چکیده

Objective(s):Recent evidence have proposed that Tretinoin produced in the gut preferentially promote differentiation of FoxP۳+Treg cells but inhibits Th۱۷ lymphocytes, and this may be the main immunomdulatory mechanism of Tretinoin in vivo. This study was done to investigate the effects of Tretinoin in outbred white mice after challenge with sheep red blood cells (SRBC). Materials and Methods: Twenty male NMRI-mice randomly allocated in two equal groups. Mice were treated with ۱×۱۰۹ SRBCs emulsified in CFA intraperitoneally twice with one weak interval. Animals were bled ۵ days after last injection. Moreover, ۴۸ hr before bleeding time, ۱×۱۰۹ SRBCs were injected into the left hind foot pad of mice. Tretinoin (۲۵ mg/kg-every other day) were intraperitoneally injected into the treatment group from the beginning of the study and continued throughout the study. The levels of anti-SRBC antibody and the specific cellular immune responses were measured by microhemagglutination test and footpad thickness, respectively. Moreover, splenocytes were checked for proliferation rate, respiratory burst, cytokine production and FoxP۳+Treg cells frequency. Results: Tretinoin markedly alleviated cellular immunity and concurrently potentiated humoral immunity after mice challenge with SRBCs. Furthermore, aside from reducing NBT reduction and lymphocyte proliferation, Tretinoin markedly suppressed the secretion of interleukin-۱۷ and conversely, increased the production of interleukin-۱۰. However, the level of IFN-γ and the frequency of FoxP۳+Treg cells did not alter significantly. Conclusion: The in vivo immunomudlatoty effects of Tretinoin may be partly due to immune deviation from pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-۱۷ to anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-۱۰, but not absolutely depend on the expansion of FoxP۳+Treg cells.
