Ocular inflammation in autoimmune MRL/Mp mice.
Congenic mice of the MRL/Mp strain spontaneously develop an autoimmune connective tissue disease that shares immunologic and histopathologic features with the human disorders systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic vasculitis. The autoimmune disorder in these mice is markedly accelerated by the recessive gene lpr. Older MRL/Mp-lpr/lpr mice develop significant inflammato...
متن کاملMicrobial products trigger autoimmune ocular inflammation.
PURPOSE Microbial products stimulate the immune system by interacting with Toll-like receptors (TLR) on antigen-presenting cells. This study examined the hypothesis that microbial products, which function as TLR ligands, are playing a major role in triggering pathogenic autoimmunity. METHODS An experimental system was developed in which microbial TLR ligands were tested in vivo for their capa...
متن کاملCD74 deficiency ameliorates Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced ocular infection
Eye trauma and contact lens wear are the main factors that predispose to the development of infectious keratitis. The existing therapies fail to control the inflammation-driven tissue damage that occurs during Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Antibiotic treatment reduces bacterial burdens, but better interventions are needed to alleviate tissue damage resulting from local inflammation. We have...
متن کاملmiR-155 Deficiency Ameliorates Autoimmune Inflammation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus by Targeting S1pr1 in Faslpr/lpr Mice.
MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) was previously found involved in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases and the inflammatory response; however, the detailed mechanism of miR-155 in SLE is not fully understood. To explore the in vivo role of miR-155 in the pathogenesis of SLE, miR-155-deficient Fas(lpr/lpr) (miR-155(-/-)Fas(lpr/lpr)) mice were obtained by cros...
متن کاملJanus-like opposing roles of CD47 in autoimmune brain inflammation in humans and mice
Comparison of transcriptomic and proteomic data from pathologically similar multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions reveals down-regulation of CD47 at the messenger RNA level and low abundance at the protein level. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrate that CD47 is expressed in normal myelin and in foamy macrophages and reactive astrocytes within active MS lesions. We demonstrate that CD47(-/-) mice ...
