Abstract

The murine multiple drug resistance (mdr) gene, mdr1a, encodes a 170-kDa transmembrane protein that is expressed in many tissues including intestinal epithelial cells, a subset of lymphoid cells and hematopoietic cells. We report that mdr1a knockout (mdr1a−/−) mice are susceptible to developing a severe, spontaneous intestinal inflammation when maintained under specific pathogen-free animal facility conditions. The intestinal inflammation seen in mdr1a−/− mice has a pathology similar to that of human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is defined by dysregulated epithelial cell growth and leukocytic infiltration into the lamina propria of the large intestine. Treating mdr1a−/− mice with oral antibiotics can both prevent the development of disease and resolve active inflammation. Lymphoid cells isolated from mice with active colitis are functionally reactive to intestinal bacterial Ags, providing evidence that there is enhanced immunologic responsiveness to the normal bacterial flora during IBD. This study is the first description of spontaneous colitis in a gene knockout mouse with an apparently intact immune system. This novel model of spontaneous colitis may provide new insight into the pathogenesis of IBD, the nature of dysregulated immune reactivity to intestinal bacterial Ags, and the potential functional role of mdr genes expressed in the cells and tissues of the colonic microenvironment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
