Abstract:
PURPOSE:MRL-lpr/lpr mice, a model for various autoimmune diseases, were repeatedly irradiated with 0.5 Gy of gamma-rays, and changes in their autoimmune manifestations were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS:MRL-lpr/lpr mice at 13 weeks of age were maintained in plastic cages and exposed whole-body to 0.5 Gy gamma-ray irradiation from a 137Cs source 5 times per week for 4 weeks, from the time they were 13 weeks old until they reached 17 weeks old. Changes of autoimmune manifestations were examined 3 weeks later at the 20th week. RESULTS:Splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and proteinuria in MRL-lpr/lpr mice were clearly ameliorated by a total dose of 10 Gy (0.5 Gy/day x 5 days/week for 4 weeks). Histologically severe disease-specific damage to the kidney and the salivary gland, i.e., glomerulonephritis and sialoadenitis, was also improved after irradiation. CD3+ CD4- CD8- CD45R/B220+ T cell numbers, which proliferate abnormally in MRL-lpr/lpr mice, were significantly decreased by the irradiation, possibly through induction of apoptosis. The elevated NO2- and NO3- (NO(x-) production by macrophages of MRL-lpr/lpr mice was lowered by the irradiation. The irradiation also prolonged the life span of MRL-lpr/lpr mice. These phenomena may contribute to the amelioration of autoimmune manifestations in MRL-lpr/lpr mice exposed to repeated small-doses of gamma-rays. CONCLUSIONS:Repeated small-dose gamma-ray exposure ameliorates the autoimmune manifestations in MRL-lpr/lpr model mice.
