Abstract Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a very common and lethal complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), yet its pathogenesis is not well understood, in part due to the lack of adequate animal models. Although collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is the most widely used animal model for RA, the lung involvement occurring in this model has scarcely been studied. To evaluate the suitability of CIA as a model for RA-associated ILD (RA-ILD), we immunized DBA/1 mice with bovine type II collagen and characterized lung disease in this model. Histologic analyses revealed patchy interstitial infiltration of inflammatory cells in the peripheral regions of the lung, notably in the subpleural region, in mice with CIA. This pattern resembled usual interstitial pneumonia in humans, which is the most prevalent pattern in RA-ILD. Among infiltrates in the lung, CD11bhi macrophages of the M2 phenotype were most prominently increased. IgG and C3 were deposited in the subpleural region where inflammatory cells infiltrated. The sera from CIA mice contained auto-antibodies against citrullinated proteins, which are specific and predictive markers for RA. Protein citrullination was enhanced in the lung of CIA mice compared with naive mice, and citrullinated fibrinogen was primarily targeted by these auto-antibodies. The elevation of auto-antibodies against citrullinated proteins and their deposition in the lung with patchy subpleural preponderance suggest that CIA can serve as a model to study the pathogenesis of RA-ILD.

We have found that serum from rats with type II collagen-induced arthritis, when fractionated with 50% ammonium sulfate and concentrated, would transfer arthritis to nonimmunized recipients. The arthritis in recipients developed within 18-72 h and displayed all of the major histopathologic characteristics of the early lesion in immunized animals but was transient and less severe. Although consideration was given to the possibility that a circulating immune complex was involved, no evidence of such a complex was detected. Further fractionation of the serum yielded an IgG anticollagen antibody that was fully active in transferring disease. The antibody's reaction was inhibited by the native bovine type II collagen used for immunization of donors and the antibody strongly cross-reacted with homologous type II collage but not with denatured collagen. These studies demonstrate that arthritis in rats can be induced with anti-type II collagen antibodies and suggest that an autoimmune process is involved. Because antibodies to collagen have also been detected in human rheumatic diseases, further investigation of the characteristics of collagen antibodies capable of inducing arthritis seems warranted.

It is vital that cellular- and tissue-based products (CTPs) used for wound treatment do not provoke autoimmunity. In this study, the immunogenic response to extracts of 2 CTPs of piscine and porcine origin was assessed in the collagen-induced arthritis model. Male DBA/1J mice were divided into 4 groups, each composed of 7 to 9 animals. Each animal was injected with one of following to assess their immune responses: (1) bovine type II collagen (100 µg) in Freund’s adjuvant, (2) extract of piscine skin (100 µg) in Freund’s adjuvant, (3) extract of porcine urinary bladder matrix (100 µg) in Freund’s adjuvant, or (4) Freund’s adjuvant alone (control) at the beginning of the experiment and 3 weeks later. Clinical signs of arthritis were assessed from week 5 onwards, and anti-type II and anti-type I collagen antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG) serum levels were measured before injections and 8 weeks after exposure using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Only the mice exposed to bovine type II collagen developed clinical arthritis accompanied by very high anti-type II collagen IgG serum levels. Anti-type II collagen IgG serum levels were also detected in the porcine group but were undetectable in the piscine skin and control groups after 8 weeks. There were no significant differences in anti-type I collagen IgG serum levels among the groups. The results showed that piscine skin did not provoke systemic autoimmunity against type II collagens in DBA/1J mice.

Background. Pharmacologically modulated dendritic cells (DCs) have been shown to restore tolerance in type II collagen-(CII-) induced arthritis (CIA). We examined the effect of dexamethasone (DXM) administration as a preconditioning agent, followed by an injection of lipopolysaccharide-(LPS-) stimulated and CII-loaded DCs on the CIA course.Methods. After CIA induction, mice pretreated with DXM were injected with 4-hour LPS-stimulated DCs loaded with CII (DXM/4hLPS/CII/DCs).Results. Mice injected with DXM/4hLPS/CII/DCs displayed significantly less severe clinical disease compared to animals receiving 4hLPS/CII/DCs alone or those in which only DXM was administered. Cytokine profile evaluation showed that CD4+ T cells from DXM/4hLPS/CII/DCs and 4hLPS/CII/DCs groups release higher IL-10 levels than those from mice receiving DXM alone or CIA mice. CD4+ T cells from all DC-treated groups showed less IL-17 release when compared to the CIA group. On the contrary, CD4+ T cells from DXM/4hLPS/CII/DCs and 4hLPS/CII/DCs groups released higher IFN-γlevels than those from CIA group.Conclusion. A combined treatment, including DXM preconditioning followed by an inoculation of short-term LPS-stimulated CII-loaded DCs, provides an improved strategy for attenuating CIA severity. Our results suggest that this benefit is driven by a modulation in the cytokine profile secreted by CD4+ T cells.
