Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease involving multiple joint. In order to access the suppressive effects of JTT on rheumatoid arthritis and it's effects on immune system we investigated whether JTT could suppress the disease progression of collagen-induced arthritis. DBA/1 mice were immunized with bovine type II collagen. After a second collagen immunization, mice were treated with DW, JTT (200 or 400 mg/kg) or methotrexate (MTX, 30 mg/kg) as a positive control. Oral administration of JTT significantly suppressed the progression of CIA, which extend is comparable to that of MTX. Histological examination reveled that JTT inhibited infiltration of inflammatory cells into affected paw joint and bone erosion and cartilage destruction were greatly reduced compared with control. Total cell number of spleen, lymph node and peripheral blood were significantly reduced. The absolute number of CD19$^+$, CD3$^+$/CD69$^+$, CD4$^+$/CD25$^+$ cell in spleen from JTT treated mice were significantly decreased. The absolute number of CD19$^+$, CD3$^+$, CD3$^+$/CD69$^+$, CD4$^+$, CD4$^+$/CD25$^+$ CD8$^+$, CD49b, CD3/CD49b cells in draining lymph node were significantly increased compared with control. In peripheral blood mononuclear cells of JTT treated mice, the absolute number of CD4$^+$, CD4$^+$/CD25$^+$, CD3$^+$/CD69$^+$ cells were significantly decreased compared with control, while that of CD49b$^+$ was slightly increased. Infiltration of CD3$^+$ cells and CD11b$^+$/Gr-1$^+$ cells into paw joint was significantly reduced in JTT treated mice. The levels of pathologic cytokines including TNF-a and IL-6 in serum were significantly decreased by oral treatment with JTT The levels of IFN-g in the culture supernatant of splenocyte stimulated with CD3$^+$/CD28$^+$ or collagen were dramatically decreased, while the levels of IL-4 was increased under CD3$^+$/CD28$^+$ or collagen stimulation. Rheumatoid factors including IgG, IgM and collagen specific antibody were present much lower in the serum of JTT treated mice than control. Taken together, JTT has suppressive effects on rheumatoid arthritis by modulating immune system, and has potential to use anti-rheumatic arthritic agent in human.
