摘要
The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenae (DF) is associated with idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity and several other distinct hypersensitivity reactions. The mechanism(s) are unknown but evidence suggests both cell-mediated and anti body-mediated immune effector systems may be involved. In the present studies, the immunostimulating potential of DF was evaluated using the direct and TNP-Ficoll (trinitrophenyl (TNP)-Ficoll) popliteal lymph node assays (PLNA). These assays were conducted in naive mice, T-cell-deficient mice, or in mice that had been pretreated with a single oral dose of DF. In naive mice, DF induced a dose-, and time-dependent reaction in the direct PLNA. A significant increase in popliteal lymph node (PLN) weight and PLN cellularity was detected 7 days after the injection of 0.50 and 0.75 mg DF, whereas 0.25 mg DF produced no observable effect. With 0.75 mg, there was a rapid accumulation of cells in the PLN between days 5 and 6, with maximum PLN cellularity observed between days 7 and 10. The immunostimulating effects of DF were significantly attenuated in T-cell-deficient mice. In the TNP-Ficoll PLNA conducted in naive mice, DF caused a dose-dependent increase in PLN cellularity on day 7 with a time-dependent increase in anti-TNP antibody forming cells (AFCs) in the PLN; the reaction was dominated by IgM anti-TNP AFCs from day 4 through day 7, but IgG(1) anti-TNP AFCs and IgG(3) anti-TNP AFCs were detected beginning on day 5 and day 6, respectively. Relative to mice pretreated with vehicle (ddH(2)O), mice orally pretreated with DF had a significantly greater increase in PLN weight 5 days following the injection of 0.25 mg DF and a significantly greater increase in PLN weight and cellularity 4 days following the injection of 0.50 mg DF. Oral pretreatment with DF had no observable effect on the direct PLN reaction induced following the footpad injection of the irrelevant drugs, D-penicillamine (D-PEN) or streptozotocin. When 0.50 mg DF was co-injected with TNP-Ficoll, mice orally pretreated with DF, compared to vehicle-pretreated mice, and had a significantly greater increase in IgM anti-TNP AFCs on day 4, and a significant increase in both IgG(1) and IgG(3) anti-TNP AFCs on day 7. Additionally, IgG(1) anti-TNP AFCs were detected in the PLN of DF-pretreated mice as early as day 4. No differences in anti-TNP AFCs were detected when orally pretreated mice were injected with 0.50 mg D-PEN. Collectively, these results demonstrated that DF (i) is an immunostimulating drug that induced a dose-, time- and T-cell-dependent PLN reaction in naive mice, (ii) provided non-cognate help that produced antibody against co-injected TNP-Ficoll, and (iii) mice orally pretreated with DF had DF-specific increased responsiveness in the direct PLNA, which (iv) resulted in accelerated and augmented AFC production against co-injected TNP-Ficoll. These novel findings suggest that oral administration of DF may result in primed T cells that respond with footpad injection. Thus, the oral pretreatment modification of the PLNA should be further explored as a possible alternative to hypersensitivity testing with drugs administered via the oral route. Additional studies with other compounds known to produce hypersensitivity reactions are needed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
