Objective:To observe regulation of scorpio and scolopendra on intestinal mucosal immunity system in rats with collagen induced arthritis(CIA).Method: Sixty rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:normal control group
model control group
low-dose Scorpio and Scolopendra group
middle-dose Scorpio and Scolopendra group
high-dose Scorpio and Scolopendra group
and typeⅡcollagen group.Rheumatoid arthritis was induced by Collagen.Level of lymphocyte subsets from peyer’s patches was measured by flow cytometry
and expression of TGF-β1
sIgA in intestine was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Result: Cellular level of CD4+
CD8+ was obviously descending in all treated groups when compared with the model group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Except for middle-dose Scorpio and Scolopendra group
while expression of sIgA in enteric homogenate from other treated groups was notably heightened(P<0.01).On the contrary
TGF-β1 was remarkably lower in middle-dose Scorpio and Scolopendra group and type Ⅱcollagen group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion: Regulation of Scorpio and Scolopendra on intestinal mucosal immunity system in rats with collagen induced arthritis was potentially implemented by regulating balance of T-lymphocyte subsets
down-regulating expression of TGF-β1 and increasing sIgA expression in intestine.
