The aim of this study is to investigate changes in regulatory B cells (Bregs) and the expression of related cytokines such as interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β in a mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). A total 20 DBA/1 mice (6-8 weeks old) were randomly divided into control and CIA disease groups. For the CIA disease group, animals were injected intradermally with chicken collagen type II and complete Freund's adjuvant. The calculated arthritis index score of the CIA group was significantly higher than that in control group. Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed tumid synovial cells with irregular arrangement and obvious hyperplasia, with a high degree of inflammatory cell infiltration in CIA model group. Cytometric bead array technology and quantitative RT-PCR indicated that the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β in serum, and synovial cells were significantly increased in the CIA group. The proportion of Bregs in the spleen of the CIA group was significantly increased compared to the control group. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that the number of Bregs and the expression of TGF-β and IL-10 are enhanced in mice with CIA.
