Resumen:
Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a sterile inflammation triggered by a distal mucosal infection, which suggests a contribution from bacterial products. Investigation on the pathogenesis of ReA is difficult because of the limited studies that can be performed in humans; therefore the availability of animal models is crucial. We hereby describe a murine model for studying the early stages of Salmonella-induced ReA. BALB/c mice infected by the natural route with a sublethal dose of S. Enteritidis showed long lasting gut inflammation, synovitis in the knee joint and a significant increase of CD4þ lymphocytes in the draining popliteal lymph nodes. S. Enteritidis infection induced histological changes in intact knees and exacerbated inflammation in previously damaged joints. Experiments performed with S. Enteritidis DinvG mutant suggest that the proinflammatory signalling mediated by Salmonella TTSS-1 in the gut is required for the induction of joint sequelae. Since this model is highly reproducible and easy to perform, it provides great potential for investigating both host and bacterial contributions to the early stages of ReA.Salmonella-induced ReA.
