Abstract:
Objective To observe the role of the P-glycoprotein (P-GP)in the pathogenesis of colitis in FVB and multiple drug resistance (mdr) gene, mdr1a, knockout (mdr1a~(-/-)) mice. Methods The clinical, pathological and immunohistochemical characteristics were observed in FVB control mice and mdr1a~(-/-) mice with or without inflammation of intestinal tract. The functions of T cell and B cell in these mice were analyzed. Results Approximately 26 of the 124 mdr1a~(-/-) mice were found to have symptoms of colitis such as diarrhea and weight loss in this study, and pathologic changes in these mice were similar to that in the human active ulcerative colitis. CD4~+ T cell and B cell infiltrated into the (proper) lamina were observed by immunohistochemical staining in mdr1a~(-/-) mice with colitis. There were (significant) increases in serum antibody titers of all types in mdr1a~(-/-) mice with active colitis. The levels of IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, IgA and IgM were 7568, 1876, 823, 234, 897 and 189 ?g/ml, (res-)(pectively), significantly higher than those in FVB mice, which were 623, 102, 54, 42, 32 and 58 ?g/ml, (respectively) ( P
