Influence of muramyl dipeptide on established experimental arthritis in rats.

Résumé

The effects of MDP, a potent inducer of cytokines, were studied in four batches of Wistar Furth rats with established experimental arthritis. Arthritic rats were given a daily sc injection of 10, 100, 200 or 400 micrograms MDP respectively. Muramyl dipeptide increased the severity of clinical events in a dose-dependent manner, with the exception of the 10 micrograms dose which was ineffective. The levels of anti-collagen antibodies were not however significantly enhanced by MDP. Radiological lesions and histological changes were maximal at high dosage regimens. Paradoxically, the acute phase reactive alpha 1 glycoprotein was little affected by MDP treatment.
