چکیده انگلیسی
Immunostimulatory CpG motifs can preferentially induce Th1 immune responses and have been applied to treat Th2-dominant disease. In this study, we investigated whether a plasmid with the addition of 20 copies of an immunostimulatory CpG motif (pB-CpG20) might prevent the development of scleroderma-like syndrome in tight-skin (Tsk/+) mice. Administration of pB-CpG20 to Tsk/+mice every 3 weeks starting at the age of 1 week reduced skin thickness and collagen content compared to that of pB or saline. The reduction was long lasting even after halting the treatment. Furthermore, this treatment partially reduced the production of anti-nuclear antibodies although it did not decrease the incidence of lung emphysema. pB-CpG20 increased the number of spleen cells secreting IFN-γ and reduced that of the cells secreting IL-4 in vivo and in vitro compared to saline. These results suggest that repeated administration of a CpG-enriched plasmid can ameliorate scleroderma-like syndrome by biasing Th1 immunity in young Tsk/+mice.
