Blood concentrations of Th2-type immunoglobulins are selectively increased in weanling mice subjected to acute malnutrition

Male and female C57BL/6J mice, initially 19 days old, consumed a complete purified diet either ad libitum (age-matched control) or in restricted daily quantities (energy deficiency), or they consumed a purified isocaloric low-protein diet ad libitum (protein and energy deficit). In a 14-day experimental period, malnourished animals lost approximately 1.5% of their initial body weight daily. Zero-time controls, 19 days old, were also included in the study. Serum levels of Th2-type (IgG1 and IgE) and Th1-type (IgG2a and IgG3) immunoglobulins were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and total IgG concentration was also assessed. Both malnourished groups exhibited high serum concentrations of IgG1 and IgE relative to the age-matched control group, whereas levels of the Th1-type immunoglobulins were unaffected. Total IgG concentration in the malnourished groups reflected the usual finding in humans (i.e., no effect or elevated). The results are consistent with the proposition of Th2-polarized immune competence in acute weanling deficiencies of energy, protein, or both.     

Radiation-induced pulmonary endothelial dysfunction and hydroxyproline accumulation in four strains of mice

C57BL mice exposed to 14 Gy of whole-thorax irradiation develop significant histologic lung fibrosis within 52 weeks, whereas CBA and C3H mice do not exhibit substantial fibrosis during this time. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether this strain-dependent difference in radiation histopathology is associated with genetic differences in pulmonary endothelial metabolic activity or in endothelial radioresponsiveness. C57BL/6J, C57BL/10J, CBA/J, and C3H/HeJ mice were sacrificed 12 weeks after exposure to 0 or 14 Gy of 300-kV X rays to the whole thorax. Lung angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity and plasminogen activator (PLA) activity were measured as indices of pulmonary endothelial function; and lung hydroxyproline (HP) content served as an index of pulmonary fibrosis. Lung ACE and PLA activities in sham-irradiated C57BL/6J and CB57BL/10J mice were only half as high as those in sham-irradiated CBA/J and C3H/HeJ mice. Exposure to 14 Gy of X rays produced a slight but nonsignificant reduction in lung ACE and PLA activity in the C57BL strains, and a significant reduction in the CBA/J and C3H/HeJ mice. Even after 14 Gy, however, lung ACE and PLA activities in CBA/J and C3H/HeJ mice were higher than those in sham-irradiated C57BL/6J and C57BL/10J mice. Lung HP content in all four strains increased significantly after irradiation, but this increase was accompanied by an increase in lung wet weight. As a result, HP concentration (per milligram wet weight) remained constant or increased slightly in both C57BL strains and actually decreased in the CBA/J and C3H/HeJ mice. These data demonstrate significant genetic differences in both intrinsic pulmonary endothelial enzyme activity and endothelial radioresponsiveness among the four strains of mice. Specifically, strains prone to radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis (C57BL/6J, C57BL/10J) exhibit only half as much lung ACE and PLA activity as do strains resistant to fibrosis (CBA and C3H).     

Serum antibody and cellular immune response in mice to dextran B512.

Serum antibodies to dextran started to appear 3 days after immunization of C57BL/6 mice. Synthesis of IgM antibodies was followed by IgG3 and IgGA. Other immunoglobulin classes (IgG1, IgG2b, and IgG2a) were very low or absent. The immune response to dextran was also thymus independent with regard to IgG3 and IgA synthesis as demonstrated by the use of nu/nu mice. CBA and C57BL/6 mice were high responders to dextran with regard to IgM synthesis. C57BL/6 mice produced high levels of IgG3 and IgA antibodies, whereas CBA, A/J, and A.TL only synthesized IgM antibodies. A/J and A.TL strains were most frequently low responders with regard to IgM synthesis and CBA/N mice were completely nonresponders with regard to all immunoglobulin classes. The ability to produce anti-dextran antibodies increased with age in high responder strains. This was most pronounced for IgG3 and IgA antibodies, which reached adult levels 3 months after birth. The affinity of anti-dextran antibodies was high and homogeneous in antisera from C57BL/6 mice. Preimmune matural antibodies and antibodies from immunized low responder strains had a low and variable affinity for dextran.     

