We investigated the association of interleukin-12 (IL-12) with development of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice, and examined the effects of TJN-419, a synthetic compound derived from acteoside, on this process. Enhanced IL-12 production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages was dose-dependently inhibited by addition of TJN-419 to culture medium, and this effect was abolished by pretreatment with PD98059, an inhibitor of extracellular-regulated kinase. We then assessed the effect of TJN-419 or a neutralizing antibody against murine IL-12 in a DSS-induced colitis model in C57 BL/6 mice. Colitis was induced by 5% DSS solution given as drinking water. Treatment with the anti-IL-12 antibody was performed intravenously and TJN-419 was administered orally. We also investigated the effect of TJN-419 on erosion in the rectum in a DSS-induced colitis model in rat. The IL-12 level in the rectum was significantly enhanced and the IL-10 level was significantly decreased in animals with DSS-induced colitis compared with untreated controls. Intravenous injection of the anti-IL-12 antibody and oral administration of TJN-419 inhibited clinical symptoms in DSS-induced colitis. TJN-419 also inhibited the increase in IL-12 and suppressed the area of erosion in the rectum in DSS-induced colitis in rats. These results indicate that IL-12 has a possible role in development of DSS-induced colitis and that TJN-419 is effective for treatment of this disease model via inhibition of IL-12 production.

Treatment with monoclonal anti-IL-12 antibody injected on day 0, 7 and 10 after immunization with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) peptide 35-55 in NOD mice resulted in significant suppression of the development and the severity of the chronic relapsing-remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) both clinically and histologically. The spleen cells from anti-IL-12 antibody treated mice displayed markedly inhibited MOG35-55 specific proliferation and IFN-gamma production. MOG35-55 specific antibody production was enhanced by anti-IL-12 antibody treatment. These results suggest that IL-12 is critically involved in the pathogenesis of MOG-induced EAE and that antibody to IL-12 could be an effective therapeutic agent in the clinical treatment of autoimmune demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS).

In several models of inflammation, including collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), the disease-promoting effect of IL-12 has been attributed to its well-known ability to produce IFN-gamma. However, IFN-gamma receptor knockout (IFN-gammaR KO) mice of the DBA/1 strain have been reported to be more susceptible to CIA than corresponding wild-type mice, indicating the existence of an IFN-gamma-mediated protective pathway in this model. In the present study the development of CIA was found to be completely prevented by pretreatment with a neutralizing anti-IL-12 antibody, not only in wild-type, but significantly also in IFN-gammaR KO mice. In both strains of mice, the protective effect of anti-IL-12 was associated with lower production of anti-collagen type II antibodies. In vivo stimulation with anti-CD3 antibody in arthritic IFN-gammaR KO mice resulted in production of higher levels of circulating IFN-gamma, TNF and IL-2 than in corresponding control mice that had not received the arthritis-inducing immunization. This was not the case in arthritis-developing wild-type mice. Furthermore, the protective effect of anti-IL-12 antibody in mutant, but not in wild-type mice, was associated with lower circulating IFN-gamma, TNF and IL-2 and higher IL-4 and IL-5 cytokine levels following an anti-CD3 challenge. The data indicate that IL-12 promotes the development of arthritis independently of its ability to induce or favor production of IFN-gamma. In fact, any IFN-gamma produced in the course of the disease process rather exerts a protective effect. Furthermore, our study suggests that, in the absence of a functional IFN-gamma system, endogenous IL-12 exerts its disease-promoting effect by favoring production of other Th1-associated cytokines (IL-2 and TNF), by inhibiting development of IL-4- and IL-5-producing T cells and by stimulating production of anti-collagen autoantibodies.
