Interleukin-6 receptor blockade suppresses subretinal fibrosis in a mouse model.

AIM To determine the involvement of the interleukin (IL)-6 with the development of experimental subretinal fibrosis in a mouse model. METHODS Subretinal fibrosis was induced by subretinal injection of macrophage-rich peritoneal exudate cells and the local expression of IL-6 was assessed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immuno...

Interleukin‐6 receptor alpha blockade improves skin lesions in a murine model of systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease, characterized by antinuclear autoantibodies (ANA) and immunocomplexes, commonly affecting kidneys, skin, heart, lung or even the brain. We have shown that JunB(Δep) mice develop a SLE phenotype linked to increased epidermal Interleukin (IL)-6 secretion. Blocking of IL-6 receptor alpha (IL-6Rα) is considered as therapeutic strategy for...

UVA1 irradiation inhibits fibroblast proliferation and alleviates pathological changes of scleroderma in a mouse model

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of different doses of ultraviolet radiation A1 (UVA1) on human fibroblast proliferation and collagen level in a mouse model of scleroderma, so as to identify appropriate irradiation doses for clinical treatment of scleroderma. Monolayer from human fibroblasts was cultured in vitro, and a mouse model of scleroderma was established by su...

Cholinergic neuropathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

Transgenic mice over-expressing mutant human amyloid precursor protein (PDAPP mouse) develop several Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-like lesions including an age-related accumulation of amyloid-?-containing neuritic plaques. Although aged, heterozygous PDAPP mice also exhibit synaptic and glial cell changes, that is characteristic of AD pathology, no evidence of neurodegeneration has been observed. T...
