From: Brown adipose tissue ameliorates autoimmune arthritis via inhibition of Th17 cells
Transplantation of normal brown adipose tissue reduces tissue damage, inflammation, and development of experimental rheumatoid arthritis. (A) Schematic representation of the experiments. (B) Epididymal white adipose tissues (eWAT), normal brown adipose tissues (normal BAT) and collagen-induced arthritis mice-derived BAT (CIA BAT) were presented. (C) Reductions of arthritis score and arthritis incidence were observed in normal BAT-transplanted CIA mice. (D) Histological features of the joints were stained with hematoxylin/eosin and Safranin O. (E) The histological score of bone damage, inflammation and cartilage damage were presented. *P < 0.05. Scale bars = 100 µm.
