abstract

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 suitable model of demyelination in optic apparatus up to now. methods: local demyelination model was generated using direct injection of lysolecithin (lpc) into the optic chiasm of c57/blj6 mice without any undesirable distributions of gliotoxin into other brain structures. histological and electrophysiological assessments of the processes of demyelination and remyelination in the animal model were done with specific myelin staining and visual evoked potential (vep) recordings. results: in this study, both electrophysiological and histological results demonstrated that maximum level of demyelination was observed on day 7 post lesion and an incomplete yet significant remyelination took place on day 14 post lesion. conclusion: results showed a relatively rapid endogenous myelin repair in mice optic chiasm. furthermore, this report might offer a new tool to address possible involvement of new origins of myelin-forming cells and subsequently their manipulation to promote myelin repair in the adult central nervous system.

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.

P72: Hesperetine Nanoparticles Ameliorate Glial Activation and Reduce Demyelination Llevel of Rat Optic Chiasm in Lysolecithin-Iinduced Demyelination Model

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most autoimmune neurological and inflammatory disease in worldwide. Demyelination and disturbance of action potential conductance are regarded as main signs of MS disease. Hesperetin (Hst) is one of the flavonoid that have neuroprotective properties. The present study attempts to evaluate the effects of hesperetin or its nanoparticle on myelin repair and gl...

Nogo Receptor Inhibition Enhances Functional Recovery following Lysolecithin-Induced Demyelination in Mouse Optic Chiasm

BACKGROUND Inhibitory factors have been implicated in the failure of remyelination in demyelinating diseases. Myelin associated inhibitors act through a common receptor called Nogo receptor (NgR) that plays critical inhibitory roles in CNS plasticity. Here we investigated the effects of abrogating NgR inhibition in a non-immune model of focal demyelination in adult mouse optic chiasm. METHODO...

Nogo receptor blockade enhances subventricular zone’s stem cells proliferation and differentiation in demyelination context

Introduction: Nogo-A and Nogo receptor (NgR) are expressed in the subventricular zone (SVZ) stem cells. NgR plays critical inhibitory roles in axonal regeneration and remyelination. However, the role of NgR in SVZ niche behaviors in demyelination context is still uncertain. Here we investigated the effects of NgR inhibition on SVZ niche reaction in a local model of demyelination in adult mouse ...

Apolipoprotein E Mimetic Promotes Functional and Histological Recovery in Lysolecithin-Induced Spinal Cord Demyelination in Mice

OBJECTIVE Considering demyelination is the pathological hallmark of multiple sclerosis (MS), reducing demyelination and/or promoting remyelination is a practical therapeutic strategy to improve functional recovery for MS. An apolipoprotein E (apoE)-mimetic peptide COG112 has previously demonstrated therapeutic efficacy on functional and histological recovery in a mouse experimental autoimmune e...

Cuprizone-induced demyelination in Wistar rats; electrophysiological and histological assessment.

OBJECTIVES Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects the Central Nervous System by destructing myelin shield and also can affects the peripheral nervous system. Demyelination is acquired characteristics disease and appears with the degeneration of myelin which protects the axons. Cuprizone (CPZ) model is a toxic demyelination model. The purpose of this study was to develop an MS model b...
