چکیده

objective(s): multiple sclerosis (ms) is a serious neurological autoimmune disease, it commonly affects young adults. vitamin e (vit e) is an important component of human diet with antioxidant activity, which protects the body’s biological systems. in order to assess the effect of vit e treatment on this autoimmune disease, we established experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae), the animal model of ms, and treated eae with α-tocopherol (at) which is the main content of vit e. materials and methods:twenty c57bl/6 adult female mice were used and divided into two groups randomly. eae was induced with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (mog), and one group was treated with at, at a dose of 100 mg/kg on the 3th day post-immunization with mog, the other group was treated with 1% alcohol. mice were euthanized on day 14, post-immunization, spleens were removed for assessing splenocytes proliferation and cytokine profile, and spinal cords were dissected to assess the infiltration of inflammatory cells in spinal cord. results:at was able to attenuate the severity of eae and delay the disease progression. h&e; staining and fast blue staining indicated that at reduced the inflammation and the demyelination reaction in the spinal cord. treatment with at significantly decreased the proliferation of splenocytes. at also inhibited the production of ifn-γ (th1 cytokine), though the other cytokines were only affected slightly. conclusion:according to the results, at ameliorated eae, through suppressing the proliferation of t cells and the th1 response. at may be used as a potential treatment for ms.

Eriocalyxin B ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by suppressing Th1 and Th17 cells.

Eriocalyxin B (EriB), a diterpenoid isolated from Isodon eriocalyx, was previously reported to have antitumor effects via multiple pathways, and these pathways are related to immune responses. In this study, we demonstrated that EriB was efficacious in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for multiple sclerosis. Treatment with EriB led to amelioration of EAE, which c...

Vitamin D3 influence the Th1/Th2 ratio in C57BL/6 induced model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Objective(s): Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is known as a progressive inflammatory CNS disease. Cytokines belong to Th1 or Th2 family and inflammatory cells, play significant role in pathophysiology of MS. Thus, any treatment supposed to influence the relation between Th1 to Th2 cytokines expression. Although vitamin D has been prescribed as a therapeutic supplement of MS for a long time, it is not c...

Blocking GluR2–GAPDH ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

OBJECTIVE Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological disease of young adults. The pathophysiological mechanism of MS remains largely unknown and no cure is available. Current clinical treatments for MS modulate the immune system, with the rationale that autoimmunity is at the core of MS pathophysiology. METHODS Experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) was induced in m...

Silencing microRNA-155 ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

IFN-γ-producing Th1 and IL-17-producing Th17 cells are the key participants in various autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Although both of these T cell subsets are known to be regulated by specific transcription factors and cytokines, the role of microRNAs that control these two inflammatory T cell subsets and...
