Dendritic cells (DC) are highly specialized antigen presenting cells that play critical roles as instigators and regulators of immune responses including B cell function, antibody synthesis and isotype switch. In this study, we compared immunotherapeutic effect of IL-10-treated DC (IL-10-DC) via both intraperitoneal (i.p.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) delivery in rats with incipient experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG). Spleen DC were isolated from onset of EAMG on day 39 post-immunization, exposed in vitro to IL-10, and then injected into incipient EAMG at dose of 1 x 10(6) cells/rat on day 5 after immunization. Intraperitoneal administration of IL-10-DC suppressed clinical scores, anti-acetylcholine receptors (AChR) antibody secreting cells, antigen-specific IL-10/IFN-gamma production and T cell proliferation compared to control EAMG rats. Importantly, IL-10-DC, if given by s.c. route, failed to ameliorate clinical sign of EAMG. Simultaneously, T cell proliferation, anti-AChR antibody secreting cells and IL-10/IFN-gamma production had no alteration, as compared to control EAMG rats. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that treatment of IL-10 inhibited the migration of DC toward MIP-3beta and lymph node, indicating that in vitro manipulation of DC with IL-10 alters the migration of DC that influences the therapeutic effect in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. In MG patients, neither the improvement of clinical symptom nor the alteration of immunological parameter was observed through s.c. delivery of IL-10-DC, suggesting the limitation of IL-10-DC in the treatment of MG patients.

D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D009157 Myasthenia Gravis A disorder of neuromuscular transmission characterized by fatigable weakness of cranial and skeletal muscles with elevated titers of ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS or muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) autoantibodies. Clinical manifestations may include ocular muscle weakness (fluctuating, asymmetric, external ophthalmoplegia; diplopia; ptosis; and weakness of eye closure) and extraocular fatigable weakness of facial, bulbar, respiratory, and proximal limb muscles. The disease may remain limited to the ocular muscles (ocular myasthenia). THYMOMA is commonly associated with this condition.

D011950 Receptors, Cholinergic Cell surface proteins that bind acetylcholine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholinergic receptors are divided into two major classes, muscarinic and nicotinic, based originally on their affinity for nicotine and muscarine. Each group is further subdivided based on pharmacology, location, mode of action, and/or molecular biology.
