چکیده
Recombinant human interleukin (IL)-11 is a pleiotropic cytokine with anti-inflammatory activity. The objective of the study was to investigate whether oral treatment with rhIL-11 improves colonic epithelial dysfunction in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 transgenic rat model of spontaneous chronic inflammation. Experiments were performed using adult male HLAB27 rats, whereas healthy nontransgenic F344 rats served as controls. Enteric-coated rhIL-11 multi-particles (equivalent to 500 microg/kg rhIL11) or placebo (formulation lacking rhIL-11) were administrated orally on alternate days for 2 weeks to HLA-B27 or F344 rats. Stool character was observed daily during the treatment period. Animals were euthanized at the end of treatment and colonic inflammation was evaluated be measuring tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Epithelial transport in isolated colonic mucosal sheets was studied in modified Ussing chambers. Oral treatment of HLA-B27 rats with rhIL-11 reduced MPO activity in the colon and suppressed the clinical signs of diarrhea. The electrophysiological characteristics of mucosal transport were improved in the HLA-B27 rats treated with rhIL-11 compared with placebo. After rhIL-11 treatment the basal transepithelial resistance and the estimated paracellular resistance were significantly increased, neurally mediated secretory responses to electrical field stimulation were improved, and cholinoceptor sensitivity was normalized. Treatment with rhIL-11 had no significant effect on basal short circuit current and the maximal secretory response to carbachol or substance P. Our data demonstrate that oral rhIL-11 therapy is associated with suppression of mucosal inflammation and a concomitant improvement of epithelial resistance and neurally mediated secretion in a model of chronic HLA-B27 colitis.

Recombinant human interleukin-11 restores smooth muscle function in the jejunum and colon of human leukocyte antigen-B27 rats with intestinal inflammation.
Recombinant human interleukin (rhIL)-11 has anti-inflammatory and protective effects in models of intestinal mucosal injury. Our aim was to investigate whether oral treatment with rhIL-11 reverses functional abnormalities in intestinal muscle contractility resulting from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27-dependent gut inflammation. Isometric contractions were studied in jejunal and colonic long...

Background: Spondyloarthropathies are a group of closely related inflammatory arthritis which involve the axial skeleton and are negative for rheumatoid factor. Objective: This case-control study was conducted to examine HLA- B27 positivity in patients with seronegative spondyloarthritis (SSA) as per ESSG criteria and compare the frequency with healthy controls because a lower positivity is rep...

HLA-B27 transgenic rats are a model of spontaneous gastrointestinal inflammation associated with expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27 and beta(2)-microglobulin. Our goal was to investigate in vitro enteric nerve regulation and contractile activity in isolated longitudinal muscles from the jejunum and colon of HLA-B27 rats. Nontransgenic age-matched Fisher 344 rats were used as contro...

Human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen B27 is highly associated with the rheumatic diseases termed spondyloarthropathies, but the mechanism is not known. B27 transgenic rats develop a spontaneous disease resembling the human spondyloarthropathies that includes arthritis and colitis. To investigate whether this disease requires the binding of specific peptides to B27, we made a minigene cons...
