Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the arthritogenicity of Yersinia enterocolitica O:8 and O:5 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administered separately as single antigens in hamsters. METHODS: Male hamsters of the Syria strain were intramuscularly injected into each of the hind paws with two doses of Y. enterocolitica LPS O:8 or O:5. The measurement of swelling using a plethysmometer, the analysis of histological changes by routine techniques and the kinetics of LPS-specific antibodies and autoantibodies evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed. RESULTS: LPS O:8 was demonstrated to be more arthritogenic than LPS O:5, inducing acute arthritis on day 3 post-injection as well as more significant and longer lasting joint swelling after a second dose. LPS O:8 caused severe histopathological changes in the joints. Important LPS O:8-specific IgG responses and antibodies against type I and II collagen were observed. CONCLUSION: LPS O:8 administered alone has arthritogenic power and induces activation of autoreactive clones. This study supports the key role of LPS in the development of reactive arthritis.
