Demyelination arrest and remyelination induced by glatiramer acetate treatment of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
The interplay between demyelination and remyelination is critical in the progress of multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In the present study, we explored the capacity of glatiramer acetate (GA, Copaxone) to affect the demyelination process and/or lead to remyelination in mice inflicted by chronic EAE, using both scanning electron micro...
متن کاملInhibition of acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in mice by colchicine
Colchicine was found to inhibit the clinical and histopathological manifestations of monophasic experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in mice. For inhibition of actively induced disease, inoculation of colchicine at the time of encephalitogenic challenge was found to be most effective. In adoptive transfer experiments, lymph node cells (LNC) from colchicine treated donors failed to transfer t...
متن کاملThe immunomodulator glatiramer acetate augments the expression of neurotrophic factors in brains of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice.
Neurotrophins (NTs) such as BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4 are important modulators of neuronal function and survival. Their expression in the CNS after various insults is thus of major therapeutic consequence. Glatiramer acetate [(GA) Copaxone], an approved drug for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, has been shown to induce Th2/3 cells that accumulate in the CNS, expressing in situ antiinflammatory c...
متن کاملnerve growth factor prevents demyelination, cell death and progression of the disease in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis
experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (eae), a demyelinating disease induced in the animals parallels multiple sclerosis in human in several aspects, provides a useful model to investigate multiple sclerosis. in this study, we have therefore used this model to study functions of nerve growth factor (ngf) in eae. ngf with considerable effects on neuron survival, proliferation and differentiati...
متن کاملMetabolomics approaches in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.
A myelin basic protein (MBP)-induced experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) involves paraplegia due to a reversible thoracolumbar spinal cord impairment. The aims of this study were thus to find significant metabolic biomarkers of inflammation and identify the site of inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS) during the acute signs in of the disease using metabolomics. All the EAE...
