Abstract in Portuguese
A artrite induzida por pristane (PIA) em camundongos HIII (resistentes) e LIII (suscetíveis) foi usada para estudar mecanismos inflamatórios e imunes atuantes na fase pré-clínica da doença, os quais são pouco conhecidos. Estudos anteriores mostraram diferenças significativas na produção de citocinas nos animais HIII e LIII na fase pré-clínica da PIA, sugerindo forte influênica no fenótipo de PIA. A PIA foi induzida apenas por via intraperitoneal nos animais LIII, com intensa infiltração de neutrófilos, linfócitos, monócitos e macrófagos, altos níveis de IL-12p40 e maior expressão de genes de citocinas inflamatórias após a injeção de pristane. Por outro lado, na linhagem HIII houve aumento de eosinófilos e neutrófilos, mas redução de monócitos e linfócitos. Não observamos diferenças nos níveis de TNF-α, IFN-g, IL-12p70, IL-17, IL-10. Concluímos que a intensidade e o tipo de resposta inflamatória na fase inicial da PIA podem ser mecanismos envolvidos na diferença de resistência/ susceptibilidade entre as linhagens HIII e LIII.

Abstract in English
Pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) in HIII (resistant) and LIII (susceptible) mice was used in this work to characterize the cellular and molecular alterations of the pre-clinical phase of the disease, of which little is known. Previous reports showed significant differences in cytokine production of HIII and LIII mice in the pre-clinical phase of PIA, suggesting a strong influence on PIA phenotype. PIA was induced only by the intraperitoneal route in LIII animals, which showed intense infiltration of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages, with high levels of IL-12p40 after pristane injection. Inflammatory cytokine genes were also upregulated in LIII mice. On the other hand, HIII strain had increased eosinophils and neutrophils, but reduced monocytes and lymphocytes. No significant differences were found in TNF-α, IFN-g, IL-12p70, IL-17, IL-10 levels. We conclude that the intensity and type of inflammatory response in the initial phase of PIA may be different mechanisms involved in resistance / susceptibility between HIII and LIII mice.
