Figure 7. Effects of anti-miR-17 or anti-miR-19 LNA antagomirs on donor T-cell alloresponse and GVHD. BALB/c mice were lethally irradiated and transplanted with 2 × 106 purified and CFSE-labeled T cells from WT B6 mice. Recipient mice were injected IV with scrambled, anti-miR-17, or anti-miR-19 at 25 mg/kg on day 0 and 5 mg/kg on day 2. Recipients were killed on day 4 after cell transfer, and splenocytes were counted and stained for surface expression of H2Kb (donor marker), CD4, CD8 on gated live cells (A), and intracellular IFNγ along with CFSE profile gated on H2Kb+ CD4+ or CD8+ cells (C). Absolute numbers of CD4+ or CD8+ donor T cells (B), and CFSE-diluted IFN-γ+ cells (D) were shown. Four mice were used in each group. In a separate experiment, BALB/c mice were lethally irradiated and transplanted with 5 × 106 TCD-BM alone or with T cells from B6 mice at 1 × 106/mouse. Recipient mice were treated with individual antagomirs as indicated twice per week from 25 mg/kg on day 0 and then 5 mg/kg until day 21 after BMT. Recipient survival (E) was shown on 6 mice per group. Using the same BMT model, recipient mice were also infused with 5000 luciferase-transduced A20 cells at the day of BMT, and treated with individual antagomirs as indicated. Recipient survival (F) and mortality caused by tumor relapse (G) were shown on 4 to 7 mice per group. *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001.
