Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by abnormalities in T cell immunoregulation and hyperreactivity of B cells, leading to autoantibody production and multiorgan injuries. We investigated the effect of baicalin on aberrant immunoregulation in pristane-induced lupus mice. Mice received i.p. a single injection of 0.5 ml of pristane or PBS, and approximately 3 months later, were used as a pristane-induced lupus model or healthy controls…

Regulatory Effect of Scutellariae Radix on the Proinflammatory Cytokine Production and Abnormal T-Cell Activation in Vitro in Pristane-Induced Lupus Mice

Findings indicate that SBMeOH may ameliorate lupus pathogenic inflammation and autoimmunity via downregulation of proinflammatory cytokine production and abnormal activation of T cells.

Immunoregulatory abnormalities of T cells and hyperreactivity of B cells in theIn Vitro immune response in pristane-induced lupus mice

Analysis of mitogen-stimulated production of proinflammatory cytokines, cell proliferation, T cell activation, and T cell apoptosis in vitro in pristane-induced lupus BALB/c mice indicates that immunoregulatory abnormalities of T cells and hyperreactivity of B cells in the in vitro immune responses in pristsine-inducedlupus mice may explain some of lupu pathogenesis.

Prostaglandin E2-mediated dysregulation of proinflammatory cytokine production in pristane-induced lupus mice

The findings suggest that endogenous PGE2 may mediate dysregulation of production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-γ, and NO in pristane-induced lupus mice.

Induction of lupus-associated autoantibodies in BALB/c mice by intraperitoneal injection of pristane

It is reported here that the production of autoantibodies characteristic of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a further consequence of injecting pristane in BALB/c mice, which may be relevant to understanding the role of abnormal cytokine production inautoantibody production and the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease.

Interleukin 6 Dependence of Anti-DNA Antibody Production: Evidence for Two Pathways of Autoantibody Formation in Pristane-induced Lupus

The results suggest that IgG anti-DNA and chromatin antibodies in pristane-treated mice are strictly IL-6 dependent, whereas induction of anti-nRNP/Sm and Su autoantibodies is IL- 6 independent.

IFN-γ Receptor Deletion Prevents Autoantibody Production and Glomerulonephritis in Lupus-Prone (NZB × NZW)F1 Mice

The absence of glomerulonephritis in BWγR−/− mice is likely due to a dramatic yet unexplained effect of the inactivation of IFN-γ signaling on autoAb production.

Activation of natural killer T cells in NZB/W mice induces Th1-type immune responses exacerbating lupus.

In vivo treatment of mice with the natural killer T (NKT) cell ligand, alpha-galactosylceramide (alphaGalCer), ameliorates autoimmune diabetes and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) by…

Pristane‐induced arthritis is CD4+ T‐cell dependent

It is demonstrated that PIA is CD4+ T‐cell mediated, and immunodominant environmental antigens such as hsp 65 activate this population of lymphocytes, which may be pathogenic or protective in PIA.

Interferon-gamma is required for lupus-like disease and lymphoaccumulation in MRL-lpr mice.

The data indicate that IFN-gamma hyperproduction is required for lupus development, presumably by increasing MHC expression and autoantigen presentation to otherwise quiescent nontolerant anti-self T cells, and also by promoting local immune and inflammatory processes.

Baicalin has protective effects against EAE in rats and can promote the apoptosis of inflammatory cells in spinal cords.
