The aim of ...Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components have been linked to elevated serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers such as C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor alpha. The aim of our study was to address the association between MetS components with serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels among Congolese adults. A total of 357 participants (aged 30 - 87 years) were included in this cross-sectional study. Anthropometrics were collected and fasting blood sampled for assessment of fasting blood glycaemia (FBG), lipids and inflammatory parameters using commercially available assays. NCEP-ATPIII criteria were used to define MetS. The Median (IQR) hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were higher in participants with MetS than in those without ([7 (4, 14) versus 6 (4, 8)] mg/L;p = 0.092 and [23.8 (20.9, 27.6) versus 22.3 (19.5, 25.0)] pg/mL;p = 0.002). hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in females with MetS than in those without, but not in males. Among participants, only TG was correlated with hs-CRP (r = 0.149, p = 0.007), and a significant correlation was observed between TG (r = 0.116, p = 0.037), FBG (r = 0.208, p = 0.000), HDL-C (r = −0.119, p = 0.034) and SBP (r = 0.143, p = 0.010) and IL-6. In males, hs-CRP levels were positively correlated with TG (0.316;p = 0.000), negatively with HDL-C (r = −0.290, p = 0.0022), without such correlations in females. In Ames, IL-6 levels were positively correlated with FBG (r = 0.202;p = 0.035), and negatively with HDL-C (r = −0.249, p = 0.009). Significant correlations between IL-6 levels and FBG (r = 0.214;p = 0.000) or SBP (r = 0.227, p = 0.000) were observed in females. Logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify the relationship between MetS components and hs-CRP or IL-6. Values of area under receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves suggest potential use of serum hs-CRP (AUC = 0.675) and IL-6 (AUC = 0.656) as diagnostic biomarkers of MetS. Combination of hs-CRP and IL-6 improved diagnosis accuracy, yielding a 0.698 ROC curve area. MetS components are associated with hs-CRP and IL-6 levels among adults Congolese. Combining the two biomarkers hs-CRP and IL-6 improves Mets diagnostic accuracy compared to hs-CRP or IL-6 alone.展开更多

IBD can be caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an immunoregulatory cytokine that has been identified as being involved in several diseases including IBD. Studies have shown that polymorphisms in the promoter region reduce serum levels of IL-10 and this reduction has been associated with some forms of IBD. Mouse models have shown promising results with IL-10 supplementation, as such IL-10 supplementation has been touted as being a possible alternative treatment for CD in humans. Clinical trials have shown that recombinant human IL-10 is safe and well tolerated up to a dose o 8 μg/kg. However, to date, the results of the clinica trials have been disappointing. Although CD activity was reduced as measured by the CD activity index IL-10 supplementation did not result in significantly reduced remission rates or clinical improvements when compared to placebo. This review discusses why IL-10supplementation is not effective in CD patients currently and what can be addressed to potentially make IL-10 supplementation a more viable treatment option in the future. Based on the current research we conclude that IL-10 supplementation is not a one size fits all treatment and if the correct population of patients is chosen then IL-10 supplementation could be of benefit.展开更多

The blood samples were obtained and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).RESULTS From 44 pairs of samples which divided into 44 samples as case group and 44 samples as control group showed that high level of COMP in estrogen deficiency postmenopausal women were not at risk(OR = 0.7; 95%CI: 0.261-1.751; P = 0.393) for symptomatic lumbar OA(cut-off point 0.946). Estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women with the high level of IL-6 had 2.7 times risk(OR = 2.7; 95%CI: 0.991-8.320; P = 0.033) for symptomatic lumbar OA from the low level of IL-6(cut-off point 2.264). At lower level of IL-10, there was no risk for symptomatic lumbar OA(OR = 0.6; 95%CI: 0.209-1.798; P = 0.345) than with the higher level of IL-10(cut-off point 6.049). While the high ratio of IL-6/IL-10 level in estrogen deficiency postmenopausal women gave 3.4 times risk(OR = 3.4; 95%CI: 1.204-11.787; P = 0.011)for symptomatic lumbar OA than the low ratio of IL-6/IL-10 level(cut-off point 0.364).CONCLUSION High ratio of IL-6/IL-10 plasma level was the highest risk factor for causing symptomatic lumbar OA in postmenopausal women with estrogen deficiency.展开更多

