PG - 1507-1517 LID - 10.3724/abbs.2022143 [doi] AB - Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays a crucial role in various inflammatory diseases. To reveal the impact of MCP-1 during diseases and to develop anti-inflammatory agents, we establish a transgenic mouse line. The firefly luciferase gene is incorporated into the mouse genome and driven by the endogenous MCP-1 promoter. A bioluminescence photographing system is applied to monitor luciferase levels in live mice during inflammation, including lipopolysaccharide-induced sepsis, concanavalin A-induced T cell-dependent liver injury, CCl (4)-induced acute hepatitis, and liver fibrosis. The results demonstrate that the luciferase signal induced in inflammatory processes is correlated with endogenous MCP-1 expression in mice. Furthermore, the expressions of MCP-1 and the luciferase gene are dramatically inhibited by administration of the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone in a septicemia model. Our results suggest that the transgenic MCP-1-Luc mouse is a useful model to study MCP-1 expression in inflammation and disease and to evaluate the efficiency of anti-inflammatory drugs in vivo.
