The etiology of sarcoidosis is unknown. In this study, Propionibacterium acnes (PA) was used to induce sarcoidosis-like granulomatous inflammation in a mouse model. Wild-Type (WT) C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups: (1) WT-PA group; (2) WT-PA + Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant (IFA) group; and (3) WT-PBS group. Loose granuloma formation was observed in the lungs on day 56 in the WT-PA and WT-PA + IFA groups. The proportions of peripheral Th17 cells in the WT-PA (p = 0.0004) and WT-PA + IFA groups (p = 0.0005) were significantly higher than that in the WT-PBS group. The proportions of peripheral Treg cells in the WT-PA (p < 0.0001) and WT-PA + IFA groups (p < 0.0001) were lower than that in the WT-PBS group. Then, to explore the mechanism of IL-17, Wild-Type (WT) C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups: (1) WT-PBS group (2) WT-PA group; (3) WT-PA + mouse IL-17A neutralizing antibody (IL-17Ab) group. IL-17A gene knockout mice (KO) were divided into two groups: (1) KO -PA group; (2) KO-PBS group. The KO-PA and WT-PA + IL-17Ab groups showed reduced inflammation and no loose granuloma formation on day 56. As compared to the WT-PA group, the ratio of peripheral Th17 in the KO-PA (p < 0.0001) and WT-PA + IL-17Ab groups (p < 0.0001) decreased, while the ratio of peripheral Treg in the KO-PA (p < 0.0001) and WT-PA + IL-17Ab (p = 0.0069) groups increased on day 56. Hence, PA can be used to establish a mouse model of sarcoidosis-like granuloma. IL-17A plays an important role in experimental sarcoidosis-like granuloma formation.

D017565 Sarcoidosis, Pulmonary Sarcoidosis affecting predominantly the lungs, the site most frequently involved and most commonly causing morbidity and mortality in sarcoidosis. Pulmonary sarcoidosis is characterized by sharply circumscribed granulomas in the alveolar, bronchial, and vascular walls, composed of tightly packed cells derived from the mononuclear phagocyte system. The clinical symptoms when present are dyspnea upon exertion, nonproductive cough, and wheezing.