Few clinical trials have investigated the prognostic impact of these factors on long-term car- diovascular events in patients presented with chest pain. Methods A prospective study was performed on 566 patients admitted with chest pain and identified mild to moderate coronary artery lesions. 1L-10, IL-6 and IL-6/IL-10 were measured. Results A total of 511 patients com- pleted the follow-up. The median follow-up time was 74 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated a clear increase of the incidence of major adverse cardiac events during the follow-up period in patients with below-median levels of IL-10 （P = 0.006） and above-median levels of IL-6/IL-10 （P = 0.012）. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis indicated the IL-10 levels to be strong independent predictors after adjustment for underlying confounders. Conclusions Elevated IL-10 levels are associated with a more favorable long-term prognosis in patients with chest pain and mild to moderate coronary artery lesions. IL-10 could be used for early risk assessment of long-term prognosis.展开更多

METHODS: The IL-10 (-1082, rs1800896; -819, rs1800871; and-592, rs1800896) genotypes in 234 patients with advanced gastric cancer and in 243 healthy controls were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression for the associations between IL-10 genotypes and the risk of GC. The Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank testing was used to evaluate the association between genotype and survival of the patients.RESULTS: The IL-10 -1082 G allele and GCC (-1082, -819 and -592) haplotype were associated with increased gastric cancer risks (OR 1.2, 95% CI 0.6-3.2, P = 0.007, for -1082 G allele, OR = 2.3, 95% CI, 1.2-4.1, P = 0.005, for GCC haplotype, respectively). However, none of the three IL-10 gene polymorphisms (-1082, -819 and -592) was correlated with gastric cancer survival (P > 0.05), and none of the genotypes of the three IL-10 sites was found as independent prognostic risk factors in the multivariate test. CONCLUSION: IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms may not be associated with the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer.展开更多

METHODS： Hepatic fibrosis was induced by carbon tetrachloride administered （CCh） intraperitoneally. The experiment was performed in two stages. In the first stage, 60 SD rats were divided randomly into normal control group I（GNI, n = 8）, hepatic fibrosis group（GC, n = 28）and IL-10 intervened group（GI, n = 24）. At the beginning of the 7^th and 11^th wk, hepatic stellate cells （HSCs） were isolated, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reation （RT-PCR） and immunocytochemistry were performed to detect the expression of TGF-β1 in HSCs. Histological examination was used to determine the degree of hepatic fibrosis. In the second stage, 47 SD rats were divided randomly into normal control group 2 （GN2, n = 6）and CCh group（GZ, n = 41）. At the end of the 9th week, rats in GZ group were allocated randomly into model group（GM, n = 9）, IL-10 treatment group（GT, n = 9） and recovered group （GR, n = 9）. At the end of the 12^th week, all rats were sacrificed. RT-PCR and immuno- histochemistry were performed to detect the expression of TGF-β1 in liver tissue. ELISA was used to assay serum TGF-β1 levels. RESULTS： Hepatic fibrosis developed in rats with the increase of the injection frequency of CCI4. In the first stage, hepatic fibrosis developed and HSCs were isolated successfully. At the 7^th and 11^th week, TGF-β1 mRNA in GC group increased significantly compared with that in GN1（P = 0.001/0.042） and GI groups（P = 0.001/0.007）, whereas there was no significant difference between the two groups. The levels of TGF-β1 at the beginning of the 7^th wk was higher than that of the 11^th wk （P = 0.049）.Immunocytochemistry results of TGF-β1 were consistent with the above findings. In the second stage, TGF-β1 increased significantly in GM group compared to GN2. Alter treatment with IL-10, TGF-β1 declined obviously. The expression of TGF-β1 decreased in GR group but was still higher than that in GT group. CONCLUSION： The levels of TGF-β1 are increased in hepatic fibrosis rats and decreased alter treatment with exogenous IL-10. IL-10 may play an anti-fibrotic role by suppressing TGF-β1 expression.展开更多

