Blood concentrations of the cytokines IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma during experimentally induced swine dysentery

Abstract: Background: Knowledge of the cytokine response at infection with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae can help understanding disease mechanisme involved during swine dysentery. Since this knowledge is still limited the aim of the present study was to induce dysentery experimentally in pigs and to monitor the development of important immunoregulatory cytokines in blood collected at various stages of the disease.

“…Levels of IL-10 also reflect the severity of Salmonella infection in mice [49]. In contrast, increased levels of IL-10 in blood coincided with recovery from experimentally induced swine dysentery [50]. In this study, IL-10 was not found in any intestinal sample.…”

“…In order to determine how factors from the immune system change in the pig colon during B. hyodysenteriae infection, we quantified the mRNA levels of 13 factors from the immune system, IL-1␤, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-13, IL-17A, tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-␣), gamma interferon (IFN-␥), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and neutrophil elastase (NE), by quantitative PCR (qPCR). These factors were chosen based on previous reports from experimental trials (13), associations with mucin production (5,(14)(15)(16), and/or in relation to histopathological findings, such as the neutrophilic infiltration observed in infected pigs (12). The colons of B. hyodysenteriae-infected pigs had a 7-fold increase in mRNA levels of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-17A compared to healthy controls (P ϭ 0.017) (Fig.…”

“…response in the pig colon during SD, and only systemic levels of several proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1␤, TNF-␣, and IL-6, have been reported for pigs after experimental inoculation with B. hyodysenteriae (13). From our observations in the colon tissue of B. hyodysenteriae-infected pigs, we determined a predominant increase in the mRNA levels of IL-17A, followed by increases in IL-1␤, IL-6, and IL-8 gene expression compared to the control pigs.…”

“…IL-10 down-regulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and generally protects the animal from systemic inflammation [13]. The stimulatory effect of IL-10 on B cells can enhance antibody production and induce Ig-class switching and plasma cell differentiation [14]. Increased amounts of IL-10 inhibit the action of monocytes, macrophages, and NK cells during the immune response to viral infection and inhibit the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines [12].…”
