Figure Legend Snippet: Scheme of the experiment: One cohort of nine-week-old MRL/lpr mice was administered with IFNα- or saline-carrying osmotic pump (IFNα-induced response) on day −2, followed by the retro-orbital administration of Ad-klk1 or Ad-gfp vector on day 0. The spontaneous cohort received Ad-klk1 or control ( Ad-gfp ) vector only. Behavioral studies were performed on day 15, and the mice were sacrificed on day 17 to collect the brain, spleen, kidneys, and blood.
Techniques Used: Saline, Plasmid Preparation, Control
Figure Legend Snippet: Tissue Klk1 suppresses Type I IFN responses through IFNAR1, BRs, and PAR2 and reduces depressive-like behavior in the MRL/lpr lupus-prone mice: The present study demonstrates that tissue Klk1 administration reduces IFNα, IFNAR1, JAK1, and IRF7, consequently suppressing IRG expression. Our previous study has shown a reduction in signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) phosphorylation (shown in blue color) following bradykinin (BK) administration, which, along with other pathway proteins (shown in grey color), will be studied in detail in the future. We observed a consequential reduction in the levels of tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2, a rate-limiting enzyme in serotonin biosynthesis), serotonin (5-HT), serotonin transporter (5-HTT), and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (HTR2A, a serotonin receptor). We also observed depressive-like behaviors in MRL/lpr mice. Alleviation of inflammatory and IFN responses may be mediated via the alteration in BK receptors (B1R and B2R) and protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) expression; the mechanisms need to be studied in detail (indicated with dashed arrows). The therapeutic effects of Klk1 are shown in green notation, and SLE and NPSLE pathogenesis are represented in red notation.