文摘The metabolic reprogramming underlying the generation of regulatory B cells during infectious diseases remains unknown.Using a Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced pneumonia model,we reported that IL-10-producing B cells(IL-10+B cells)play a key role in spontaneously resolving infection-mediated inflammation.Accumulated cytosolic reactive oxygen species(ROS)during inflammation were shown to drive IL-10+B-cell generation by remodeling one-carbon metabolism.Depletion of the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase 1(Shmt1)led to inadequate one-carbon metabolism and decreased IL-10+B-cell production.Furthermore,increased one-carbon flux elevated the levels of the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine(SAM),altering histone H3 lysine 4 methylation(H3K4me)at the Il10 gene to promote chromatin accessibility and upregulate Il10 expression in B cells.Therefore,the one-carbon metabolism-associated compound ethacrynic acid(EA)was screened and found to potentially treat infectious pneumonia by boosting IL-10+B-cell generation.Overall,these findings reveal that ROS serve as modulators to resolve inflammation by reprogramming one-carbon metabolism pathways in B cells.

文摘BACKGROUND Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects B lymphocytes.It can develop in the lymph nodes and can be localized or generalized.Despite DLBCL being considered potentially curable,little research has been conducted on the relationship between the body's immune response and DLBCL.AIM To study the expression and significance of T-regulatory cells(Tregs)interleukin(IL)-35,IL-10,and transforming growth factor-beta(TGF-β)in DLBCL.METHODS Data from 82 patients with DLBCL who were initially admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University(Zhejiang Province,China)between January 2017 and June 2022 and treated with standard first-line regimens were reviewed.Three patients were lost to follow-up;thus,79 patients were included in the statistical analysis and then divided into three groups according to the evaluation of clinical efficacy:Incipient(new-onset and treatment-naïve),effectively treated,and relapsed-refractory.Thirty healthy individuals were included in the control group.The expression of peripheral blood T lymphocytes and their associated factors IL-35,IL-10,and TGF-βin the four groups were observed.RESULTS In contrast to the successfully treated and normal control groups,both the incipient and relapse-refractory groups exhibited greater proportions of CD4-positive(+)Tregs(P<0.05),whereas the proportion of CD8+Tregs did not differ substantially between the groups.Serum levels of IL-35 and IL-10 in the incipient and relapsed-refractory groups were higher than those in the effectively treated and normal control groups(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant distinction in the expression level of TGF-βbetween the groups(P>0.05).The correlation between IL-35 and IL-10 concentrations was significantly positive,with a correlation coefficient of 0.531(P<0.05).The correlation between IL-35 and TGF-βconcentration was significantly positive,with a correlation coefficient of 0.375(P<0.05).The correlation between IL-10 and TGF-βconcentration was significantly positive,with a correlation coefficient of 0.185(P<0.05).The expression concentrations of IL-35,IL-10 and TGF-βwere apparently and positively correlated(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Tregs IL-35,and IL-10 may be closely associated with the occurrence and development of DLBCL and the detection of related indices may be helpful in the analysis of disease prognosis.
文摘Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components have been linked to elevated serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers such as C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor alpha. The aim of our study was to address the association between MetS components with serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels among Congolese adults. A total of 357 participants (aged 30 - 87 years) were included in this cross-sectional study. Anthropometrics were collected and fasting blood sampled for assessment of fasting blood glycaemia (FBG), lipids and inflammatory parameters using commercially available assays. NCEP-ATPIII criteria were used to define MetS. The Median (IQR) hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were higher in participants with MetS than in those without ([7 (4, 14) versus 6 (4, 8)] mg/L;p = 0.092 and [23.8 (20.9, 27.6) versus 22.3 (19.5, 25.0)] pg/mL;p = 0.002). hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in females with MetS than in those without, but not in males. Among participants, only TG was correlated with hs-CRP (r = 0.149, p = 0.007), and a significant correlation was observed between TG (r = 0.116, p = 0.037), FBG (r = 0.208, p = 0.000), HDL-C (r = −0.119, p = 0.034) and SBP (r = 0.143, p = 0.010) and IL-6. In males, hs-CRP levels were positively correlated with TG (0.316;p = 0.000), negatively with HDL-C (r = −0.290, p = 0.0022), without such correlations in females. In Ames, IL-6 levels were positively correlated with FBG (r = 0.202;p = 0.035), and negatively with HDL-C (r = −0.249, p = 0.009). Significant correlations between IL-6 levels and FBG (r = 0.214;p = 0.000) or SBP (r = 0.227, p = 0.000) were observed in females. Logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify the relationship between MetS components and hs-CRP or IL-6. Values of area under receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves suggest potential use of serum hs-CRP (AUC = 0.675) and IL-6 (AUC = 0.656) as diagnostic biomarkers of MetS. Combination of hs-CRP and IL-6 improved diagnosis accuracy, yielding a 0.698 ROC curve area. MetS components are associated with hs-CRP and IL-6 levels among adults Congolese. Combining the two biomarkers hs-CRP and IL-6 improves Mets diagnostic accuracy compared to hs-CRP or IL-6 alone.
文摘Cardiovascular complications of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)threaten the health and life of numerous individuals.Recently,growth factor receptor-binding protein 10(GRB10)was found to play a pivotal role in vascular complications of T2DM,which participates in the regulation of lipid metabolism of T2DM patients.The genetic variation of GRB10 rs1800504 is closely related to the risk of coronary heart disease in patients with T2DM.The development of GRB10 as a key mediator in the association of lipid metabolism with cardiovascular complications in T2DM is detailed in and may provide new potential concerns for the study of cardiovascular complications in T2DM patients.
文摘Objective: To investigate the roles of interleukin-2(IL-2) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in pathogenesis ofearly syphilis. Methods: The serum levels of IL-2 and IL-10 in 48patients with early syphilis were detected by ABC-ELISA. Results: (1) The level of IL-2 in the patients withearly syphilis was significantly higher than that inhealthy controls, while that of IL-10 was lower(P<0.001 and P<0.001). (2) The levels of IL-2 and IL-10 were almost identical in patients with primary andsecondary syphilis (P>0.05), as well as between dif-ferent RPR titers (P>0.05). (3) After therapy, the levelof IL-2 decreased markedly (P<0.05), while that of IL-10 increase (p>0.05). (4) A significant correlation wasfound between the serum levels of IL-2 and IL-10 (r=0.5385 P<0.05). Conclusions: Th1 up-regulation occurs in patientswith early syphilis, and plays an active role in fightingagainst TP infection.

