The recently identified Fas antigen (Ag) is a cell surface molecule that can mediate apoptosis. The cytoplasmic product of proto-oncogene bcl-2 has been shown to prolong the cellular survival by inhibiting apoptosis. To elucidate the physiologic significance of expression of both molecules, we examined the expression of Fas Ag and bcl-2 on blood leukocyte populations and evaluated their sensitivity to the cytolytic action of anti-Fas antibody. Although Fas Ag was expressed on a fraction of lymphocytes, both neutrophils and monocytes expressed Fas Ag constitutively. In contrast, there was marked difference among these leukocytes regarding bcl-2 expression. Lymphocytes expressed bcl-2 intensely, but monocytes showed weaker bcl-2 expression, and neutrophils were essentially absent for bcl-2 expression. Seemingly reflecting this lack of bcl-2-expression, neutrophils more easily underwent apoptotic cell death in vitro as compared with monocytes and lymphocytes. We showed that anti-Fas antibody affectively accelerated apoptotic cell death in neutrophils. However, the apoptosis-inducing effect of anti-Fas antibody was minimal on monocytes, and lymphocytes were resistant to this antibody. These results suggest that anti-Fas- mediated cell death may, in part, be determined by bcl-2 expression status in Fas+ lymphoid and hematopoietic cells.

Kidney Allotransplantation

SummaryUsing a canine model, leukocyte populations enriched for monocytes and lymphocytes were isolated from blood during three week periods after kidney allotransplantation corresponding to episodes of acute rejection. Relative to controls, these cells incubated in vitro for five hours were found to generate increased amounts of PCA (procoagulant activity) characterized as tissue factor, the extrinsic clotting pathway activator. Controls included comparable blood leukocyte populations isolated from kidney autograft recipients and healthy animals. Differences in results for these two control groups were insignificant. These contrasts observed between allografted animals and controls demonstrate that leukocyte PCA generation is stimulated by the allogeneicity of histoincompatible kidneys rather than by direct effects of organ transplantation or non-specific postoperative effects. Results of in vitro transfer experiments provide evidence that cellular stimulation or induction in vivo accounted for the PCA increases observed. Stimulation of leukocyte tissue factor generation as a consequence of allogeneic kidney transplantation may in part acccount for coagulopathies and fibrin deposition during kidney rejection.
