Abstract:
:Administration of mercuric chloride (HgCl(2)) to Brown Norway rats causes Th2-dominated autoimmunity with raised immunoglobulin E concentrations and gut vasculitis, both of which are T-cell dependent, peak at 14 days after starting HgCl(2) and then spontaneously resolve. If animals are re-challenged with HgCl(2) 6 weeks after initial exposure, they are resistant to autoimmunity, developing only attenuated disease. Recently, a separate phase of early caecal vasculitis was described beginning 24 h after initiating HgCl(2) and prior to caecal entry of T cells. Previous work suggested this early vasculitis was alpha beta T-cell independent and implied a role for mast cells. We further tested this hypothesis by performing a histological study during the first 93 h following HgCl(2) challenge defining the precise relationship between gut mast cell degranulation and appearing caecal vasculitis. We also studied whether early caecal vasculitis enters a resistant phase upon re-challenge with HgCl(2). We show a direct correlation between mast cell degranulation and early caecal vasculitis following initial HgCl(2) challenge. We demonstrate resistance to re-challenge in this phase of injury, with results at re-challenge also showing a correlation between mast cell degranulation and early caecal injury.