文摘Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis are chronic intestina disorders, which are on the increase in "Westernised" countries. IBD can be caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an immunoregulatory cytokine that has been identified as being involved in several diseases including IBD. Studies have shown that polymorphisms in the promoter region reduce serum levels of IL-10 and this reduction has been associated with some forms of IBD. Mouse models have shown promising results with IL-10 supplementation, as such IL-10 supplementation has been touted as being a possible alternative treatment for CD in humans. Clinical trials have shown that recombinant human IL-10 is safe and well tolerated up to a dose o 8 μg/kg. However, to date, the results of the clinica trials have been disappointing. Although CD activity was reduced as measured by the CD activity index IL-10 supplementation did not result in significantly reduced remission rates or clinical improvements when compared to placebo. This review discusses why IL-10supplementation is not effective in CD patients currently and what can be addressed to potentially make IL-10 supplementation a more viable treatment option in the future. Based on the current research we conclude that IL-10 supplementation is not a one size fits all treatment and if the correct population of patients is chosen then IL-10 supplementation could be of benefit.
文摘AIM To determine the role of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein(COMP), interleukin(IL)-6, IL-10 and ratio of IL-6/IL-10 as risk factors of symptomatic lumbar osteoarthritis(OA) in postmenopausal women with estrogen deficiency.METHODS Case-control study had been conducted in Sanglah General Hospital from October 2015 until March 2016. The blood samples were obtained and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).RESULTS From 44 pairs of samples which divided into 44 samples as case group and 44 samples as control group showed that high level of COMP in estrogen deficiency postmenopausal women were not at risk(OR = 0.7; 95%CI: 0.261-1.751; P = 0.393) for symptomatic lumbar OA(cut-off point 0.946). Estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women with the high level of IL-6 had 2.7 times risk(OR = 2.7; 95%CI: 0.991-8.320; P = 0.033) for symptomatic lumbar OA from the low level of IL-6(cut-off point 2.264). At lower level of IL-10, there was no risk for symptomatic lumbar OA(OR = 0.6; 95%CI: 0.209-1.798; P = 0.345) than with the higher level of IL-10(cut-off point 6.049). While the high ratio of IL-6/IL-10 level in estrogen deficiency postmenopausal women gave 3.4 times risk(OR = 3.4; 95%CI: 1.204-11.787; P = 0.011)for symptomatic lumbar OA than the low ratio of IL-6/IL-10 level(cut-off point 0.364).CONCLUSION High ratio of IL-6/IL-10 plasma level was the highest risk factor for causing symptomatic lumbar OA in postmenopausal women with estrogen deficiency.
文摘Background Interleukin （IL）-10, IL-6 and their ratio （IL-6/IL-10） play an important role in the risk of developing coronary artery disease, and may correlate with its outcomes. Few clinical trials have investigated the prognostic impact of these factors on long-term car- diovascular events in patients presented with chest pain. Methods A prospective study was performed on 566 patients admitted with chest pain and identified mild to moderate coronary artery lesions. 1L-10, IL-6 and IL-6/IL-10 were measured. Results A total of 511 patients com- pleted the follow-up. The median follow-up time was 74 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated a clear increase of the incidence of major adverse cardiac events during the follow-up period in patients with below-median levels of IL-10 （P = 0.006） and above-median levels of IL-6/IL-10 （P = 0.012）. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis indicated the IL-10 levels to be strong independent predictors after adjustment for underlying confounders. Conclusions Elevated IL-10 levels are associated with a more favorable long-term prognosis in patients with chest pain and mild to moderate coronary artery lesions. IL-10 could be used for early risk assessment of long-term prognosis.

