Figure 6. GVL mediated by CD4+ TEMs is intact when killing by FasL, TNF, TRAIL, and perforin is individually blocked, but is reduced when killing by both FasL and perforin is prevented. B6 mice were irradiated and reconstituted with T cell–depleted B6bm12 BM, mCP-CML derived from wt, Faslpr, or TNFR1R2−/− B6 mice (A,C,D) or TRAILR−/− or TRAILR+/+ littermates (B; data from 1 of 2 similar experiments), with no T cells, CD4+ TNs, or CD4+ TEMs from wt or perforin−/− B6bm12 mice. Survival curves are plotted (A-E). The strains from which donor T cells and mCP-CML were derived are noted above each graph. When individually blocked, killing via TNFR1/R2 (A; P > .21 for recipients of wt TEMs or TNs and TNFR1R2−/− mCP-CML versus wt mCP-CML), TRAILR (B; P > .12 for recipients of wt TEMs or TNs and TRAILR−/− mCP-CML versus TRAILR+/+ mCP-CML), Fas (C; P > .63 for recipients of wt TEMs or TNs and Faslpr mCP-CML versus wt mCP-CML), or perforin (D; P > .47 for recipients of wt mCP-CML and Prf1−/− versus wt TNs or TEMs) is not required for GVL by either CD4+ TNs or TEMs. However, when killing via both perforin and Fas was prevented (E), GVL by TEMs but not TNs was diminished (P = .03 comparing recipients of CD4+ Prf1−/− TEMs and wt mCP-CML versus CD4+ Prf1−/− TEMs and Faslpr mCP-CML; P = .01 for recipients of Faslpr mCP-CML and no T cells versus Faslpr mCP-CML and CD4+ Prf1−/− TEMs; P = .71 for recipients of CD4+ Prf1−/− TNs and wt mCP-CML versus CD4+ Prf1−/− TNs and Faslpr mCP-CML). Survival plots in panels C-E are from data combined from 2 independent experiments.
