目的应用α-胞衬蛋白(α-Fodrin)免疫BALB/C小鼠,以期建立干燥综合征的实验动物模型。方法应用α-胞衬蛋白100μg(50μl)配合等体积佐剂,于0、14、35、51d进行尾根部皮下注射给药免疫4周龄的BALB/C小鼠,以颌下腺匀浆作为阳性对照,GST及PBS作为阴性对照。小鼠每周计饮水量,每2—3周取血,检测不同时间点小鼠血清中的α-胞衬蛋白抗体、M3受体蛋白多肽(M3RP)抗体、SSA抗体、SSB抗体、类风湿因子(RF)以及抗核抗体(ANA)等自身抗体,ELISA方法测定小鼠血清中的细胞因子白介素(IL)-2,IL-10和干扰素(IFN)-1。检测小鼠颌下腺病理改变及α-胞衬蛋白的抗原表达情况。结果(1)免疫前小鼠血清中的自身抗体均为阴性,而自初次免疫后35d开始,经颌下腺匀浆及α-胞衬蛋白免疫的BALB/C小鼠出现α-胞衬蛋白抗体、M3RP抗体和ANA,而上述抗体在PBS和GST对照组为阴性。(2)自初次免疫后56d开始,予颌下腺匀浆及α-胞衬蛋白免疫的BALB/C小鼠的腺体中出现少量淋巴细胞浸润,且随时间的延长,淋巴细胞浸润逐渐加重;而应用PBS和GST免疫的小鼠腺体无明显的病理改变。应用α-胞衬蛋白多抗免疫组化的方法检测颌下腺匀浆、α-胞衬蛋白免疫的BALB/C小鼠的颌下腺组织中有α-胞衬蛋白表达,而PBS和GST组为阴性。(3)IFN-γ在予α-胞衬蛋白、颌下腺匀浆、GST及PBS免疫后分别为(81.6±7.1)、(90.5±4.9)、(30.1±5.9)、(19.3±6.4)pg/ml;IL-2在上述各组免疫后分别为(18.7±2.3)、(19.8±0.9)、(4.9±1.1)、(3.5±1.6)pg/ml,与GST及PBS组相比,Ot-胞衬蛋白及颌下腺匀浆免疫可明显提高小鼠血清IFN-1和IL-2水平(P〈0.05)。(4)α-胞衬蛋白免疫对各组小鼠饮水量无明显影响。结论(1)建立了应用α-胞衬蛋白诱导的SS动物模型。(2)免疫?
Objective To explore the possibility to establish Sjogren's syndrome models by immunizing mice with α-fodrin. Methods Twenty-four 4-week-old BALB/C mice were randomly divided into 4 equal groups to undergo subcutaneous injection of α-Fodrin, submaxillary gland homogenate and glutathione S-transferase (GST) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (negative control groups) on days 0, 14, 35, and 56 respectively. The drinking amount of water was measured. Blood samples were collected every 2-3 weeks. Munofiuorescence assays and ELISA were used to examine the presence of anti-Fodrin, anti-type 3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor polypeptide ( M3RP), anti-SSA, anti-SSB, rheumatoid factor (RF), and antinuclear antibody ( ANA). Immunocbemistry was used to detect the levels of interferon (IFN)-γ , interleukin (IL)-2, and IL-10. One mouse was killed from each group every 2-3 weeks. The salivary glands were examined. Results (1) No auto-immune antibody was found in the serum samples of the mice before immunization. Antibodies against α-Fodrin and M2RP, and ANA were positive in the serum samples of the α-Fodrin and submaxillary gland homogenate groups since the 35th day after immunization, and were all negative in the 2 control groups. However, no antibodies against SSA, SSB and RF were found in all 4 groups. (2) Lymphocytic infiltration could be seen in the salivary glands of the immunized animals since 50th days after the first immunization of α-Fodrin and submaxillary gland homogenate. Immunohistochemistry showed α-Fodrin expression in the submaxillary glands of the α-Fodrin and submaxillary gland homogenate groups, but not in the PBS and GST controls. (3) The serum IFN-α levels of the α-Fodrin and submaxillary gland homogenate groups were (81.6 ± 7.1) and (90.5 ± 4.9) pg/ml respectively, both significantly higher than those of the GST and PBS groups [ ( 30. 1 ±5.9) and ( 19. 3 ± 6.4) pg/ml respectively, both P 〈 0. 05 ]. The serum IL-2 levels of th