文摘AIM:To clarify the current understanding of the association between interleukin-10(IL-10)polymorphisms and the risk of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).METHODS:We searched for studies in any language recorded in PubMed,Embase and Cochrane library before August 2013.The associations under allele contrast model,codominant model,dominant model,and recessive model were analyzed.The strengths of the association between IL-10 polymorphisms and IBS risk were estimated using odds ratios(OR)with 95%confidence interval(CI).Fixed effects model was used to pool the result if the test of heterogeneity was not significant,otherwise the random-effect model was selected.RESULTS:Eight case-control studies analyzing three single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs1800870(-1082 A/G),rs1800871(-819C/T),and rs1800872(-592A/C)of the IL-10 gene,which involved 928 cases and 1363 controls,were eligible for our analysis.The results showed that rs1800870 polymorphisms were associated with a decreased risk of IBS(GG+GA vs AA:OR=0.80,95%CI:0.66-0.96),(AA+GA vs GG:OR=0.68,95%CI:0.52-0.90).Subgroup analysis revealed such association only existed in Caucasian ethnicity(AA+GA vs GG,OR=0.70,95%CI:0.55-0.89).The rs1800872 polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of IBS in Asian ethnicity(CC vs GG:OR=1.29,95%CI:1.01-1.16).There were no associations between rs1800871 polymorphisms and the IBS risk.CONCLUSION:The results suggest that IL-10 rs1800870confers susceptibility to the risk of IBS in Caucasian ethnicity,and the rs1800872 may associate with IBS risk in Asians.However,no significant associations are found between rs1800871 and IBS risk.

文摘AIM: To evaluate the association between of the interleukin-10 (IL-10) promoter polymorphisms and survival of advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients. METHODS: The IL-10 (-1082, rs1800896; -819, rs1800871; and-592, rs1800896) genotypes in 234 patients with advanced gastric cancer and in 243 healthy controls were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression for the associations between IL-10 genotypes and the risk of GC. The Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank testing was used to evaluate the association between genotype and survival of the patients.RESULTS: The IL-10 -1082 G allele and GCC (-1082, -819 and -592) haplotype were associated with increased gastric cancer risks (OR 1.2, 95% CI 0.6-3.2, P = 0.007, for -1082 G allele, OR = 2.3, 95% CI, 1.2-4.1, P = 0.005, for GCC haplotype, respectively). However, none of the three IL-10 gene polymorphisms (-1082, -819 and -592) was correlated with gastric cancer survival (P > 0.05), and none of the genotypes of the three IL-10 sites was found as independent prognostic risk factors in the multivariate test. CONCLUSION: IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms may not be associated with the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer.

