Disease relevance of Mice, Inbred MRL lpr

 

High impact information on Mice, Inbred MRL lpr

  • MRL/lpr mice are particularly severely affected, and they develop a syndrome that is serologically and pathologically similar to human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [5].
  • Here we examine the use of inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) gamma, a lipid kinase that regulates inflammation, in the MRL-lpr mouse model of SLE [6].
  • An antagonist of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) inhibits arthritis in the MRL-lpr mouse model [7].
  • Spleen and peritoneal cells from MRL/lpr mice also produced significantly more nitric oxide (NO) than those from the control mice when cultured with interferon (IFN) gamma and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro [4].
  • It is striking that cells from MRL/lpr mice produced high concentrations of NO when cultured cells from MRL/+ or BALB/c mice [4].

Associations of Mice, Inbred MRL lpr with chemical compounds

  • Moreover, these alterations in host defense, including survival in response to lethal infection, could be ameliorated in MRL/lpr mice by the parenteral administration of a monoclonal antibody that neutralizes the activity of TGF-beta [23].
  • RESULTS: Diffuse proliferative GN, with deposition of IgG and C3, developed in both FcRgamma(-/-) and FcRgamma(+) MRL/lpr mice [24].
  • Second, cyclosporin A, which ameliorates GN in MRL/lpr mice despite autoantibody production, was found to reduce serum IgG3 and mRNA levels, associated with the revision of cationic shift of the serum IgG3 spectrotype seen in isoelectric focusing [25].
  • Because dexamethasone (Dex) alters Ia antigen expression and suppresses cytokine generation, the authors prophylactically treated MRL-lpr mice and investigated the relative importance of these molecules in inducing renal injury [26].
  • MRL/lpr mice fed a low-fat, calorically restricted diet from 5 months of age to death lived longer than mice which were fed ad libitum a cholesterol-containing, high-fat diet [10].
