Pediatr Transplantation 2010: 14:614–617. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Abstract: We studied the effect of the combined treatment with FK506, FTY720, and ex vivo graft irradiation. Five groups of SBT animals were studied on days 3, 5, and 7 after operation (untreated, FK506, FTY720, FK506 + FTY720, FK506 + FTY720 + irradiation). Indirect immunoperoxidase staining was performed against CD4 and MAdCAM‐1. The numbers of CD4 positive cells in allografts were also analyzed by flow cytometry. The graft survival was prolonged in all of the FK506‐ and FTY720‐treated groups. SBT allografts treated by FK506 and FTY720 demonstrated less infiltration of CD4 positive cells, but the irradiation group did not show any effects on its expression. In FK506‐ and FTY720‐treated groups, MAdCAM‐1 expression on the HEVs in PPs was up‐regulated, and its expression on the ECVs in the LP was down‐regulated compared with other allograft groups. Irradiation did not show any effects on MAdCAM‐1 expression on both HEVs in PPs and ECVs in LP. FK506 and FTY720 prevented the infiltration of CD4 positive cells, the down‐regulation of MAdCAM‐1 expression on HEVs in PPs, and the up‐regulation of MAdCAM‐1 expression on ECVs in LP during the early phase of SBT.
