover, PDP-treated primed C57BL/6 cells retained the ability to induce GVHD in the third-party C3H/HeJ mice. These data
suggest that PDP can selectively deplete host alloantigen-specific T
cells for GVHD prevention and immune and antileukemia function preserve.
