چکیده

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis is a T cell-mediated demyelinating disease of the CNS that serves as a model for the human disease multiple sclerosis. Increased expression of the chemokine CCL2 in the CNS has been demonstrated to be important in the development of demyelinating disease presumably by attracting inflammatory cells. However, the mechanism of how CCL2 regulates disease pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Using radiation bone marrow chimeric mice we demonstrated that optimum disease was achieved when CCL2 was glia derived. Furthermore, CNS production of CCL2 resulted in the accumulation of iNOS-producing CD11b(+)CD11c(+) dendritic cells and TNF-producing macrophages important for demyelination. Lack of glial-derived CCL2 production did not influence experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by altering either Th1 or Th17 cells, as there were no differences in these populations in the CNS or periphery between groups. These results demonstrate that the glial-derived CCL2 is important for the attraction of TNF- and iNOS-producing dendritic cells and effector macrophages to the CNS for development of subsequent autoimmune disease.

Background: Falciparum malaria is a severe health burden worldwide. Antigen presenting cells are reported to be affected by erythrocytic stage of the parasite. Malarial hemozoin (HZ), a metabolite of malaria parasite, has adjuvant properties and may play a role in the induction of immune response against the parasite. Objective: To determine the immunological impact of hemozoin on the capacity ...

Liver Damage and Mortality in a Male Lewis Rat of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

Background and Objectives: Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. This is due to migration of peripherally activated lymphocytes to central nervous system leading to inflammatory lesions. However, liver has an anti-inflammatory microenvironment. Myelin expression in the liver of transgenic mice suppresses inflammatory lesions within central nervous system. ...

Licensing of myeloid cells promotes central nervous system autoimmunity and is controlled by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ.

During central nervous system autoimmunity, interactions between infiltrating immune cells and brain-resident cells are critical for disease progression and ultimately organ damage. Here, we demonstrate that local cross-talk between invading autoreactive T cells and auto-antigen-presenting myeloid cells within the central nervous system results in myeloid cell activation, which is crucial for d...

Immunomodulatory Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Multiple Sclerosis and Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis: A Review Study

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that may lead to disability of the patient. Current MS treatment regimens are still insufficient and research is conducted for developing more effective therapies capable of targeting neurodegeneration, inflammation, and demyelination. Recent results of experimental and clinical studies in ...
