ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Stimulation of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) induces autoimmune-mediated pancreatitis in susceptible mice, whereas stimulation of TLR4 causes nonautoimmune-mediated pancreatitis. However, the effects of TLR2 stimulation on the pancreas are unknown.AIMS:
We investigated the role of TLR2 stimulation on pancreatic damage by repeatedly stimulating mice with TLR2 ligands.METHODS:
Wild-type (WT) and interleukin 10-deficient (IL-10-knockout (KO)) mice were administered zymosan and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) intraperitoneally at various doses twice weekly for 4 weeks. Syngeneic T-cell-deficient mice, B-cell-deficient mice, recombination activating gene 2-deficient (RAG2-KO) mice and RAG2-KO mice that had been reconstituted with CD4+ or CD8+ T cells isolated from WT mice were treated with zymosan similarly. Mice were killed, the severity of pancreatitis was graded histologically, and serum cytokine levels were measured.RESULTS:
Repeated administration of zymosan induced pancreatitis dose dependently in both WT and IL-10-KO mice. Administration of LTA induced pancreatitis only in IL-10-KO mice. Adoptive transfer of splenocytes obtained from IL-10-KO mice with pancreatitis did not cause pancreatitis in recipient RAG2-KO mice. Pancreatitis was scarcely observed in RAG2-KO mice and was attenuated in T-cell-deficient and B-cell-deficient mice compared with WT mice. A single administration of zymosan significantly increased the serum level of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) in WT mice.CONCLUSIONS:
Repeated stimulation of TLR2 and dectin-1 induced nonautoimmune-mediated pancreatitis in mice. Participation of acquired immunity seems to play an important role in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis in association with the increase in serum MCP-1 level.Palabras clave
