Matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors in cuprizone-induced demyelination and remyelination of brain white and gray matter.

چکیده
Apart from their involvement in the pathogenesis of demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis, there is emerging evidence that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) also promote remyelination. We investigated region-specific expression patterns of 11 MMPs and 4 tissueinhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in the cuprizone murine demyelination model. Messenger RNA (mRNA) was extracted at different time points of exposure to cuprizone from microdissected samples of corpus callosum, cortex, and ex vivo isolated microglia and analyzedusing quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.Matrix metalloproteinase 12 and TIMP-1 mRNA were significantly upregulated versus age-matched controls in both areas during demyelination and remyelination. Matrix metalloproteinases 3, 11, and 14 mRNA were upregulated only in white matter during remyelination. Matrix metalloproteinase 24 mRNA was downregulated during both demyelination and remyelination. To identify potential cellular sources of the MMPs and TIMPs, we isolated microglia and detected high MMP-12and TIMP-2 mRNA upregulation at the peak of demyelination.By immunohistochemistry, MMP-3 protein was localized in astrocytes and MMP-12 was identified in microglia, astrocytes, and cells of oligodendrocyte lineage. These findings suggest that MMPs and TIMPs have roles in the regulation of demyelination and remyelination in thismodel. Moreover, differences in the expression levels of these genesbetween white and gray matter reveal region-specific molecularmechanisms.

Myelin is a component of the nervous system that is disrupted in multiple sclerosis, resulting in neuro-axonal degeneration. The longitudinal effect of chronic cuprizone-induced demyelination was investigated in the cerebral gray and white matter of treated mice and the spontaneous remyelination upon treatment interruption. Multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging and a Cryoprobe were used at 11.7...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes. One of its pathophysiological hallmarks is demyelination, a consequence of oligodendroglial cell death leading supply shortfall and missing electrical insulation to axons. Demyelination induced consequences on neuronal network activity and subsequen...

Cuprizone administration in mice provides a reproducible model of demyelination and spontaneous remyelination, and has been useful in understanding important aspects of human disease, including multiple sclerosis. In this study, we apply high spatial resolution quantitative MRI techniques to establish the spatio-temporal patterns of acute demyelination in C57BL/6 mice after 6 weeks of cuprizone...

Background: Progesterone as a sex steroid hormone is thought to affect and prevent demyelination, but its role in promoting myelin repair is far less investigated. In this study, remyelinating potential of progesterone in corpus callosum was evaluated on an experimental model of MS.Methods: In this experimental study, adult male C57BL/6 mice were fed with 0.2% (w/w) cuprizone in ground breeder ...
