Electrophysiological and Histological Study of Lysolecithin-Induced Local Demyelination in Adult Mice Optic Chiasm
Introduction: Demyelination is one of the main causes of neurological disability. It is the end product of numerous pathological processes, multiple sclerosis (MS) being the most common cause. More than 70% of the MS patients suffer from optic disturbances. This disease commonly affects the optic pathway, particularly the optic nerves and chiasm. Several attempts have been made to produce a ...
متن کاملVaccination for neuroprotection in the mouse optic nerve: implications for optic neuropathies.
T-cell autoimmunity to myelin basic protein was recently shown to be neuroprotective in injured rat optic nerves. In the present study, using the mouse optic nerve, we examined whether active immunization rather than passive transfer of T-cells can be beneficial in protecting retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from post-traumatic death. Before severe crush injury of the optic nerve, SJL/J and C3H.SW...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction as a cause of optic neuropathies.
Mitochondria are increasingly recognized as central players in the life and death of cells and especially of neurons. The energy-dependence of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and their axons, which form the optic nerve, is singularly skewed. In fact, while mitochondria are very abundant in the initial, unmyelinated part of the axons anterior to the lamina cribrosa, their number suddenly decreases ...
متن کاملNeurophysiological investigation in optic nerve disease: combined assessment of the visual evoked response and electroretinogram.
The electroretinogram (ERG) and the pattern visual evoked responses (VER) obtained from patients with suspected primary optic nerve lesions have been analysed. Patients with hereditary optic atrophy or optic nerve lesions with retinal disease or with systemic disorders were excluded from the analysis. According to the results of the ERG functions and VER, 83 patients with suspected primary opti...
متن کاملT cell immunity to copolymer 1 confers neuroprotection on the damaged optic nerve: possible therapy for optic neuropathies.
We recently reported that the posttraumatic spread of degeneration in the damaged optic nerve can be attenuated by the adoptive transfer of autoimmune T cells specific to myelin basic protein. However, it would be desirable to obtain immune neuroprotection free of any possible autoimmune disease. In an attempt to obtain disease-free immune neuroprotection, we used the synthetic four-amino acid ...
