Although there is some progress in immunosuppressive therapy of acute rejection, there is still a lack of standardized diagnosis and treatment. For the acute rejection after liver transplantation, there is still a lack of an exact treatment at this stage. Tacrolimus (TAC) side effects will also affect the survival rate and quality of life of recipients after transplantation to a large extent. Rat orthotopic liver transplantation model was established and divided into three groups. In the tolerance group, Brown Norway (BN) to Lewis liver transplantation was used; in the rejection group, Lewis to BN liver transplantation was used; in the TAC group, TAC was injected after operation on the basis of establishing rejection model. The expression of GITRL in Kupffer cells and the change of cytokines were detected 7 days after operation. In this study, the animal model of acute rejection of rat liver transplantation was established to simulate the clinical allogeneic liver transplantation, and the important role of TAC in the acute rejection of rat liver transplantation was evaluated.
