To clarify the mechanisms of action of immunoglobulin (IgG) in intravenous immunoglobulin therapy for the ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, we studied the therapeutic effect of IgG on experimental rat colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium and on the production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF alpha, IL-1 alpha and IL-8. The administration of rat IgG demonstrated to suppress the development of blood stool and the induction of the ulcerative lesion in large intestine. The levels of TNF alpha, IL-1 alpha and IL-8 were increased in blood and mucosa of the large intestine in this model. Rat IgG showed a tendency to decrease the levels of the cytokines in colonic mucosa. This result seems to provide a piece of explanation of how massive administration of IgG shows an improvement in the ulcerative lesion of UC patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007142 Immunoglobulin gamma-Chains Heavy chains of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G having a molecular weight of approximately 51 kDa. They contain about 450 amino acid residues arranged in four domains and an oligosaccharide component covalently bound to the Fc fragment constant region. The gamma heavy chain subclasses (for example, gamma 1, gamma 2a, and gamma 2b) of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN G isotype subclasses (IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B) resemble each other more closely than the heavy chains of the other IMMUNOGLOBULIN ISOTYPES.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
D016264 Dextran Sulfate Long-chain polymer of glucose containing 17-20% sulfur. It has been used as an anticoagulant and also has been shown to inhibit the binding of HIV-1 to CD4-POSITIVE T-LYMPHOCYTES. It is commonly used as both an experimental and clinical laboratory reagent and has been investigated for use as an antiviral agent, in the treatment of hypolipidemia, and for the prevention of free radical damage, among other applications.

D016756 Immunoglobulins, Intravenous Immunoglobulin preparations used in intravenous infusion, containing primarily IMMUNOGLOBULIN G. They are used to treat a variety of diseases associated with decreased or abnormal immunoglobulin levels including pediatric AIDS; primary HYPERGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA; SCID; CYTOMEGALOVIRUS infections in transplant recipients, LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA, CHRONIC; Kawasaki syndrome, infection in neonates, and IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA.
