Abstract

Leptin-deficient (ob/ob) mice are resistant in different models of autoimmunity and inflammation, suggesting that leptin regulates immunity and inflammation. To investigate whether leptin deficiency modulates the spontaneous intestinal inflammation observed in interleukin (IL)-10-deficient mice, double IL-10- and leptin-deficient [IL-10 knockout (KO) ob/ob] mice were generated and compared with single IL-10 KO mice for colitis severity. Body weight in IL-10 KO ob/ob mice was significantly reduced compared with that of ob/ob mice. However, when compared with wild-type or IL-10 KO mice, IL-10 KO ob/ob mice were still markedly obese. IL-10 KO and IL-10 KO ob/ob mice developed colitis with a comparable time-course and severity in terms of macroscopic and histologic scores. Likewise, production of interferon-gamma, IL-6, and IL-13 from colon cultures and splenocytes did not differ among these two groups. Conversely, rates of apoptosis were higher in lamina propria lymphocytes obtained from the colon of IL-10 KO ob/ob compared with IL-10 KO mice. In conclusion, although leptin deficiency has been associated with resistance in models of autoimmunity and inflammation induced by exogenous stimuli, leptin appears not to play a significan...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
