Abstract
- Objective: Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra)-deficient mice on a BALB/c background spontaneously develop a chronic inflammatory polyarthropathy closely resembling that of rheumatoid arthritis in humans. To elucidate the role of CD28 costimulatory signals in the development of this disease, we studied IL-1Ra/CD28-double-deficient mice.<br />Methods: We crossed IL-1Ra-deficient mice with CD28-deficient mice and observed the incidence and severity of arthritis. To investigate functions of IL-1Ra/CD28-double-deficient T cells, cells were stimulated with CD3 monoclonal antibody or allogeneic antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and their proliferative responses and levels of cytokine production were measured.<br />Results: Disease severity was lower in IL-1Ra/CD28-double-deficient mice than in mice that were deficient only in IL-1Ra, although incidence of arthritis was not affected by the presence or absence of CD28. When pathogenic IL-1Ra-KO T cells were transferred into nude mice, severe arthritis developed. Even though T cells from double-deficient mice showed the same diminished proliferative capacity as was seen in T cells from CD28-single-deficient animals, nude mice into which double-deficient T cells were transferred never developed arthritis.<br />Conclusion: These findings indicate that IL-1Ra/CD28-double-deficient T cells can be activated by IL-1Ra-deficient activated APCs, resulting in induction of arthritis; however, these T cells did not induce the disease under normal conditions, because they did not differentiate into effector/memory phenotype.
