    Notes: Abstract Study of an animal model for inflammatory bowel disease would greatly facilitate our understanding of this disease in man for which neither the exact pathogenesis nor specific treatment has been elucidated. The cotton-top tamarin is such a potential spontaneously occurring model in which the colitis has similarities to that of man. To justify the use of this model, sufficient similarity must be shown to exist. Using a battery of antibodies to assess binding in material from both tamarins and humans, we show that sufficient overlap of expression exists to justify continued study of the tamarin as the definitive model for human inflammatory bowel disease.

    Notes: Abstract To evaluate anti-colitic efficacy, eight cotton-top tamarins (CTTs) with histologically confirmed persistent active colitis were given the anti-inflammatory agent SC-41930 (10 mg/kg BW by gavage BID) for eight weeks. Colonic endoscopy and biopsy observations, CBCs and clinical chemistries, and stool consistency were evaluated pre-, mid-, and posttreatment. Colitic activity was graded histologically from A1 (mild) to A5 (severe); results varied among the seven animals that completed the study: five improved, one worsened, and one was unchanged. Serum enzyme levels were significantly reduced with treatment. Stool condition remained puddly throughout treatment and body weights did not vary from pretreatment levels. However, SC-41930 produced histological evidence (reduced numbers of polymorphonuclear cells) of anti-colitic efficacy over an eight-week treatment period in CTTs with persistent active colitis. These results support the use of the CTT colitis model to evaluate efficacy of therapeutic agents and provide useful predictive information to aid in the medical management of human IBD.

    Notes: Abstract DNA analysis was performed on paraffin-embedded colon biopsies from tamarins before, during, and after acute colitis episodes. No difference was noted between the coefficients of variation of diploid populations from active and chronic colitic regions. Rates of proliferation varied significantly among animals and sites of biopsy; no correlation however was noted between proliferation rates and the presence of active colitis. An aneuploid population was observed in a past colitis specimen. Continuing longitudinal studies will assess the significance of elevated proliferation rates and aneuploidy for early development of malignancy.

    Anti-inflammatory activity of the leukotriene B4 receptor antagonist, SC-41930, in colitic cotton-top tamarins (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Cotton-top tamarins (CTTs) with histologically confirmed persistent and active colitis were given the leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonist, SC-41930, (10 mg/kg BW, by gavage b.i.d.) for eight weeks. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by colonic biopsy, stool consistency and the level of the lipid mediators LTB4 and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in rectal dialysates. Stool consistency did not improve with treatment but did not worsen. Blood chemistry (ALT, AST, LDH) and hematological parameters neither showed any untoward effects of SC-41930 treatment nor was there any effect on body weight. In rectal dialysate LTB4 levels were significantly reduced from pretreatment level of 4.87±1.46 ng/ml to 1.07±0.67 and 2.45±0.13 ng/ml at 4 and 8 weeks, respectively, and higher prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) over time. Histologically, 5/7 improved, 1/7 remained the same and 1/7 worsened. Oral SC-41930 treatment was safe and associated with an anti-colitic effect. The reduced LTB4 levels (affecting granulocyte degranulation and recruitment into tissues) and increased PGE2 (perhaps exerting a mucosal protective effect) may, in part explain the observed efficacy of this compound in active tamarin colitis. Use of the CTT model could provide insight into the inflammatory mediator contribution to idiopathic colitis and serve as a useful bridge between preclinical pharmacology and the assessment of these compounds in the medical management of human inflammatory bowel disease.

    Pathogenesis of spontaneous idiopathic colitis in cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) (1994)

    Notes: Abstract The pathogenesis of cotton-top tamarin (CTT) spontaneous idiopathic ulcerative colitis was investigated. A 6-yr examination (endoscopy and mucosal biopsy) of forty 4- to 7-yr-old CTTs at 2- to 3-month intervals has shown that CTT spontaneous colitis resembles the human disease in its time course, age dependence, varying periods of exacerbation and remission, and eventual susceptibility of the animal to colon cancer. Considerable animal-to-animal variation existed, as is seen in humans. Active colitis (increased PMNs) was superimposed upon chronic (inactive) colitis and occurred either asymptomatically or symptomatically. While age had little effect on body weight and stool condition, the severity of the colitis (mild vs. severe) and the duration of the disease dramatically affected both CTT body weight and stool condition. Spontaneous CTT colitis closely mimics pathogenesis of the human disease and further demonstrates its validity as an animal model; the model also offers promise of helping afflicted human patients through targeted therapeutics.

