Rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that causes chronic pain
and joint destruction. T cells activation has an important role in RA
pathogenesis. Activation of T lymphocytes requires the co-stimulatory signals
provided by antigen-presenting cells. T-cell activation without co-stimulation
results in anergy. In this study, to inhibit the activation of T lymphocytes
formed in the experimental arthritis, tolerogenic dendritic cells were aimed to
be obtained by the genetical modification of dendritic cells with CTLA4-KDEL overexpression in endoplasmic
reticulum. Then, RA created animals treated with tolDCs and the effect of
treatment on blood parameters were investigated.
For
this purpose, mouse collagen induced arthritis model was used. The mice with
arthritis were intraarticularly treated with modified tolDCs. It was observed
that the treatment group significantly reversed the increase in the joint
thickness and the increase in the number of white blood cells, especially with
the increase in neutrophils when compared with control groups.
As
a result, genetically modified tolDCs reduced the clinical symptoms of
experimental arthritis and also reversed the changes in blood parameters due to
experimental arthritis in mice.