Adrenal function and the effect of a high-fat diet on C57BL/6J and C57BL/6J-ob/ob mice.

In C57BL/6J mice and the ob/+ and ob/ob mutants total plasma corticosterone levels were found to be statistically different. In C57BL/6J mice the level was 1.9 +/- 0.2 mug/100 ml plasma, in ob/+ mice 8.6 +/- 1.6 mug/100 ml and in ob/ob mice 13.7 +/- 1.5 mug/100 ml. The percentage of protein-bound corticosterone as well as the free endogenous corticosterone levels were also different. Feeding a high-fat diet to young C57BL/6J and C57BL/6J-ob/ob mice for a period of 4 weeks had no effect upon blood glucose, plasma insulin and plasma corticosterone levels. The significantly higher increase in body weight of the high-fat diet groups of both lines of mice was mainly due to fat cell hypertrophy.     

D-LEU-4]-OB3, a synthetic leptin agonist, improves hyperglycemic control in C57BL/6J ob/ob mice

We have recently shown that the activity of a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 116-130 of secreted mouse leptin is contained in a restricted sequence at the amino terminus of the peptide, between residues 116-122 (Ser-Cys-Ser-Leu-Pro-Gln-Thr, OB3). Substitution of the Leu residue at position 4 of OB3 with its D-isomer ([D-Leu-4]-OB3) enhanced the ability of OB3 (1 mg/day, ip, 7 days) to reduce body weight gain, food and water intake, and serum glucose in female C57BL/6J ob/ob mice. In the present study, we have utilized a pair-feeding approach to demonstrate that the antihyperglycemic action of [D-Leu-4]-OB3 is not solely due to its effects on caloric intake. One group of female C57BL/6J ob/ob mice (n=6) was fed ad libitum, and two additional groups (n=6 per group) were allowed 3.0 g food/mouse daily, an amount previously determined to satisfy [D-Leu-4]-OB3-treated mice. At the end of the 7-day test period, vehicle-injected mice fed ad libitum were approximately 10% heavier than their initial body weights, while pair-fed mice injected with vehicle and [D-Leu-4]-OB3-treated mice lost 5% of their initial body weights. After 1 day of treatment, blood glucose was reduced by 20% in pair-fed vehicle-injected mice, and by 40% in mice given [D-Leu-4]-OB3. Food restriction reduced blood glucose throughout the 7-day study, but not to levels seen in wild-type nonobese C57BL/6J mice of the same sex and age. After 2 days of treatment with [D-Leu-4]-OB3, however, blood glucose was reduced to levels comparable to those seen in wild-type nonobese mice. [D-Leu-4]-OB3 also lowered serum insulin levels by 53% when compared to mice fed ad libitum. Neither pair-feeding nor [D-Leu-4]-OB3 treatment had any apparent effect on thermogenesis. These results suggest that [D-Leu-4]-OB3 exerts its effects on serum glucose not only by suppressing caloric intake, but also through a separate effect on glucose metabolism which may involve increased tissue sensitivity to insulin.     

Immune responses of different mouse strains after challenge with equivalent lethal doses of Toxoplasma gondii