    Extraintestinal manifestations of cotton-top tamarin colitis (1994)

    Notes: Abstract A feature of human ulcerative colitis is the occurrence of extraintestinal manifestations of the disease: ankylosing spondylitis, peripheral arthropathy, iritis, iridoconjunctivitis, episcleritis and liver diseases (fatty liver, mild periportal chronic inflammation, and sclerosing cholangitis). More rarely, cholangiocarcinoma, hepatic abscesses, or cirrhosis are seen. The cotton-top tamarin (CTT) develops a noninfective spontaneously occurring colitis which closely resembles human ulcerative colitis clinically, endoscopically, histologically, and in response to treatment. This study evaluated liver and joint disease in CTTs with colitis. Livers from 100 cotton-top tamarins with ulcerative colitis were examined histologically at postmortem; 40 had varied pathology: steatosis (16), hepatitis (4), and abscess (4). Four animals had excessive portal fibrosis in the absence of significant inflammation and which resembled sclerosing cholangitis. Neither skeletal radiographs of 217 CTTs, including 43 that were 〉10 yr of age, nor histological examination of synovia from 10 knees, showed abnormalities. The findings of sclerosing cholangitis-like liver abnormalities strengthen the role of the CTT as a unique animal model of human ulcerative colitis.

    Notes: Abstract Use of the CTT model provides insight into the inflammatory mediator contribution in the pathogenesis of idiopathic colitis. To evaluate anti-colitic efficacy, the leukotriene B4 receptor antagonist and anti-inflammatory agent, SC-41930, was administered (10 mg/kg BW by gavage BID) for 8 weeks to CTTs with histologically confirmed persistent and defined active colitis. The inflammatory mediators LTB4, PGE2, TXB2, and PAF were assayed in colonic dialysate that was collected after 11/2 h from four CTTs pre-, mid-, and post-treatment, frozen at −70°C, and analyzed by RIA after HPLC purification. LTB4 levels were lower at mid- and post-treatment and had little inter-animal variation post-treatment. PGE2 and PAF levels were elevated during SC-41930 treatment, but there was a trend towards lower thromboxane B2 levels. Reduced LTB4 (PMN degranulation and chemotaxis) and increased PGE2 (mucosal-protective effect) may, in part, explain the observed efficacy of SC-41930 in active tamarin colitis.

    Notes: Abstract Spontaneous colitis in CTT's presents cytological characteristics similar to chronic ulcerative colitis in humans, e.g. inflammatory cell infiltrate and crypt abscesses. To better characterize CTT colitis as a potential model for human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), inflammatory mediators identified in colonic tissue of human IBD patients and/or experimental colitis models were assayed. Inflammatory mediator changes in plasma and colon from tamarins with acute (n=10) and chronic (n=10) colitis (by mucosal biopsy) were assayed by RIAs. Similar inflammatory mediators were found in the CTT's with acute colitis. In the plasma, PAF and PGE2 levels were lower in acute colitis CTT's, no LTB4 was detected, and histamine levels were not different from chronic colitic animals. In the colon, myeloperoxidase and interleukin-1β were significantly higher in acute colitis, PGE2 and LTB4 were higher but not significantly, and PAF was not different from chronic CTT's. These data suggest that a combination of events are occurring in the pathogenesis of tamarin colitis that involves some of the same mediators that are found in the human disease and in other experimental models. The importance of these findings to human IBD remains for further investigation; however, the spontaneous primate model offers an exciting approximation of the disease development and merits further investigation for understanding the pathogenesis of human IBD as well as to aid in development of targeted therapeutics.
