PG - 235-42 LID - 10.1111/aji.12548 [doi] AB - PROBLEM: Regional difference in the inflammatory response in vasectomized (VAX) epididymis remains unraveled. METHOD OF STUDY: Epididymal expression of interleukin 1alpha (IL1alpha), IL1beta, IL1 receptor antagonist (IL1ra), IL1 receptor 1 (IL1R1), IL6, IL10, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) was examined in bilateral VAX mice by real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: IL1alpha, IL1beta, IL1ra, and IL1R1 were expressed in the epididymal epithelia of normal mice. Following VAX, IL1R1 mRNA was not changed, but TNF-alpha, IL10, IL1alpha, IL1beta, and IL1ra mRNA were significantly upregulated in whole epididymis, whereas IL6 and TGF-beta1 mRNA were significantly increased in corpus and cauda but not in caput epididymis. Consistently, IL1alpha, IL1beta, and IL1ra immunoreactivities were visibly increased in epididymis following VAX. CONCLUSION: Following VAX, IL1alpha, IL1beta, IL1ra, IL10, and TNF-alpha may mediate immune reaction in whole epididymis, whereas IL6 and TGF-beta1 may mediate regionally different immune response primarily in the lower part of epididymis.
