Preeclampsia (PE) is associated with inflammation and decreased Treg cells and IL-10. The reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) rat model of PE exhibits these characteristics, and we hypothesized that induction of endogenous Tregs by a specific stimulus (CD28 superagonistic monoclonal antibody) would reduce inflammation, vasoactive factors, and hypertension in RUPP rats.
RUPP was performed at gestation day (GD) 14; CD28 superagonist was administered intraperitoneally GD15; GD18 carotid catheters were inserted, and GD19 MAP and pup weight, blood, and tissues were collected.
MAP (mmHg) in NP rats was 99±5 and 122±2 in RUPPs and was 111±1 mmHg in RUPP+SA. Circulating Tregs were 6±2% in NP rats and 0.77±0.49% in RUPP rats but increased to 11± 3% in RUPP+SA rats. Circulating IL-6 and IL-2 were decreased while IL-10 and TGF-B were significantly increased in RUPP+SA compared to RUPP controls. Vasoactive pathways such as ET-1, AT1-AA, and ROS were all reduced in RUPP+SA compared to RUPP. Pup weight was 2.4±0.05 mg in NP and 1.94±0.062 mg in RUPP and increased to 2.1± 0.05 mg in RUPP+SA.
These data suggest that stimulating endogenous Tregs lower factors causing hypertension and can improve fetal weight in response to PE.
子痫前期(PE)与炎症和调节性 T 细胞(Treg)和白细胞介素-10(IL-10)减少有关。PE 的 RUPP 大鼠模型表现出这些特征,我们假设通过特定刺激(CD28 超激动性单克隆抗体)诱导内源性 Treg 会减少 RUPP 大鼠的炎症、血管活性因子和高血压。
在妊娠第 14 天(GD)进行 RUPP;在 GD15 时腹腔内给予 CD28 超激动剂;GD18 插入颈动脉导管,GD19 测量 MAP 和仔鼠体重、采集血液和组织。
NP 大鼠的 MAP(mmHg)为 99±5 和 122±2,RUPP 大鼠为 111±1mmHg,RUPP+SA 大鼠为 111±1mmHg。循环 Treg 为 NP 大鼠的 6±2%和 RUPP 大鼠的 0.77±0.49%,但在 RUPP+SA 大鼠中增加到 11±3%。与 RUPP 对照组相比,RUPP+SA 大鼠的循环 IL-6 和 IL-2 降低,IL-10 和 TGF-B 显著增加。与 RUPP 相比,RUPP+SA 大鼠的血管活性途径如 ET-1、AT1-AA 和 ROS 均降低。NP 大鼠的仔鼠体重为 2.4±0.05mg,RUPP 大鼠为 1.94±0.062mg,RUPP+SA 大鼠增加到 2.1±0.05mg。
这些数据表明,刺激内源性 Treg 可降低导致高血压的因素,并可改善 PE 胎儿的体重。
