Abstract

IL-2 induces regulatory T cells (Tregs) and reduces disease severity, such as in graft-versus-host disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. To investigate the regulatory network of IL-2 in rheumatoid arthritis, we examined the effects of IL-2-anti-IL-2 mAb immune complexes (IL-2ICs) in a rheumatoid arthritis model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). CIA was induced in male DBA/1 mice by two immunizations with type II collagen at 3-wk intervals. IL-2ICs were prepared by mixing 5 μg of an anti-IL-2 mAb (clone JES6-1D) with 1 μg of mouse IL-2 and were injected i.p. every day for 3 d. Mouse paws were scored for arthritis using a macroscopic scoring system. Th1, Th2, Th17, and Tregs were analyzed by flow cytometry. Joint histopathology was examined by H&E and immunohistochemical staining. Treg functions were examined by studying in vitro suppression using flow cytometry. IL-2IC administration effectively elicited a 1.6-fold expansion of CD4+Foxp3+ Tregs in peripheral blood cells relative to that found in control mice. IL-2IC treatment significantly inhibited arthritis in CIA mice. Histopathological examination of joints revealed inhibited synovial cell proliferation and IL-17, IL-6, and TNF-α levels but increased Foxp3+ Tregs afte...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
