HLA-DRB1*0402 (DW10) transgene protects collagen-induced arthritis-susceptible H2Aq and DRB1*0401 (DW4) transgenic mice from arthritis.
To investigate the role of HLA-DR4 in predisposition to arthritis, we generated transgenic mice carrying DRB1*0401 and DRB1*0402 genes. We have previously shown that DRB1*0401 molecule renders B10.RQB3 (H2A(q)) mice susceptible to porcine and human type II collagen-induced arthritis. We report that the introduction of DRB1*0402 transgene does not lead to development of arthritis in mice when th...

BACKGROUND HLA-DRB1 0401 is associated with susceptibility, while HLA-DRB1 0402 is associated with resistance to developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and collagen-induced arthritis in humans and transgenic mice respectively. The influence of gut-joint axis has been suggested in RA, though not yet proven. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We have used HLA transgenic mice carrying arthritis suscep...
متن کاملModulation of HLA-DQ-restricted collagen-induced arthritis by HLA-DRB1 polymorphism.
Mouse class II-deficient HLA-DQB1*0302, DQA1*0301 (DQ8) transgenic mice are susceptible to severe collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), an animal model for rheumatoid arthritis. To examine whether polymorphism at the DRB1 locus can modulate DQ-restricted arthritis, we generated double-transgenic (DR/DQ) mice. HLA-DRB1*1502 (DR2) and DRB1*0301 (DR3) were introduced separately into CIA susceptible DQ...
متن کاملCigarette Smoke Induces Immune Responses to Vimentin in both, Arthritis-Susceptible and -Resistant Humanized Mice
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease marked by chronic synovial inflammation and both, genetic and environmental factors are involved in its pathogenesis. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DRB1*0401 is associated with susceptibility to develop RA, while cigarette smoke (CS) exposure promotes seropositive disease with increased severity in DRB1*0401+ individuals. Smokers have higher le...
متن کاملCross-reactivity between the rheumatoid arthritis-associated motif EQKRAA and structurally related sequences found in Proteus mirabilis.
Cross-reactivity or molecular mimicry may be one of the underlying mechanisms involved in the etiopathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Antiserum against the RA susceptibility sequence EQKRAA was shown to bind to a similar peptide ESRRAL present in the hemolysin of the gram-negative bacterium Proteus mirabilis, and an anti-ESRRAL serum reacted with EQKRAA. There was no reactivity with eith...
