Abstract
The interaction of immune cells with endothelial and target cells and extracellular matrix in human organ transplants is regulated by a number of receptor-ligand molecules. The molecules mediating intercellular adhesion and activation are classified as integrin, immunoglobulin and selectin families. In the present study the patterns of their cellular expression in human heart and lung transplants are described in normal state and during transplant rejection. The results reveal an organ specific regulation of the different adhesion molecules during transplant rejection. Specific differences were noted in the endothelial expression of vascular ligand molecules in the vascular segments of heart and lung transplants, especially in the lung capillaries. Cell type specific patterns of intercellular and cell-matrix adhesion molecules as their ligands were found in different states of graft rejection. Intravascular and interstitial differences in the expression patterns of leukocyte adhesion receptors support a concept of their stepwise function during graft infiltration. The implications for the organ specific appearance of inflammatory reactions in human heart and lung transplants as for immunosuppressive therapy are discussed. (Mol Cell Biochem 147: 21–27, 1995)