Most immunological studies that utilize different strains of inbred mice following T. gondii infection fail to compensate for differences in host susceptibility to the size of the parasite innoculum. To address this concern, susceptible C57BL/6 and resistant CBA/J mice were orally infected with either an equivalent 50% lethal dose (LD50) of brain cysts of the 76K strain of T. gondii (15 cysts in C57BL/6, 400 cysts in CBA/J) or the same dose of parasites in each mouse strain. C57BL/6 mice receiving 400 cysts (LD50 of CBA/J mice) died post infection, whereas CBA/J mice that received 15 cysts (LD50 of C57BL/6 mice) survived. Parasite loads in the brains and serum Toxoplasma-specific IgG1 titers of LD50-infected C57BL/6 mice were significantly higher than those in LD50- or 15 cysts-infected CBA/J mice, whereas splenocyte proliferation to Toxoplasma antigen and the percentage of CD8 alpha+ T cells were reduced in LD50-infected C57BL/6 mice. In contrast, serum IgG2a and IgM titers, the percentage of gamma delta T cells and IFN-gamma expression of spleen of LD50-infected CBA/J mice were higher than those of either 15 cysts-infected CBA/J mice or LD50-infected C57BL/6 mice. These observations demonstrate that the immune response between LD50-infected C57BL/6 and CBA/J mice was more prominent when compared to C57BL/6 or CBA/J mice receiving the same parasite inoculum. These observations would suggest that caution must be excersized in the planning and interpretation of data when the size of the parasite inoculum has not been adjusted for mouse strain.     

Augmentation of mouse natural killer cell activity by muramyl dipeptide and its analogs

The ability of muramyl dipeptide (MDP) and its structural analogs (des-MDP, abu-MDP, and des-abu-MDP) to influence mouse natural killer (NK) cells in two different strains of mice was examined. In CBA/J mice, administration of MDP by both intraperitoneal (ip) and intravenous (iv) routes enhanced splenic NK cell activity. Maximum augmentation of NK cell activity was observed 3 days after MDP treatment. NK cell activity was also stimulated upon in vitro culture of CBA/J mouse spleen cells with MDP. Only iv inoculation of MDP to C57BL/6 mice 7 days previously enhanced NK cell activity of spleen cells. Peritoneal NK cell activity was not affected in either strain of mice, regardless of the route of inoculation of MDP. Two structural analogs of MDP, abu-MDP and des-abu-MDP, enhanced peritoneal NK cell activity, whereas des-MDP had no effect when tested 3 days after ip treatment of CBA/J mice with these compounds. Peritoneal NK cell activity of C57BL/6 mice was not modulated by des-MDP, abu-MDP, or des-abu-MDP. A synergistic effect on peritoneal NK cell activity was observed in both CBA/J and C57BL/6 mice treated first with MDP and then with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG).     

Exploratory activity of mice of different genetic strains after olfaction disruption by 3-methylindole (skatole)

The behavior of mice of two inbred strains (C57BL/6J and CBA) and their F1 hybrids was evaluated in the open field test after intraperitoneal administration of 3-methylindole (skatole) disrupting epithelium of the main olfactory system. High motor and exploratory activities and emotional sensitivity was observed in intact C57BL/6J mice compared to CBA mice and their hybrids. Anosmia induced by intraperitoneal administration of skatole changed the behavior of C57BL/6J and CBA mice. The direction of the observed changes in the orientation and exploratory behavior of anosmic animals was different. Anosmia decreased motor and exploratory activities in C57BL/6J mice and increase them in CBA mice. Intact hybrid mice demonstrated the predominance of the CBA genotype in the orientation and exploratory activity in the test used. Anosmia in hybrid animals had no significant effect on the orientation and exploratory behavior.     

Genetic Determination of the Developmental Program for Mouse Liver β-GALACTOSIDASE: Involvement of Sites Proximate to and Distant from the Structural Gene

