Effective combination of methylprednisolone and interferon β-secreting mesenchymal stem cells in a model of multiple sclerosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methylprednisolone (MP) has been recommended as a standard drug in MS therapies. We previously demonstrated that IFNβ-secreting human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs-IFNβ) exert immunomodulatory effects in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitic (EAE) mice. In this study, we evaluated whether a combined treatment of MP and MSCs-IFNβ had enhanced therapeutic effects on EAE mice. The combination treatment resulted in enhanced immunomodulatory effects, including reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased production of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, our results provide a framework for designing novel experimental protocols to enhance the therapeutic effects of existing MS treatments.

P 140: Stem Cells in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Inflammation caused by immune cells destroy the myelin and then axon. CNS failure to complete repair results in permanent disabilities. Some types of stem cells have special potentials to repair these injuries and even cure MS. Neural crest stem cells with a mutual origin with CNS and the ability of differen...

The complexity of multiple sclerosis (MS) and the incompetence of a large number of promise treatments in MS urge us to plan new and more effective therapeutic approaches that aim to suppress ongoing autoimmune responses and induction of local endogenous regeneration. Emerging data propose that hematopoietic, mesenchymal and neural stem cells have the potential to restore self-tolerance, to pro...
