Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the preparation, characteristics and research progress of different PsA animal models. METHODS Computerized searches were conducted in CNKI, PubMed and other databases to classify and discuss the relevant studies on PsA animal models. The search keywords were "PsA and animal model(s), PsA and animal(s), PsA and mouse, PsA and mice, PsA and rat(s), PsA and rabbit(s), PsA and dog(s)" RESULTS: The experimental animals currently used to study PsA are mainly rodents, including mice and rats. According to the different methods of preparing the models, the retrieved animal models were classified into spontaneous or genetic mutation, transgenic and induced animal models. These PsA animal models involve multiple pathogenesis, some experimental animals' lesions appear in a short and comprehensive cycle, some have a high success rate in molding, and some are complex and less reproducibility. This article summarizes the preparation methods, advantages and disadvantages of different models. CONCLUSIONS The animal models of PsA aim to mimic the clinicopathological alterations of PsA patients through gene mutation, transgenesis or targeted proinflammatory factor and to reveal new pathogenic pathways and therapeutic targets by exploring the pathological features and clinical manifestations of the disease. This work will have very far-reaching implications for the in-depth understanding of PsA and the development of new drugs.

Magnesium increases numbers of Foxp3+ Treg cells and reduces arthritis severity and joint damage in an IL-10-dependent manner mediated by the intestinal microbiome. EBioMedicine 2023; 92:104603. [PMID: 37201335 PMCID: PMC10203746 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2023.104603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease with emerging environmental and microbiome risk factors. The western diet is typically deficient in magnesium (Mg), and there is some evidence suggesting that Mg may have anti-inflammatory properties. But the actual role of Mg supplementation in arthritis or in T cell subsets has not been explored. METHODS We investigated the role of a high Mg diet in two different mouse models of RA induced with the KRN serum, and collagen-induced arthritis. We also characterized the phenotypes of splenocytes, gene expression, and an extensive intestinal microbiome analyses including fecal material transplantation (FMT). FINDINGS The high Mg diet group was significantly protected with reduced arthritis severity and joint damage, and reduced expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα. The high Mg group also had increased numbers of Foxp3+ Treg cells and IL-10-producing T cells. The high Mg protective effect disappeared in IL-10 knockout mice. FMT from the high Mg diet mice recreated the phenotypes seen in the diet-treated mice, with reduced arthritis severity, increased Foxp3+ Treg, and increased IL-10-producing T cells. Intestinal microbiome analyses using 16S rDNA sequencing revealed diet-specific changes, including reduced levels of RA-associated Prevotella in the high Mg group, while increasing levels of Bacteroides and other bacteria associated with increased production of short-chain fatty acids. Metagenomic analyses implicated additional pathways including L-tryptophan biosynthesis and arginine deiminase. INTERPRETATION We describe a new role for Mg in suppressing arthritis, in expanding Foxp3+ T reg cells and in the production of IL-10, and show that these effects are mediated by the intestinal microbiome. Our discoveries suggest a novel strategy for modifying the intestinal microbiome to treat RA and other autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. FUNDING None.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a genetically determined, environmentally triggered, immune system-mediated autoimmune disease. Different animal models are needed to investigate the complex pathological mechanisms underlying this disease. Therefore, we established mannan-induced psoriasis model and compared with the most commonly used imiquimod-induced psoriasis in terms of disease, induction of innate immune cells, expression of cytokines, and the effect of dexamethasone treatment. Mannan significantly induced more severe psoriasis with better disease relapsing feature than imiquimod (IMQ). As determined by immunohistochemistry, IMQ induced significantly more infiltration of CD11c+ and F4/80+ cells than mannan in the skin. However, cytometric analysis showed a significant increase in the percentage of Gr-1+ neutrophils in the spleen and lymph nodes as well as F4/80+ macrophages in the spleen after mannan exposure. Variation in the percentage of significantly increased Vγ4 T cells was also found to be dependent on the lymphoid organs tested. However, there is a clear difference between these models in terms of expression of certain cytokine genes: IL-22, IL-23, IL-17E, and IL-17F were expressed more predominantly in mannan-induced inflammation, while IL-6 and IL-17A expressions were significantly higher in IMQ model. Interestingly, dexamethasone treatment strongly reduced epidermal thickness and histological scores induced by mannan than IMQ. Despite inducing psoriasis-like inflammation, certain differences and similarities were observed in the immune responses induced by mannan and IMQ. However, mannan-induced psoriasis model is relatively more simple, economical and less harmful to mice with an increased possibility to develop a chronic psoriasis model by exposing mice to mannan.

Arthritis Res Ther 2022; 24:24. [PMID: 35039073 PMCID: PMC8762869 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-021-02693-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Neutrophils are present in the early phases of spondyloarthritis-related uveitis, skin and intestinal disease, but their role in enthesitis, a cardinal musculoskeletal lesion in spondyloarthritis, remains unknown. We considered the role of neutrophils in the experimental SKG mouse model of SpA and in human axial entheses. Methods Early inflammatory infiltrates in the axial and peripheral entheseal sites in SKG mice were evaluated using immunohistochemistry and laser capture microdissection of entheseal tissue. Whole transcriptome analysis was carried out using Affymetrix gene array MTA 1.0, and data was analyzed via IPA. We further isolated neutrophils from human peri-entheseal bone and fibroblasts from entheseal soft tissue obtained from the axial skeleton of healthy patients and determined the response of these cells to fungal adjuvant. Results Following fungal adjuvant administration, early axial and peripheral inflammation in SKG mice was characterized by prominent neutrophilic entheseal inflammation. Expression of transcripts arising from neutrophils include abundant mRNA for the alarmins S100A8 and S100A9. In normal human axial entheses, neutrophils were present in the peri-entheseal bone. Upon fungal stimulation in vitro, human neutrophils produced IL-23 protein, while isolated human entheseal fibroblasts produced chemokines, including IL-8, important in the recruitment of neutrophils. Conclusion Neutrophils with inducible IL-23 production are present in uninflamed human entheseal sites, and neutrophils are prominent in early murine spondyloarthritis-related enthesitis. We propose a role for neutrophils in the early development of enthesitis. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s13075-021-02693-7.

Abstract
Oral vaccine and gene delivery systems must be engineered to withstand several different physiological environments, such as those present in the oral cavity, stomach, and jejunum, each of which exhibits varying pH levels and enzyme distributions. Additionally, these systems must be designed to ensure appropriate gastrointestinal absorption and tissue/cellular targeting properties. Yeasts-based delivery vehicles are excellent candidates for oral vaccine and oral gene therapies as many species possess cellular characteristics resulting in enhanced resistance to the harsh gastrointestinal (GI) environment and facilitated passage across the mucosal barrier. Yeast capsules can stimulate and modulate host immune responses, which is beneficial for vaccine efficacy. In addition, recombinant modification of yeasts to express cell penetrating proteins and injection mechanisms along with efficient cell adhering capabilities can potentially improve transfection rates of genetic material. In this literature review, we present evidence supporting the beneficial role yeast-based delivery systems can play in increasing the efficacy of oral administration of vaccines and gene therapies.