The identification and mode of action of genetic loci that program gene expression during development are important for understanding differentiation in higher organisms. Previous work from this laboratory has identified two patterns for the postnatal development of liver beta-galactosidase among inbred mouse strains: type I, where activity levels remain constant after about 30 days of age, is found in strains DBA/2J, CBA/J, and BALB/cJ, among others; type II, where activity levels increase between 25 and 50 days of age to reach a new adult level, is found in strain C57BL/6J and related strains. It has been shown that the type I vs. type II developmental difference between strains C57BL/6J and DBA/2J is due to variation at a locus, Bgl-t, that maps with the beta-galactosidase complex, [Bgl], on chromosome 9. In the present study, we have confirmed the existence of Bgl-t as a temporal locus within [Bgl] by analysis of both a congenic strain carrying the beta-galactosidase complex of strain CBA/J in the C57BL/6J genetic background and a cross of strains CBA/J and C57BL/6J. The existence of additional temporal loci for beta-galactosidase that segregate independently of the structural gene and participate in determination of the type I vs. type II difference was revealed by analysis of: (1) a congenic strain containing the beta-galactosidase complex of strain BALB/cJ in the C57BL/10Sn background; (2) recombinant inbred lines derived from progenitor strains C57BL/6ByJ and BALB/cByJ; and (3) a genetic cross between strains C57BL/6ByJ and BALB/cByJ. Thus, for these pairs of strains, the type I vs. type II developmental difference is due to variation at a temporal locus (or loci) unlinked to the enzyme structural gene, and not at Bgl-t. These facts, together with information gathered from an examination of the distribution of beta-galactosidase phenotypes among over 100 inbred strains (Breen, Lusis and Paigen 1977), have led us to conclude that the postnatal developmental pattern for liver beta-galactosidase is determined by a set of interacting temporal genes. One of these, Bgl-t, is located within [Bgl], and one or more are separable from [Bgl] by recombination. A possible mode of interaction among the temporal and instructural loci is suggested.     

Effect of genotype on the development of aggressive and submissive behavior in the mouse

Aggressive and submissive behaviour was studied in CBA/Lac and C57BL/6J strains of mice during long-term intermale interaction with syngenic partners. It was shown that the aggressiveness of aggressive C57BL/6J animals was more expressive than that of CBA/Lac' ones. The structure of submissive behaviour of this strains' encounters was also significantly different. Prolonged-defeat experience changed the character of submissive behaviour of C57BL/6J, but not of CBA/Lac' ones. Aggression of dominant animals considerably decreased in both strains. It is suggested that CBA/Lac and C57BL/6J mice had different mechanisms of suppression of intermale aggression.     

Effect of chronic corticosterone application on depression‐like behavior in C57BL/6N and C57BL/6J mice

Many studies using genetic mouse models are performed with animals on either one of the two closely related genetic backgrounds, C57BL/6J or C57BL/6N. These strains differ only in a few genetic loci, but have some phenotypic differences that also affect behavior. In order to determine the effects of chronic stress hormone exposure, which is relevant for the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders, we investigated here the behavioral manifestations of long‐term increase in corticosterone levels. Thus, male mice from both sub‐strains were subcutaneously implanted with corticosterone (20 mg) or placebo pellets that released the hormone for a period of 21 days and resulted in significantly elevated plasma corticosterone levels. Corticosterone significantly increased food intake in B6N, but not in B6J mice. At various time points after pellet implantation, we performed tests relevant to activity and emotional behaviors. B6J mice displayed a generally higher activity in the home cage and the open field. Corticosterone decreased the activity. In B6N mice, corticosterone also decreased sucrose preference, worsened the coat state and increased forced swim immobility, while it had no effect in the B6J strain. Altogether, these results indicate that B6N mice are more sensitive to some of the effects of chronic corticosterone treatment than B6J mice.     

Decline in male mouse pheromone with age

An age-related decline in urinary-borne pheromone was found in male C57BL/6J mice aged from 2 to 30 months. Pheromone activity, estimated by bioassay, declined sharply after about 10 months of age. Two other strains of mice tested (DBA/2J and CBA/HT6J) also appeared to show an age-related decline in pheromone activity. Within each strain, however, pheromone activity was consistently similar to or higher than that of the C57BL/6J male mice. The DBA/2J and BALB/cWt strains appeared to be high pheromone producers, and the C57BL/6J and CBA/HT6J strains, low producers. This report is the first demonstration of a decline with age in male mouse pheromone activity. This decline appears to be synchronized with the well-defined loss of reproductive function in female mice.     

Increased taurine excretion in hereditary hyperprolinemia of the mouse

The concentration of taurine in fresh urine samples of hyperprolinemic PRO/Re mice taken daily for five days was about 18.0 μmoles per ml urine compared to 3.2 for CBA/J mice. The concentration of taurine in plasma of PRO/Re mice was not elevated compared to CBA/J or C57BL/6J mice. When CBA/J mice are treated with proline the concentration of taurine in the urine increased.     

