چکیده
Recombinant human interleukin (rhIL)-11 has anti-inflammatory and protective effects in models of intestinal mucosal injury. Our aim was to investigate whether oral treatment with rhIL-11 reverses functional abnormalities in intestinal muscle contractility resulting from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27-dependent gut inflammation. Isometric contractions were studied in jejunal and colonic longitudinal muscles. Muscle strips were isolated from HLA-B27 transgenic rats with spontaneous inflammation following treatment with enteric-coated rhIL-11 multiparticulates (500 microg/kg) or placebo multiparticulates given orally every 48 h for 2 weeks. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured in intestinal tissue samples and served as an index of inflammation. Colonic damage was also assessed histologically. The HLA-B27 rats receiving placebo had chronic diarrhea, and MPO activity was increased in the jejunum and colon. Intestinal inflammation was associated with a decreased ability of the muscles to generate active tension in response to electrical field stimulation, carbachol, or high KCl. In the jejunum of placebo-treated HLA-B27 rats, concentration-effect curves for carbachol were shifted to lower concentrations yielding a higher EC50. Oral treatment of HLA-B27 rats with rhIL-11 suppressed the symptoms of diarrhea, normalized MPO activity, and improved the colonic damage score. Simultaneously, neurally mediated responses were improved and the maximal tension generated by carbachol or KCl was normalized in the jejunum and colon. The EC50 for carbachol in the jejunum of HLA-B27 rats was also normalized by rhIL-11 treatment. Our data demonstrate that oral administration of enteric-coated rhIL-11 suppresses intestinal inflammation and reverses intestinal smooth muscle dysfunction in HLA-B27 transgenic rats.

HLA-B27 transgenic rats are a model of spontaneous gastrointestinal inflammation associated with expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27 and beta(2)-microglobulin. Our goal was to investigate in vitro enteric nerve regulation and contractile activity in isolated longitudinal muscles from the jejunum and colon of HLA-B27 rats. Nontransgenic age-matched Fisher 344 rats were used as contro...

Background: Spondyloarthropathies are a group of closely related inflammatory arthritis which involve the axial skeleton and are negative for rheumatoid factor. Objective: This case-control study was conducted to examine HLA- B27 positivity in patients with seronegative spondyloarthritis (SSA) as per ESSG criteria and compare the frequency with healthy controls because a lower positivity is rep...
