Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive autoimmune disease characterized by the accumulation of pathogenic inflammatory immune cells in central nervous system (CNS) that subsequently causes focal inflammation, demyelination, and neuronal damage. Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) well-established murine model MS. Presently, growing evidences show phenolic compounds exert ...

Objective(s): The current investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effects of 17β- estradiol (17β-ED) on the potential of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for modulation of immunity responses in an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS).Materials and Methods: After isolation of MSCs, cells were cultured in presence of 100 nM 17β-ED for 24 hr. Modeling of experimental autoimmune encephalom...

objective(s): multiple sclerosis (ms) is a serious neurological autoimmune disease, it commonly affects young adults. vitamin e (vit e) is an important component of human diet with antioxidant activity, which protects the body’s biological systems. in order to assess the effect of vit e treatment on this autoimmune disease, we established experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae), the ani...

Axonal damage is a major morphological alteration in the CNS of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, the underlying mechanism for the axonal damage associated with MS/EAE and its contribution to the clinical symptoms remain unclear. The expression of a fusion protein, named "Wallerian degeneration slow" (Wld(S)), c...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), are inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by localized areas of demyelination. The mechanisms underlying oligodendrocyte (OLG) injury in MS and EAE remain unknown. Here we show that caspase-11 plays crucial roles in OLG death and pathogenesis in EAE. Caspase-11 and ac...

introduction: multiple sclerosis (ms) has been recognized as a common neurodegenerative disease that occurs after an auto reactive t cells against myelin antigens.  demyelination and inflammation are the main features of this disease. the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective roles of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs) have been considered as a suitable treatment against autoi...

Objective(s): Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a serious neurological autoimmune disease, it commonly affects young adults. Vitamin E (Vit E) is an important component of human diet with antioxidant activity, which protects the body’s biological systems. In order to assess the effect of Vit E treatment on this autoimmune disease, we established experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the ani...

INTRODUCTION Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an enigmatic autoimmune-driven inflammatory/demyelinating disease of the human central nervous system (CNS), affecting brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. The cause of the disease is not known and the number of effective treatments is limited. Despite some clear successes, translation of immunological discoveries in the mouse experimental autoimmune enc...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common central nervous system disease associated with progressive physical impairment. To study the mechanisms of the disease, we used experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of MS. EAE is induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein35-55 peptide, and the severity of paralysis in the disease is generally measured using the EAE score. Here,...
