Pericholangitis in a rabbit colitis model induced by injection of muramyl dipeptide emulsified with a long-chain fatty acid
Tóm tắt
Rabbit colitis has been induced by injection of muramyl dipeptide emulsified with a long-chain fatty acid. The muramyl dipeptide emulsion was injected submucosally at six portions of the rectum and colon, 10cm proximal to the anus, using a flexible endoscope. Six rabbits were injected six times every 2 weeks and subsequently killed 2 weeks after the last injection. The histological changes of the colon that occurred in all 6 rabbits were mononuclear cell and histocyte infiltration with sporadic eosinophils, transmural infiltration, and well-maintained goblet cell populations. These changes were different in degree. In 4 of 6 rabbits histological examination of the liver showed pericholangitis and periductal fibrosis mimicking the pericholangitis frequently seen in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Fibrosis bridging between the portal and portal veins occurred in 2 rabbits, and noncaseating granuloma was seen in 1 rabbit. These histological changes in our model have led to the suggestion that continuous stimulation with bacterial cell wall fragments may be involved in chronic intestinal inflammation and extraintestinal manifestations such as pericholangitis.
