The influence of cyclosporine (CsA) on the induction and pathogenesis of type II collagen-induced arthritis has been investigated in inbred and outbred Wistar rats. The proportion of animals developing disease and the severity of disease they developed were both diminished by treatment with CsA. These effects were accompanied by a marked suppression of the antibody response to both the immunizing collagen and also to rat type II collagen. CsA treatment also resulted in a decreased accumulation of lymphocytes in arthritic joints. The results indicate that the anti-arthritic and immunosuppressive effects of CsA probably result from a modification of both systemic antibody-mediated and local cell-mediated immunity.
在近交系和远交系Wistar大鼠中,研究了环孢素(CsA)对II型胶原诱导性关节炎的诱导和发病机制的影响。用CsA治疗可降低发病动物的比例及其所患疾病的严重程度。这些作用伴随着对免疫原性胶原以及大鼠II型胶原抗体反应的显著抑制。CsA治疗还导致关节炎关节中淋巴细胞的积聚减少。结果表明,CsA的抗关节炎和免疫抑制作用可能源于全身抗体介导免疫和局部细胞介导免疫的改变。