不同品系小鼠胚胎玻璃化冷冻保存的比较研究

Structural evidence for a polymorphic or allelic form of the heavy chain variable region.

The heavy (H) chains of anti-phosphocholine (PC) antibodies from C57BL/6J and CBA/J were sequenced through the N-terminal 36 residues and compared with previously published sequences of A/J anti-PC antibody and BALB/c PC-binding myeloma proteins T15, M603, and M511. Each of these antibody preparations contained molecules having light (L) chains and idiotypic determinants of T15, M511, and M603 indicating the presence of at least three different anti-PC antibodies in each pool. The structures of the C57BL/6J and CBA/J H chains each revealed a single sequence from positions 1 to 36 (which includes the first complementarity determining region (CDR), and they were identical. The first CDR was identical to that previously found for BALB/c and A/J indicating that this portion of these antibody molecules is highly conserved throughout inbred mice and is probably critical to PC-binding. A surprising finding was that both C57NL/6 and CBA sequence differed from the BALB/c and A/J sequences at two positions, residue 14 and 16. Since each of these strains differs at the allotype locus, the data indicates that the evolution of allotypy in mice occurred after variable region diversity for the particular genes.     

Interstrain differences in mice in developing migration inhibition factors to Candida albicans antigens

The authors studied the time course of MIF production by lymphocytes of CBA (H-2k), C57BL/6J (H-2b) and (CBA X C57BL/6J) F1 (H-2b/H-2k) mice sensitized to Candida albicans antigens. The interstrain differences in lymphokin production were identified, CBA mice appeared to be highly responsive, whereas C57BL/6J to be low-responsive. Partial hybridological analysis made it possible to ascertain the presence of the dominant type heredity of high MIF production in response to Candida albicans antigens.     

Elevated bioactivity of the tolerogenic cytokines, interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-beta, in the blood of acutely malnourished weanling mice

The main objective of this investigation was to determine the influence of acute deficits of protein and energy on the blood levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), physiologically the main anti-inflammatory and tolerogenic cytokines. In four 14-day experiments, male and female C57BL/6J mice, initially 19 days old, consumed a complete purified diet either ad libitum or in restricted daily quantities, or had free access to an isocaloric purified low-protein diet. A zero-time control group (19 days old) was included. In the first two experiments, serum IL-10 levels were assessed by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and bioassay. The mean serum IL-10 bioactivities were higher (P < or = 0.05) in both malnourished groups (low-protein and restricted intake: 15.8 and 12.2 ng/ml, respectively) than in the zero-time and age-matched control groups (6.3 and 7.3 ng/ml, respectively), whereas serum IL-10 immunoactivity was high only in the restricted intake group (e.g., second experiment: 17.0 pg/ml vs. 5.4, 3.7, and 3.1 pg/ml in the zero-time control, age-matched control and low-protein group, respectively). The third and fourth experiments centered on plasma TGF-beta immunoactivity (sandwich ELISA) and bioactivity, respectively. The ELISA revealed a high mean plasma TGF-beta1 level (P < or = 0.05) in the low-protein group only, but TGF-beta bioactivity (beta1 isoform, although 15% beta2 in the restricted intake group) was high in both malnourished groups (8.7 and 9.3 ng/ml in the low-protein and restricted groups, respectively) relative to the age-matched control group (0.5 ng/ml). Thus, metabolically distinct weanling systems mimicking marasmus and incipient kwashiorkor both exhibit a blood cytokine profile that points to a tolerogenic microenvironment within immune response compartments. A model emerges in which malnutrition-associated immune competence, at least in advanced weight loss, centers on cytokine-mediated peripheral tolerance that reduces the risk of catabolically induced autoimmune disease, but this is at the cost of attenuated responsiveness to infectious agents.     

