To compare inflammatory peripheral arthritis in wild-type and high molecular weight kininogen (HK)-deficient rats, both on the genetically susceptible Lewis background.
By backcrossing Brown-Norway HK-deficient rats with Lewis rats for 6 generations, 2 new strains were produced, wild-type F6 and HK-deficient F6, each with a 98.5% Lewis genome. Inflammatory arthritis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-PS), and the clinical, histopathologic, and biochemical responses were compared in both strains.
Eighteen days after PG-PS injection, rats with normal concentrations of HK showed weight loss and marked increase in hind ankle diameter with severe synovial inflammation and cartilage abnormalities. In contrast, HK-deficient rats showed no weight loss (P < 0.05), no increase in hind ankle diameter (P < 0.05), and an absence of inflammatory changes (P < 0.05), as measured by the histologic and morphometric Mankin grading system for synovial and cartilage injury.
Plasma HK is a key mediator of acute and chronic inflammatory arthritis in genetically susceptible Lewis rats.
比较在基因易感的Lewis背景下野生型和高分子量激肽原(HK)缺陷型大鼠的炎性外周关节炎。
通过将Brown-Norway HK缺陷型大鼠与Lewis大鼠回交6代,培育出2个新的品系,野生型F6和HK缺陷型F6,每个品系的Lewis基因组含量均为98.5%。通过腹腔注射肽聚糖-多糖(PG-PS)诱导炎性关节炎,并比较两个品系的临床、组织病理学和生化反应。
注射PG-PS 18天后,HK浓度正常的大鼠出现体重减轻,后踝关节直径显著增加,伴有严重的滑膜炎和软骨异常。相比之下,HK缺陷型大鼠未出现体重减轻(P<0.05),后踝关节直径未增加(P<0.05),并且通过用于评估滑膜和软骨损伤的组织学和形态计量学Mankin分级系统测量,未出现炎症变化(P<0.05)。
血浆HK是基因易感的Lewis大鼠急性和慢性炎性关节炎的关键介质。
