Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Endothelial dysfunction in the early phases of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) contributes to a pathology of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which are serious complications of HSCT. Serum Growth arrest-specific (Gas) 6 s levels were significantly increased in HSCT patients with acute GVHD (aGVHD), and Gas6 and Mer expression levels were upregulated in aGVHD lesions of the large intestine and skin. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECs), exogenous Gas6 or the exposure of sera isolated from patients with aGVHD to ECs induced the downregulation of thrombomodulin and the upregulation of PAI-1, which were inhibited by UNC2250, a selective Mer tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In mouse HSCT models, we observed hepatic GVHD with hepatocellular apoptosis, necrosis, and fibrosis of the liver. Of note, intravenous administration of UNC2250 markedly suppressed GVHD in these mouse HSCT models. Our findings suggest that the Gas6-Mer axis is a promising target for GVHD.
