| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the effects on the graft survival of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor Pravastatin, an anti-arteriosclerosis drug, in the murine cardiac transplant model. Our models injected intraperitoneally with one dose of 10 µg/day of Pravastatin for 7 days after grafting had the significant prolongation of graft survival and the generation of regulatory T cells. Morphometric analysis showed the suppression of intimal hyperplasia in left coronary arteries of donor B6 heart from Pravastatin-exposed recipients. Moreover, the addition of Pravastatin to allogeneic mix leukocyte culture could inhibit alloproliferation in a dose-dependent manner. This study has been published in Transplantation Proceedings.