Response of the serotoninergic brain system to social stress of various duration in male mice C57BL/6J and CBA/Lac]

The effects of social stress caused by experience of defeats in mice during 3 or 10 consecutive days of intermale confrontations on serotonergic brain activity (5-HT, 5-HIAA levels and 5-HIAA/5-HT ratio) in some brain regions of CBA/Lac (CBA) and C57BL/6J (C57) inbred mice have been studied. It was revealed the significant changes in 5-HT methabolism in the brain regions of defeated mice (losers) of CBA strain after 3 intermale confrontations. However, after 10 days of social stress these changes (excluded amygdala) turned to the control measures testifying to the adaptive mechanisms of serotonergic system in CBA losers. In C57 strain, the three-day social stress produced the mild changes in the brain serotonergic activity both quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Nevertheless, losers subjected to ten-day intermale confrontations had more expressed changes in 5-HT, 5-HIAA levels of 5-HIAA/5-HT ratios in the brain regions studied. It seems that long lasting social stress induced the development of disbalance of the brain serotonergic activity in C57 losers: it was shown the hyperactivity in the hypothalamus and hypoactivity in the amygdala and nucl. accumbens. Apparently, this cause leads to the development of the pronounced anxiety shown earlier in this mouse strain.     

Evidence for Generation of Suppressor T Cells in Mycobacterium lepraemurium-Infected CBA/J Mice,a Mouse Strain Highly Susceptible to the Infection

Susceptibility to Mycobacterium lepraemurium (MLM) infection markedly differed between two mouse strains, CBA/J and C57BL/6. CBA/J mice showed high susceptibility to MLM infection and developed either very weak or no delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to MLM antigen after the injection of MLM. In contrast, C57BL/6 mice, which were resistant to MLM infection, showed significant DTH reaction to MLM antigen after the injection. Treatment of CBA/J mice with cyclophosphamide (Cy) conferred significant resistance to MLM infection on the CBA/J mice, and the treated mice developed a strong anti-MLM DTH response after the MLM injection. When spleen cells from MLM-infected CBA/J mice were transferred to Cy-treated and MLM-infected syngeneic mice, the anti-MLM DTH reaction of the recipient mice was suppressed. Treatment of the spleen cells to be transferred with anti-Thy-1.2 antibody or anti-I-J^k antiserum plus complement abrogated the suppressive activity. Thus, it is suggested that the high susceptibility of CBA/J mice to MLM infection is due to the generation of Cy-sensitive, I-J^k-positive suppressor T cells after infection with MLM.     

Tumour necrosis factor receptor deficiency alters anxiety-like behavioural and neuroendocrine stress responses of mice

Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is known to be involved in anxiety and the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. To examine the role of its receptors in neuroendocrine immunomodulation, we studied behaviour, corticosterone production and T-cell activation in mice with a C57BL/6J background and deficient for one or both TNF receptors (TNFR1-/-, TNFR2-/-, and TNFR1+2-/-) compared to wildtype C57BL/6J mice with and without psychological stress. Stress was induced by social disruption (SDR), and anxiety-like behaviour was examined using the elevated plus maze (EPM). Anxiety of unstressed TNFR1+2-/- mice was increased compared to C57BL/6J mice as shown by reduced ratios of entries into open arms relatively to total entries. SDR-stressed TNFR1+2-/- mice showed reduced ratios of entries into open arms relatively to total entries, reduced ratios of distances walked in open relatively to distances walked in both arms and reduced time in open arms compared to C57BL/6J mice. Locomotor activity of unstressed and SDR-stressed TNFR1-/- and TNFR2-/- mice was reduced. Serum corticosterone concentrations of control mice do not differ between mouse strains. However, TNFR1+2-/- mice had significantly higher corticosterone concentrations than C57BL/6J mice after SDR. EPM testing significantly increased corticosterone concentrations in all strains. Mitogen-induced activation-marker expression was reduced in TNFR1-/- T-helper cells under control and stress conditions, while activation marker expression of TNFR2-/- and TNFR1+2-/- cells was only slightly affected by stress compared to C57BL/6J T cells. Our study suggests that both TNF receptors contribute to anxiety-like behaviour and corticosterone responses, whereas TNFR1 has a larger impact on T-cell activation.