文摘AIM： To study the effect of interleukin-10 （IL-10） on the expression of transforming growth factor β1 （TGF-β1） in hepatic fibrosis rats and the anti-fibrotic role of exogenous IL-10. METHODS： Hepatic fibrosis was induced by carbon tetrachloride administered （CCh） intraperitoneally. The experiment was performed in two stages. In the first stage, 60 SD rats were divided randomly into normal control group I（GNI, n = 8）, hepatic fibrosis group（GC, n = 28）and IL-10 intervened group（GI, n = 24）. At the beginning of the 7^th and 11^th wk, hepatic stellate cells （HSCs） were isolated, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reation （RT-PCR） and immunocytochemistry were performed to detect the expression of TGF-β1 in HSCs. Histological examination was used to determine the degree of hepatic fibrosis. In the second stage, 47 SD rats were divided randomly into normal control group 2 （GN2, n = 6）and CCh group（GZ, n = 41）. At the end of the 9th week, rats in GZ group were allocated randomly into model group（GM, n = 9）, IL-10 treatment group（GT, n = 9） and recovered group （GR, n = 9）. At the end of the 12^th week, all rats were sacrificed. RT-PCR and immuno- histochemistry were performed to detect the expression of TGF-β1 in liver tissue. ELISA was used to assay serum TGF-β1 levels. RESULTS： Hepatic fibrosis developed in rats with the increase of the injection frequency of CCI4. In the first stage, hepatic fibrosis developed and HSCs were isolated successfully. At the 7^th and 11^th week, TGF-β1 mRNA in GC group increased significantly compared with that in GN1（P = 0.001/0.042） and GI groups（P = 0.001/0.007）, whereas there was no significant difference between the two groups. The levels of TGF-β1 at the beginning of the 7^th wk was higher than that of the 11^th wk （P = 0.049）.Immunocytochemistry results of TGF-β1 were consistent with the above findings. In the second stage, TGF-β1 increased significantly in GM group compared to GN2. Alter treatment with IL-10, TGF-β1 declined obviously. The expression of TGF-β1 decreased in GR group but was still higher than that in GT group. CONCLUSION： The levels of TGF-β1 are increased in hepatic fibrosis rats and decreased alter treatment with exogenous IL-10. IL-10 may play an anti-fibrotic role by suppressing TGF-β1 expression.

文摘AIM:To investigate the effects of restraint stress on chronic colitis in interleukin(IL)-10 deficient(IL-10^(-/-))mice.METHODS:The first experiment compared the effect of restraint stress on the development of intestinal inflammation in wild-type and IL-10^(-/-) mice.Both wildtype and IL-10^(-/-) mice were physically restrained in a well-ventilated,50 cm3 conical polypropylene tube for2 h per day for three consecutive days.The second experiment was performed to assess the effect of restraint stress on exacerbation of colitis induced by piroxicam in IL-10^(-/-) mice.The IL-10^(-/-) mice were exposed to restraint stress for 2 h per day for 3consecutive days,and then treated with piroxicam for4 d at a dose of 200 ppm administered in the rodent chow.RESULTS:In the first experiment,none of the wildtype mice with or without restraint stress showed clinical and histopathological abnormality in the gut.However,IL-10^(-/-) mice exposed to restraint stress exhibited histologically significant intestinal inflammation as compared to those without restraint stress.In the second experiment,restraint stress significantly reduced body weight and increased the severity of intestinal inflammation assessed by histopathologic grading in IL-10^(-/-) mice.Colonic IL12p40 mRNA expression was strongly increased in mice exposed to restraint stress.CONCLUSION:This novel animal model could be useful in future study of psychological stress in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.
