    Abstract Innate immune cells are important in the initiation and potentiation of alloimmunity in transplantation. Immediately upon organ anastomosis and reperfusion, recipient monocytes enter the graft from circulation and differentiate to inflammatory macrophages to promote allograft inflammation. However, factors that drive their differentiation to inflammatory macrophages are not understood. Here, we show that the receptor tyrosine kinase AXL was a key driver of early intragraft differentiation of recipient infiltrating monocytes to inflammatory macrophages in the presence of allogeneic stimulation and cell-to-cell contact. In this context, the differentiated inflammatory macrophages were capable of efficient alloantigen presentation and allostimulation of T cells of the indirect pathway. Consequently, early and transient AXL inhibition with the pharmacological inhibitor bemcentinib resulted in a profound reduction of initial allograft inflammation and a significant prolongation of allograft survival in a murine heart transplant model. Our results support further investigation of AXL inhibition as part of an induction regimen for transplantation.

    Abstract Background: In kidney transplantation, early allograft inflammation impairs long-term allograft function. However, precise mediators of early kidney allograft inflammation are unclear, making it challenging to design therapeutic interventions.
    Methods: We used an allogeneic murine kidney transplant model in which CD45.2 BALB/c kidneys were transplanted to CD45.1 C57BL/6 recipients.
    Results: Donor kidney resident macrophages within the allograft expanded rapidly in the first 3 days. During this period, they were also induced to express a high level of
    Conclusions: Targeting the CCL8-CCR8 axis is a promising measure to reduce early kidney allograft inflammation.

    Abstract Abstract: Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a debilitating, autoimmune-like syndrome that can occur after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Constitutively activated B cells contribute to ongoing alloreactivity and autoreactivity in patients with cGVHD. Excessive tissue damage that occurs after transplantation exposes B cells to nucleic acids in the extracellular environment. Recognition of endogenous nucleic acids within B cells can promote pathogenic B-cell activation. Therefore, we hypothesized that cGVHD B cells aberrantly signal through RNA and DNA sensors such as Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and TLR9. We found that B cells from patients and mice with cGVHD had higher expression of TLR7 than non-cGVHD B cells. Using ex vivo assays, we found that B cells from patients with cGVHD also demonstrated increased interleukin-6 production after TLR7 stimulation with R848. Low-dose B-cell receptor (BCR) stimulation augmented B-cell responses to TLR7 activation. TLR7 hyperresponsiveness in cGVHD B cells correlated with increased expression and activation of the downstream transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 5. Because RNA-containing immune complexes can activate B cells through TLR7, we used a protein microarray to identify RNA-containing antigen targets of potential pathological relevance in cGVHD. We found that many of the unique targets of active cGVHD immunoglobulin G (IgG) were nucleic acid-binding proteins. This unbiased assay identified the autoantigen and known cGVHD target Ro-52, and we found that RNA was required for IgG binding to Ro-52. Herein, we find that BCR-activated B cells have aberrant TLR7 signaling responses that promote potential effector responses in cGVHD.
