Modeling the immune-related adverse events (irAE) colitis in mice, and explore the protective effect and related mechanism of (LGG) on irAE colitis. C57BL/6 mice were divided into dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) group (=3), DSS+anti-programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) group (=4), DSS+anti-PD-1+anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) Group (=4), DSS+anti-PD-1+anti-CTLA-4+LGG group (=4), all were given corresponding drugs and probiotics intervention. The severity of colitis were assessed by weight loss, disease activity index (DAI), colon length, colon histopathological score. The inflammatory cytokines and T cell immunity of CD4, CD8, FoxP3regulatory T cells (Treg), were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemical staining respectively. Compared to DSS group, the Day 9 weight [(87.40±1.79)% vs (94.57±0.53)%, <0.05], colon length [(5.33±0.27)cm vs (6.63±0.12)cm, <0.05] were lower, and DAI score(2.66±0.24 vs 0.89±0.48), colon histopathological score (12.50±1.04 vs 5.67±0.33), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (6.73±1.68 vs 0.91±0.40) (<0.05), as well CD8T cells (156.80±8.84 vs 89.00±6.66) and FoxP3Treg cells (103.80±2.66 vs 48.33±3.18) (<0.05) were higher in DSS+anti-PD-1+anti-CTLA-4 group. Compared to DSS+anti-PD-1+anti-CTLA-4 group, the DAI score(1.83±0.17 vs 2.66±0.24), colonic histopathology score (8.75±0.63 vs 12.50±1.04), TNF-α level (1.32±0.18 vs 6.73±1.68) (<0.05) were lower; and CD8T cells(97.75±3.75 vs 156.80±8.84, <0.01) level was lower with higher FoxP3Treg cells (126.00±8.33 vs 103.80±2.66, =0.046) in DSS+anti-PD-1+anti-CTLA-4+LGG group. DSS combined with anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 can successfully modeling the irAE colitis in mice, LGG can reduce irAE colitis severity by regulating Treg cells.
建立小鼠免疫相关不良事件(irAE)结肠炎模型,探讨鼠李糖乳杆菌(LGG)对irAE结肠炎的保护作用及相关机制。将C57BL/6小鼠分为葡聚糖硫酸钠(DSS)组(n = 3)、DSS+抗程序性死亡受体1(PD-1)组(n = 4)、DSS+抗PD-1+抗细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关蛋白4(CTLA-4)组(n = 4)、DSS+抗PD-1+抗CTLA-4+LGG组(n = 4),均给予相应药物及益生菌干预。通过体重减轻、疾病活动指数(DAI)、结肠长度、结肠组织病理学评分评估结肠炎的严重程度。分别采用实时定量逆转录-聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)和免疫组织化学染色检测炎性细胞因子以及CD4、CD8、FoxP3调节性T细胞(Treg)的T细胞免疫情况。与DSS组相比,DSS+抗PD-1+抗CTLA-4组第9天体重[(87.40±1.79)% vs (94.57±0.53)%,P<0.05]、结肠长度[(5.33±0.27)cm vs (6.63±0.12)cm,P<0.05]较低,而DAI评分(2.66±0.24 vs 0.89±0.48)、结肠组织病理学评分(12.50±1.04 vs 5.67±0.33)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)(6.73±1.68 vs 0.91±0.40)(P<0.05)以及CD8 T细胞(156.80±8.84 vs 89.00±6.66)和FoxP3 Treg细胞(103.80±2.66 vs 48.33±3.18)(P<0.05)较高。与DSS+抗PD-1+抗CTLA-4组相比,DSS+抗PD-1+抗CTLA-4+LGG组的DAI评分(1.83±0.17 vs 2.66±0.24)、结肠组织病理学评分(8.75±0.63 vs 12.50±1.04)、TNF-α水平(1.32±0.18 vs 6.73±1.68)(P<0.05)较低;CD8 T细胞水平(97.75±3.75 vs 156.80±8.84,P<0.01)较低,而FoxP3 Treg细胞较高(126.00±8.33 vs 103.80±2.66,P = 0.046)。DSS联合抗PD-1和抗CTLA-4可成功建立小鼠irAE结肠炎模型,LGG可通过调节Treg细胞减轻irAE结肠炎的严重程度。
