Abstract:
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of 4-1BB monoclone antibodies on mice hepatitis induced by Coneanavalin A (ConA) and its influenes on CD4+CD25+T lymphoeytes during the course. Methods The miee model of hepatic injury was indueed by ConA and monitored by hepatic function tests and hepatic pathology. The expressions of 4-1BB were examined by flow eytometry. 4-1BB monoelone antibodies were intravenously injected to the mice. The therapeutic efficacy was then examined by hepatic function tests and hepatic pathology. The expressions of CD4+CD25+T lymphoeytes were also examined by flow eytometry. Results The group of immune hepatic injury induced by ConA showed damage and marked increase of ALT and AST which were (139±22) U/L and (130±16) U/L respectively. The expression level of 4-1BB was 8.1±2.6. Compared with the eontrol group, the difference was significant (P<0.05). The overall eondition of the miee was improved after being treated with 4-1BB monoelone antibodies. ALT and AST were lowed down to (98±14) U/L and (89±11) U/L respectively and the differenee was signifieant (P<0.01). The expression of 4-1BB of the control group was 3.0±0.8 and that of the treatment group was 8.3±3.0. The difference was significant (P<0.01). Conclusion 4-1BB eontributes to the immune-mediated hepatic injury induced by Con-A.
