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 ...
متن کاملInhibition of NR2B-Containing N-methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors (NMDARs) in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis, a Model of Multiple Sclerosis
Neurodegeneration is the pathophysiological basis for permanent neurological disabilities in multiple sclerosis (MS); thus neuroprotection is emerging as a therapeutic approach in MS research. Modulation of excitotoxicity by inhibition of NMDARs has been suggested for neuroprotection, but selective antagonisation of the NR2B subtype of these receptors, a subtype believed to play a more pivotal ...
متن کاملSimultaneous neuroprotection and blockade of in ̄ammation reverses autoimmune encephalomyelitis
In multiple sclerosis, the immune system attacks the white matter of the brain and spinal cord, leading to disability and/or paralysis. Myelin, oligodendrocytes and neurons are lost due to the release by immune cells of cytotoxic cytokines, autoantibodies and toxic amounts of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model that exhib...
متن کاملEffects of Coenzyme Q10 on the ratio of TH1/TH2 in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Model of Multiple Sclerosis in C57BL/6
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is known as a progressive central nervous system inflammatory disease. Certain factors, such as interleukins, inflammatory cells, and oxidative stress are supposed to involve in MS etiology. Because of the important role of oxidative stress, antioxidant therapy for MS has received more attention. Although coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) acts as an antioxidant, there is ...
متن کاملO 8: Tenasin-C as a New Target for Multiple Sclerosis Treatment
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease, which is characterized by demyelination and neuroinflammation. Extracellular Matrix (ECM) have important role in the central nervous system (CNS). Alterations are happening to the ECM after the CNS disorder like MS, Alzheimer and other neural injury. Tenasin-C (TnC) is a glycoprotein that is highly expressed in inflammatory conditions of the CNS...
